Western and Chinese astrology may seem to have little in common, but one strong commonality is the significance both give to Trine matches, where signs are four steps apart. Perhaps the most unexpected of these extremely harmonious combinations is Pisces and Scorpio.

At first sight, Pisces' sensitive, dreamy nature can seem a world away from Scorpio's brand of high-impact intensity. Yet this apparent divide simply represents the essential variability of these signs' shared element, Water. In fact, receptivity to change, and an appreciation of the fluidity of life with all its extremes of beauty and turmoil, is what unites these two passionate and emotionally complex signs. For a sign that is sometimes easily rattled or upset, Pisces can feel surprisingly comfortable with, indeed inspired by, Scorpio's charismatic drive. Scorpio, in turn, is likely to revel in Pisces' accepting and flexible attitude.

Even without expressing themselves in words, these two often sense they share a deep affinity about what is most important in life. All forms of creativity, idealism, and devotion are thus encouraged by this combination. The respective modalities progress naturally from Scorpio's achievement-oriented Fixed energy to Pisces' more contemplative Mutable energy. Combined projects therefore have ample depth and resolve to see them accomplished, original, and successful. Traits that can be difficult elsewhere can also be naturally redressed. Pisces may find themselves less hesitant or prone to time-wasting, Scorpio less overbearing or unforgiving. Both signs can shield each other from the kinds of escapism that their sensitive natures make them susceptible to in other contexts.

All in all, this match attracts truly wonderful energy, and in any context may prove a lifelong source of belonging, motivation, and deep affection.

Steve Jobs and Tim Cook

Tim Cook (11/1/1960, Scorpio Rat), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The co-founder of Apple and his successor as CEO worked together for 13 years before Jobs appointed Cook to replace him. Cook has described: "I have never tried to fill his shoes, not on day one and not in year 10. Because I've always thought they were not fillable by anyone...When he told me he wanted me to be CEO, he said that he never wanted me to ask what he would do. He wanted a professional transition, and he wanted the company to go on."

Miranda Lambert (11/10/1983, Scorpio Pig), Carrie Underwood (3/10/1983, Pisces Pig) : The country music superstars collaborated on the duet "Somethin' Bad" in 2014 and share a supportive friendship. Backing Underwood for Entertainer of the Year at the 2019 CMA Awards, Lambert wrote on Instagram: "[Underwood] blows me away every time I hear her sing. She never wavers in who she is or what she stands for. She has stayed true & pushed herself to be better. If you have never heard her sing 'How Great Thou Art' do yourself a favor and listen. I have her back in this picture and I’ll always have her back. So for the sake of sequins, spanx and spray tans, take it home! You Carrie the torch!"

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes

Ryan Gosling (11/12/1980, Scorpio Monkey), Eva Mendes (3/5/1974, Pisces Tiger) : The two actors have been together since 2011 and have two children. Accepting his 2017 Golden Globe award (for La La Land), Gosling said: "While I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer. So sweetheart, thank you...And I’d like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Juan Carlos Mendez."

Danny DeVito (11/17/1944, Scorpio Monkey), Lucy DeVito (3/11/1983, Pisces Pig) : The father and daughter actors recently collaborated on the animated show Little Demon. Lucy DeVito described: "What was so great about doing this and actually playing father and daughter, is that the relationship is already so cooked between us...there is something really cool just as an actor being thrown into a scenario where so many of those gaps are filled from actual real life...You know, we can finish each other’s sentences and we can read each other very well and get to these heightened emotional points in the way that only family members can. And so it was really cool to be able to just bring that into the work."

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell

Goldie Hawn (11/21/1945, Scorpio Rooster), Kurt Russell (3/17/1951, Pisces Rabbit) : The two legendary actors have been a couple since 1983. They have a child together and raised Hawn's children from a previous relationship, the actors Kate and Oliver Hudson. Hawn has described: "I think the secret is to know when to depend on somebody and when not to. It’s important that you are able to hold up your side of the house...The other part is to stay as sexy as you can and make sure you focus on all of those aspects of a healthy relationship — and sexuality is definitely one of them."

Jimmy Kimmel (11/13/1967, Scorpio Sheep), Molly McNearney (3/5/1978, Pisces Horse) : The star and head co-writer of Jimmy Kimmel Live! have been married since 2013 and have two children together. They worked together from 2003 before the relationship became romantic around 2010. McNearney has described: "All the writers would socialize after the show, and we would just hang out more and more. We really liked each other as friends, and then it just kind of turned. He cooked for me, and that was it. It sealed the deal."

Joni Mitchell (11/7/1943, Scorpio Sheep), James Taylor (3/12/1948, Pisces Rat) : The two singers were a couple for a time in the 1970s, and Taylor contributed to Mitchell's masterpiece album, Blue. Taylor has described: "It was a calm, peaceful, amazing, creative time. She quit smoking and her voice was excellent. She was at the height of her powers. It felt natural and easy for me to play on the album. There were very few people in the sessions. Blue’s brilliance lies in its minimalism. It thrives on her voice, melody and personality. It’s pure Joni...She is totally real and self-invented and it’s one of the best things in my life that I’ve known her."

