Compatibility overview

This typically restful, gentle combination is something of a sleeping giant in the Western zodiac. firstwest and secondwest are often underestimated as a pair, not least by the signs themselves, and it is true that other relationships often demand more attention. However, this duo have the potential to form a truly beautiful connection, as dependable and nourishing as it is immensely pleasurable.

The space of two signs between Cancer and Taurus forms a Sextile interval, perhaps the most relaxed connection in the Western zodiac. From the beginning, these two signs tend to put each other at ease. As time passes, their meetings are likely to be as enjoyable if they see each other every morning as if they only meet once a blue moon.

The Earth element of Taurus is well known for its compatibility with Cancer's Water. Water is synonymous with emotional depth and sensitivity, and Cancer's introspective nature means their essential direction usually takes them inward, towards cultivating a peaceful home and family. Taurus is in many respects the earthiest of the Earth signs, for whom there is typically no higher priority than to build steadily and provide for the future. Interactions between these signs thus benefit from a natural affinity, emphasizing security, tranquility, and relaxation. Cancer is the most impressionable of all the signs, so here Taurus' solidity helps them avoid the risk of anxiety or flightiness, while Cancer's emotional acuity means they usually have little difficulty navigating Taurus' notorious stubbornness. While Taurus' appetite for physical pleasures combined with Cancer's quintessentially receptive nature will likely be conducive to all kinds of mutual enjoyment, this energy match need not be all fun and games, either. Cancer's pure and inceptive Cardinal modality complements perfectly Taurus' actualization-focused Fixed nature. Professional or private projects are likely to benefit from relatively effortless collaboration, and have every chance of being completed successfully.

The main challenge for this pair stems from the very ease with which they get along. The lack of urgency about the connection between Cancer and Taurus may mean that both parties prioritize other causes or relationships. The old saying about the squeaky wheel getting the grease is apt to describe Sextile connections generally, and for these two in particular there is a possibility they will simply be too relaxed to give the relationship the attention it deserves.

Fortunately, even after sustained breaks in communication, these two tend to have little difficulty picking up where they left off. After all, there is potentially a quite vast wellspring of trust and admiration between Cancer and Taurus. Depending on if and how far the two signs take advantage of it, this energy can provide a wonderfully enriching lifelong connection.

Jennifer Meyer (4/23/1977, Taurus Snake), Tobey Maguire (6/27/1975, Cancer Rabbit) : Jewelry designer Meyer and actor Maguire were married between 2007 and 2016, and have two children together. Meyer has credited Maguire with motivating her to commit to her successful luxury jewelry business—"[Maguire] used a Star Wars quote — ‘There is no try, only do’ — and that got to me." In 2017, she described, "I [h]ave the [b]est [e]x on the [p]lanet...I don’t know what I would do without him — Tobey’s my best friend. I lucked out in the biggest of ways. He’s still very sweet to me."

Amber Heard (4/22/1986, Taurus Tiger), Elon Musk (6/28/1971, Cancer Pig) : Actor Heard and business magnate Musk reportedly dated around 2017.

We just bonded on a lot of things that speak to who I am on the inside. I have so much respect for him...He’s not boring."

Barbra Streisand (4/24/1942, Taurus Horse), James Brolin (7/18/1940, Cancer Dragon) : Legendary singer/actor/director Streisand and actor Brolin have been married since 1998. Brolin described in 2018, "When [Streisand]’s busy, she’s really focused, and part of our good relationship is that I understand that. And if I come to her with something important and she says, ‘I don’t have time right now,’ she doesn’t have time, period. That’s the way the mind works. You gotta focus...I’m always welcome when I get home. I always get notes, ‘Hurry home!’ When I get there, there’s always something kind of great waiting for me, some plan, and I try to reciprocate."

Joanna Lumley (5/1/1946, Taurus Dog), Stephen Barlow (6/30/1954, Cancer Horse) : Actor Lumley and conductor Barlow have been married since 1986. In a rare 2009 interview, Lumley described: "There’s never been a day of doubt ever since [we began seeing each other] that I’m with the right person...Marriage is such an odd thing to do, really. It’s odd to stay with one person for ever and I think sometimes people forget that it’s hard to do and needs work...We love the same things – we love silence and solitude. We have a cottage in Scotland and we adore going walking there together. It makes us feel very free. We both live very full lives – he’s a concert pianist, composer and conductor, and I’ve got my work – so our diaries are the worst thing. To get away is heaven. Most of all, though, we do lots of talking. I’m lucky that he is so passionate about my causes."

Lynskey described about making the movie, "[I]t was a real gift to get to have this much time with [Greer] on screen and off. I mean, I don't think we stopped talking, there wasn't a quiet moment. We were in the green room talking, we were walking to sit talking, we'd do the scene, we'd keep talking. I really adore her, she's great." Greer said in another interview, "[W]e’d just seen each other at industry events and had known each other for years. I always considered [Lynskey] a friend and wanted to work with her mostly because I wanted to hang out with her. It’s almost impossible to hang out with any actor friends unless you work together...So, the best way to hang out with your friends who are actors is to do a project with them."

