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 (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.
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."

Like the elements in Western astrology, the four Trine Families that underpin the Chinese zodiac divide naturally into compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Sheep (with the Pig and Rabbit) and the family of the Tiger (with the Dog and Horse). The Sheep and Tiger thus attract some delightfully harmonious surrounding energy.
The Sheep is a profoundly sensitive soul, as deeply caring and creative as they are easily disturbed, so they are often impressed from the outset by the boldness and self-belief of the Tiger. On the other hand, the Tiger's independence and recklessness often make them feel distant from those around them, so they tend to be drawn immediately to the Sheep's warmth and keen intuition. The more these two get to know one another, the more likely it is that common interests and values will emerge.
These signs share a strong commitment to serving others, the Sheep through their instinctive generosity and love of peace, the Tiger through nobility and sacrifice. And both are motivated by identity-defining idealism. The Sheep usually loves nothing more than to share their gift for exploring and expanding the conceptual horizons of their community, while the Tiger is capable of unbridled commitment to honorable innovation and transformation. These big picture affinities can open a door to abundant pleasure, humor, admiration, and attraction. Indeed, few pairings can match the pure enjoyment these two experience when their shared energy is firing on all cylinders.
The Sheep and Tiger do usually tend to maintain a clear sense of their individual identities, so the potential for closeness may be limited in certain ways. Collaborations often involve separate roles rather than working hand-in-glove. The Tiger's attitudes may sometimes seem dangerous or unrelenting to the more careful Sheep, while the Sheep could at times seem fragile, moody, or inconsistent to the Tiger, whose instincts are usually more direct. Thankfully, this flexible match can usually adapt to whatever form is most conducive to the happiness of both signs.
Irrespective of the context or degree of commitment, this frequently enchanting energy has the potential to provide lasting dependability and fulfillment.

Steve Wozniak (8/11/1950, Leo Tiger), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The entrepreneur and engineer co-founded Apple Computer, Inc. in 1977. Wozniak has described how, in the early days of their relationship, the pair bonded over their love of electronics and hijinks, "[C]hasing concert paraphernalia, driving around playing pranks, doing the blue boxes [a device to make free phone calls]. We had a lot of fun times." Later, according to Wozniak, they grew distant: "[Jobs] didn’t want to talk about jokes, [or] fun kid things, only business suits on the front of magazines, talking business talk and learning how to speak it...That’s when his personality changed, and he got kind of strict."
Jane Galloway (2/27/1950, Pisces Tiger), David Haig (9/20/1955, Virgo Sheep) : The actor and actor/professional cook married in 2010, after being together for 31 years and having five children. Haig described: "Our two sons still maintain this slightly 1960s idea that it is quite cool to have unmarried parents around, but our three daughters are very into the idea [of a wedding] and so are we, frankly."
Robert Pattinson (5/13/1986, Taurus Tiger), Suki Waterhouse (1/5/1992, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors have been together since 2018. In a 2023 interview, Waterhouse described: "I’m shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years. I’m always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up (on my phone) or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me. We’ve always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious."
Michael Turchin (1/14/1987, Capricorn Tiger), Lance Bass (5/4/1979, Taurus Sheep) : The NSYNC musician and actor/artist have been together since 2011. They married in 2014 and have two children. Interviewed in 2014, Bass described: "Out of all my past relationships, I’ve had no one who could really handle my lifestyle. But Michael understands my crazy life and he fits perfectly into it. He’s the support system that I need." Turchin added: "I started out in my art career a couple of years ago and I think half the success I’ve had is due to the support Lance has given me. He’s just such an incredible person. I couldn’t imagine waking up next to anybody else."
Jodie Foster (11/19/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Mel Gibson (1/3/1956, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors met on the set of the movie Maverick (1994), and have been close friends ever since. Foster cast Gibson in the lead role of her film, The Beaver (2011), despite him having ongoing reputational issues. Foster explained: "[Gibson's] so incredibly loving and sensitive, he really is. He is the most loved actor I have ever worked with on a movie. And he's not saintly, and he's got a big mouth, and he'll do gross things your nephew would do. But I knew the minute I met him that I would love him the rest of my life. I know him in a very complex way. He's a real person; he's not a cardboard cutout. I know that he has troubles, and when you love somebody you don't just walk away from them when they are struggling."
Demi Moore (11/11/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Bruce Willis (3/19/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1987 until 2000 and had three children together. They have maintained a close friendship since their separation, and their respective families reportedly quarantined together in 2020. During Moore's marriage to Ashton Kutcher (2005-2013), Willis described: "It's generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don't understand how I can get along with my ex like that. Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we're really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together."
Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger), Anne Bancroft (9/17/1931, Virgo Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1964 until Bancroft's death in 2005, and had one child. Asked in 2021—at the age of 95—about whether they were truly the opposites they appeared to be, given Bancroft was a serious actor and Brooks a comedian, Brooks described: "There was that whole other side of me that was maybe slightly, you know, well-read, intellectual, emotional and wasn't funny and was serious about life. And there was that whole other side of her, where she - I said, you're like a shortstop in the Yankees. You catch every ball. And you got pepper. You've got such pepper in the infield. And you're so - you're like a Jew mountain comic. And nobody knows that, you know? And they never knew the other side of her. They only - but there was that one side of her that was heavenly. It was sweet. And it was comforting. And it was supportive. And it was, I guess, so lovely, it's indescribable. And I was very, very lucky. And I - if I believed in God, I would thank God every night for giving me Anne Bancroft."
Ben Wallace (9/10/1974, Virgo Tiger), Metta Sandiford-Artest (11/13/1979, Scorpio Sheep) : The two professional basketball players achieved notoriety in 2004, after a confrontation between them expanded into a brawl involving the crowd known as the "Malice at the Palace". However, the two are now on good terms. In 2021, Sandiford-Artest posted a photo of Wallace and him smiling together with the caption: "This duo would beat any duo. Ruled the 2000’s on defense. It’s not debatable." Wallace has described: "I always admired the way Ron Artest played the game and the energy he played with on the defensive end. There was no real beef between us, it was just something that happened."
