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."

The Horse and Tiger pairing is a truly wonderful energy match, attracting both inspirational and profoundly stabilising energy in the Chinese zodiac.

The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families. One of these families includes the Horse and Tiger (with their kindred spirit, the Dog). This family is bound together by spirited, righteous energy. They are driven to succeed, and willing to make all kinds of sacrifices to achieve their goals, yet they also aspire to noble values of egalitarianism and service to others. Early contacts between the Horse and Tiger thus often represent a true meeting of minds. Horse natives are rarely shy about putting their prodigious talents on show—their pioneering brand of razzle-dazzle will likely captivate the Tiger from first sight. Even quieter Tiger souls have a commanding presence, and their noble pronouncements tend to immediately impress and attract the freewheeling Horse.

As these two get to know each other better, the real magic can potentially take hold. The Horse and Tiger are each defined by an essential inner contradiction. They are dyed-in-the-wool independents, reluctant to defer to anyone else's vision or authority, yet they also feel forever incomplete without a trusted partner or inner circle. The great compatibility between the Horse and Tiger means that somehow their respective needs for autonomy bring them together instead of wedging them apart. These two can comfortably spend time at a distance, or intensely challenge or confront one another, and the connection between them will only grow stronger as a result. Indeed, as is typical for Trine Family matches like this one, it is the evergreen nature of this combination that sometimes represents its greatest risk. For this kind of precious connection can sometimes seem too natural, too effortless, to be worthy of total commitment.

If the Horse and Tiger trust and invest in the power of their shared energy, then whatever the context, their relationship can be a once-in-a-lifetime source of belonging, adventure, and potency.

Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault

François-Henri Pinault (5/28/1962, Gemini Tiger), Salma Hayek (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : The actor and business entrepreneur had a daughter together in 2007 and have been married since 2009. In 2021, Hayek was quoted as saying, "When there is conflict, we put all the energy in solving the problem - never finding who to blame or 'You should have done this or that.' No, all our energy goes into: 'How do we solve this?'"

Pauletta Washington (9/28/1950, Libra Tiger), Denzel Washington (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse) : Married since 1983, the Washingtons have four children together. Denzel Washington has described: "The difference between a house and a home, it’s a big difference. You can buy a house, but that doesn’t make it a home—and not to say a man can’t make a home a home, but my wife has made our house a home, and raised these beautiful kids, and protected them and sacrificed for them. She did the heavy lifting."

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner

Christine Baumgartner (3/4/1974, Pisces Tiger), Kevin Costner (1/18/1955, Capricorn Horse) : The actor and model/designer were together from around 2000 until Baumgartner surprised many by filing for divorce in 2023. They married in 2004 and have three children. Costner said in 2018, "Fear kept me from marrying Christine. I woke up and thought, Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child? That’s all it took. Sometimes you learn the thing you’re most afraid of will save your life."

Rande Gerber (4/27/1962, Taurus Tiger), Cindy Crawford (2/20/1966, Pisces Horse) : The supermodel and business entrepreneur have been married since 1998 and have two children together. Gerber has said about the relationship, "We started as friends and we remained friends. You have to just keep that friendship and fun in the relationship."

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson (5/13/1986, Taurus Tiger), Kristen Stewart (4/9/1990, Aries Horse) : The two actors became household names as stars of the Twilight film series. They dated between around 2009 to 2013, and for a time were one of the most famous celebrity couples in the world. Stewart continues to speak positively about Pattinson and their relationship. She has described: "When me and Rob were together, we did not have an example to go by. So much was taken from us that, in trying to control one aspect, we were just like, 'No, we will never talk about it. Never. Because it’s ours.'"

Jackie Sandler(9/24/1974, Libra Tiger), Adam Sandler (9/9/1966, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been married since 2003 and have two daughters together. About his critically-acclaimed performance in the film Uncut Gems (2019), Adam Sandler said: "My badass wife, she gave me the balls to take the part. I was scared and she said, 'Go [expletive] do that and you can do that [expletive]' and we rehearsed together all the time."

Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder (5/13/1950, Taurus Tiger), Aretha Franklin (3/25/1942, Aries Horse) : The two celebrated musicians shared a longtime close friendship. After Franklin died in 2018, Wonder described visiting during her final days: "[Franklin] wasn't able to speak back, but her family felt that she could hear me, and so I just said all the things that I've always said and told her to say hello to my sister [Renee Hardaway] that I lost this year as well...She was just consistently a great human being, and she always — even with whatever turmoil may have been happening in her life, even through her illness — she did not put that on anybody else. She believed, I think that most of all she was doing God's work, and she was. She brought joy to others' lives, and she will — her voice and the essence of her will long [out]live all of us that are here right now."

Kirstie Alley (1/12/1951, Capricorn Tiger), John Travolta (2/18/1954, Aquarius Horse) : The two actors starred memorably in the Look Who's Talking films and formed a close friendship. Alley described later: "I almost ran off and married John. I did love him, I still love him. If I hadn’t been married I would’ve gone and married him and I would’ve been in an airplane because he has his own plane…He's a very generous person. He's very interested. If you ever talk to John, and this is genuine with him, you will become the most interesting thing that he's ever met in his life."
