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.

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."

This is one of the Chinese zodiac's prized Soulmate matches.

Quite simply, these two complement each other perfectly. The Monkey can discover that their sprightly cleverness is at once calmed and given true purpose by the profound, philosophical Snake. The Snake, meanwhile, finds endless delight in the Monkey's brilliant skills and frisky enthusiasm. Together, a union between these two tends to express the very best of their respective attributes. It is outwardly a spectacular blend of ingenuity, wisdom, and allure. For the parties themselves, the relationship can prove a once-in-a-lifetime source of security, reassurance, and selfless devotion.

Of course, all this potential does not come without cost. Soulmate energy can prove demanding. The Monkey and Snake may find their time together so absorbing that the relationship puts pressure on other parts of their lives. The potential for jealousy or disappointment, if either party is distracted, can be greater than with other harmonious combinations that are less intense or exclusive in orientation.

Ultimately, if this relationship is given the space it needs to breathe and grow, the rewards are likely to be nothing short of extraordinary.

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."

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady

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 and Selena Gomez

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."

Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie

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."
