Taurus and Pisces
Compatibility overview
The usually calm and delightful energy between firstwest and secondwest may prove to be one of the true unsung heroes of Western astrology. These two may lack some intensity, meaning other relationships are prioritized or demand more attention. But there is a beautifully any-kind-of-weather reliability to this connection, which can provide great joy in high times, and solace in times of need.

The interval of two signs between Pisces and Taurus forms a Sextile connection. This energy is famously relaxed and trustworthy—even lengthy breaks in communication can be mended almost in an instant. Freedom is the watchword here, as these two signs tend to admire each other's truest self, and thus instinctively give each other plenty of room to move.
Pisces' dreamy nature means they can be unpredictable or unreliable from time to time, so they are naturally drawn to Taurus' famous solidity and determination. Taurus, meanwhile, may be guilty of neglecting their soulful, creative side, which Pisces has a rare gift for bringing out into the open. The atmosphere between these two rarely involves criticism or negative judgment, and is rather characterized by openness, acceptance, and humor. There is also a rock-solid dependability to this gentle positivity, as the respective elements—Earth for Taurus, Water for Pisces—are always harmonious, meaning alliances and collaboration can flow with relatively little effort.
The modalities here are equally complementary, with Taurus' practical and achievement-oriented Fixed nature forming a beautiful segue into the more reflective Mutable energy of Pisces, with its concern for consequences and implications. Hence shared projects are not only likely to be enjoyable, but there is every chance they will be seen through to completion, offering both signs great pleasure, fulfillment, and success.
Oftentimes the most serious problem these two encounter is a lack of urgency or precedence. The easygoing nature of the Pisces/Taurus connection means it is sometimes taken for granted or neglected, especially if other demands or duties compete for the signs' attention. After all, the strength of this pairing lies in the compatibility of their differences as much as their similarities, so it is quite likely they will find themselves being pulled in opposite directions, at least from time to time. Fortunately, the underlying reliability here is almost impossible to strain past breaking point, and these two can usually drop back easily into the warm, reassuring atmosphere that typifies their time together.
If they can give each other the time and respect their relationship deserves, this energy can be a wonderful source of tenderness, inspiration, and joy.

Olivia Harrison (5/18/1948, Taurus Rat), George Harrison (2/25/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The musician (founding member of The Beatles) and author/film producer were married from 1978 until George Harrison died in 2001. They had one child. In the documentary film, George Harrison: Living in the Material World (2011), Olivia described: "I thought [George] was really somebody who was saying something that I connected with. He was really a very captivating person… I liked the music, I liked what he was doing. We just seemed like partners from the very beginning...We had our differences. I might have done a different technique than he did, but we both had the same goal, and I think that was really the key to everything in our lives."
J Balvin (5/7/1985, Taurus Ox), Bad Bunny (3/10/1994, Pisces Dog) : Rapper/singer/songwriter/producer Bad Bunny and singer/songwriter/producer J Balvin share a close and collaborative friendship. Highlights of their work together include the chart-topping single, "I Like It" (2018, with Cardi B), and their multi-platinum album as a duo, Oasis (2019). Balvin described in 2019, "We have been working on [Oasis] for a long time, and finally, we found its moment. Working with J Balvin has undoubtedly been an unparalleled experience. I have always admired and respected him a lot and we have had an excellent vibe throughout this whole process. I am proud to say I LOVE Bad Bunny; we always seem to be on the same wavelength, as he likes what I like. He is also all about celebrating our culture while remaining super humble. Working with Benito again has been a musical joy. I am blessed to not only call him my brother but now a partner on an album that has even become a personal Oasis."
Tina Fey (5/18/1970, Taurus Dog), Rachel Dratch (2/22/1966, Pisces Horse) : The two actor/comedian/writer/producers are longtime friends and collaborators. Their work together includes the TV shows, Saturday Night Live (1975-present), and 30 Rock (2006-2013), and the films, Martin & Orloff (2002), Sisters (2015), and Wine Country (2019). Presenting Fey with the PEN/Mike Nichols Writing for Performance Award in 2023, Dratch said, "Tina, I will say this. If I had one wish for you tonight, it would be that you had written this speech I am giving in your honor. It would be far wittier and, let’s face it, your speech would probably be turned into a Broadway play that could then become a movie that could in turn be a musical and then a movie musical and then back into a Broadway play and then into an avant garde performance piece downtown. [It would]…make you laugh out loud, it would include some sort of social satire, probably with a feminist bent that would make you say YES! LADY POWER!! But nothing cringey, you would be belly-laughing and maybe not even realize you had learned something about society along the way."
Sally Hawkins (4/27/1976, Taurus Dragon), Rafe Spall (3/10/1983, Pisces Pig) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have collaborated multiple times, including the film A Brilliant Young Mind [or X+Y] (2014), and a stage production of Constellations (2012). Hawkins described in 2015: "That's when it's as good as it can get, when you're with someone that you love and you really respect as an actor and that you can really trust and just do anything, really. That's what makes a difference when you're watching a film, you notice that and there's a truth to it...[Spall and I know know each other so well] it's like a code, a language...When an audience sees Rafe arrive they know he's going to make them laugh in some way or care about him in some way. That's palpable."
Penélope Cruz (4/28/1974, Taurus Tiger), Javier Bardem (3/1/1969, Pisces Rooster) : The two actors began dating in 2007, and married in 2010. They have two children. They have collaborated multiple times, dating back to Jamón Jamón (1992) when Cruz was 16, including the further films, Live Flesh (1997), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Loving Pablo (2017), The Counselor (2013), and Everybody Knows (2018). Though for the most part they have avoided discussing their relationship in public, in 2017 Bardem said, "It was easy working with Penélope. She is a great actress and we can always challenge one another to go farther, deeper, bigger and smaller. She can immediately tell what I’m doing; where I’m going. We know how to play with each other and try different things. All it takes is a little look, or a word here and there. So we pushed each other to be more daring... That confidence that we have in each other is a great thing."
Krist Novoselic (5/16/1965, Taurus Snake), Kurt Cobain (2/20/1967, Pisces Sheep) : The two musicians grew up in the town of Aberdeen, Seattle, and together founded the band Nirvana in 1987. Novoselic described in 2009, "We would just lock ourselves away. We would practice every day, and we’d be really serious about rehearsing. We would play over and over and over, and we would develop things...Kurt, he was the genesis of it. He was a true artist. He could have done sculptures; he could have been a painter; he could have been a comic book cartoonist, and he chose to make music a priority...One thing that Kurt would do is when he’d arrange a tune he’d tend to drive the riff into the ground. And so I would come in and say, 'Well, we need to do that riff half as long. Or here’s the structure, verse-chorus-verse, this and that.' Which was all basically Beatles, which was Tin Pan Alley...So it’s just basically like listening to so much music for so long, I wasn’t inventing anything. I was just kind of putting it into this traditional format, or suggesting that we do it."