Cher (5/20/1946, Taurus Dog), Tom Cruise (7/3/1962, Cancer Tiger) : Singer/actor Cher famously has famously described having an affair with actor Cruise, after they met at a White House function for people with dyslexia, before Cruise became one of the most famous stars of all time. Cher—who is 16 years older than Cruise—described to Oprah in 2008, "I lived in his apartment...I was so crazy about him. He was so wonderful ... And he was so, like, different. He was a shy boy. He didn't have any money."

Rabbit and Rabbit

Compatibility overview

The combination of two natives of the Rabbit sign is a very harmonious match. There is always some lack of balance with own-sign matches, which here can emphasize comfortableness more than excitement. But two Rabbits share such a strong affinity, especially in terms of creative aesthetics and diplomacy, that they can be strongly aligned and protective of each other—an excellent foundation for any relationship.

An alliance between two Rabbits brings together two peace-loving idealists.

The essential structure of Chinese astrology is built on the four Trine Families. The Rabbit's family, which also includes the Pig and Sheep, is the family most strongly associated with beauty, home, and family. These two will tend to bond immediately over their love of all that is most graceful and hopeful in the world. Artists down to their very soul, two Rabbits are likely to admire each other's abilities as much as their respective instincts and values. They have little patience or resilience when it comes to disturbances, so being together usually enables them to create a serene and supportive environment, where encouragement and aesthetic ambition are essential priorities. An alliance between two Rabbits thus brings together two peace-loving idealists.

Challenges for this pairing are more likely to arise from a lack of tension between them than from upheaval. Their shared energy may sometimes seem more pleasant than thrilling. The Rabbit's diplomatic skills are highly developed, so without more difference to accommodate, they may feel as if they do not have as much to contribute to this match as to others. When disruptions do arise, they may both be rattled in ways that make it hard to stand strong together. It might sometimes seem more natural for two Rabbits to settle into a distant friendship or to part ways as allies than to forge a close bond. It would be a mistake, however, to underestimate the gifts this connection can bring.

Few signs truly appreciate how difficult it can be to persevere in idealism and creative vision. A fellow Rabbit will not need these priorities to be explained to them, for they will feel the same motivation in their own bones as well. The result is a potentially life-changing solidarity, capable of nurturing the somewhat fragile but miraculous talents of both Rabbits, whether as casual acquaintances or lifelong partners.

Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra

Billie Holiday (4/7/1915, Aries Rabbit), Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The bond between the two legendary singers known as Lady Day and the Voice has been described as "a classic relationship of guru and disciple". Holiday was understated about her influence, saying, "I told [Sinatra] certain notes at the end he could bend. ... Bending those notes — that’s all I helped Frankie with." Sinatra, on the other hand, was effusive: "It is Billie Holiday ... who was, and still remains, the greatest single musical influence on me."

Elisabeth Shue (10/6/1963, Libra Rabbit), Davis Guggenheim (11/3/1963, Scorpio Rabbit) : The actor and writer/director have been married since 1994 and have three children together. Although they have kept their family life private, Shue has described Guggenheim's pivotal influence on her development as an actor: "Davis also knew that I was fighting my urge to become a great actress, which was something that was very important to me. I was afraid to want it for fear that it would never happen, and he challenged me and encouraged me to start studying and growing as an actor. He just loved me into taking acting seriously."

Quention Tarantino and Kurt Russell

Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Kurt Russell (3/17/1951, Pisces Rabbit) : The director and actor have collaborated multiple times. Tarantino has described Russell as an invaluable source for authenticity about productions from the 1970s and 1980s that have critically influenced Tarantino's work: "There’s almost nobody that Kurt didn’t work with at one point or other in his career. And just when I think I’ve talked to Kurt about everybody I can talk [to him about], I find some interesting actor on some show that did something interesting, and I wasn’t quite familiar with the guy, and I look him up, and it turns out that, like him and Kurt had a TV show together! [Laughs] ‘This guy?’ ‘Oh, that guy? Let me tell you about that guy."

Andy Murray (5/15/1987, Taurus Rabbit), Kim Sears (12/10/1987, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The painter and tennis player have been married since 2015. Sears famously wore a "Parental Advisory" T-shirt after being captured on-screen cursing in support of Murray. He said about the episode, "[S]he has a very good sense of humor, and she’s extremely protective and loyal to me, that’s for sure."

Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp

Lily-Rose Depp (5/27/1999, Gemini Rabbit), Harley Quinn Smith (6/26/1999, Cancer Rabbit) : The two actors (whose fathers are the director Kevin Smith and the actor Johnny Depp respectively) have been friends since kindergarten, and subsequently acted together in the films, Tusk (2014), and Yoga Hosers (2016). Depp has described: "Yeah, we were just talking about this, 'cause Harley had just been at the school for a year or so before I came, and so I remember visiting the classroom and just being the shyest little girl, hiding behind my mom’s legs and stuff. But Harley was one of the first people I actually talked to and opened up to, and she was one of my first friends ever."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Sextile match of firstwest and secondwest is one of the most dependable combinations in the Western zodiac, so from the beginning these two will likely share a good-natured and pleasurable connection. This natural camaraderie may be enhanced by the own-sign combination of firsteast and secondeast, which offers plenty of scope for a shared outlook and mutual admiration. There are limitations—the Sextile is sometimes so easy-breezy both signs overlook its potential, while the lack of balance on the Eastern side may at times cramp the relationship or make dispute resolution difficult. On balance, though, these are two kindred spirits, with excellent prospects of providing each other with long-term support, tenderness, and enjoyment.
