Taurus and Taurus

Compatibility overview

Expect solidarity, strong creative affinities, and a proud lack of maturity in this meeting of kindred spirits. Mirror matches always involve an element of overfamiliarity, and two Taurus souls may at times find each other overly competitive, headstrong, or uncommitted to the connection between them. They share a powerful bedrock of common values, however, which can be conducive to an impactful—not to mention immensely entertaining—relationship.

Western own-sign combinations naturally share a common element, which for two Taureans is the steadying, usually rock-solid influence of Earth. The emphasis here is on dependability, predictability, and hard work. These two will instinctively shy away from anything that seems like a flash-in-the-pan. They much prefer long-term security and hard-won gains over long-shots or chasing fool's gold. Thus when two Taurus souls get together, they usually put each other at ease quickly. Humor is especially favored here, as the energy of Taurus is eternally young at heart—irreverent banter, playfulness, and innuendo are likely to bring them frequent and intense joy together. Not that they will be shying away from exertion while they amuse each other. Taurus is one of the most physical signs under the Sun, and all kinds of physical labor, sport, and sex tend to fascinate and inspire them. At work or play, these two will probably form an impressive, and frequently hilarious, team. This relationship can provide ample food for the soul, as well. Taurus can be deceptively emotional in their outlook, their often loud and apparently quite juvenile outward persona masking an artist's sensitivity and aestheticism. Two Taureans can offer each other much-needed reassurance and security, giving each other space and confidence to expose their more sensitive sides.

It will be necessary for these two to navigate occasionally destabilizing tensions. Own-sign matches cannot help but have too much in common, and a dearth of balancing differences. Taurus can be quite a brooding, recalcitrant sign, and here this obstinacy and distraction on both sides can lead to a lack of sympathy and understanding. The ever-youthful charm of Taurus may sometimes seem to cancel itself out in this pairing, leaving both parties with a sense that they have more to offer in other quarters. These two share a hugely productive but equally inflexible Fixed modality—they may move mountains when things are good, but in bad times their unwillingness to back down could leave them alternately furious and exhausted.

Grudges are unlikely to last long in this context, however, for ultimately these two are natural comrades. Provided they can find space to flex and grow independently as well as together, the substantial benefits of this relationship may yield lifelong pleasure, reliability, and inspiration.

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox

Machine Gun Kelly (4/22/1990, Taurus Horse), Megan Fox (5/16/1986, Taurus Tiger) : Actor Fox and musician/actor Kelly have shared a high-profile and characteristically intense romantic relationship since 2020. They have collaborated on the films, Midnight in the Switchgrass (2021), Good Mourning (2022), and Taurus (2022). Describing Taurus, Kelly said, "This movie is really close to me. It's about the last week that a musician is alive and he's ... trying to find the good in himself. That's kinda how I feel a lot of the time." Fox said in their first joint interview in 2020: "I knew right away that [Kelly] was what I call a twin flame. Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So we're actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away."

Barbra Streisand (4/24/1942, Taurus Horse), Andre Agassi (4/29/1970, Taurus Dog) : Celebrated singer/actor/director Streisand and multiple grand-slam-winning tennis player Agassi caused a stir when they dated around 1992-1993. Agassi described in his book, Open (2009): "More often than not, Barbra and I laugh at the shock and scandal our dates cause. We agree that we’re good for each other, and so what if she’s twenty-eight years older? We’re simpatico, and the public outcry only adds spice to our connection. It makes our friendship feel forbidden, taboo—another piece of my overall rebellion. Dating Barbra Streisand is like wearing Hot Lava."

Keith Haring and Grace Jones

Grace Jones (5/19/1948, Taurus Rat), Keith Haring (5/4/1958, Taurus Dog) : Musician/model/actor Jones and artist Haring shared an iconic collaboration in the 1980s, with Haring painting Jones' body for music videos and films. Their work together included the music video, "I'm Not Perfect (But I’m Perfect For You)" (1986), and the film, Vamp (1986). Their collaborations have been described as, "[E]xploit[ing] the tensions and preconceptions spectators carry regarding race and gender. Jones’s fierce stage presence destabilizes historical relations of power enacted through male/female, black/white interaction, while her commanding voice leads the viewer through a symbolic negotiation."