The Chinese zodiac comprises fundamentally four Trine Families. One of these families includes the Dog and Horse (along with their compadre the Tiger). These signs are bound together by a spirit of humanitarian ambition—an aspiration to achieve greatness, while remaining faithful to ideals of justice, equality, and fairness.
Chances are these two will recognize each other as kindred souls before they have said very much at all. The Horse tends to admire instinctively the plainspokenness that lies at the heart of the Dog's character, and will usually sympathize wholeheartedly with the underdog causes that the Dog lives to defend. The Dog, on the other hand, finds the Horse's brand of upright independence at once inspiring and calming. In other company, these two can find their directness comes across as brusque or tactless. What a merciful relief it can be for each of them, to find an ally who is just as impatient with seemingly pointless niceties and posturing!
There is a strong entrepreneurial aspect to this energy, and Dog and Horse combinations can be found in professional contexts from business to sports to the arts. Among the many synergies between these signs, however, perhaps the single most important is their commitment to close relationships, the sharing of alliances through thick and thin. Even as distant acquaintances, the Horse and Dog will likely respect each other's commitment to faithfulness and devotion.
If the Dog and Horse develop into intimates with one another, don't be surprised if the bond between them proves unbreakable.

Jon Favreau (10/19/1966, Libra Horse), Vince Vaughn (3/28/1970, Aries Dog) : The actor/film-maker are close friends who have shared many notable collaborations, including Swingers (1996), Made (2001), Couples Retreat (2009), and The Break-Up (2006). Swingers, which proved the catalyst for both actors' successes, was written by Favreau as an exaggerated version of the pair's life as best friends and struggling actors. In an interview with one another about The Break-Up, Favreau described: "You dug my sense of humor, and I knew you'd be open to things, you'd be open to them, and I knew that if we were going to improvise together that, you know, it's like two musicians who have played a lot together, our rhythms sort of compliment each other, and so, I didn't have any of the responsibilities to worry about like in Swingers or Made where I was trying to keep a lot of stuff in my head I was able to just come in, and have a lot of fun."
George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog), Condoleezza Rice (11/14/1954, Scorpio Horse) : The former US President appointed diplomat/political scientist Rice as National Security Advisor (2001-2005) and Secretary of State (2005-2009). After the 2020 election, Bush disclosed that he had written in Rice's name on his ballot paper.
Nelson Mandela (7/18/1918, Cancer Horse), Bill Clinton (8/19/1946, Leo Dog) : The anti-apartheid activist and politician developed a close friendship during their respective presidencies of South Africa and the US. Professor Haroon Bhorat of the University of Cape Town has described: "There’s a very, very rich history and bridge that exists between South Africa and the US. If you wanted the jewel in the crown, so to speak, that would be the Mandela-Clinton relationship."
Laura Silverman (6/10/1966, Gemini Horse), Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : The two sisters are actors who have collaborated extensively. On The Sarah Silverman Program (2007-2010), real-life older sister Laura played Sarah's younger sibling. Laura described in 2007, "[Working together is] totally fun, we get along really well in general and love to make each other laugh so it's perfect, and we're kind of a huggy family so it's nice to have each other there for support, too. We're also so different in our acting styles, and big fans of each other's work, so there's no competition or anything."
Margot Robbie (7/2/1990, Cancer Horse), Saoirse Ronan (4/12/1994, Aries Dog) : The two actors became friends when the co-starred in the film, Mary Queen of Scots (2018). In a joint interview, Ronan was asked how she reacted when the two were cast together: "I was so excited, because — and I’ve told you this before, anyway — Margot and I met about a year and a half before we did the film together, and I always thought you were brilliant and fearless as an actor. Every single role you take on is completely different, and you can tell you just go for it — like we were saying, you’re like, 'Well, I’m in it now, so I’m just going to go for it.' But being able to share this with someone who is not only really, really nice, but is really, really normal like you are is really amazing. So well done."
Eboni Nichols (5/12/1978, Taurus Horse), Queen Latifah (3/18/1970, Pisces Dog) : While actor/musician Latifah is famously shy about her private life, it is widely believed that she is in a relationship with Nichols and that the two adopted a son, Rebel, together in 2019. At the BET Awards in 2021, she closed her acceptance speech: "Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love. Happy Pride!"
