Taurus and Capricorn
Compatibility overview
This is one of the pre-eminent matches in the Western zodiac. Not only are firstwest and secondwest likely to share fundamental values about what is important in life, but their approaches to everyday business—be it work, play, love, or all of the above—are literally as compatible as could be.

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."

Compatibility overview
Much of Chinese astrology is about extremes of positive or negative energy. The combination of firsteast and secondeast, however, falls in the middle ground. Although these signs can have quite different instincts, meaning there is potential for conflict and tension at times, there are also some strong affinities that can foster a warm and supportive relationship.

Compatibility in the Chinese zodiac is generally based on four Trine Families (like the elements in Western astrology). The families of the Ox (with the Rooster and Snake) and the Tiger (with the Dog and Horse) have a reputation for not being very close, and in fact there are some problematic matches among them (e.g., Ox and Horse, or Tiger and Snake). The Ox and Tiger themselves, however, have much in common.
Both of these signs are drawn to leadership, and they each have a strong commitment to the values they hold dear. In early conversations, these two may well be greatly impressed by each other's ambitions and principles. Lively banter or sexual tension would be par for the course. The Ox will almost certainly respect the Tiger's nobility and dedication to causes, while the Tiger cannot help but admire the extraordinary strength and determination of the Ox. In fact, it is the similarities between these two that may prove the clearest source of potential tension.
Tasked with working together, the leadership styles of the Ox and Tiger may not always co-exist easily. The Tiger tends towards a varied pace, mixing idleness with blazing bursts of activity, whereas the Ox is known for steadiness and relentless willpower. The Ox inclines towards group efforts, where the Tiger's style is more independent. Most importantly, neither of these signs will be comfortable deferring to the other, and both will believe themselves entitled to deference.
Ultimately, it may be crucial for these two to arrange things so each can be in charge of their own projects, rather than collaborating all the time. If such an accord can be arranged, then the Ox and Tiger both have a deeply caring side to their personalities, and the relationship may prove a deeply warm and supportive connection.

Jane Fonda (12/21/1937, Sagittarius Ox), Ted Turner (11/19/1938, Scorpio Tiger) : The actor and media entrepreneur were married between 1991 and 2001. Speaking about the marriage in 2021, an 83-year-old Fonda explained: "I’m attracted to people who can teach me things and whose lives are different from mine...marrying Ted is like marrying 15 people — you have to learn how to hunt, so I did. You have to learn how to fly-fish, so I did."
Rooney Mara (4/17/1985, Aries Ox), Joaquin Phoenix (10/28/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors met in 2012 and have been a couple since 2017. Their son, named River Lee after Phoenix's late brother, was born in 2020. "She’s the only girl I ever looked up on the internet," Phoenix has said about Mara. "We were just friends, email friends. I’d never done that. Never looked up a girl online."
George Clooney (5/6/1961, Taurus Ox), Steven Soderbergh (1/14/1963, Capricorn Tiger) : The director and actor/director have collaborated on multiple occasions, including Out of Sight, Solaris, and the Ocean's Eleven series. Speaking about the his first film as a director, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Clooney described: "My first cut was about half an hour longer, and the first time I showed it to [Soderbergh] all together, he said, 'It's great, you're gonna cut, like, three of your favourite shots,' and I'm like, 'You're stoned, dude.' About a month later, I cut those shots, which killed me, but Steven was infinitely helpful ... it's a story told from three different narratives of a guy in three different periods in his life and sort of coming to terms with the idea of having a specific one that you could really focus on and that was where [Soderbergh] was really helpful in understanding that. It's a wild process."
Camila Cabello (3/3/1997, Pisces Ox), Shawn Mendes (8/8/1998, Leo Tiger) : The two singer/songwriters were in a relationship from 2019-2021. Despite rumors that the couple formed as a publicity stunt, both Cabello and Mendes insisted the relationship was real. Mendes described: "She is completely all in or nothing. And I think that’s something that I wasn’t at the beginning of our relationship. And I think that a lot of people maybe are afraid to be all in, because if you’re all in, then you kind of, it hurts it. The blow hurts that much more if it ends, you know? ... She’s so absolutely patient with me, especially when I’m stressed or anything is kind of getting to me. She’ll text me. And if I ever am kind of just being bite-y with her and she’d be like, ‘It’s okay. I love you. No matter what, I love you, no matter what.’ And it’s like, that’s real strength and patience and love. But it’s amazing. It’s like a movie."

Final Words
A Trine combination, one of a very small few who share perfectly harmonious elements and modalities, firstwest and secondwest are born allies who can usually be trusted to engage, excite, and depend on each other from the get-go. The pairing of firsteast and secondeast provides a more equivocal influence, one based more on particular affinities between their characters than general good fortune, which can be more conducive to admiring comrades than bosom friendship. Overall, though, the superb influence of firstwest and secondwest creates the conditions for all kinds of successes here.
