Sagittarius Dragon and Leo Snake

Jennifer Lawrence (8/15/1990, Leo Horse), Nicholas Hoult (12/7/1989, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors became a high-profile couple after they started dating while co-starring in X-Men: First Class in 2010. They broke up around 2014. Lawrence was quoted in 2012: "[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I’m his best friend too. He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody … We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, 'Oh, she’s got a nice ass.' I never thought we’d have such different opinions on asses."

Iola Brubeck (8/14/1923, Leo Pig), Dave Brubeck (12/6/1920, Sagittarius Monkey) : The jazz pioneer and lyricist were married from 1942 until Dave Brubeck's death in 2012. They had six children. They collaborated multiple times, notably on the musical, The Real Ambassadors. Iola Brubeck has also been credited with developing a strategy to publicize and perform Dave's music to young college audiences during the 1950s, which proved transformatively successful. Iola once described the time before Dave achieved widespread recognition: "We learned to improvise in living; whatever place we could find to stay we stayed. We couldn’t afford the best so we learned how to use camping equipment inside a city hotel. We had sleeping bags and air mattresses...[F]ortunately, I think my background and Dave’s ranch background gave us sort of that, I don’t know, pioneer fortitude, I guess to [say,] okay, these are the circumstances, accept it and make the most of it. Make it work, it will work."

Michelle Yeoh (8/6/1962, Leo Tiger), Jamie Lee Curtis (11/22/1958, Sagittarius Dog) : The two actors starred together memorably in Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022). Curtis' celebratory reaction made headlines around the world after Yeoh won a Golden Globe for her performance. When Curtis herself won a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in the film, their relationship was again in the news after a celebratory kiss. Curtis said: "I kissed [Yeoh]?, Did I really kiss her? I love Michelle Yeoh. We love each other. We fell in love with each other. She's married. I met her husband in England, he's lovely. I also have a husband."

Bridgid Coulter (8/2/1968, Leo Monkey), Don Cheadle (11/29/1964, Sagittarius Dragon) : The two actors had been together for 28 years before marrying in 2020. They have two daughters. Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, Cheadle described in 2021: "[Marriage] came up a lot of time[s]. But every time, we were like, 'But we're already together?' [The accountant said], 'Yeah, but this is a better reason to be together.' Really, it's because our accountant proposed to us, I wish there were some big sweet romantic story, but the romance happened, you know, the first year."

James Cameron (8/16/1954, Leo Horse), Kathryn Bigelow (11/27/1951, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The two film directors were married from 1989-1991. At the 2010 Oscars, they were famously in competition for the Best Director award—Bigelow for The Hurt Locker (2008), and Cameron for Avatar (2009). It was reportedly Cameron who recommended Bigelow direct The Hurt Locker. A decade later, Cameron said about Bigelow's win: "[F]or me to begrudge not only someone that I’ve loved and believed in winning the best director, but also the first woman... f—, man. Stand back. Let her have her night. We talked about it endlessly before and after. They wanted us to be co-presenters, but we looked at one another and said, 'We’re not going to play that game.' If I was sitting here now, however many years later, looking at an Oscar that could have been hers, I would be feeling like s—. I was very happy at how it worked out."

Christine Taylor (7/30/1971, Leo Pig), Ben Stiller (11/30/1965, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors married in 2000 and have two children together. After separating in 2017, they reconciled during lockdown in 2020. Stiller described about their reconciliation: "I think we have a respect for the ways that we're similar and the ways we're different. And I think accepting that, you can really appreciate someone more because you're not trying to get them to change for you."

Sam Champion (8/13/1961, Leo Ox), Rubem Robierb (12/1/1976, Sagittarius Dragon) : The weather anchor and artist had been together for several years before they married in 2012. Robierb has described: "Sam and I connected on every level early on. We have always connected on important social issues. As we have grown more as a couple, we enjoy tackling them together and being around like minds."

Whitney Houston (8/9/1963, Leo Rabbit), Robyn Crawford (12/17/1960, Sagittarius Rat) : The two friends were inseparable for much of the legendary singer Houston's life. Crawford described in her memoir, A Song for You: "We never talked labels, like lesbian and gay. We just lived our lives, and I hoped it could go on that way for ever."

