Both the Western and Chinese zodiacs have a prized place for Trine sign combinations. Cancer and Scorpio, four steps apart on the Western zodiac wheel, form one of these prized matches.

Part of the recipe for harmony between these two signs arises from their shared element of Water. Water contributes essential fluidity and depth to these sensitive, empathic signs. Cancer and Scorpio are both highly attuned to the feelings of others. This is especially so for Cancer, the most impressionable and reactive of all the signs, but strong-willed Scorpio is also deceptively porous—Scorpio may sometimes sting instead of soothe, but they rarely miss their mark. In other company, the responsiveness of Cancer and Scorpio can make them feel crowded or overborne. Imagine their joy, then, when they discover an equally aware, responsive soul. These two will tend to communicate in ways beyond words from the very beginning, sensing a freedom to be completely themselves, as well as a shared respect for interior reflection and peace. Cancer’s love of home, and their instinct to cultivate an independent, dream-filled existence, can provide much-needed calmness to the life of the intense, powerful Scorpio. Scorpio’s uniquely driven, impactful nature gives Cancer confidence and security, while at the same time creating ample space for Cancer to truly understand their own nature in a way they rarely experience with other signs.

The respective modalities here are also marvellously compatible. Cancer is a Cardinal sign, embodying the pure energy of new possibilities and unexplored horizons, while Scorpio’s Fixed character brings the desire for productivity and tangible, real-world accomplishments. Collaborations are thus not only mutually pleasurable and admiring, but also destined to be completed and successful.

There may be no certainty in relationships, but on the Western side, no combination is more conducive to a rewarding and lasting connection than that between Cancer and Scorpio.

Camilla, Queen Consort (7/17/1947, Cancer Pig), King Charles III (11/14/1948, Scorpio Rat) : King Charles III and his wife the Queen Consort have known each other since the 1970s. They were widely rumored to be having an affair during Charles' marriage to Princess Diana Spencer, and married in 2005. Charles has described: "It’s always marvelous to have somebody who, you know, you feel understands and wants to encourage. Although she certainly pokes fun if I get too serious about things. And all that helps."

George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog), Laura Bush (11/4/1946, Scorpio Dog) : The 43rd US President and First Lady have been married since 1977 and have two children. They became engaged after three months of dating. Though they have rarely discussed their relationship in public, in a 2021 interview with his daughter Laura, George W. Bush said: "You should’ve seen your mom [when we met]. Those blue eyes, oh my god...I’ve done a lot of things in my life. And your mom has enabled me to do so in many ways."

Liv Tyler and Joaquin Phoenix

Liv Tyler (7/1/1977), Cancer Snake), Joaquin Phoenix (10/28/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors dated for three years after they started dating while co-starring in Inventing the Abbotts (1997). Phoenix described: "I’m a great believer in people coming into your life, and you into theirs, for a reason. And I know that when Liv and I met, it was for a reason — I really needed her and she really needed me. And at a certain point, I think we stopped evolving with each other, stopped progressing, and made a very mature decision to move on, even though there was still a great love there. There’s no one gossipy thing that I can share. I’m thankful that we had the time we had."

Paul Thomas Anderson (6/26/1970, Cancer Dog), Jonny Greenwood (11/5/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The director and composer have collaborated four times, on the films There Will Be Blood (2007), The Master (2012), Inherent Vice (2014), and Phantom Thread (2017). Greenwood has described: "[Y]ou should know that whenever you’re in the edit [room] with Paul he is — without exception — laughing throughout...He’s the whole package — scripts, cinematography, storytelling, humor, romance, oddness, and genuity. There’s no one like him: Perhaps there’s people who do the individual skills as well — or better— but no one has the full deck like Paul. I’m glad he’s terrible at playing musical instruments; there’s a job left for me."

Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio

Tobey Maguire (6/27/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors have been close friends since they were teenagers. They have also worked together on several occasions, including co-starring in The Great Gatsby (2013). Maguire has described: "[Leo and I] are like any other buddies. There's a lot of laughing and chatting between us. We enjoy doing a lot of things we have in common, like basketball. We like to play and talk about basketball.."

Carly Simon (6/25/1945, Cancer Rooster), Mike Nichols (11/6/1931, Scorpio Sheep) : The singer/songwriter and film director were friends who collaborated extensively, including on the films Working Girl (1988), Heartburn (1986), and Postcards from the Edge (1990). After Nichols died in 2014, Simon wrote: "[Nichols] was the biggest influence in my adult life. Like a father or older brother to me. Giving me advice and when I didn’t take it, he’d smile the most understanding smile and say: 'You see, I warned you!!!' It was never mean or patronizing. His charm and wit are famous. I saw him so many times in the flesh, just sitting still, not knowing he was being watched. I felt his deep thoughts and observations without knowing what they were specifically."

Joanne Tucker and Adam Driver

Joanne Tucker (6/26/1982, Cancer Dog), Adam Driver (11/19/1983, Scorpio Pig) : The two actors were a longtime couple before they married in 2013. As well as acting together several times, they co-founded the organization Arts in the Armed Forces in 2006. Their first child was born in secret, with Driver explaining, "My job is to be a spy — to be in public and live life and have experience. But, when you feel like you’re the focus, it’s really hard to do that." In a monologue on SNL in 2020, Driver said to laughter: "I’m a husband and a father. It’s in that order though. I’ve been very clear with my son about that. He’s second to everything."

