Virgo Dragon and Gemini Dog

Carey Mulligan (5/28/1985, Gemini Ox), Zoe Kazan (9/9/1983, Virgo Pig) : Actor Mulligan and writer/actor Kazan are friends who have collaborated on the films, Wildlife (2018), and She Said (2022). Speaking about She Said in 2022, Kazan described: "I think one of the really beautiful things about getting to have a friendship that can also be a working partnership for so long is that you get to appreciate your friend in a whole new way. And the way that Carey conducts herself, the way that she goes into every scene, Carey’s instincts were so unerring on this from the start, and there were so many times when I felt like I have no idea how to approach the scene and talking it through with Carey helped open the door for me. I just felt so lucky every day to get to look into her eyes and have this truth barometer here."

Helena Bonham Carter (5/26/1966, Gemini Horse), Tim Burton (8/25/1958, Virgo Dog) : Actor Bonham Carter and film director Burton were together as a couple for 14 years, and have two children. They collaborated on films including, Corpse Bride (2005), Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007), Alice In Wonderland (2010), Dark Shadows (2012), and Alice Through The Looking Glass (2016). They famously lived next door to one another in London during their relationship. Bonham Carter said in 2020, "I never got a free ride with Tim because I was sleeping with him. I was always auditioning. And I gave him two kids and everything!...[About the break-up,] I will say this in the positive sense: I do think there’s a point where people fit for a certain time, sometimes, and if you can, you recognise that you’ve given what you can, and you’re going to stop each other from evolving, and if you can afford it, well…I was reluctant at first, let’s say."

Jerry West (5/28/1938, Gemini Tiger), Kobe Bryant (8/23/1978, Virgo Horse) : Basketball executive and former player/coach West played a key role in drafting Bryant to the LA Lakers, where Bryant became one of the all time legends of US professional sports before his tragic death in 2020. West has spoken of the close bond that developed between them, saying he "loved [Bryant] like a son, I admired his talent." According to West, trash talk was central to their friendship: "We had some unbelievable conversations. I used to tell [Bryant] you foul too much, and you would be out of the game in no time if you are guarding me. I asked him if he's the Black Mamba, and he said yes. I said I'm a mongoose, and they kill every black mamba, and you can look it at Youtube seeing these things fighting, and mongoose wins every time. He said I'm not an ordinary black mamba, and I said I'm not an ordinary mongoose either."

Hit-Boy (5/21/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Nas (9/14/1973, Virgo Ox) : Legendary rapper Nas and singer/songwriter/producer/rapper Hit-Boy share a close and collaborative relationship, with Hit-Boy having produced Nas' last four consecutive albums: King's Disease (2020), King's Disease II (2021), Magic (2021), and King's Disease III (2022). Hit-Boy described in 2020: "We were gelling. I had multiple ideas I set to the side: some beats, some hook ideas. [Nas] was open and in a creative zone. He was ready to hear this s—, ready to build on it. Everything I was playing, he’s having his input and we turned it into something....After the first two or three sessions, [we decided to make the whole King's Disease project]. We’re like, 'Nah this s— gotta be an album, everything we’re making sounds crazy.'...[The pandemic] happened, so it gave us time to really dive into it more: make the production better, make the lyrics better. He took his time with certain verses, it turned into this moment." Nas said in 2021, "I try to make my rhymes count. I try to be very intentional with my words. If I’m thinking too into it, too close to the idea, Hit-Boy is good at bringing me back and giving me ideas and moving me into a new direction. It’s a real collaboration."

Amanda Pays (6/6/1959, Gemini Pig), Corbin Bernsen (9/7/1954, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been married since 1988, and have four children. In addition to working together on screen—they have acted together in films including, I Know My Son is Alive (1994), Spacejacked (1997), The Santa Trap (2002), and Mary 4 Mayor (2020)—they also collaborate in real estate ventures, and as at 2017 had "flipped" 23 homes. Bernsen described: "When we first got together, I had just finished renovating my first home, purchased during 'L.A. Law.' Amanda walked in the door and immediately said, 'Nice, but everything has to go!' She had her own ideas — great ideas — and being so in love and trusting her, I said, 'Have at it!' She deconstructed all that I had just done, and the result was beautiful. To some degree, we’ve both done this 'yielding' with subsequent homes, respecting each other’s vision."

Ian Fleming (5/28/1908, Gemini Monkey), Sean Connery (8/25/1930, Virgo Horse) : The author Fleming, creator of the iconic fictional secret agent, James Bond, famously did not approve of actor Sean Connery being cast in the role. Fleming once said: "I wanted Bond to be an extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened." Connery said later, "I never got introduced to Fleming until I was well into the movie but I know he was not happy with me as the choice. What was it he called me, or told somebody? That I was an over-developed stunt man. He never said it to me. When I did eventually meet him he was very interesting, erudite and a snob – a real snob. But his company was very good for a limited time for me." Fleming eventually warmed to Connery, even giving the character of Bond Scottish ancestry in later books.

Vladimir Putin (10/7/1952, Libra Dragon), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The relationship between President Trump of the US and President Putin of Russia was a source of much fascination during the former's term in the Oval Office. In the US, the apparent friendliness between the two—historically unprecedented between Russian and American leaders—drew criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans.

Harvey Weinstein (3/19/1952, Pisces Dragon), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The celebrated film director and now-infamous producer already shared a fraught relationship long before Weinstein's conviction as a sex offender. The tension between them resulted in two competing movie projects about the kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, as well as a confrontation over Shakespeare in Love defeating Saving Private Ryan for the 1999 Best Picture Oscar. "When I saw Spielberg later, I don’t think it was a lovefest," Weinstein said about the incident. "That was a tough one."

Jeb Bush (2/11/1953, Aquarius Dragon), George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog) : The two brothers, part of the Bush political dynasty and respectively a former US President and Governor of Florida, have famously shared a fractious but formally supportive relationship. A cousin described in a published memoir that, "When they were young, Jeb was just somebody for George to torture."

Orlando Bloom (1/13/1977, Capricorn Dragon), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The singer and actor made headlines after an altercation between them in Ibiza, Spain. Footage of the event appeared to show Bloom throwing a chair at Bieber.

Rihanna (2/20/1988, Pisces Dragon), Nicki Minaj (12/8/1982, Sagittarius Dog) : These two legendary entertainers collaborated together on tracks including "Fly" and "Raining Men" in 2010. After years of a rumoured feud and apparently unfollowing each other on social media, they reunited in 2021.

Chelsea Noble (12/4/1964, Sagittarius Dragon), Kirk Cameron (10/12/1970, Libra Dog) : The two actors married in 1991 and have six children (four of whom are adopted). They met on the set of the TV show, Growing Pains (1985-1992). They have since starred together in films including A Little Piece of Heaven (1991) and Mercy Rule (2014), and several times Noble has played an uncredited "kissing double", as Cameron is an Evangelical Christian who refuses to kiss a woman who is not his wife. Noble has described: "We've learned that we have to be respectful fo each other's need for personal space. On the set, we have separate dressing rooms, and sometimes that's where we find personal time. Because of our friendship, we can say 'I need a little space' or 'I need some time alone,' and we respect that, instead of taking it personally...Instead of taking our frustrations out on each other, we've learned how to best work through things. We don't walk away from each other, or run to separate work places. We face each other and work things out."
