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 and Jeff Richmond

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.

Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King

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."

The Pig and Sheep share a uniquely gentle harmonious energy match, one of the most nourishing in all of the Chinese zodiac.

Each of the four Trine Families that lie at the heart of the Chinese zodiac (like the elements in Western astrology) is brought together by a shared type of energy. In the case of the family that includes both the Pig and the Sheep (and their intimate comrade, the Rabbit), the uniting energy bespeaks a strong attachment to home and family. The values that are most important to these two tend to reflect this earnest desire for coziness and harmony. When the Pig and Sheep encounter one another, they are likely to experience immediately a great sense of cosmic reassurance. The Sheep, who can be frequently skittish in other company, will tend to relax all over, secure in the knowledge that the Pig's boundless generosity will not expose them to pressure or discomfort. The Pig, who with some other signs can alternate between naivety and frustration owing to their very trusting nature, finds in the Sheep a pure-hearted ally, whose gently protective spirit will never manipulate or take advantage of them.

Given the opportunity to grow together, these kindred spirits should find their relationship a pathway to nourishment and encouragement in those areas that are dearest to both of them. Artistic endeavours are strongly favoured, as are occasions for intimate merriment (not to mention moderate indulgence). Even for distant acquaintances who meet once in a blue moon, there can be a distinctly loving closeness to interactions between these two.

Whether at a distance or in more familiar contexts, this is a relationship to be treasured, a joy in times of plenty, and a haven from storms.

Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev
Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev (click for attribution/s)

Mikhail Gorbachev (3/2/1931, Pisces Sheep), Ronald Reagan (2/6/1911, Aquarius Pig) : The 40th US President and the eighth and final leader of the Soviet Union are credited with together ending the Cold War. In a series of meetings between 1985-1988, the two leaders agreed to a significant reduction in arms and transformed the relationship between their respective countries. The Reagan Foundation now records: "The unlikely pairing of a devoted anti-Communist advocate of capitalism with a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist resulted not only in the most significant arms reduction treaty in history, but in a permanent change in U.S.-Soviet relations. Neither country, nor the world, would ever be the same again. Somehow, against all odds, 'Ron and Mikhail,' as they eventually came to call each other, had found a way to make the planet safer after all."

Mike Nichols (11/6/1931, Scorpio Sheep), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The actor and director/producer collaborated multiple times, including the films, The Remains of the Day (1993), Primary Colors (1998), and Wit (2001), and the TV series, Angels in America (2003). After Nichols died in 2014, Thompson described: "Working with [Nichols] was like going to an eclectic, unorthodox, and highly original university. We would all get to wander about in the corridors and high ceilings of his mind—for free, mind you—each making different discoveries according to our tastes and aptitudes. Then, later, we would find that those discoveries applied to the rest of our lives...As for the laughing, there was no end to it. There were periods of hilarity that I am surprised I survived, let alone him. He laughed and cried in equal measure, to excess and always with good reason. He loved with unparalleled generosity and without reservation. His gifts to those of us lucky enough to have known him can never be measured. It was a lifting up. He lifted us all up.""

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

Maria Shriver (11/6/1955, Scorpio Sheep), Arnold Schwarzenegger (7/30/1947, Leo Pig) : The actor/politician and and journalist/author were married from 1986 to 2021 and have four children. They separated when, after completing his term as Governor of California, Schwarzenegger revealed to his family that 14 years earlier he had fathered a child with their longtime maid. Schwarzenegger has since described: "I can beat myself up as much as I want — it's not gonna change the situation. So the key thing is, how do you move forward? How do you have a great relationship with your kids? You can't go back — if I could, in reality, be Terminator, of course I would go back in time and would say, 'Arnold … no.' You know, it's always easy to be smart in hindsight. That's not the way it works."

Keegan-Michael Key (3/22/1971, Aries Pig), Jordan Peele (2/21/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The comedian/filmmaker and actor/comedian are close friends, who appeared together in the sketch comedy show, Key & Peele (2012-2015). They also collaborated on the films, Keanu (2016), and Wendell & Wild (2022). In a joint interview, Key described about their friendship: "[Peele] makes my heart giggle...There’s an ineffable quality, and sometimes it’s timing and luck that people just come across each other at a particular time in their lives. They come from similar places and they bring beautifully different perspectives." Peele said, "We’re each other’s funniest person...Whenever we get together, whether it’s been a day or a few months, it’s like there we are … We have a competition to make each other laugh and it’s just the same infectious thing that doesn’t really exist with anyone else. We’re just constantly trying to crack each other up."

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt

John Krasinski (10/20/1979, Libra Sheep), Emily Blunt (2/23/1983, Pisces Pig) : The two actors have been married since 2010, and have two children. They co-starred in the film, A Quiet Place (2018), which Krasinski also directed. Blunt described in 2013: "Meeting John really changed my life. When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible. There’s someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days."

Laura Dern (2/10/1967, Aquarius Sheep), Diane Ladd (11/29/1935, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actors are mother and daughter. They have co-starred in multiple films, including Wild at Heart (1990), Rambling Rose (1991), Citizen Ruth (1996), and Inland Empire (2006), as well as the HBO TV series, Enlightened (2011-2013). In 2023, they are set to publish their first co-written book, Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, and Love (and Banana Pudding). Dern described: "When my mother received a terrifying health diagnosis, we started taking walks. Walks that resulted in us having the deepest, most honest and even the funniest conversations of our lives together. This book is the result of not waiting to share it all and has brought us closer than ever."

Ron Wood and Keith Richards

Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep), Ron Wood (6/1/1947, Gemini Pig) : The two musicians have collaborated as the two guitarists in The Rolling Stones, since Wood joined the band in 1975. In the documentary film, Shine a Light, Wood was asked what was Richards' best point, and he answered: "Well, he's very moral and he's very caring, unlike his image." Richards described about their playing: "I know the truth, which is like, we're both pretty lousy, but together we're better than 10 others."
