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.

Jessica Seinfeld and Jerry Seinfeld

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."

John and Cindy McCain

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 and Amy Poehler

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."

Compatibility overview

Read more about the TAURUS HORSE and VIRGO PIG combined zodiac signs...

The four Trine Families that underlie Chinese astrology—like the elements in Western astrology—are composed of two compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and that of the Pig (with the Rabbit and Sheep). These two families together include some of the most precious combinations in the whole Chinese zodiac, and while the pairing of Horse and Pig is not always singled out for special attention, the surrounding good fortune creates some seriously favourable conditions for success.

The Horse is famously free-spirited and driven to make their mark, but they tend to have strongly altruistic impulses and detest compromise. Hence they are likely to find much to admire in the usually selfless, generous Pig, and can find themselves fitting comfortably into a rewarding, often protective, role in the relationship. The Pig, for their part, tends to be at their best when they can relax, knowing that their trusting nature will not be taken advantage of. The strength and upstanding qualities of the Horse can therefore provide the Pig with an invaluable sense security, helping them to avoid profligacy and channel their usually prodigious talents into nourishing opportunities.

There is a certain separateness about this energy, which at times may be more conducive to mutual respect and camaraderie than dying-in-a-ditch-together closeness. The Pig tends to be a kindly and homely spirit by nature, and they may find the intensity of the Horse blows their hair back a bit more than they can assuredly handle. The Horse has a dyed-in-the-wool need for independence that can make others feel at a distance—they may sometimes have a sense that the Pig needs more from them than they are willing to provide. Such challenges, however, may prove easy to manage in the right circumstances.

The bottom line is that the desirable characteristics of these two signs are potentially very harmonious, and with strategies in place to manage any passing feelings of neglect or excess, these two can achieve great things in a wide variety of contexts.

Greg Wise and Emma Thompson

Greg Wise (5/15/1966, Taurus Horse), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors have been in a relationship since 1995, and married in 2003. They have two children (one adopted). Thompson has described: "I think people in long, happy marriages tell a lot of fibs like ‘Yes, it’s been marvelous!’, whereas I say ‘No, sometimes it’s been awful’. I hope it carries on, but we don’t know. We say ‘Well, this is nice, isn’t it?’ We don’t take anything for granted."

Elissa Durwood Grodin (18 April 1954, Aries Horse), Charles Grodin (4/21/1935, Taurus Pig) : The actor/comedian/author and writer/journalist were married from 1983 until Grodin's death in 2021, and had two children. They met for the first time when Durwood interviewed Grodin in 1982, and at the end he famously proposed. Durwood described later: "[Grodin's] a help in every way. Above all, he's a good man. I have a happy life with him. He's been very helpful with career stuff. Supportive and full of goodness...You know what? I was expecting [him to propose]. I know it sounds weird, but there you go. We were star-crossed. We really hit it off. It was a deep connection...I just said yes. And a year later we were married. It's been fabulous. We've been married for thirty years."

Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David

Jerry Seinfeld (4/29/1954, Taurus Horse), Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedian/actor/writers famously co-created and collaborated for seven seasons on the hugely successful TV show, Seinfeld (1989-1998). According to the book by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, Seinfeldia (2017), Seinfeld approached David for help while developing the show in 1988. In an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000- ), which consists of largely improvised dialogue, Seinfeld said to David, "How many years did we work together? We would get so tired, we spent so many hours together. We would divulge the most intimate details of our personal lives, right? [David: Right.] Like twins in a womb, right? That's how we did this show. [David: Right.]"

Samuel Beckett (4/13/1906, Aries Horse), Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil (1/7/1900, Capricorn Pig) : The celebrated writer and pianist began an affair in the 1930s and married in 1961. They were died within months of each other in 1989, and are buried together in Paris. Professor of Drama at Trinity College Dublin, Nicholas Johnson, has described: "[Dechevaux-Dumesnil] is very under-represented in the scholarship about Beckett. Her impact on the work is absolutely enormous. Just in practical terms, it was Suzanne who goes to the publishers with his novels when they come back to Paris, so she acts like an agent really at a time when he doesn't seem capable of self-promotion. So I think she was probably quite forceful and functional in ways."

Missy Elliott and Aaliyah

Aaliyah (1/16/1979, Capricorn Horse), Missy Elliott (7/1/1971, Cancer Pig) : The two singers were close friends and collaborators, with Elliott contributing more than half of the songs on Aaliyah's album, One in a Million (1996). Writing after Aaliyah's tragic death in a plane crash in 2001, Elliott described: "[It was like [Aaliyah] was my little sister. We would hang out, go shopping together, or she would come to my house or we’d hang out in the studio. Our relationship went beyond the work we did together. We felt we had created a new sound, but it wasn’t like we just did records and that was it. It was more of a family vibe than just work. We could tell each other anything."

Zoe Saldana (6/19/1978, Gemini Horse), Mila Kunis (8/14/1983, Leo Pig) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have collaborated in the films, Get Over It (2001), After Sex (2007), and Blood Ties (2013). Speaking in 2018, at the ceremony for Soldana receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Kunis described: "When [Soldana] loves, she is all in. She’s all-in for her family, her friends and all-in for her work. I admire you as a person, a wife, a mother, a sister, a businesswoman and as an actress. While the world knows you for the characters you have played, I have the privilege of knowing the working mom behind the scenes...She is loud. Like, no joke, her superpower is volume. Walk into Zoe’s house and they are screaming, in English, in Spanish, in Italian. It is the loudest love you’ll ever receive in your life. The loudest love I’ve ever heard."
