Virgo Monkey and Scorpio Horse

Baz Luhrmann (9/17/1962, Virgo Tiger), Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The actor and director have been friends dating back to their first collaboration, Romeo + Juliet, in 1996. Speaking about casting DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby, Luhrmann described: "[DiCaprio] put me through the hoops in a really good way. It really was about working with Leonardo again and we were always trying to think of something to do and I had to wear him down. [H]onestly, I admire him for that because the thing about Leonardo, I mean he’s a friend, our families are friends, is that he looks for joy in life, but when it comes to two things, acting and the environment, he just doesn’t take it lightly."

Jamie Linden (9/3/1980, Virgo Monkey), Rachel McAdams (11/17/1978, Scorpio Horse) : The screenwriter and actor have been together since 2016 and have two children together. They have maintained almost complete privacy about their relationship. On one occasion, McAdams mentioned that, "We live such a gypsy life as actors, so [it’s great] being with someone who can be on the road as well." During the pandemic, she said their family, "[L]ive sort of out in the country, a little farm down the road, so we can go and look at the animals."

Tim Burton (8/25/1958, Virgo Dog), Winona Ryder (10/29/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The actor and director have collaborated multiple times, including on the films Beetlejuice (1988), Edward Scissorhands (1990), and Frankenweenie (2012). Ryder has famously described how at her first audition with Burton, they chatted without her knowing who he was: "I was talking to someone in the waiting room for a while, about movies and music. And then, after about 30 minutes, I was like, ‘Do you know when this Tim Burton guy is showing up because I may be in the wrong building?’, and he was like, ‘Oh, that’s me’. I had no idea that a director could be so cool and down to earth." More recently, she said: "Tim is so special to me in so many ways and I do feel like I owe my career to him in a big way because of Beetlejuice...He’s a dear friend, a brilliant guy and a brilliant film-maker....It’s been 25 years since I first met him...I’ve always had an almost telepathic relationship with him, where he just has to make a tiny movement and I know exactly what he means."

Richard Gere (8/31/1949, Virgo Ox), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors co-starred memorably in the film Pretty Woman. Roberts has described how she personally pleaded with Gere to accept the role after he turned it down several times: "I just said, 'You have to do this movie. If you don't do this movie and it falls apart and I lose this job, it would just be terrible.'" Director Garry Marshall said in 2012, "[Y]ou can fake anything in this business except chemistry. When two people kiss, the audience knows if there's chemistry or not, and Richard and Julia had great chemistry."

Blake Lively (8/25/1987, Virgo Rabbit), Ryan Reynolds (10/23/1976, Scorpio Dragon) : The two actors have been married since 2012 and have three children together. Lively has described: "[E]verything we do in life we do together. If I’m working on a movie, [Reynolds] helps me with my character; I do the same with him. Picking out a coffee table. What we’re going to eat. He’s a beautiful writer—he’s written a lot of stuff for us. And he’s got a great barometer and he knows me, so he will tell me if it’s not as good as it can be."

Adam Sandler (9/9/1966, Virgo Horse), Rob Schneider (10/31/1963, Scorpio Rabbit) : The two actors have known each other since the 1980s, and have so far collaborated on 18 movies. Asked about their relationship, Schneider described: "Thirty-something years. It’s going on our fifth decade. I think it’s making each other laugh. We still surprise each other, in how we can make each other laugh. It’s always a challenge. There’s a lot of trust. When you’re making a movie, you need to trust the people. Trust is there. You want to be around people who know you and don’t ask too many questions."

Wiz Khalifa (9/8/1987, Virgo Rabbit), Tyga (11/19/1989, Scorpio Snake) : The two rappers are friends who have collaborated multiple times. After Tyga dropped out of the 2014 Under the Influence tour, Khalifa was quoted saying: "We cool, that’s the homie, and that was just a wack move." Tyga tweeted shortly afterward, "@wizkhalifa that's my dawg 4 life." Khalifa later explained: "I wasn't really upset. That's my homie, though, and when you friends, you gotta be able to say stuff out loud like that. [We spoke about it.] He was like, bro, I definitely should have hit you up. I got a little bit busy, I didn't know how to break it to you, so I gotta apologize and man up, and we'll make it right."

