Western Zodiac
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 (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."
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 (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."
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."

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!"
