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.

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."

Like the elements in Western astrology, the four Trine Families that are central to Eastern astrology divide naturally into two compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and the family of the Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep). The Horse and Rabbit may not be the most attention-grabbing match between these two families, but they still profit from the auspicious surrounding energy.

It's not always obvious, given their swashbuckling, go-it-alone character, but the Horse is an idealist at heart. The sensitivity and artistry of the Rabbit thus appeal greatly to the Horse's core values. The Rabbit's gentle nature can also put the Horse at ease, helping them to relax and open up in a way they seldom allow themselves with other signs. The Rabbit, meanwhile, can be easily rattled or disturbed on their own. The Horse's independent spirit fortifies the Rabbit, making them less vulnerable to criticism or drama. This frees the Rabbit to pursue their talents with an unperturbed mind, at peace with the world.

These two will need to keep an eye out for distance between them occasionally. Mutual admiration need not always translate into the strongest alliance. Both parties should make sure the other knows just how much they are valued or loved. The Horse and Rabbit also need to maintain the protection the relationship provides. The Horse is by nature more forceful and independent-minded, and can be selfish or blunt. If outside influences, insensitivity, or neglect are allowed to threaten the cocoon-like quality of this relationship, problems may ricochet around without resolution, especially for the more delicate Rabbit.

Fortunately, the underlying positive energy here means that strategies to avoid potential challenges are likely to work well. This is a relationship that may function best with each party having their own sphere to work in, then joining together to enjoy the special connection they share. Ultimately, these two are likely to recognize and trust in the goodness in the other's heart, which can be a cornerstone of a lasting, nourishing, and inspiring bond.

Taika Waititi (8/16/1975, Leo Rabbit), Rita Ora (11/26/1990, Sagittarius Horse) : The director and singer are rumoured to have become a couple around April 2021 and married quietly during 2022. Ora has said about the relationship: "I've always wanted the fairytale, that's what I grew up loving. For me, it was always about that love, finding a partner, so I'm really happy I did."

Ali MacGraw (4/1/1939, Aries Rabbit), Steve McQueen (3/24/1930, Aries Horse) : The respective stars of Bullitt and Love Story were married from 1973 to 1978. McGraw said in 2018: "He was incredibly attractive most of the time but there was also danger, there was bad boy there. I wish we had both grown old sober. There were wonderful days and dreadful days."

Mackenzie Davis and Kristen Stewart

Mackenzie Davis (4/1/1987, Aries Rabbit), Kristen Stewart (4/9/1990, Aries Horse) : The two actors starred together in the film Happiest Season, said to be "the first mainstream festive romcom about a same-sex couple". Stewart described how the obvious on-screen chemistry never felt forced: "[Davis] is such a real person. I wanted this couple, and the way that we represented these individuals, to feel really casual, sort of self-assured. And Mackenzie is fun and infectious, and she has a confidence that I find contagious. It was really important for me to show a queer couple feeling cool and comfortable and in their own skin. I can’t watch this movie and be like, it’s kind of [expletive]. Anyway, luckily, Mackenzie exists, and there you go."

Jerrod Carmichael (4/6/1987, Aries Rabbit), Bo Burnham (8/21/1990, Leo Horse) : The two comedians are close friends. Burnham directed Carmichael's HBO comedy specials 8 (2017) and Rothaniel (2022), the latter during which Carmichael came out as gay. Carmichael has described: "[Burnham]’s the friend of my dreams, in a way. I’m really happy that we found each other. I trust him with my life, in all ways. And so a lot of the moments you see in Rothaniel, the reason I was able to go there is because he's directing. It's like my best friend's directing, and I can give everything. I don't have to hide anything, that I can take down any wall. He's the best friend you could ask for. He really protected me."

Final Words

The Trine combination of firstwest and secondwest is among the most celebrated in all Western astrology. One of the few matches in the world where the respective elements and modalities are in perfect harmony, these two have the potential to provide each other with limitless inspiration, excitement, and commitment. The fire may burn a little less intensely on the Chinese zodiac side, but the pairing of the firsteast and secondeast nevertheless shares plenty of good fortune and a natural camaraderie that can be highly conducive to success. Overall, this is a special match for closeness and achievement, whatever the context.