Daniel Barenboim (11/15/1942, Scorpio Horse), Jacqueline du Pré (1/26/1945, Aquarius Monkey) : The celebrated classical musicians were married from 1967 until du Pré's death from multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1987. Their marriage attracted controversy, in part because Barenboim reportedly began a hidden family with his second wife (Elena Bashkirova) while du Pré was alive. Barenboim continues to raise money for MS research, and in 2017 described meeting du Pré: "There was chamber music being played and before we spoke we sat down to play together — we played a Brahms sonata — and understood each other musically, perfectly, and then outside of music too...She was [a unique musician,] not exactly very knowledgeable about things to do with music in a musicological or scientific way, but she had an uncanny instinct and quickness of brain that was mind-boggling. She would see a piece for the first time and she was able to not just play the notes but get to the essence of it."

Kevin Costner (1/18/1955, Capricorn Horse), Cindy Costner (10/29/1956, Scorpio Monkey) : The actor and actor/director met in college, before Kevin Costner began his acting career. They were married between 1978 and 1994, and had three children together. During the making of the Costner-directed Dances with Wolves, the two collaborated extensively behind the scenes. Their divorce settlement is one of the largest in Hollywood history. Shortly before their separation, Kevin said: "The temptations are pretty strong—and there’s a hungry world out there waiting for you to fall. So you can’t even dabble without paying a huge price. I try to conduct my life with a certain amount of dignity and discretion—but marriage is a hard, hard gig."

Swizz Beatz (9/13/1978, Virgo Horse), Alicia Keys (1/25/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The record producer and musician have been married since 2010 and have two children. In 2021, Keys described: "I think one of the things we're really good at is giving each other the space that we need. That's not a hard thing for us. And even just being intuitive about what each other needs is also something that comes really fluid for us. We'll always check in and we're always making sure we're good."

Harrison Ford (7/13/1942, Cancer Horse), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors shared one of the famous fictional relationships of all time as Princess Leia and Han Solo in the Star Wars movies. Shortly before her unexpected death in 2016, Fisher revealed in her memoir, The Princess Diarist, that they had an affair while making the first film in the series, when she was 19. She described contacting Ford prior to publication: "I said [to Ford], 'I found the journals that I kept during the first movie, and I’m probably going to publish them...I’ll show it to you before and you can take anything out that you want taken out. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable'...I wouldn’t have ambushed him like that, but it’s still – no matter if I told him or not, it probably feels like an ambush. It feels like an ambush to me, and I’m the one who wrote it." After Fisher died, Ford released a statement saying, "Carrie was one-of-a-kind, brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely...We will all miss her."

Rachel McAdams (11/17/1978, Scorpio Horse), Ryan Gosling (11/12/1980, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors starred together in The Notebook (2004). During filming, tension between the two led to Gosling asking for another actor to read McAdam's part. Director Nick Cassavetes retold: "[Gosling said,] 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?...I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this.'...We went into a room with a producer; they started screaming and yelling at each other...They had it out...I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open. The rest of the film wasn’t smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing." Later the two actors dated for two years between 2005 and 2007, with Gosling saying at one point, "I mean, God bless The Notebook. It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that."

Ted Hughes (8/17/1930, Leo Horse), Sylvia Plath (10/27/1932, Scorpio Monkey) : The writers, two of the most celebrated poets of their generation, were married from 1956 until Plath's death by suicide in 1963. They had two children. The relationship remains controversial due to Hughes' infidelity and posthumous allegations of abuse, which Hughes has denied. Plath described about their courtship: "We kept writing poems to each other. Then it just grew out of that, I guess, a feeling that we both were writing so much and having such a fine time doing it, we decided that this should keep on."

Chris Evert (12/21/1954, Sagittarius Horse), Martina Navratilova (10/18/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two legendary tennis players shared one of the most celebrated rivalries in the history of sports, winning 18 grand slam titles each between 1973 and 1988. In 2020, Evert described their evolution from rivals to friendship: "In the beginning, I was beating her; I was practicing with her; we were playing doubles together. Then she started beating me, and I broke up the doubles, because I felt like I was getting too close. We went our own ways...It really wasn't until the end of our careers, maybe the last five years, that we got along well...Martina is definitely one of my closest friends right now. We have no competition. There's no tension in our relationship whatsoever. It's a freeing kind of a feeling. I can really enjoy her and her personality now and she can really enjoy me.