Simply a wonderful match!

The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is that of the four Trine Families. One of these families consists of the Rooster and Snake (along with their most trusted friend, the Ox). Binding these signs together is a spirit of social affairs and commerce—an intuition for reading the tea leaves when it comes to any kind of enterprise or business, and a determination to follow through once opportunities are identified. The Rooster and Snake are likely to catch each other's attention at once.

These are two of the most visually engaging signs in the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster with their fashionista's panache, the Snake with their beguiling, mystical allure. But as soon as they get to talking, they are likely to discover an affinity that goes way deeper than appearances. The Rooster's incomparable flair for understanding social dynamics knits beautifully with the Snake's sixth sense for the philosophical side of human affairs. In no time, these two are likely to be sharing and enhancing each other's insightful commentaries about the state of things, in an atmosphere filled with admiration and enjoyment. Arising out of such interactions, there is a strong prospect of clear and productive direction.

Separately, these two can get overly caught up in themselves—both are prone to conceitedness, after all, and the Rooster's tendency towards self-involvement is matched by the Snake's weakness for somewhat miserly self-indulgence. Together, however, not only will these two usually be able to brush off each other's occasionally difficult traits, but they are likely to powerfully motivate one another to translate their talents into actualization and achievement. Not for nothing is the Rooster celebrated for their extraordinary capacities and resourcefulness, and the Snake too can draw on exceptional powers of commitment and concentration when they free themselves from distraction.

Don't be surprised if these two have each other's backs through thick and thin, nor if their relationship proves an enduring source of brilliant accomplishments and intense enjoyment.

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied

Benjamin Millepied (6/10/1977, Gemini Snake), Natalie Portman (6/9/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and dancer met on the set of the film, Black Swan (2010), for which Portman received an Academy Award. They have been married since 2012 and have two children together. Portman has described: "I met my husband on [the set of Black Swan], so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person.'"

Elizabeth Hurley (6/10/1965, Gemini Snake), Shane Warne (9/13/1969, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and cricketer were together in the early 2010s and announced a short-lived engagement in 2011. Warne described later: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."

Jakob Dylan and Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), Jakob Dylan (12/9/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two musicians are father and son. Wanting to protect the privacy of his legendary father, who in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting, Jakob Dylan said little about their relationship until 2005. Then, Jakob described: "When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons. Other people have put that tag on him in some otherworldly sense. I say it as any kid who admired his dad and had a great relationship with him. He never missed a single Little League game I had. He's collected every home-run ball I ever hit. And he's still affectionate to me. Maybe he doesn't want people to know that. But I'll tell you, because it's my interview."

Kevin James (4/26/1965, Taurus Snake), Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two comedian/actors lived together before they each achieved success, and later continued to guest-star on each other's long-running TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005), and The King of Queens (1998-2007). In a joint interview, Romano said: "We bonded over getting turned down for every audition we went on." James added: "We tried to play a lot of golf, because we didn't have a lot of work."

Jay-Z and Kanye West

Kanye West (6/8/1977, Gemini Snake), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two rappers are longtime friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the tracks "Otis", "Never Let Me Down", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)", "Run This Town", "’03 Bonnie & Clyde", "Clique", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", and "Encore". Although the two have faced challenges in their relationship, Jay-Z described: "That’s my brother, we’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye. And like your little brother, things happen sometimes...It’s like that. That’s still your sibling forever. I’ve watched Kanye from without an album. The thing that I respect about him is that he’s the same person. Like, he interrupted our studio session, stood on a table and started rapping. And we were like, ‘Could you please get down,’ and he was like ‘No, I’m the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record."

Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake), Ice Cube (6/15/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The two founding members of the rap group, NWA, formed a close collaboration and friendship in the 1980s. After a period of disputation after NWA broke up, in 2016 they appeared together on stage for the first time in 27 years. Cube described: "We just went forward. We're gonna always be like that. I don't care if we don't talk to each other for 10 years, when we see each other, it's gonna be like yesterday."

Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The two talk show hosts are close friends, who are also neighbours in Montecito, California. In a 2021 interview, Winfrey told Degeneres: "[Y]ou have shared yourself, the expression of your talent, in a way that has made people feel so much better about themselves all these years, that is what you’ve done, Ellen. It’s so much more than the show...Every single person in your audience who has been touched by you, by your laughter, by your jokes, by your kindness, by your sharing, by your being, that’s your legacy." Degeneres replied: "I love you so much, Oprah. I am, as I say all the time, I am so honored to call you a friend. You are the wisest person I know and I just adore you."
