Pisces and Pisces

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."

Boyd explained later: "It was really fabulous in the beginning. We were both so young, we were able to go out, hang out, play, I introduced him to my friends...We had a wonderful time. He’d go off on tour and I’d hang out with my friends, while we all waited for George to come back. He was really the sweetest guy."

Benny Blanco and Justin Bieber

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."

Much like the elements in Western astrology, the Chinese zodiac is predicated on four Trine Families of signs. The family that comprises the Dragon and Rat (and their sibling-in-arms the Monkey) is classically the most inventive and vigorous of the four. The energy here is relentlessly high-octane, impatient to conceptualize the next breakthrough invention, anxious to see their daring schemes translated into brazen reality.

The Dragon is a stunningly combustible legend, generally at their most comfortable showcasing their glorious talents for the widest possible audience. They are likely to be quickly seduced by the charms and brilliant ambitions of the resourceful Rat. The Rat, meanwhile, ever shrewd, and quite happy to step into or out of the limelight themselves depending on what suits their clever purposes, is likely to seize immediately on the huge potential the Dragon represents for effective and concerted action. Most importantly, while a certain pragmatism may influence early contacts between these two, they are likely to find themselves almost immediately swept up in spontaneous joy.

Irrepressible and with talent to burn, in many quarters these signs can be easily bored or difficult to please. In each other's company, however, there will never be a dull moment! Don't be surprised if there is a sense of, "At last!", as these two finally find themselves free to unleash their prodigious skills in ways that are both exhilarating and productive.

As time passes by, seemingly in a pleasureful, constructive instant, the Rat and Dragon will probably find to their surprise that they have already built the foundation for a lifelong and deeply rewarding relationship.

Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder

Donna Summer (12/31/1948, Capricorn Rat), Giorgio Moroder (4/26/1940, Taurus Dragon) : The collaboration between singer Summer and producer Moroder during the 1970s and 80s has been credited as a pivotal influence on the history of dance music. Moroder described in 2023, "[Summer and I] were close, even though at the beginning of our relationship, so much of our time was divided, me mostly in Munich and her mostly in America after her success...[I] saw her often, during the last years of her life as she lived in the same building as I did in Los Angeles. We got close again before she died...If she ever believed that I was something of a mentor, that was OK, considering the years that we worked so closely together...I think that our musical relationship was really, really good. She believed in what Pete [Bellotte, Moroder’s longtime songwriting partner] and I were doing, and co-wrote the songs with us, while I did most of the music. She was very much involved. It was less of a singer-producer relationship and more like three guys working on songs together. That camaraderie had much to do with the success of our music."

Jean-Michel Basquiat (12/22/1960, Capricorn Rat), Andy Warhol (8/6/1928, Leo Dragon) : In spite of a 32 year age gap, the two famous artists developed a close and intimate relationship in the art scene of 1980s New York. Warhol described how after one of their first meetings Basquiet created an artwork of the two together: "He went home and within two hours a painting was back, still wet, of him and me together. And I mean, just getting to Christie Street must have taken an hour. He told me his assistant painted it."

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

Katy Perry (10/25/1984, Scorpio Rat), Orlando Bloom (1/13/1977, Capricorn Dragon) : The singer/songwriter and actor have dated since 2016, been engaged since 2019, and have a daughter together. In an Instagram tribute to Bloom on his 45th birthday in 2022, Perry posted: "Thank you for being a constant compass, an unwavering anchor and bringing joi[e] de vivre into every room you walk in. You are the love and light of my life."

Elsie Hewitt (3/5/1996, Pisces Rat), Benny Blanco (3/8/1988, Pisces Dragon) : The producer and model/actor quarantined together during the Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020. Hewitt and Blanco offered glimpses into their playful and intimate domestic life in a series of YouTube videos Hewitt created showing them preparing and cooking meals together.

Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi

John Belushi (1/24/1949, Aquarius Rat), Dan Aykroyd (7/1/1952, Cancer Dragon) : The two actors were long term collaborators, close friends and colleagues who worked together on iconic sets such as Saturday Night Live and The Blues Brothers. Forty years after Belushi's tragic death, Aykroyd commented in an interview, "I think of him every day."

LeBron James (12/30/1984, Capricorn Rat), Kevin Durant (9/29/1988, Libra Dragon) : The two world-famous basketballers jockeyed for position as potentially the best player in the NBA during the early 2020s. Despite their rivalry on court, James and Durant are close friends who are quick to defend each other, especially against media criticism. Durant stated in 2021: "Anything LeBron does, you guys talk about like it is breaking news. He can’t do anything. He has to play every game, he has to average close to a triple-double, he has to be a perfect person, because you will say everything about him."
