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 according to the Chinese zodiac depends first and foremost on the four Trine Families. As well as the Trine matches themselves, each sign has a cherished Soulmate match, comprised of a member of their kindred family. The Tiger (whose family consists of the Dog and Horse) and Pig (whose family is made up of the Rabbit and Sheep) share such this Soulmate energy.
The key to understanding Soulmate energy is that each sign has a particular sensitivity and admiration for the most authentic qualities of the other. Even across a crowded room, the Pig will often pick up on the majestic impulses of the Tiger, typically at once humanitarian and ambitious. The Tiger is equally apt to notice the Pig's infinite generosity and often underestimated, yet potentially prodigious, intellectual and physical capabilities. There is also a distinctly affirming and protective quality to this heartfelt match. The Tiger may feel as if it is their natural-born responsibility to shield the Pig from their tendencies towards naivety and over-indulgence. The Pig—who usually brings a beautifully selfless quality to most of their relationships—is often perfectly attuned to, and comfortable guarding against, the Tiger's predisposition towards risk-taking or over-committing themselves. Perhaps most important of all is the simple joy that these two can share, delighting in each other's company, and taking greater pleasure in the other's happiness than their own.
Of course, Soulmate energy is no free ride. The connection between the Pig and Tiger tends to demand commitment and respect. Even in professional settings, both parties could wind up bruised, even deeply hurt, if for whatever reason the other sign is unwilling or unable to match their admiration or devotion. Other relationships, with perhaps less abundant potential, may ultimately prove more resistant to competing priorities or disappointment.
However, if these two can carve out the space they need to work closely together, or to explore and care for each other as intimates, the sky really is the limit for this wonderful pairing.

Bernie Taupin (5/22/1950, Gemini Tiger), Elton John (3/25/1947, Aries Pig) : Acclaimed singer/songwriter Elton and lyricist Taupin have shared a 50-year songwriting collaboration that is one of the most successful partnerships of all time. Taupin described in 2019: "When we started it out it was really just me and him...I’d like to think I’ve been someone who can’t be ruffled by the insanity of [Elton's] career—and that I’ve always been there as the soft pillow to fall on in times of need...If we’ve weathered the storm now for over 50 years and have been able to maintain this extraordinary bond with each other, I don’t think there’s anything on god’s green earth that could separate us now."
Stephanie Allynne (9/19/1986, Virgo Tiger), Tig Notaro (3/24/1971, Aries Pig) : Comedian Notaro and actor Allynne married in 2015. They have two children, twins born in 2016. Allynne described in 2015: "I had not dated women before, and I think when we first started spending time with each other, I was so into Tig and I was falling in love with her and I didn't know how to identify it because I thought I was straight. I kept gravitating toward her and wanting to spend time with her, and then in the process of recognizing that in myself, I was like, 'Oh my god, I am fully in love with this person.' It kind of blew my mind in terms of sexual orientation, where you're like, 'I'm this way, and it's black-and-white.' I look back and go, 'God, I closed the door that I had no idea what was behind it.'"
Bill Murray (9/21/1950, Virgo Tiger), Sofia Coppola (5/14/1971, Taurus Pig) : The director and actor have collaborated multiple times, including the films, Lost in Translation (2003)—for which they both received Academy Award nominations—A Very Murray Christmas (2015), and On the Rocks (2020). Speaking about Lost in Translation, Coppola described: "It was about when you have a connection with someone. You never know. When you encounter someone you can instantly be hit by a look or a sense of humor. It was something that’s romantic without a sexual or real relationship. It does not mean he could actually be with you, but you could still have something of that bittersweet aspect. It’s the best way to connect with someone...[Murray's] so smart. He got what that character was looking for. We didn’t talk about it. He showed up and knew the tone of it. He found it as we went. He just got it. I feel a connection with him, in that he understands what I’m trying to do."
John Slattery (8/13/1962, Leo Tiger), Talia Balsam (3/5/1959, Pisces Pig) : The two actors have been married since 1998, and have one child. They played husband and wife, Roger and Mona Sterling, in the series, Mad Men (2007-2015), and also appeared together in the film, Return (2011). Slattery described in 2019, "I just found the right person, you know, I lucked out. I guess marry someone you like. We get along well, we always have, and I guess being in show business, some people say it’s difficult. I don’t know. We understand the rhythms of this life, which aren’t easy sometimes and there’s insecurity. You’re not sure where you’re going to be. So I don’t know. I got lucky."
Emilia Clarke (10/23/1986, Scorpio Tiger), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors formed a close friendship when they collaborated on the film, Last Christmas (2019), which was co-written by Thompson. Clarke described: "I remember just looking at [Thompson] and being like, 'Just let me know if I mess it up.' She was like, 'What!' Gets me in this huge hug, and is like, 'I’ll do nothing of the sort. You’re going to be fine.' That was the dynamic from there on out. She just supported us in [this] magical way. I hadn’t met her before [the film] but I had been pretty obsessed with her my whole life. When I met her, she exceeded all of my expectations...I’ve had the good fortune of going to visit her and [her husband] Greg’s house in Scotland. They love a good sauna. You jump into their stream, you get freezing cold, and then you jump back in the sauna, and then get back in the stream. It was me, Emma, and Greg in the nude in a sauna, jumping back and forth and shrieking…it was a dream."
Jeff Garlin (6/5/1962, Gemini Tiger), Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedians have famously become close friends through their collaboration on the show, Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000-present). Garlin described in 2011: "We discovered our connection during the audition process for the initial Curb special, and it felt instantly like we'd worked together our entire lives. I don't know why we have this relationship, but we do. Maybe we were slaves together in an earlier life. And in Curb Your Enthusiasm we were doing what we did and not having a clue whether people would get it or like it. The fact that it's gone on to be a big success, I am shocked. Because it truly was something that was organic, that we did to make ourselves laugh."
Tony Bennett (8/3/1926, Leo Tiger), Amy Winehouse (9/14/1983, Virgo Pig) : The two singers collaborated on the song, "Body and Soul", from Bennett's Grammy-winning album, Duets II (2011). The song was Bennett's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for 45 years, and proved to be Winehouse's last recording. In Bennett's autobiography, Just Getting Started (2016), he wrote: "Should I have told [Winehouse] that I'd contended a little bit with [drugs and alcohol] myself and knew how you can fall into a bad cycle, but I also knew that you could bring yourself back? Would it have made a difference if someone she considered an idol had said to her something like, 'You're my idol. You are a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Please don't take that from the world.' [Maybe I should have said: ] Walk away from it all, if you like. Just live. Please."
