Taurus and Pisces

Compatibility overview

The usually calm and delightful energy between firstwest and secondwest may prove to be one of the true unsung heroes of Western astrology. These two may lack some intensity, meaning other relationships are prioritized or demand more attention. But there is a beautifully any-kind-of-weather reliability to this connection, which can provide great joy in high times, and solace in times of need.

The interval of two signs between Pisces and Taurus forms a Sextile connection. This energy is famously relaxed and trustworthy—even lengthy breaks in communication can be mended almost in an instant. Freedom is the watchword here, as these two signs tend to admire each other's truest self, and thus instinctively give each other plenty of room to move.

Pisces' dreamy nature means they can be unpredictable or unreliable from time to time, so they are naturally drawn to Taurus' famous solidity and determination. Taurus, meanwhile, may be guilty of neglecting their soulful, creative side, which Pisces has a rare gift for bringing out into the open. The atmosphere between these two rarely involves criticism or negative judgment, and is rather characterized by openness, acceptance, and humor. There is also a rock-solid dependability to this gentle positivity, as the respective elements—Earth for Taurus, Water for Pisces—are always harmonious, meaning alliances and collaboration can flow with relatively little effort.

The modalities here are equally complementary, with Taurus' practical and achievement-oriented Fixed nature forming a beautiful segue into the more reflective Mutable energy of Pisces, with its concern for consequences and implications. Hence shared projects are not only likely to be enjoyable, but there is every chance they will be seen through to completion, offering both signs great pleasure, fulfillment, and success.

Oftentimes the most serious problem these two encounter is a lack of urgency or precedence. The easygoing nature of the Pisces/Taurus connection means it is sometimes taken for granted or neglected, especially if other demands or duties compete for the signs' attention. After all, the strength of this pairing lies in the compatibility of their differences as much as their similarities, so it is quite likely they will find themselves being pulled in opposite directions, at least from time to time. Fortunately, the underlying reliability here is almost impossible to strain past breaking point, and these two can usually drop back easily into the warm, reassuring atmosphere that typifies their time together.

If they can give each other the time and respect their relationship deserves, this energy can be a wonderful source of tenderness, inspiration, and joy.

Olivia Harrison (5/18/1948, Taurus Rat), George Harrison (2/25/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The musician (founding member of The Beatles) and author/film producer were married from 1978 until George Harrison died in 2001. They had one child. In the documentary film, George Harrison: Living in the Material World (2011), Olivia described: "I thought [George] was really somebody who was saying something that I connected with. He was really a very captivating person… I liked the music, I liked what he was doing. We just seemed like partners from the very beginning...We had our differences. I might have done a different technique than he did, but we both had the same goal, and I think that was really the key to everything in our lives."

J Balvin (5/7/1985, Taurus Ox), Bad Bunny (3/10/1994, Pisces Dog) : Rapper/singer/songwriter/producer Bad Bunny and singer/songwriter/producer J Balvin share a close and collaborative friendship. Highlights of their work together include the chart-topping single, "I Like It" (2018, with Cardi B), and their multi-platinum album as a duo, Oasis (2019). Balvin described in 2019, "We have been working on [Oasis] for a long time, and finally, we found its moment. Working with J Balvin has undoubtedly been an unparalleled experience. I have always admired and respected him a lot and we have had an excellent vibe throughout this whole process. I am proud to say I LOVE Bad Bunny; we always seem to be on the same wavelength, as he likes what I like. He is also all about celebrating our culture while remaining super humble. Working with Benito again has been a musical joy. I am blessed to not only call him my brother but now a partner on an album that has even become a personal Oasis."

Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch

Tina Fey (5/18/1970, Taurus Dog), Rachel Dratch (2/22/1966, Pisces Horse) : The two actor/comedian/writer/producers are longtime friends and collaborators. Their work together includes the TV shows, Saturday Night Live (1975-present), and 30 Rock (2006-2013), and the films, Martin & Orloff (2002), Sisters (2015), and Wine Country (2019). Presenting Fey with the PEN/Mike Nichols Writing for Performance Award in 2023, Dratch said, "Tina, I will say this. If I had one wish for you tonight, it would be that you had written this speech I am giving in your honor. It would be far wittier and, let’s face it, your speech would probably be turned into a Broadway play that could then become a movie that could in turn be a musical and then a movie musical and then back into a Broadway play and then into an avant garde performance piece downtown. [It would]…make you laugh out loud, it would include some sort of social satire, probably with a feminist bent that would make you say YES! LADY POWER!! But nothing cringey, you would be belly-laughing and maybe not even realize you had learned something about society along the way."

Sally Hawkins (4/27/1976, Taurus Dragon), Rafe Spall (3/10/1983, Pisces Pig) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have collaborated multiple times, including the film A Brilliant Young Mind [or X+Y] (2014), and a stage production of Constellations (2012). Hawkins described in 2015: "That's when it's as good as it can get, when you're with someone that you love and you really respect as an actor and that you can really trust and just do anything, really. That's what makes a difference when you're watching a film, you notice that and there's a truth to it...[Spall and I know know each other so well] it's like a code, a language...When an audience sees Rafe arrive they know he's going to make them laugh in some way or care about him in some way. That's palpable."

Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz

Penélope Cruz (4/28/1974, Taurus Tiger), Javier Bardem (3/1/1969, Pisces Rooster) : The two actors began dating in 2007, and married in 2010. They have two children. They have collaborated multiple times, dating back to Jamón Jamón (1992) when Cruz was 16, including the further films, Live Flesh (1997), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Loving Pablo (2017), The Counselor (2013), and Everybody Knows (2018). Though for the most part they have avoided discussing their relationship in public, in 2017 Bardem said, "It was easy working with Penélope. She is a great actress and we can always challenge one another to go farther, deeper, bigger and smaller. She can immediately tell what I’m doing; where I’m going. We know how to play with each other and try different things. All it takes is a little look, or a word here and there. So we pushed each other to be more daring... That confidence that we have in each other is a great thing."

Krist Novoselic and Kurt Cobain

Krist Novoselic (5/16/1965, Taurus Snake), Kurt Cobain (2/20/1967, Pisces Sheep) : The two musicians grew up in the town of Aberdeen, Seattle, and together founded the band Nirvana in 1987. Novoselic described in 2009, "We would just lock ourselves away. We would practice every day, and we’d be really serious about rehearsing. We would play over and over and over, and we would develop things...Kurt, he was the genesis of it. He was a true artist. He could have done sculptures; he could have been a painter; he could have been a comic book cartoonist, and he chose to make music a priority...One thing that Kurt would do is when he’d arrange a tune he’d tend to drive the riff into the ground. And so I would come in and say, 'Well, we need to do that riff half as long. Or here’s the structure, verse-chorus-verse, this and that.' Which was all basically Beatles, which was Tin Pan Alley...So it’s just basically like listening to so much music for so long, I wasn’t inventing anything. I was just kind of putting it into this traditional format, or suggesting that we do it."

Snake and Sheep

Compatibility overview

Compatibility in the Chinese zodiac is often defined in fairly black and white terms. The firsteast and secondeast, however, fall more into the gray area in between. The underlying energy here can be complicated, and there are certainly some challenges that may impede heart-to-heart closeness. Nevertheless, the synergies between these signs can foster genuine admiration and tenderness, which in the right circumstances can produce all manner of highly successful outcomes.

Harmony in the Chinese zodiac depends on the four Trine Families, which divide naturally into two compatible streams. The families of the Sheep (with the Pig and Rabbit) and Snake (with the Ox and Rooster) belong in different streams. This does give rise to a lurking tension, and some matches between these families (e.g., the Sheep and Ox, or the Rabbit and Rooster) can be seriously problematic.

Happily, the Sheep and Snake avoid the most worrying aspects of the surrounding atmosphere. When relaxed, the Sheep is the very essence of charm, as well as a highly conceptual and creative thinker. They will often be intrigued and aroused by the Snake, famously the most instinctively philosophical and sensual of all the Chinese signs. The Snake, meanwhile, loves to adore and be adored, so the delightful attentions of the Sheep may prove powerfully intoxicating. There can be a strongly sexual connection here, at least early on, but even in platonic settings, mutual admiration and a shared fascination with abstract realms can prove a heady mixture for this contemplative pair. These two signs can also comfort each other in important ways. The Snake's worldliness and strategic wisdom can be profoundly reassuring for the Sheep, who is notoriously edgy and fractious. The sensitive Sheep frequently knows just how to soothe the sometimes jealous or wounded disposition of the Snake.

The underlying tensions of this connection may surface around shared resources, fidelity, or creative vision. The Snake is blessed with rare commercial prudence and savoir faire, but this can sometimes look like miserliness to less financially restrained signs. Economic caution is often anathema to the Sheep, who places a much higher premium on sparkling extravagances, and bestowing lavish gifts on loved ones. Conflict in this area is more or less inevitable for this pair. Also, while the Sheep may be impressed by the more mercenary instincts of the Snake when it comes to outside endeavors, at heart the Sheep is much less tolerant of anything resembling manipulation. In shared projects, the Sheep may find the Snake unpleasantly pragmatic, while the Snake may feel the Sheep is naive or exposes them to uncomfortable risks. The sensuality of these signs may be a blessing when they are together, but as far as other signs are concerned, it can make the Sheep desperately uneasy, and the Snake cripplingly jealous.

On balance, this is a relationship that can function well at a measured distance, so the signs can enjoy their significant affinities without the tensions between them becoming too claustrophobic. That said, the abstract and sensual connections here can be truly delightful, and the result may provide lasting tenderness, warmth, and support.

Maria Shriver and Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Maria Shriver (11/6/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The iconic media personality Winfrey and journalist/author Shriver share a close friendship that has lasted over 40 years. In a joint interview in 2021, Winfrey described: "I cherish everything about [Shriver]. I cherish her frankness, I cherish her directness. I cherish her honesty. I cherish her truth. I cherish her sense of searching for the truth. I cherish her courage. Oh my God, Maria's gonna tell you the truth no matter damn what. Maria give it to you in your face and then say, 'And you know what I'm talking about! You already know what I'm saying is true.'" Shriver said, "[It's] the little moments...that's what I cherish [in our] friendship...There's so few people you can really talk to honestly, and that you feel safe [with], and when I walk out the door, I know nothing's going anywhere...In my darkest moments, [Winfrey] was right there, sitting right next to me, holding space."