Chris Henchy (3/23/1964, Aries Dragon), Brooke Shields (5/31/1965, Gemini Snake) : The actor and screenwriter have been married since 2001 and have two children together. In a 2023 interview, Shields recalled a short break-up prior to their marriage. She described: "I was calling [Henchy] all the time, and he said, 'You broke up with me, this is the way it works. You don't get to call me every day, because you broke up with me. So don't call me every day.' [Smiling] But I want to talk to you...[I thought] I don't want to lose this person, so I better behave...[Henchy is] good at leveling me. Every time I finish with my therapist, Chris is like, 'Are you fixed? You're good? We're good?'"

Ginny Newhart (12/9/1940, Sagittarius Dragon), Bob Newhart (9/5/1929, Virgo Snake) : The comedian and television producer were married from 1963 until Ginnie Newhart died in April 2023. They had four children. In 2022, Bob Newhart described: "The marriages of comedians, no matter how stormy, seem to last a long time, and I attribute it to laughter. No matter how intense the argument you're having, you can find a line, and then you both look at each other and start laughing. It's over, you know? I think that sense of humor is very important to the longevity of a marriage."

Chadwick Boseman (11/29/1976, Sagittarius Dragon), Viola Davis (8/11/1965, Leo Snake) : The two actors co-starred memorably in Boseman's final film, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020). They were both nominated for Academy Awards, and won Screen Actors Guild awards, for their performances. Davis described: "We have a lot of frauds in our business: people coming out of nowhere, having never done anything, and they want to be Meryl Streep in two seconds. This man was an artist, meaning you have to let go of your ego, your vanity; you can’t mistake your presence for the event, that you have to tap into a wellspring of pain, trauma, joy, all of that, and use that as fuel with your work. He was just one of those. You can have a 50-year career and never work with a Chadwick Boseman."

Maya Angelou (4/4/1928, Aries Dragon), Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake) : The media personality/actor and writer were friends from the 1980s until Angelou died in 2014. Speaking about the unveiling of Angelou's portrait at the Smithsonian shortly before she died, Winfrey described: "[H]ow blessed I am to have had Maya Angelou as a teacher, mother/sister, and friend since my 20s. I have learned more from her than from anyone else. Many of the most important things I know for sure were gleaned from conversations with her...No time with Maya is ever wasted. Whether sitting at her kitchen table and listening to her recite poetry (sometimes her own, but mostly others'—everything from lyrics by Paul Laurence Dunbar to a sonnet by Shakespeare) or watching her speak to an audience of thousands, as she did earlier this year in Texas, I always come away inspired to be more of myself."

Alicia Vikander (10/3/1988, Libra Dragon), Michael Fassbender (4/2/1977, Aries Snake) : The two actors have been in a relationship since 2014. They married in 2017 and have one child. Vikander described in 2018: "Of course he'd done more films than me, but immediately when we started to work together he was so open to wanting me to chip in new ideas and thoughts...He would be like, 'I'm stuck; what should I do?' and I would say, 'You're asking me?' That was such a sweet thing."

Keanu Reeves (9/2/1964, Virgo Dragon), Alex Winter (7/17/1965, Cancer Snake) : The two actors are real-life friends who also shared an iconic on-screen friendship in the films, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991), and Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020). Interviewed together in 2020, Winter said, "I think of [Reeves] as my brother." Reeves described: "We enjoy each other's company and our thoughts and takes on the world. When we come together, it's like, 'What are you thinking?' 'I don't know, but this is kind of funny.' 'Yeah, that's kind of weird too.' ... I love the characters. I love the world and I love working with Alex. I'm grateful that we had the chance to play again."

Herbie Hancock (4/12/1940, Aries Dragon), Chick Corea (6/12/1941, Gemini Snake) : The two celebrated keyboard players collaborated for decades, including as part of Miles Davis' band on the albums, In a Silent Way(1969), Bitches Brew(1970), and On the Corner (1972). In 1978, they began touring together, leading to the albums, An Evening With Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea: In Concert (1978), and CoreaHancock (1979). They reunited to tour as a duo in 2015. In 2021, Hancock described: "Chick was always playful; there was this kind of joy in his playing, and almost a childlike playfulness, like we’re playing in a sandbox, and it brought joy to me and then I would feed something and it would bring joy to him. We were like two kids. That was so inspiring and encouraging. There was never one hint of competition; it was all inspiration. So I could get inspiration from two [places]: I could get it from myself and from him. And I think he felt the same way."
