Pisces Ox and Gemini Dog

Dean Martin (6/7/1917, Gemini Snake), Jerry Lewis (3/16/1926, Pisces Tiger) : As "Martin and Lewis", actor/singer Martin and actor/comedian Lewis formed one of the most popular US comedy duos of all time, making 16 films between 1946 and 1956. They were famously estranged for 20 years after their break-up, but reconciled later in life. Describing the comic-mayhem-versus-straight-man motif at the heart of their act, Lewis wrote in the autobiographical, Dean and Me: A Love Story (2005), "One time I’d gone so far that Dean and I found ourselves literally standing nose to nose, with maybe an eighth of an inch of air between us. And he said, with genuine anger in his voice, ‘I have finally come to the point in our relationship where I am going to have to tell you, if you do that again, it’s over. Do you understand that? O-V-U-R!’ I planted my mouth on his, gave him a big kiss, and said, ‘I understand perfectly.’ Now, I have to tell you, the first time I ever did that, Dean had absolutely no idea it was coming!...The act might have looked like chaos, but we could always get back to where we needed to get on a moment’s notice...Either Dean and I, together, would save us, or Dean would save me, or I would save him. It was a brilliant concept."

Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster), Danny Aiello (6/20/1933, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and director/actor famously collaborated on Lee's acclaimed film, Do the Right Thing (1989). Speaking at Aiello's memorial service in 2019, Lee said: "I am honored to be here. Danny and I have been connected forever. Danny was kind of reluctant [to be involved in Do the Right Thing]. You know, we had different backgrounds … he was Catholic, he was raised in Manhattan. I’m Brooklyn. He was reluctant, so I took him to a Knick game. Then I took him to Yankees stadium the house that Ruth built...He said, ‘I’ll do your film.’ ...[Over the next 30 years] [w]e recognized our differences, political or whatever else you want to talk about it but we truly loved each other...I’m just blessed to have known Danny and the great Aiello family."

Normani (5/31/1996, Gemini Rat), Camila Cabello (3/3/1997, Pisces Ox) : As two members of the group, Fifth Harmony, singers Normani and Cabello shared a close and collaborative friendship from 2012 to 2016. At one time, Normani posted to Cabello: "I love you to pieces & I'm so grateful to have gained a sister like you. I've learned so much about life in general and about myself through things that you have taught me. You've taught me to look at certain things or situations from a different perspective. I haven't always been confident in myself and would always over analyze things that I would do or say but you told me anytime I feel that way just say 'WHAT EVERRRRR' lol as simple as that is it works ! ... i love you always even when we argue over stupid things like who took longer in the shower lol yo mama and papa did a heck of a great job with ya 👏 I LOVE YOUUUUUU CUHHHHHHHH😘🎈🍟💃🎀🎂." In 2020, after racist social media posts by Cabello emerged from years earlier, Normani said, "It was devastating that this came from a place that was supposed to be a safe haven and a sisterhood...It took days for [Cabello] to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced. Whether or not it was her intention, this made me feel like I was second to the relationship that she had with her fans. I really hope that an important lesson was learned in this."

Laurie Anderson (6/5/1947, Gemini Pig), Lou Reed (3/2/1942, Pisces Horse) : Musician Reed and artist/musician/film-maker Anderson were partners for 21 years, and married in 2008. Anderson described in 2013: "Lou and I played music together, became best friends and then soul mates, traveled, listened to and criticized each other’s work, studied things together (butterfly hunting, meditation, kayaking). We made up ridiculous jokes; stopped smoking 20 times; fought; learned to hold our breath underwater; went to Africa; sang opera in elevators; made friends with unlikely people; followed each other on tour when we could; got a sweet piano-playing dog; shared a house that was separate from our own places; protected and loved each other...Like many couples, we each constructed ways to be – strategies, and sometimes compromises, that would enable us to be part of a pair. Sometimes we lost a bit more than we were able to give, or gave up way too much, or felt abandoned. Sometimes we got really angry. But even when I was mad, I was never bored. We learned to forgive each other. And somehow, for 21 years, we tangled our minds and hearts together."