Lisa Rinner (7/11/1963, Cancer Rabbit), Harry Hamlin (10/30/1951, Scorpio Rabbit) : The two actors married in 1997 and have two children. They have also collaborated on multiple occasions, including on the reality TV series, Harry Loves Lisa (2010). Rinner has described: "We are crazy about each other, and you can't create that, you can't make it — it either is, or it isn't … I think you either really dig somebody, or you don't. And I'm so blessed, we are so blessed that that happened for us."

Compatibility overview

The expression "power couple" is often bandied about, but such a description is more or less expected for this ultra-stylish, supercharged pair. Two Roosters share highly compatible core values, not to mention one of the most prodigious work ethics in the zodiac. Fair warning, a lack of balance can lead to some explosive confrontations. But these two will never shy away from a challenge, and can ultimately forge a powerful bond.

The pairing of two Rooster natives is as powerful as any in the Chinese zodiac.

In the Chinese zodiac, matches between members of the same Trine Family have a strong foundation from the outset. The family of the Rooster (with the Ox and Snake) is celebrated for their business sense and determination, so two Roosters will generally find they have plenty in common when it comes to identifying and pursuing opportunities.

The Rooster's true gift is their sixth sense for capturing the zeitgeist. Two Roosters can thus be blown away by each other's incredible personal flair, and their innate abilities to read and impact the social currencies of their community. Far from skin deep, mutual admiration and attraction here arise from an instinctive recognition that each possesses the insight, drive, and energy necessary to achieve their goals. Indeed, these two will often waste no time before collaborating to startling effect. After all, one Rooster can be a visionary trendsetter—two can bend history to their will.

There is an undeniable quality of dynamite to this match, however, that may sometimes prove difficult to control. The Rooster is accustomed to having complete control over their own trajectory and self-presentation, and being eclipsed can be very challenging for them. Everything may be roses when they are in lock step, but two Roosters can find they hurt each other's feelings when their individual missions diverge. Self-absorption is also a notorious challenge for this sign. At times, both parties may have an uncomfortable sense they are more like an accessory than the main attraction they wish to be. Fortunately, the Rooster is just as capable of applying their tireless diligence to relationships as to other tasks.

Ultimately, this connection may prove a heady combination of impassioned highs and lows, but there is every chance two Rooster natives will be able to find a rhythm that sustains and inspires them long into the future to dazzling effect.

John Turturro and Spike Lee

Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster), John Turturro (2/28/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and director/actor are longtime collaborators and friends, who worked together on films including Do the Right Thing (1989), Mo Better Blues (1990), Jungle Fever (1991), and Clockers (1995). Discussing their respective acting contributions to the acclaimed Do the Right Thing, Lee referred to Turturro in handwritten notes as "MY MAIN MAN" and said: "John Turturro and I had very good chemistry between us. We're great friends, and he's such a great actor. I was very much intimidated doing that scene with John because, a lot of the scenes in the film where I'm acting at least, I'm not really an actor. The other people in it are, but this was just me and John on either side of a cigarette machine. Luckily, I got through it. John Turturro is a beast."

Chance the Rapper (4/16/1993, Aries Rooster), Kirsten Corley (5/31/1993, Gemini Rooster) : The couple first met as children in 2003 and began dating in 2013. After breaking up and becoming involved in legal disputes during 2016-2017, they reconciled and married in 2019. They have two daughters together. In 2018, Chance posted: "From the beginning beginning to the end end. You are my oldest and best friend. You are responsible for everyone of the most wonderful things in my life. I’m forever grateful that God made me find you, and even more grateful that you made me find God. Forever and ever babe. Happy Birthday."

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie (9/21/1981, Virgo Rooster), Paris Hilton (2/17/1981, Aquarius Rooster) : The two media personalities and childhood friends starred memorably together in the reality series The Simple Life (2003-2007), playing wealthy socialites doing menial jobs. The show was cancelled by Fox after two seasons (before being picked up by E!), due to feuding between Ritchie and Hilton. The pair have since reconciled. Using a refrain the pair used often on TV together, Hilton said during her 2021 wedding:"I’m so happy to have Nicole here with me on my big day. We’ve been friends since we were 2 years old. I love her so much and it just means so much to me that she’s here. Sanasa Sanasa!"

Pete Davidson (11/16/1993, Scorpio Rooster), Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster) : The singer and comedian shared a high-profile engagement in 2018. Grande described in 2019: "My friends were like, 'Come! We're gonna have a fun summer.' And then I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction. It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn't know him. I'm like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist. I still don't trust myself with the life stuff."

Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster), Beyoncé (9/4/1981, Virgo Rooster) : The two musicians and businesspeople are one of the most famous couples in the world. They began dating around 2002, married in 2008, and have three children. Their combined wealth is estimated at around two billion dollars. They have publicly acknowledged facing marital challenges, including in Beyoncé's album Lemonade and Jay-Z's 4.44. Jay-Z said in 2017, "[W]e were using our art almost like a therapy session." In 2018, Beyoncé posted to Instagram: "At 36, I became a new mother of 3. I breastfed twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of ten years. I came back home to the stage to do Coachella, after pregnancy. Then my husband and I released our album together, Everything Is Love. And we’ve been touring with our family around the world, and loving it. This year has been monumental for me. I thank God for everyone in my life."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

These two are rarely happier than when working together hand-in-glove, sharing their instinctual warmth, encouragement, and stability.
