Compatibility overview

Perhaps the most quiet of achievers. Pisces is a somewhat contradictory sign, with strong inclinations towards both intimacy and seclusion. Two Pisces together may discover a level of closeness and shared experience they never imagined might be possible.

Matches between natives of the same sign can sometimes feel as if they have too much in common. There can be a certain lack of excitement, a sense—conscious or unconscious—that there is a lack of balance, an excess of Yin, not enough Yang.

Fortunately for Pisces, though, their sign is intrinsically characterized by duality, as symbolized by the image of fish swimming in opposing directions. In the right circumstances, it is possible for these two to achieve a rare balance for two supposedly similar souls, taking full advantage of their extremely harmonious shared element of Water. They may find themselves alternating between more expressive and more unspoken communications, between lead and supportive roles in the relationship. The intimate, dreamy nature of this sign means they often attribute great (greatest, even) significance to close interpersonal relationships. So it is hardly surprising that two Pisces can develop a powerful bond, even if need be without regular contact, their shared sensibilities echoing across great distances in space or time.

Of course, there is always the possibility these two will allow each other so much freedom that they end up growing apart. Classically, the Mutable modality of Pisces is perhaps more likely to achieve reliable balance with Cardinal or Fixed signs. An influence from the Chinese zodiac that lends some practicality to this superabundance of dreamy, ethereal Piscean energy could only be helpful, for example. But given regular opportunities to share their highly compatible abstract values, there is beautiful depth here, and both parties may be richly rewarded and nourished—not to mention astonished—to find such a gentle kindred soul as a fellow Pisces.

Daniel Craig (3/2/1968, Pisces Monkey), Rachel Weisz (3/7/1970, Pisces Dog) : The two actors have been married since 2011. In 2019, Weisz explained why they have a lower public profile than some other celebrity couples: "I’m very happy being married, very, very happy. I really take my hat off to [other movie stars who make their 'coupledom' part of their brand]. But Daniel and I are really similar. We just literally don’t know how to do that. We’re just really crap at talking about our private lives."

Benny Blanco (3/8/1988, Pisces Dragon), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The two artists have collaborated multiple times as singer and writer/producer, including on the tracks, "Eenie Meenie" (2010), "Somebody to Love" (2010), "Love Yourself" (2015), and "Cold Water" (2016). The song, "Lonely" (2020), marked the first time Blanco is also co-credited as an artist. Blanco described: "[Bieber and I have] been working since 2009. I have seen this kid in every state. There have been times that were really good in the studio. There have been times that were not so good in the studio. We grow and learn in the best and worst times. He’s a good dude with a good heart. That’s essential to me. He’s also got one of the best pop voices, ever. He’s insane...[With 'Lonely',] I think we just got closer...If you’re hanging with him on the regular...you’re seeing things up close. You’re part of his life. You’re right next to him. You’re rehearsing an acoustic performance and he’s crying. This is another level. He’s opening up to me. We’re having deep conversations together; I don’t think that many people get to have those with Justin Bieber. We were already boys together. This song is us being brothers and shit...When you’re both the artists, you’re exposing yourselves. You both have to be really open. You both have to be 100% yourself."

Kate Mara (2/27/1983, Pisces Pig), Jamie Bell (3/14/1986, Pisces Tiger) : The two actors married in 2017. Said Mara in 2018, "I'm very protective of our marriage. All the traveling we both have to do for work can make it hard, but we have a rule that we will never go longer than two weeks without seeing each other. Even if we have to spend all day traveling to have just 24 hours together, it's worth it in order to have a strong relationship."

Horse and Rooster

Compatibility overview

Chinese astrology is often preoccupied with polarized ideas about very harmonious or very troubling energy. The match between the firsteast and secondeast, though, falls into the gray area in between. These signs are different in some fundamental respects, so there is potential for disturbance at times. Nevertheless, there are also some key synergies here, meaning there is potential for a warm and dependable relationship.

The Chinese zodiac relies essentially on four Trine Families (similar to the elements in Western astrology). The families of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and the Rooster (with the Ox and Snake) are generally not considered very harmonious. Indeed, there are some unstable combinations among these two families (such as the Horse and Ox, or the Rooster and Dog). The Horse and Rooster, though, share some very important qualities.