Carrie Underwood (3/10/1983, Pisces Pig), Mike Fisher (6/5/1980, Gemini Monkey) : Singer Underwood and former professional NHL hockey player Fisher have been married since 2010. They have two children. Speaking on the first episode of the couple's digital series, Mike + Carrie: God & Country (2020-2021), Fisher described, "We learn from each other and have spirited discussions about things that we disagree on, but at the end of the day, we love each other very much." On another episode, he said, "We're not perfect. We don't have a perfect marriage. But we have that one thing in our faith. ... It's a center ground that’s the most important thing around everything."

Ivana Trump (2/20/1949, Pisces Ox), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The real estate developer and future US President were married from 1977 to 1992 and had three children. In a 2017 interview, Ivana described: "Donald gave me all the opportunity to go and prove myself. I built the Commander Hotel. I built the Trump Tower. Then Donald [sent] me to Atlantic City, and I was flying at 8 in the morning after breakfast with the kids to Atlantic City on the helicopter. I think that Donald supports the woman. He loves the woman. Always did. He definitely respected women."

Meryl Streep (6/22/1949, Cancer Ox), Don Gummer (12/12/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The celebrated actor and visual artist were together for around 45 years after they married in 1978. They have four children. Streep described in 2019: "Teamwork is everything. My husband Don was … very involved. He was a little more relaxed when it comes to raising kids. I was more of a tiger mom. When my son Henry was little, he wanted to learn to play the piano but the teacher we hired was not very good, and Henry lost interest. I thought he should continue to take lessons, but my husband thought it was my dream that I was trying to impose on him. Today, my son is 37 and he's a musician. Tigermom Meryl was right."

Angela Lansbury (10/16/1925, Libra Ox), Bea Arthur (5/13/1922, Taurus Dog) : The two actors formed a close and lasting friendship when they acted together in 1965. In a speech inducting Arthur into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2008, Lansbury said: "[S]peaking of Bea and me, I think I can say in all honesty that we have enjoyed each other’s company in  so many ways above and beyond the make believe of theater and television. I know what a shy and retiring person she is at heart. Home and hearth and family and friends are the mainstays of her life. Oh and did I mention that she was a gourmand of the first order and superb cook. She taught me how to appreciate good sushi and I taught her how to prune her roses...[I]t is my great honor to present the academy of television arts and sciences hall of fame award to my beloved bosom buddy, Bea Arthur. Thank you for being my friend."

Warren Beatty (3/30/1937, Aries Ox), Madonna (8/16/1958, Leo Dog) : The superstar actor and musician dated around the time they co-starred in Dick Tracy, and have remained complimentary about one another. Beattie said in 2016: "[Madonna] is a huge personality, diligent and disciplined and a spectacular dancer and performer. She’s a phenomenon."

Kate Moss (1/16/1974, Capricorn Ox), Naomi Campbell (5/22/1970, Gemini Dog) : The two supermodels have maintained a close friendship since they were teenagers. Campbell has written: "Kate and I have seen each other through the good and the bad. Kate has stood by me through it all...[W]e’ve learned to resolve issues one-on-one, we don’t let anyone else get involved. We don’t have to speak every day but we have a connection...She’s very intuitive, very instinctive. She might not tell you she’s noticed something straight away but she doesn’t miss a beat. Nothing gets past her."

Martin Amis (8/25/1949, Virgo Ox), Kingsley Amis (4/16/1922, Aries Dog) : The two writers provide one of the few if any cases where both father and child have become celebrated novelists, though their styles are starkly different. Martin Amis has described their relationship: "[Kingsley] was brilliantly indolent: he never gave me any encouragement at all...I think [The Rachel Papers, Martin's first book] was the last novel of mine he read all the way through...[For] subsequent books, he read about twenty pages and then gave up. It took a bit of getting used to, this, because you felt it as a son and as a fellow writer...I would much rather revise upward my opinion of a friend’s book than endanger a friendship. But he was not like that; in that way he was much tougher than me."
