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 (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 (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 (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."

Jodie Foster (11/19/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Alexandra Hedison (7/10/1969, Cancer Rooster) : The actor and photographer have been married since 2014. Though the couple are famously private, after Foster was nominated for a Golden Globe for The Mauritanian (2021), Hedison posted a photo with the caption: "What happens in quarantine stays in quarantine. Every day I'm a proud wife but today you get a special shout out in the remote land of [Instagram]...I'll have to show you my phone for you to see this but still...I'm shouting from the rooftops."

Rebecca Miller (9/15/1962, Virgo Tiger), Daniel Day-Lewis (4/29/1957, Taurus Rooster) : The actor and filmmaker/novelist have been married since 1996 and have two children. Though they have rarely discussed their relationship publicly, Miller mentioned in a 2018 interview that she had refused to allow the famously method-acting Day-Lewis to stay in character at home: "I was just like, 'That’s not going to happen.' It’s good to at least maintain one personality for your child." She also referred to a recent trip to their home in Ireland: "[W]e went and got hot whiskeys in a pub in Ireland. And we walked up a mountain and then we got our hot whiskeys and then we got our scones with cream. That’s the kind of thing of just simplicity and fun."

Miles Davis (5/26/1926, Gemini Tiger), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The jazz icon and music producer were longtime friends who collaborated on Davis' final live performance, later released as Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux (1993). The concert marked the first and only time Davis ever revisited music from his back catalogue. Jones described: "I had been trying for 15 years to get him to do that. I've known Miles all my life, we were close friends; I was there in the recording session in 1958 when they did Miles Ahead (1958) with Gil Evans conducting—it was amazing. I said, 'Dewey, this one we've got to do a tribute to.' We kept talking and talking, we were at his home in Central Park West—he was upstairs with Flavor Flav putting an album together—he says 'man this [project] is going to be expensive... and it's hard to play.' Finally, I got him to say yes—I know Miles—and it was fantastic. Man, he played very softly, with no vibrato or anything. That night, I waved and said 'Miles Davis' [to the crowd] and he waved his towel at this audience—I've never seen him do that before—and he growled 'screw you' at me."

Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger), David Lynch (1/20/1946, Aquarius Rooster) : The producer and director formed a famously unlikely partnership when they collaborated to make Lynch's script into the award-winning film, The Elephant Man (1980). Speaking about an early meeting, Brooks described: "I wasn't expecting [Lynch] to be so polite, but I was rather impressed. He made sense and was very savvy about the changes he wanted. It was a problem: how does a guy who is known for the best fart jokes in cinema go on to make The Elephant Man? I had all along the line assiduously kept my name from the project. But after this one conversation, David knew I had more to me. I guess it was the outsider aspect that appealed to him. And that's where I think we met, mentally." Lynch said later: "[Brooks] backed me in ways you can’t imagine — people wanted to change this, do this, give me all kinds of hell — never would Mel let it happen...It put me on the map, it was a great experience…it was just a blessing!"

Queen Elizabeth II (4/21/1926, Taurus Tiger), Prince Philip (6/10/1921, Gemini Rooster) : The Queen and Prince Philip were married for 73 years until his death in 2021. According to a report in The Guardian, published when their engagement was announced in 1947: "It is clearly a marriage of choice, not of arrangement...There have been many royal engagements in the past, but it would be hard to find a precise parallel for that of an Heiress Presumptive and still more for her choice as partner of one who is, technically at least, a British commoner."

Marilyn Monroe (6/1/1926, Gemini Tiger), Yves Montand (10/13/1921, Libra Rooster) : The two actors had a well-publicized affair during the making of one of Monroe's last films, Let's Make Love (1960). Montand later described: "[Marilyn] had an immense character, an extremely strong nature—even though, in life as on the screen, she had that little girl voice. The fascination she exercised and her seductive power were present almost without her knowing it...She had no need to check the seam of her stocking to give you ideas: when she talked about the rain or the fine weather or the cafeteria menu, she had the same power...Marilyn was a being apart, in the sense that it was her own inner light that drove her into the spotlight. If you believed in God you’d say that God alone could generate such a light—a light beyond the control of those it burns in."
