As rewarding an energy match as there is written in the stars.
The element of Earth emphasises physicality, practicality, and solidity. Taurus and Virgo share in their hearts a longing for stability, material security and comfort. To outsiders, these two can sometimes seem a bit like stick-in-the-muds—Taurean stubbornness is legendary, just as Virgos are regularly accused of lacking flexibility. But to each other, their respective outlooks make perfect sense. Both possess an innate appreciation for hard work and reliability. And both believe instinctively that the greatest achievements are those that are built slowly and steadily on the physical plane. They much prefer to see the tangible results of years-long labor and time, rather than anything they might consider a flash-in-the-pan.
It is the influence of their respective modalities, however, that really triggers the chemistry here. Symbolically, theFixed energy of Taurus forms a natural progression into the Mutable energy of Virgo—Taurus is driven to actualize projects in the here and now, Virgo to strategize for promotion and future development. Hence Virgo tends to be deeply admiring and appreciative of Taurus' physical prowess and aesthetic values. Taurus, on the other hand, is drawn to Virgo's sophisticated organizational skills, eye for detail, and dedication to defining and achieving goals. In the result, this can be a profoundly nurturing combination, both in relation to each other and those around them.
A bedrock of many families, this combination can be just as successful in any context calling for exemplary teamwork, dedication and commitment.

Jerry Seinfeld (4/29/1954, Taurus Horse), Jessica Seinfeld (9/12/1971, Virgo Pig) : After a somewhat unconventional beginning to their relationship, the Seinfelds have been married for over 20 years and have three children together. Jerry Seinfeld has described Jessica's best attribute as: "Very funny. Very funny. From the day I met her, that was really our connection. We always have fun and we laugh and she’s got a great sense of humor. She’s very quick and sarcastic and all the qualities that I like. She’s very sharp. She catches all the wrongness."
Dwayne Johnson (5/2/1972, Taurus Rat), Lauren Hashian (9/8/1984, Virgo Rat) : The actor and singer have been a couple since 2007 and married in 2019. They have two children together. In 2015, Johnson said, "We do these stories and we talk so much about the business end, the success end, but then Lauren isn’t mentioned and my daughter isn’t mentioned. I always like making sure we find the balance and my home life is in there and Lauren Hashian is in there and my daughter is in there."
Cindy McCain (5/20/1954, Taurus Horse), John McCain (8/29/1936, Virgo Rat) : The politician and diplomat/businesswoman were married from 1980 until his death in 2018, and had seven children. Cindy McCain described: "It had its moments where it was stressful, and it had its moments where it was a hell of a lot of fun. As I look back on it, it was a lot more fun than it was heartache by any stretch. In any marriage, especially a political marriage, I think humor is a great equalizer. And that's how we were...John was a very funny guy and then, as it turned out, I found out I was kind of funny, too."
Barbra Streisand (4/24/1942, Taurus Horse), Elliott Gould (8/29/1938, Virgo Tiger) : The singer and actor were one of the most famous couples of the 1960s until their divorce in 1971. Gould recounted in 2020, "Barbra asked me at one point...'Why did we grow apart?'...And I said my question would be, 'How could we have grown apart?' And the answer to that is that we didn’t grow together and the reason for that was because she became more important than us...Then I also said to her, 'We did great. We made it very fast and nobody has what we have. There’s you and me and our kid."
Tina Fey (5/18/1970, Taurus Dog), Amy Poehler (9/16/1971, Virgo Pig) : The two comedians/actors have been close friends and colleagues for 30 years. Their memorable collaborations have included four memorable turns co-hosting the Golden Globe awards together. Speaking in 2012, Poehler said: "Sometimes Tina is like a very talented bungee-jumping expert. All it takes is Tina to softly say, 'We can do this, right?' and I suddenly feel like I can jump off a bridge."
Don Rickles (5/8/1926, Taurus Tiger), Bob Newhart (9/5/1929, Virgo Snake) : The two legendary comedians were close friends. Rickles explained: "We're apples and oranges. I'm a Jew, he's a Catholic. He's low-key, I'm a yeller. But we share the same values, marriage, children and grandchildren. We've traveled all over the world together with our wives, and in all that time we've never had a serious argument. So many things happen, there's so much sadness. But we can laugh together."

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 (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 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.

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."
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."
