Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard: A Cancer and a Capricorn Who Are Honest About All of It

Kristen Bell (Cancer, July 18, 1980) and Dax Shepard (Capricorn, January 2, 1975) met at a birthday party in 2007, dated for five years, and married in October 2013 after same-sex marriage was legalized in California. They have two daughters. Dax has been public about his sobriety and its interruptions; Kristen has been public about mental health. Their honesty about their relationship is unusual at their level of fame.

Cancer and Capricorn: Opposite Signs, Real Foundation

Cancer and Capricorn sit directly opposite each other in the zodiac — opposite signs that share an axis (home and achievement, the private and the public) but express it differently. Cancer builds the interior world; Capricorn builds the exterior one. When these two meet well, they produce a partnership with both a genuine home and a genuine foundation.

Kristen's Cancer is in the warm public persona, the advocacy for mental health and equal rights, and the fierce emotional honesty she brings to interviews. Dax's Capricorn is in the podcast (Armchair Expert, one of the most listened-to in the world), the commitment to sobriety as a lifelong project, and the willingness to be publicly accountable when he's relapsed.
