A Trine match, four steps apart on the zodiac wheel, the pairing of Capricorn and Taurus is one of the most desirable combinations in Western astrology.
These two share the element of Earth, so they both prize qualities of physicality, practicality, and stability. For these signs, worthwhile goals result from patient dedication and diligence, rather than anything too flashy or lacking substance. Early communications will likely highlight this bedrock of common values. They will sense they are both moving in the same direction and could benefit from travelling together. Capricorns may be one of the most varied of all the signs, but they are almost always intent on and gifted at rising up through the ranks and wielding power. The physical prowess, patience, and methodical nature of the Taurus soul thus makes them an immediately attractive ally. Taurus, on the other hand, is never happier than when they have a well-thought-out project or mission to which they can apply their determination and physical and mental strength. Hence the grounded yet visionary outlook of Capricorn provides Taurus with inspiration and reassurance in equal measure.
The modalities here—the initiating energy of the Cardinal sign Capricorn and the more production-focused, Fixed energy of Taurus—form a natural sequence from inception to realisation. Hence, as this relationship progresses, extraordinarily ambitious goals can conceptualized and accomplished, through an enviable blend of foresight, management, and perseverance. There is no shortage of emotional support, either. Taurus natives are sometimes guilty of selfishness or procrastination, which the ambitious Capricorn is able to out-manoeuvre with subtlety and a clear sense of direction. Capricorn, meanwhile, can be weighed down by their own expectations, making them dour or morose at times. Taurus' infectious love of physical pleasures can provide an invaluable spirit-lifting influence.
All in all, this is a blessing of a match, as propitious as any in the Western zodiac.

Al Pacino (4/25/1940, Taurus Dragon), Diane Keaton (1/5/1946, Capricorn Rooster) : The actors played an iconic couple in The Godfather, and for a time were together in real life. Keaton has said, "For me, the Godfathers, all three of them, were about one thing — Al. It was as simple as that." On another occasion, she described: "I was mad for him. Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker. There was an aspect of him that was like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant. And oh, gorgeous!" In a speech to celebrate Keaton's AFI Lifetime Achievement award in 2017, Pacino concluded by saying, "I love you forever."
Richard E Grant (5/5/1957, Taurus Rooster), Olivia Grant (1/4/1989, Capricorn Dragon) : The actor and his casting director daughter have an enduringly close relationship. Richard E. Grant took Olivia (nicknamed "Oilly") to the Oscars when he was nominated in 2019, and has described how they speak on the phone "at least once a day. As a teenager she identified that she and I have twin brains."
Tina Fey (5/18/1970, Taurus Dog), Jeff Richmond (1/7/1961, Capricorn Rat) : The comedian/actor and composer dated for seven years before marrying in 2001. Asked about the relationship in 2021, Richmond spoke about the scar on Fey's face, sustained in an attack when she was five. "That scar was fascinating to me. This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life. When you have that kind of thing happen to you, that makes you scared of certain things, that makes you frightened of different things, your comedy comes out in a different kind of way, and it also makes you feel for people."
Carol Burnett (4/26/1933, Taurus Rooster), Joe Hamilton (1/6/1929, Capricorn Dragon) : The actor/comedian and TV producer were married for over twenty years and had three children together. As well as being her husband, Hamilton has been described as a mentor and champion of Burnett's over many years, including when they collaborated as star and producer of The Carol Burnett Show between 1967 and 1978.
Coretta Scott King (4/27/1927, Taurus Rabbit), Martin Luther King, Jr. (1/15/1929, Capricorn Dragon) : The venerated minister/activist and author/activist were married from 1953 until Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968. They had four children together. Corretta Scott King has been quoted as saying: "I came to the realization that we had been thrust into the forefront of a movement to liberate oppressed people, and this movement had worldwide implications. I felt blessed to have been called to be a part of such a noble and historic cause."
Rami Malek (5/12/1981, Taurus Rooster), Lucy Boynton (1/17/1994, Capricorn Rooster) : The two actors have been reputedly dating since around 2017. In accepting the Oscar for best actor in 2019 (for Bohemian Rhapsody), Malek said, "Lucy Boynton, you are the heart of this film, you are beyond immensely talented, you have captured my heart."
David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog), Brian Eno (5/15/1948, Taurus Rat) : The two musicians collaborated multiple times, including co-writing multiple tracks on Bowie's celebrated ""Berlin Trilogy"" of albums in the late 1970s. Eno described: "We knew each other for over 40 years, in a friendship that was always tinged by echoes of [British comedy duo] Pete and Dud. Over the last few years – with him living in New York and me in London – our connection was by email. We signed off with invented names: some of his were Mr. Showbiz, Milton Keynes, Rhoda Borrocks and the Duke of Ear...I received an email from him 7 days [before his death]. It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: 'Thank you for our good times, Brian. They will never rot,' and it was signed, 'Dawn.' I realize now he was saying goodbye."