Perhaps foremost among these is that each is so comfortable receiving attention. To be sure, their styles are quite radically different. Where the Horse is likely to strike out on their own, occupying the limelight with lone wolf-style authority, the Rooster is more a dazzling fashionista, with a natural social presence and a sixth sense for group dynamics. Yet for both, the instinct to occupy center stage is an identity-defining trait. Another strong affinity here is the two signs' energy and commitment. For both the Horse and Rooster, beneath their prepossessing appearances lie extraordinary reserves of strength and commitment. It is a peril to underestimate either of these signs.

When they meet, the Horse and Rooster will often be profoundly impressed by each other's achievements and ambitions. There may be times when the differences between the Horse and Rooster bring about some turbulence. The Horse is usually a more restrained creature, who may find the Rooster's relentless panache makes them yearn for private time. The Rooster's social instincts tend to be irrepressible, and they may lose patience with the Horse's desire to escape on their own. Without clear strategies to counter these tensions, both signs may retreat into less positive aspects of their character. The Horse's manner could become cold or aloof, the Rooster's self-absorbed or brash. Successful relationships between these signs therefore may involve some compartmentalizing, so each can regain a sense of themselves distinct from their shared energy.

The synergies here are very strong, after all, and the potential for closeness and solidarity considerable. With some understanding and a shared vision for the future, there is plenty of scope for a close and impactful bond.

Alexis Arquette and Luke Perry

Luke Perry (10/11/1966, Libra Horse), Alexis Arquette (7/28/1969, Leo Rooster) : The actor and actor/activist were friends for over 30 years before Arquette's death in 2016. After Perry died in 2019, Arquette's sister Patricia described: "They were so close. I mean Luke was always there for Alexis all of the time. He loved Alexis to death. Early on, when Luke started having success with Beverly Hills, 90210, there were stories like, 'Luke Perry is gay. He's having a relationship with Alexis Arquette.' And Luke never said it wasn't true. When he was asked about it later, he said, 'Well, to deny that would be saying there is something wrong with it. And there is nothing wrong with that.' So Luke was way ahead of his time."

Kevin Federline (3/21/1978, Aries Horse), Britney Spears (12/2/1981, Sagittarius Rooster) : The musician and former dancer were married from 2004 to 2007 and had two sons together. Federline described in 2008: "I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph’s. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away...I was madly in love with her. Everything just seemed so right. I didn’t see it as too fast or too slow."

Denzel Washington and Spike Lee

Denzel Washington (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse), Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and director have collaborated on four films: Mo' Better Blues (1990), Malcolm X (1992), He Got Game (1998), and Inside Man (2006). Describing Washington's preparation for Malcolm X, Lee said: "There was no pork on his fork and no alcohol. He learnt how to pray in Arabic and he studied the Quran and that's because he is the most intelligent actor on this earth, in my opinion. There are many biopics, but just because you talk and look like the subject, that is only the surface. Denzel knew that his body is a vessel. And if he did the work, that somehow the spirit of Malcom X would come through him. But again, that only came through the work."

Mirka Federer (4/1/1978, Aries Horse), Roger Federer (8/8/1981, Leo Rooster) : The two tennis players met when they both represented Switzerland at the 2000 Olympic Games. They married in 2009 and have two sets of twins together.

Helen Mirren and Bob Hoskins

Bob Hoskins (10/26/1942, Scorpio Horse), Helen Mirren (7/26/1945, Leo Rooster) : The two celebrated British actors collaborated on the films The Long Good Friday (1981) and Last Orders (2001). Following Hoskins' death in 2014, Mirren described: "Bob was a great actor and an even greater man. Funny, loyal, instinctive, hard working, with that inimitable energy that seemed like a spectacular firework rocket just as it takes off. He was never sexist, when many around at that time, were. I had the honour of watching the creation of one of the most memorable characters of British film. Playing again with him was like playing a duet with a brother I had grown up with, which professionally I had. I personally will miss him very much, London will miss one of her best and most loving sons, and Britain will miss a man to be proud of."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The combination of two firstwest natives gives this relationship the dependable bedrock of a shared element, even if overfamiliarity sometimes causes a lack of excitement or makes dispute resolution difficult. The energy between the firsteast and secondeast involves perhaps a little more hesitation, but these signs can greatly admire each other, and with sensitivity and respect are likely to forge a supportive and lasting connection.
