Sagittarius Snake and Sagittarius Monkey

Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), Jake Gyllenhaal (12/19/1980, Sagittarius Monkey) : Singer/songwriter Swift and actor Gyllenhaal shared a brief romance in 2010 that, at the time and subsequently, has attracted significant attention. The relationship reportedly inspired much of Swift's multi-platinum album, Red (2012). In 2013, Swift described talking to Gyllenhaal later: "[Gyllenhaal] was like, ‘I just listened to the album, and that was a really bittersweet experience for me. It was like going through a photo album.’ That was nice. Nicer than, like, the ranting, crazy e-mails I got from this one dude. It’s a lot more mature way of looking at a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, and both people got hurt from it — but one of those people happened to be a songwriter. So what are you going to do? Did you not Wikipedia me before you called me up [for a date]?"

Chris Evert (12/21/1954, Sagittarius Horse), Billie Jean King (11/22/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two legendary tennis players forged a strong friendship when they played on the professional circuit in the 1970s and 1980s. Evert has described how King defended her from bullying when she was a teenager. In 2023, Evert said: "It’s [King's] effect on women’s sports — not just women’s tennis. She’s probably the most driven person I’ve ever known in my life. Her vision was unbelievable when it came to women’s team sports. It was taboo 50 years ago to be a women’s athlete. It wasn’t admired. Now women can be proud to be an athlete and she changed that perception. I’ve remained very close to Billie Jean [and Martina (Navratilova)], more than anyone else who played then. We’ve always stayed in touch. I see (Billie) at all the Grand Slams. We have such a friendship where over the years we can finish each other's sentences. We all know what we’ve both been through."

Billy Connolly (11/24/1942, Sagittarius Horse), Pamela Stephenson (12/4/1949, Sagittarius Ox) : The legendary British comedian and psychologist have been married since 1989. They have three children. In her best-selling biography of Connolly, Billy (2002), Stephenson wrote: "For Billy, reading each chapter after completion has elicited the shock of self-confrontation, accompanied by by frequent laughter, occasional fury and a few precious tears as he painfully re-experienced many traumatic events. Most rewardingly for the author, the process of drawing together the following occurrences and providing insights might well have been a catalyst for his further healing, although Billy will have none of that: ‘Pish!’ He cries. ‘As my old granny Flora used to say, "The more you know, the less the better."'"

Tom Waits (12/7/1949, Sagittarius Ox), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two musicians formed an enduring friendship when they collaborated together on Waits' legendary albums, Rain Dogs (1985), and Bone Machine (1992). In 2015, Waits wrote a poem dedicated to Richards for Rolling Stone magazine. Waits described in 2021, "There’s nobody in the world like [Richards]. We wrote songs together for a while and that was fun [but] he doesn’t really remember anything or write anything down. So, you play for an hour and he would yell across the room, ‘Scribe!’ And I looked around. ‘Scribe? Who’s the scribe?’ And he’d say it again, now pointing at me. I was supposed to have written down everything we said and dreamt of and played. And I realised we needed an adult in the room. I’ve never been the one that one would consider the adult. It was an interesting dynamic."

Kenneth Branagh (12/10/1960, Sagittarius Rat), Judi Dench (12/9/1934, Sagittarius Dog) : The two British actors share a close friendship and have collaborated multiple times over 35 years, including on the films, Ghosts (1987), Henry V (1989), My Week with Marilyn (2011), Murder on the Orient Express (2017), All is True (2018), and Belfast (2021). As well as acting together, they have also directed one another in film and stage productions. In a joint 2022 interview, they shared this exchange: "[Branagh:] [Dench] has a very healthy, a very rigorous, and I would say savage, artistic judgment and artistic conscience. [Dench:] I certainly don’t believe ‘savage.’ [Branagh:] I mean ‘savage’ in terms of rigorous. [Dench:] Was I savage when I gave you notes for ‘Much Ado About Nothing’?...You wouldn’t stay for the notes! [Branagh:] We have had our run-ins about these kinds of things. I would say ‘savagery’ in terms of being an artistic Puritan. [Dench:] That is much nicer. [Branagh:] Well, it’s in the same world!"

42 Dugg (11/25/1994, Sagittarius Dog), Lil Baby (12/3/1994, Sagittarius Dog) : The two rappers share a close and collaborative friendship, having worked together on the songs, "We Paid" (2020), "Grace" (2020), and "U-Digg" (2022). 42 Dugg described in 2021, "Baby was my mans. I’m like, if I do anything, I want to include my mans. So that’s how it went...We just was freestyling...A lot of times, me and Baby will throw in some beats, and we’ll just start talking s— to each other. That’s how we made ‘We Paid.’...I didn’t even like the song. I didn’t like it because it was a different beat. So when I started rapping, I wasn’t that comfortable until he played it again. [Lil Baby] played it when we were shooting ‘Grace,’ and it went viral. Everybody in Detroit was like, ‘What the f— is this song?’ It ain’t even have no name. Then he named it ‘We Paid’ and said he’s going to put it on the [Lil Baby album, My Turn (Deluxe) (2020)]."