Among the four Trine Families of signs that make up the Chinese zodiac (akin to the elements in Western astrology) are two pairs of kindred families, who generally share beneficial positive energy between them. For each sign, one member of their kindred family stands out as a unique Soulmate connection, an energy match often seen as the most precious of all. For the dashing Rooster (whose family includes the Snake and Ox), their Soulmate is the splendorous Dragon (who belongs to the same family as the Monkey and Rat).
These are two powerhouse signs, both apt in their own ways to disturb less exuberant souls with their forceful dynamism and take-no-prisoners attitude to social interaction and self-promotion. The Rooster is likely to gravitate instinctively to the dramatic, show-stopping abilities of the Dragon. The Dragon, on the other hand, will admire the Rooster's sixth sense for social currency and fashion, as well as their powerful ambition and work ethic. In the right circumstances, the prospects for mutual advancement and pleasure here are just about limitless. The relationship will tend to enhance and amplify the individual gifts of these signs, making for a duo that is as visually spectacular as it is powerfully motivated and endlessly enterprising.
These two will need plenty of room to expand together, of course. Soulmate matches can be demanding as well as harmonious. If the relationship is cramped by other allegiances, the parties may suffer the cruel disappointment of what might have been. Conversely, a bond as effortless and strong as this one can make third parties feel excluded or eclipsed.
All in all, though, if the Dragon and Rooster can carve out the space and time they need for each other, their match is a once-in-a-lifetime combination, capable of infinite rewards and a lasting legacy.

Rashida Jones (2/25/1976, Pisces Dragon), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The actor/film-maker made the acclaimed documentary Quincy about her father, the legendary music producer. Speaking about footage showing Quincy recovering in hospital, Rashida explained: "I am so protective of my dad, and obviously, that’s a very intimate story to tell. My brother shot some of that stuff in the hospital, and then I shot some. Really, we did it for him, because we wanted him to be able to see where he was so that he wouldn’t forget and he would take care of himself."
Rosie Perez (9/6/1964, Virgo Dragon), Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and director first met in the late 1980s when Lee cast Perez in the film Do the Right Thing. Celebrating the anniversary of the film Perez told a crowd of fans, "30 years ago, I met this man and he changed my life. And we need men like him in Hollywood. And we are doing it and we are going to take over, baby. And it takes a man like Spike Lee to help push those doors down. And I appreciate that. I am getting emotional because he literally changed my life. And I thank you."
Benedict Cumberbatch (7/19/1976, Cancer Dragon), Tom Hiddleston (2/9/1981, Aquarius Rooster) : The actors have been friends for over ten years. Commenting on his experience working with and observing Cumberbatch, Hiddleston described: "Over the ten or so years I’ve known him what stands out is his limitless curiosity. He’s keenly aware that life is short and precious, and his range comes from the depth of his internal world."
Melia McEnery (2/1/1976, Aquarius Dragon), Eric Clapton (3/30/1945, Aries Rooster) : The legendary musician and philanthropist have been married for 18 years and have three children together. Clapton has described how before he met McEnery he suffered from addiction and used relationships with women as a form of escapism. Speaking about their meeting, Clapton said: "There was something about her... strength. She occupied her space with absolute authority. It was clear that even though she was half my age she was capable of being an adequate partner for anybody."
John Lennon (10/9/1940, Libra Dragon), Yoko Ono (2/18/1933, Aquarius Rooster) : The famous musicians and artists were committed peace activists who married in 1969. Their intense bond has attracted controversy with many attributing the break up of the Beatles in part to their relationship. Less than three months before his murder in December 1980, Lennon described his connection with Ono in an interview: "It is a teacher-pupil relationship. That's what people don't understand. She's the teacher and I'm the pupil. I'm the famous one, the one who's supposed to know everything, but she's my teacher. She's taught me everything I [expletive] know."
Neneh Cherry (3/10/1964, Pisces Dragon), Cameron McVey (3/11/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The musicians are long term collaborators and partners of over 30 years. Commenting on their evolving relationship, Cherry has explained: "I still feel like there’s more to it. I know that we’re not done and that’s really interesting. We’re still getting to know each other but he definitely knows my digits, you know what I mean? I think it’s a treasure to have relationships for life."
Gwen Stefani (10/03/1969, Libra Rooster), Blake Shelton (06/18/1976, Gemini Dragon) : The two singers married in 2021. They had both been involved in high-profile marriages to fellow musicians—Stefani to Gavin Rossdale, and Shelton to Miranda Lambert—when they worked together as coaches on The Voice during 2015, and began dating. They have since collaborated on multiple occasions, including the songs, "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" (2016), "You Make It Feel Like Christmas" (2017), "Nobody But You" (2020), and "Happy Anywhere" (2020). Shortly before their marriage, Stefani described: "I think there was a lot to consider when you have so many people involved. Children, and their hearts, and everybody in my family [and] his family, we all went through a lot together. So I think in a romantic way, when you fall in love so hard and so unexpectedly — and so late in your life — you think 'I want to marry you!' That's the first romantic reaction, like, 'Let's get married.' So we always talked about it, of course, and I think that as the years were going by, it didn't need to happen. There was a lot of healing to do."
Sandra Bullock (7/26/1964, Leo Dragon), Matthew McConaughey (11/4/1969, Scorpio Rooster) : The two actors dated after meeting on a movie set in 1996 and have remained close friends. Describing their relationship, Bullock has commented, "There's a great amount of respect and love. I feel very cared for by Matthew. No matter where he is in his life or where I am in mine—he could be married—I know we would stay close."
