Taurus Rabbit and Aquarius Monkey

George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey), John Williams (2/8/1932, Aquarius Monkey) : The composer and film director/producer shared one of the most iconic collaborations of all time in the Star Wars movies. In a recent interview, Williams remembered that Lucas originally wanted to use pre-existing classical music for the film, but Williams convinced him to use original music that could be manipulated to suit the drama. Contacted for comment, Lucas' representative responded that the director "never intended to use extant music in the film."

Dennis Hopper (5/17/1936, Taurus Rat), Rip Torn (2/6/1931, Aquarius Horse) : The actor and actor/director were famously in discussions in 1969 for Torn to appear in the Hopper-directed film, Easy Rider. Years later, Hopper accused Torn of pulling a knife on him over a dinner, to which Torn responded that it was Hopper who had pulled the knife on him. Torn sued Hopper for slander, and in 1998 won almost $1 million in damages.

Robert Zemeckis (5/14/1951, Taurus Rabbit), Leslie Zemeckis (2/5/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The director and actor/filmmaker/author have been married since 2001 and have three children together. Robert Zemeckis described in 2018: "We are very supportive of each other when it comes to our individual endeavors and our endeavors together. We understand the ebb and flow of our careers and sometimes one person’s project takes priority over the other. It’s important to have individual, outside interests to fulfill oneself so as not to become dependent on the relationship for fulfillment."

Shirley MacLaine (4/24/1934, Taurus Dog), Steve Parker (2/6/1922, Aquarius Dog) : The actor and film producer were married from 1954 to 1982 and had a daughter together. Describing their unorthodox relationship, Maclaine has said: "I guess you would say 'practiced an open marriage' in 1954, which was another lifetime. No one understood it. We did. He lived in Japan basically, I lived in America working, and this and that. We'd meet up, always great friends, traveled sometimes together."

Valerie Bertinelli (4/23/1960, Taurus Rat), Eddie Van Halen (1/26/1955, Aquarius Sheep) : The musician/founding member of the band Van Halen and actor were married from 1981 to 2007 and had one child (Wolfgang Van Halen) together. In her book Enough Already, Bertinelli described how the couple remained close after separating in 2001: "Ed and I grew even closer together. We couldn’t live with each other, but we found it impossible to live completely apart."

Cate Blanchett (5/14/1969, Taurus Rooster), Andrew Upton (2/1/1966, Aquarius Horse) : The actor and playwright have been married since 1997 and have four children together. Blanchett has described their courtship with characteristic irony: "I cooked him the worst meal. I somehow decided that to stuff a trout with walnuts and goat’s cheese would be a good idea. He ate it and then he asked me to marry him, so clearly he was, I don’t know, hallucinating."

Mark Hamill (9/25/1951, Libra Rabbit), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors became Hollywood royalty after appearing as Luke and Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, and they developed a lasting friendship. Hamill described: "I wasn’t her best friend – she had so many friends and I’d go to parties with her and I would be the only one there I’d never heard of. But there was a comfort level that we’d achieved because she knew I wasn’t ever angling for a favour or trying to get her to introduce me to this agent or this director. We became like real siblings over the years."

Rick Rubin (3/10/1963, Pisces Rabbit), Johnny Cash (2/26/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The music producer and country music icon collaborated on the bare-bones acoustic American Recordings series in the 1990s/2000, which led to a significant late-career revival for Cash. Rubin described: "[Cash] didn’t know who I was, but he wanted to understand why I would want to work with him because why would anyone want to work with him? In his mind, he was done. I didn’t convince him. We just sat and talked for a while, and I said, ‘Well, let’s just sit down and play me songs you love, and we’ll figure out what to do.’ He sat in my living room and he just started playing me these songs, most of which I had never heard, old country songs, or old folk songs, and it was magnificent."

Brad Pitt (12/18/1963, Sagittarius Rabbit), Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The two actors shared one of the most famous marriages in the world between 2000 and 2005—then one of the most famous break-ups, as Pitt began another high-profile relationship with Angelina Jolie shortly afterwards. Asked about Pitt and Jolie appearing in a 60-page photo-spread within months of her own divorce, Aniston described: "I can also imagine Brad having absolutely no clue why people would be appalled by it. Brad is not mean-spirited; he would never intentionally try to rub something in my face. In hindsight, I can see him going, 'Oh—I can see that that was inconsiderate.' But I know Brad. Brad would say, 'That’s art!'. There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing." Fifteen years later, after the two were photographed chatting amiably in 2020, Aniston commented: "You know, Brad and I are buddies. Like, we're friends and we speak."

Nicolas Cage (1/7/1964, Capricorn Rabbit), Patricia Arquette (4/8/1968, Aries Monkey) : The two actors were married from 1995 to 2001. When Cage initially pursued Arquette in the 1980s, he reportedly asked her to provide a list of valuables he could obtain to prove his devotion—including a J.D. Salinger signature and a "black orchid"—many of which he provided. Nearly a decade later, they encountered one another again and were married within two weeks.

Whitney Houston (8/9/1963, Leo Rabbit), Alicia Keys (1/25/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The two singers were close friends, with Houston acting as a mentor for Keys over many years. Speaking at Houston's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, Keys described their relationship as, "A beautiful friendship that was so genuine, and so sincere. We were kindred spirits and instant sisters." Keys recounted: "When I first met [Houston]...I was still in awe of this crazy world I was newly welcomed into, and she marched right up to me, and she said, 'You are gonna write a song for me.' I couldn’t believe it! Had the greatest voice of all time just demanded that of little ole me? I was shocked and completely overjoyed, and slightly scared."