Robert Downey Jr. (4/4/1965, Aries Snake), Mel Gibson (1/3/1956, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors share a close and supportive bond. After Gibson attracted controversy on numerous fronts, Downey famously said at the 2011 American Cinematheque Award: "When I couldn’t get sober, [Gibson] told me not to give up hope...I couldn’t get hired, so he cast me in the lead of a movie that was actually developed for him and he kept a roof over my head, and he kept food on the table. And most importantly, he said that if I accepted responsibility for my wrongdoings...I would become a man of some humility and that my life would take on new meaning, and I did, and it worked. All he asked in return, was that, someday I helped the next guy in some small way. It is reasonable to assume that he didn’t think the next guy would be him, or that someday was tonight."

Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), Joe Alwyn (2/21/1991, Pisces Sheep) : The superstar singer/songwriter Swift and actor Alwyn shared a private romantic relationship from 2016 to 2023. Referencing his Grammy for contributions to Swift's album, Folklore (2020), which won Album of the Year in 2021, Alwyn described: "It wasn’t like, ‘It’s five o’clock, it’s time to try and write a song together.’ It came about from messing around on a piano, and singing badly, then being overheard, and being, like, ‘Let’s see what happens if we get to the end of it together.’ I mean fun is such a stupid word, but it was a lot of fun. And it was never a work thing, or a ‘Let’s try and do this because we’re going to put this out’ thing. It was just like baking sourdough in lockdown. The Grammy was obviously this ridiculous bonus."

Jessica Chastain (3/24/1977, Aries Snake), Oscar Isaac (3/9/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The two actors share a friendship extending over twenty years. Describing their collaboration in the series, Scenes from a Marriage (2021), Chastain described: "The blessing is that, at the end, we were feeling each other’s thoughts. There was no wall between us. We joke he’s my work husband. I could tell immediately if someone said something and it bothered him. At the beginning, we read episode four and I got emotional from reading it...He could see I was in a tough place where nobody else in the room could tell. That’s the curse part. Because I was like, Okay, I’m about to go on this journey with this scene partner who I can’t hide anything from. He’s like a microscope with me. It makes the work better but more terrifying because sometimes you want some space. You’re like, I don’t want you to be able to read my thoughts every moment."

Christopher Plummer and Elaine Taylor

Christopher Plummer (12/13/1929, Sagittarius Snake), Elaine Taylor (10/17/1943, Libra Sheep) : The two actors were married for 53 years until Plummer's death in 2021. Plummer described in 2008: "Elaine had now completed her role in the movie and was on her way back to London for yet another engagement — a busy and popular lady. I felt absolutely empty and as despondent as anyone could be. As she was leaving, I told her I was going to miss her dreadfully and hoped she would let me see her in London. ‘All right, but on one condition,’ she warned, ‘that you cut down on the booze.'"

Muhammad Ali (1/17/1942, Capricorn Snake), Joe Frazier (1/12/1944, Capricorn Sheep) : The two heavyweight boxing champions shared a complex supportive and challenging relationship for over 40 years. When Ali lost his world championship title and boxing licence for refusing to be drafted to Vietnam in 1970, Frazier provided financial and political support. Frazier described about that time, "We were friends, we were great friends...[Ali] was a brother." However, after Ali used racially-charged language to promote their famous fight, the "Thrilla in Manila", in 1975, Frazier refused to accept Ali's apologies and spoke cruelly about Ali's experiences with Parkinson's disease. Shortly before Frazier died in 2011, they reportedly reconciled, with Frazier saying, "It's just sad [about Ali's Parkinson's] because he's a great guy and I'm hoping that maybe he could live the kind of live that we live. I'd love to see him do that. Because he earned that."

Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre (6/21/1905, Cancer Snake), Simone de Beauvoir (1/9/1908, Capricorn Sheep) : The two French philosophers shared a lifelong relationship and romantic commitment, as well as profoundly influencing each other's ideas. They reportedly never lived together, and had an "open relationship" that was especially radical for their time. According to de Beauvoir, Sartre said, "What we have is an essential love; but it is a good idea for us also to experience contingent love affairs." She reflected about this: "We were two of a kind, and our relationship would endure as long as we did: but it could not make up entirely for the fleeting riches to be had from encounters with different people."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps the most uniquely joyful and low-maintenance in the Western zodiac, offering both any-kind-of-weather reliability and belly-laughs in spades. This injects welcome lightness to the dynamic between the firsteast and secondeast in this relationship, two signs who often admire and care about each other greatly, but can also experience a sense of not being fully appreciated or understood. Overall, this is an energy matrix that bodes well for trustworthiness and humor, accentuating the highs, and smoothing quickly over the lows.