Harvey Keitel (5/13/1939, Taurus Rabbit), Jane Campion (4/30/1954, Taurus Horse) : Director/screenwriter Campion and actor Keitel share a mutually respectful friendship. They collaborated on the acclaimed film, The Piano (1993), written and directed by Campion, and later on Holy Smoke! (1999). Speaking about The Piano, Keitel described: "'The Piano' exists on many levels. It's a complex text. One of the levels most apparent to me is that Jane has done what I have often seen men do — i.e., a woman gathering herself up, taking responsibility for herself and her sexual needs and her spiritual needs, and taking action to fulfill herself. That has usually been the domain of the man. Jane has gained access to that domain. It's a man's world. I see it that way. And it's to our detriment that it is so. Jane has struck out in a way that has helped me to come closer to an understanding of myself and woman."

Toby Stephens and Anna-Louise Plowman

Toby Stephens (4/21/1969, Taurus Rooster), Anna-Louise Plowman (5/9/1972, Taurus Rat) : The two actors have been married since 2001, and have three children. They have collaborated multiple times, including in the TV series, Black Sails (2014-2017), and a stage production of the Noël Coward play, Private Lives. Describing their stage work in a joint interview, Stephens said, "It’s been great. Even though you’re together, with kids you actually rarely talk to one another because everything fits around the children, so it’s actually very nice having time together. I suppose there was the slight anxiety between the two of us that it might be difficult, but it hasn’t been at all." Plowman added, "I think it’s partly because of the people we are; Toby and I are not jealous or competitive of one another’s careers. That would be ridiculous."

Robert Fripp and Brian Eno

Brian Eno (5/15/1948, Taurus Rat), Robert Fripp (5/16/1946, Taurus Dog) : The two legendary musicians—Fripp from the band King Crimson, and Eno from Roxy Music—formed an experimental duo that Rolling Stone ranked 17th on their list of the best duos of all time. Often using the recording technique known as "Frippertronics", they recorded four studio albums: (No Pussyfooting) (1973), Evening Star (1975), The Equatorial Stars (2004), and Beyond Even (1992–2006) (2007). Fripp described in 1988: "I very much enjoyed working with Eno, of course, but it wasn't a question of deliberately making an instrumental record. It was: 'Come home for dinner.' 'Alright Brian, what time?' 'I don't know, some time.' Then turning up and, for no reason I know, taking my guitar and pedalboard and so forth. Eno saying: 'Would you like to plug in and see what you think?' Three days later I heard it and said: 'didn't think much of that!' That became Side One of No Pussyfootin'...For the very first concert in Madrid, we decided what we were going to do five minutes before we went on. And that was the beginning of the Fripp and Eno tour. It was a lot of fun. Two lads having fun, both with a good sense of humour."

Dog and Pig

Compatibility overview

Among the four Trine Families of the Chinese zodiac (like the elements in Western astrology), there are two generally compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the Dog family (with the Tiger and Horse) and the Pig family (with the Rabbit and Sheep). Thus, while the combination of Dog and Pig is not usually singled out as a stellar match, good fortune nevertheless swirls around these two loving, tireless characters.

What usually draws the Dog and Pig together is a bedrock of shared values. Both of these signs are capable of relentless hard work and dedication. The Dog might perhaps be more consistently reliable, but the Pig makes up for any occasional waywardness with incredible determination once they get into gear. The Pig's trusting, generous nature is the stuff of legend, so there is a natural affinity with the Dog's instinctive support of underdog people and causes.

These two will need to look out for sometimes surprising breakdowns in communication. The Pig may find the Dog's anxiety confusing and either respond with insensitivity or remain naively unaware. The Dog may sense that they are not wholly accepted in the relationship and sometimes adopt a secretive or distant attitude. Perhaps for these reasons, this is a relationship that functions especially well in professional settings, or in more intimate relationships that involve plenty of collaborative work.

Make no mistake, though, there is an abundance of respect and tenderness here. It is no surprise that Dog/Pig relationships from business partnerships to marriages exert a powerful influence that frequently lasts a lifetime and beyond.

Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola

Kirsten Dunst (4/30/1982, Taurus Dog), Sofia Coppola (5/14/1971, Taurus Pig) : The director and actor have are close friends who have collaborated multiple times, including the films The Virgin Suicides (1999), Marie Antoinette (2006), and The Beguiled (2017). In an interview with Coppola, Dunst described: "But [it was impactful] to have worked with you on a film [The Virgin Suicides] that was really a blossoming kind of movie for me. You don’t make your actors feel inhibited or wrong ever. You’re good at guiding and expressing what you want with an example, rather than, do this or do that. Not everyone knows how to do that. I think that’s an art in itself." Coppola responded: "I know exactly what you mean. I always want to give the space for everyone to be comfortable to find it themselves. But I feel like you and I don’t have to talk. There’s just a shorthand."

Veronica St Clair (4/6/1994, Aries Dog), Dove Cameron (1/15/1996, Capricorn Pig) : The actor and singer/actor share a close and intimate bond, evidenced by birthday posts they have shared via Instagram. In 2020, St Clair posted: "Happy Birthday, my Chlo!!! [Cameron's real name is Chloe Celeste Hosterman] To me you are moonlight swims; Parisian sunrises; tears of joy; giant spoonfuls of tapioca pudding; and laughing very hard, very often, and sometimes during very inappropriate moments (hehehe). I love you." In April 2021, Cameron posted: "Veronica, you are my most cherished. You are the highest example of what a human being can hope to be. you are my world. I can’t believe it’s you. I am so lucky, as is the [expletive] world. Happy birthday, Baby. See you so soon."

Bill and Hillary Clinton

Bill Clinton (8/19/1946, Leo Dog), Hillary Rodham Clinton (10/26/1947, Scorpio Pig) : The former President and First Lady of the United States are one of the most famous married couples in the world. Hillary Clinton said in 2020: "I’ve always loved Bill, and I always knew he loved me. I’ve always believed in our marriage, our relationship, the parenting of our daughter and our shared life."

Alec Baldwin (4/3/1958, Aries Dog), Hilaria Baldwin (1/6/1984, Capricorn Pig) : The actor and yoga instructor/entrepreneur married in 2012 and have since had six children together. Speaking of their courtship, Baldwin has described: "While she was in no hurry, she was very mature and clear about what she wanted — to be married someday."

Brian May and Freddie Mercury

Freddie Mercury (9/5/1946, Virgo Dog), Brian May (7/19/1947, Cancer Pig) : The singer and guitarist were founding members of the band Queen, and worked together for over 20 years until Mercury's death in 1991. May has described: "Freddie wasn’t greedy for power. People have this image of him as a diva who insisted on getting his own way, but he was the mediator, the guy who could make sense out of opposite ends of arguments. He was very good at focusing on the important issues."

Will Arnett (5/4/1970, Taurus Dog), Amy Poehler (9/16/1971, Virgo Pig) : The two actor/comedians were married from 2003 to 2016 and had two children together. Speaking in 2022, Arnett said, "It’s been almost 10 years and my kids are so lucky that Amy is their mother and I’m so lucky that we’re such a huge part of each other’s lives, even more so than we were five years ago."

Sonny Bono and Cher

Cher (5/20/1946, Taurus Dog), Sonny Bono (2/16/1935, Aquarius Pig) : The singer/actor and singer/politician were married from 1964 to 1975 and comprised the world-famous pop music duo, Sonny & Cher. Cher explained in 2017, "I was this massive amount of energy with no direction...I knew what I wanted to do, but I never would've gotten there without Sonny."

Fat Joe (8/19/1970, Leo Dog), Big Pun (11/10/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The two rappers formed a lifelong supportive and collaborative friendship after Fat Joe discovered Big Pun in the mid-90s. In 2022, on the 22nd anniversary of Big Pun's death, Fat Joe posted: "22 years later we still celebrate your greatness. My brother we miss you not a day goes by when we don’t think about or tell stories about you. The world got robbed of an incredible beautiful person 22 years ago was the worst day of my life. We try to hold it down for you as best as we can i know I’ll see you again."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The own-sign match of firstwest and secondwest gives this relationship the blessing of a common outlook, albeit that overfamiliarity may lead to a lack of excitement from time to time. With the Chinese zodiac match of firsteast and secondeast contributing admiration and harmony from kindred Trine families, this is a reliable and nourishing combination in any context.
