Compatibility report based on their zodiacal signs meanings Libra and Libra
In love. Both of these people are filled with energy and both are over demanding of one another which will make this relationship a very exhausting one for the two Libras involved. They treat each other passionately. They have a lot in common. They are cheerful, and easy-going. They also love harmony and beauty. But the severe reality interferes anyway. Neither one nor another wants to realize the facts. Their biggest problem may be unresolved conflicts, as neither wants to stir the pot when differences appear. Their life together is likely to be hectic and they will spend more time with others than they will with each other. The connection can be interesting while the marriage requires maturity.
In business. Forming a business, or working for one, that deals with human services is quite possible for a pair of Libras. Making it work financially is another matter, however-this duo will be more successful as part of a team, the other members of which can supply the practical skills they lack.

Douglas Jnr. learnt about filmmaking whilst on location with his father, working as an assistant on 'Lonely Are The Brave' in 1962. He turned down the chance to study at Yale, in order to take drama at the University of California - where he and Danny Devito were roommates.
His film debut was in the Vietnam film 'Hail Hero!' in 1969, followed by another Vietnam role in 'Summertree'.
After some time in TV, Douglas wrangled the film-rights for 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' from his dad, and produced the 1975, five-Oscar-winning classic.
Returning to acting, he appeared in and produced 'The China Syndrome', before really hitting his stride in the 1980s with 1984's 'Romancing the Stone'. Featuring old friend Devito and Kathleen Turner, it was a hit, as was the sequel, 'The Jewel of The Nile'.
In 1987, Douglas played against Glenn Close in the paranoid thriller 'Fatal Attraction'. A massive hit, Douglas followed it with a performance in Oliver Stone's 'Wall Street' the same year, for which he earned his first acting Oscar.
Reunited with Turner and Devito for 'The War of the Roses' in 1989, his production company also produced 1990's 'Flatliners', and 'Made in America' in 1993.
In 'Basic Instinct' (1992) and 'Falling Down' (1993), Douglas specialised in darker characters. However, following flops such as 'The Bomb' and 'The Darkness', he returned to producing, overseeing the John Woo film 'Face/Off' in 1997.
Critically acclaimed in 'Wonder Boys' and 'Traffic' in 2000, he married his co-star, the Welsh actress Catherine Zeta Jones. His new production company was behind 'One Night At McCools' in 2001.

Catherine picked up the 'entertainment' bug at an early age, having joined a local dance group. Her first break came when she was 14, thanks to Mickey Dolenz from 60s group, The Monkees. The band had a habit of recruiting local children to help form the chorus of their show, and producers were so impressed by the young Catherine that they cast her in a touring production of 'The Pyjama Game'.

At the age of 15, Catherine had left school and was London bound, in search of fame and fortune. A slice of good luck saw her stepping into the limelight in the musical, '42nd Street', when both the lead and understudy were hit by illness and Catherine undertook the part. This chance caught the attention of the show's producer, David Merrick, who promptly gave her the lead full-time, a role she performed eight times a week for nearly two years.
Catherine's TV break was in the romantic and hugely popular, 'The Darling Buds Of May', alongside David Jason and Pam Ferris. The success of the show turned her into an overnight star favoured by the tabloids for her on-screen and off-screen affairs.
An unsuccessful stab at a recording career did little to dent the plucky Welsh starlet's confidence. Having moved to the States, Catherine's film career began to take shape. A couple of early duds - 'Splitting Heirs' & 'Christopher Columbus' led to 'The Phantom', 'The Mask Of Zorro' and 'Entrapment'.
In August 1998, Catherine met film legend Michael Douglas and the pair began dating a short while later. After a celebrity packed wedding that led to a court battle with Hello magazine, the couple now have two children, and divide their time between their homes in the US, UK and the Caribbean.
Catherine's biggest career triumph was winning both an Oscar and a BAFTA for her role in the film version of 'Chicago'.