June Carter (6/23/1929, Cancer Snake), Johnny Cash (2/26/1932, Pisces Monkey) : After a difficult courtship—both were religious and married to other people when they met—these two legendary country music stars were married from 1968 until 2003. They collaborated extensively, including on the albums, Carryin' On With Johnny Cash & June Carter (1967), Johnny Cash and His Woman (1973), Return to the Promised Land (2000), and Duets (2006). According to one biographer, Cash's first words on meeting Carter were, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash and I'm going to marry you someday."

Paul Simon (10/13/1941, Libra Snake), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The actor and musician were in an intimate relationship for 12 years, off and on, including a short-lived marriage. Fisher wrote in her memoir, Wishful Drinking: "Paul and I dated for six years, married for two, divorced for one, and then we had good memories of each other so what do you think we did? ... We dated again."

Tom Brady (8/3/1977, Leo Snake), Gisele Bündchen (7/20/1980, Cancer Monkey) : The model and NFL legend meet in 2006 were married from 2009 to 20022. They have two children, and Bündchen is stepmother to Brady's child from a previous relationship (with Bridget Moynahan). Bündchen described early in their relationship: "You know that feeling of, like, you can’t get enough? From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other." Their break-up followed Brady's decision to return to playing NFL football only six weeks after announcing his retirement in February 2022. Shortly before their separation was announced, Bündchen described: "Obviously, I have my concerns—this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like [Brady] to be more present. I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again."

René Angélil (1/16/1942, Capricorn Snake), Celine Dion (3/30/1968, Aries Monkey) : The music producer and singer first met when Angélil heard a demo Dion recorded as a 12-year old. As well as business partners, the pair were married from 1994 until his death in 2016, and had twins together. Dion said in 2013, "We laugh. We joke. We kid each other. We want our marriage to last forever. Talk over everything and you’ll find you are still on the honeymoon. Communication — it’s the most important. It’s the secret."

Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), Selena Gomez (7/22/1992, Cancer Monkey) : The superstar musician and singer/actor have been close friends since 2008. Swift described in a joint interview: "There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don't say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met [Gomez] I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don't know if I can forgive someone who hurts her." Gomez added: "There's so much of my friendship with Taylor that people don't know about because we don't necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do. She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected. Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family. It's been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don't agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything."

Robin Dearden (12/4/1953, Sagittarius Snake), Bryan Cranston (3/7/1956, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors have been married since 1989. A year after Cranston held Dearden at gunpoint in an episode of Airwolf, they met up again and spontaneously shared a lingering kiss. Cranston has recounted, "We were both like, 'Wait that was too long, wasn’t it?'...And that is really what happened."

Dizzy Gillespie (10/21/1917, Libra Snake), Charlie Parker (8/29/1920, Virgo Monkey) : The two jazz legends collaborated extensively during the 1940s, becoming pivotal contributors to the development of bebop and modern jazz. Gillespie's memoir, To Be or Not to Bop (1985) described: "[Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker] made a gigantic contribution, which really added a new dimension to the music. It’s hard to describe it exactly, he contributed so many different elements...'Bird' has some notes in his melodies, the lines that he wrote, that are deep, deep notes, as deep as anything Beethoven ever wrote. And he had little things that he used to play inside. He’d play other tunes inside the chords of the original melody, and they were always right...Charlie Parker was something else."

Björk (11/21/1965, Scorpio Snake), Thom Yorke (10/7/1968, Libra Monkey) : The two musicians collaborated on the track "I’ve Seen It All" (with Sjón and Lars von Trier) from the soundtrack for Dancer in the Dark (2000). Bjork described at the time: "I respect [Yorke] very much. He’s very shy and uncertain and doesn’t [reveal] too much of himself. That’s why it’s quite hard for me to explain what he’s like. I can’t do him justice. But he’s a very special person. When he enters a room he affects the whole atmosphere in a very positive way...His work is based on communication and understanding. He’s very down-to-earth and not egocentric at all. We worked together for three or four days, which I’m very grateful about. We worked together with songs, which I had worked on during three years not knowing what to do with them. Thanks to him these songs saw a new light of day and that was a wonderful experience." In 2006, Yorke said Bjork's "Unravel" was, "[O]ne of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard."
