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."

The Horse and Tiger pairing is a truly wonderful energy match, attracting both inspirational and profoundly stabilising energy in the Chinese zodiac.
The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families. One of these families includes the Horse and Tiger (with their kindred spirit, the Dog). This family is bound together by spirited, righteous energy. They are driven to succeed, and willing to make all kinds of sacrifices to achieve their goals, yet they also aspire to noble values of egalitarianism and service to others. Early contacts between the Horse and Tiger thus often represent a true meeting of minds. Horse natives are rarely shy about putting their prodigious talents on show—their pioneering brand of razzle-dazzle will likely captivate the Tiger from first sight. Even quieter Tiger souls have a commanding presence, and their noble pronouncements tend to immediately impress and attract the freewheeling Horse.
As these two get to know each other better, the real magic can potentially take hold. The Horse and Tiger are each defined by an essential inner contradiction. They are dyed-in-the-wool independents, reluctant to defer to anyone else's vision or authority, yet they also feel forever incomplete without a trusted partner or inner circle. The great compatibility between the Horse and Tiger means that somehow their respective needs for autonomy bring them together instead of wedging them apart. These two can comfortably spend time at a distance, or intensely challenge or confront one another, and the connection between them will only grow stronger as a result. Indeed, as is typical for Trine Family matches like this one, it is the evergreen nature of this combination that sometimes represents its greatest risk. For this kind of precious connection can sometimes seem too natural, too effortless, to be worthy of total commitment.
If the Horse and Tiger trust and invest in the power of their shared energy, then whatever the context, their relationship can be a once-in-a-lifetime source of belonging, adventure, and potency.

François-Henri Pinault (5/28/1962, Gemini Tiger), Salma Hayek (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : The actor and business entrepreneur had a daughter together in 2007 and have been married since 2009. In 2021, Hayek was quoted as saying, "When there is conflict, we put all the energy in solving the problem - never finding who to blame or 'You should have done this or that.' No, all our energy goes into: 'How do we solve this?'"
Pauletta Washington (9/28/1950, Libra Tiger), Denzel Washington (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse) : Married since 1983, the Washingtons have four children together. Denzel Washington has described: "The difference between a house and a home, it’s a big difference. You can buy a house, but that doesn’t make it a home—and not to say a man can’t make a home a home, but my wife has made our house a home, and raised these beautiful kids, and protected them and sacrificed for them. She did the heavy lifting."
Christine Baumgartner (3/4/1974, Pisces Tiger), Kevin Costner (1/18/1955, Capricorn Horse) : The actor and model/designer were together from around 2000 until Baumgartner surprised many by filing for divorce in 2023. They married in 2004 and have three children. Costner said in 2018, "Fear kept me from marrying Christine. I woke up and thought, Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child? That’s all it took. Sometimes you learn the thing you’re most afraid of will save your life."
Rande Gerber (4/27/1962, Taurus Tiger), Cindy Crawford (2/20/1966, Pisces Horse) : The supermodel and business entrepreneur have been married since 1998 and have two children together. Gerber has said about the relationship, "We started as friends and we remained friends. You have to just keep that friendship and fun in the relationship."
Robert Pattinson (5/13/1986, Taurus Tiger), Kristen Stewart (4/9/1990, Aries Horse) : The two actors became household names as stars of the Twilight film series. They dated between around 2009 to 2013, and for a time were one of the most famous celebrity couples in the world. Stewart continues to speak positively about Pattinson and their relationship. She has described: "When me and Rob were together, we did not have an example to go by. So much was taken from us that, in trying to control one aspect, we were just like, 'No, we will never talk about it. Never. Because it’s ours.'"
Jackie Sandler(9/24/1974, Libra Tiger), Adam Sandler (9/9/1966, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been married since 2003 and have two daughters together. About his critically-acclaimed performance in the film Uncut Gems (2019), Adam Sandler said: "My badass wife, she gave me the balls to take the part. I was scared and she said, 'Go [expletive] do that and you can do that [expletive]' and we rehearsed together all the time."
Stevie Wonder (5/13/1950, Taurus Tiger), Aretha Franklin (3/25/1942, Aries Horse) : The two celebrated musicians shared a longtime close friendship. After Franklin died in 2018, Wonder described visiting during her final days: "[Franklin] wasn't able to speak back, but her family felt that she could hear me, and so I just said all the things that I've always said and told her to say hello to my sister [Renee Hardaway] that I lost this year as well...She was just consistently a great human being, and she always — even with whatever turmoil may have been happening in her life, even through her illness — she did not put that on anybody else. She believed, I think that most of all she was doing God's work, and she was. She brought joy to others' lives, and she will — her voice and the essence of her will long [out]live all of us that are here right now."
Kirstie Alley (1/12/1951, Capricorn Tiger), John Travolta (2/18/1954, Aquarius Horse) : The two actors starred memorably in the Look Who's Talking films and formed a close friendship. Alley described later: "I almost ran off and married John. I did love him, I still love him. If I hadn’t been married I would’ve gone and married him and I would’ve been in an airplane because he has his own plane…He's a very generous person. He's very interested. If you ever talk to John, and this is genuine with him, you will become the most interesting thing that he's ever met in his life."
