Love Compatibility and Relationship Advice from the Stars

Astrology is a great way to understand compatibility between people. It suggests that the easiest match for us is someone with the same element: Fire Signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius; Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn; Air Signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius; Water Signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. However, this easy flow of energy between the two people might not spark the passion needed to create chemistry between them.

A more precise indicator places our most compatible signs are two signs away from our own on the zodiac wheel, on both sides. This puts fire signs with air signs and earth signs with water signs, creating very natural and compatible combinations.

With the signs opposite to each other on the Zodiac wheel, they are like night and day in their nature. This might not seem like a match at first glance, but they could grow to love each other as they get to know one another.

Square couples—signs three signs away from our own on the zodiac wheel, on both sides—are the ones that begin with challenging situations but spark love like crazy. However, with constant battles in the relationship, it might not last long or there might be trouble with commitment.

Finally, the signs next to each other on the zodiac wheel, with no affinity to each other's sign. Unofficial statistics show that three out of four couples end up with signs adjacent to each other. After testing this theory multiple times, I have found it to be true. According to an astrologer, it’s the opposite attraction, as the mystery of one another piques their interest and desire to get to know each other.

Love Compatibility List by Zodiac Signs

If you have both of your birth charts, you can delve into a more in-depth assessment of how compatible you two are. Here is a compatibility list to help you compare the two charts. Not just the Sun signs for general compatibilities, but also for the Moon signs which represent the feelings between people, Mercury for communication, Venus which represents the attraction between them, and Mars which indicates their physical chemistry!

Then, there are the signs next to your opposite sign that we call "Inconjunct" or "Quincunx", which don't have any sort of aspect to each other. Does this mean that those signs are unlikely to form a relationship in life? The two signs are unrelated and not likely to gain any interest in one another? Let me know if your relationship signs fall into this aspect; I'd love to hear how it is for you and add it to my personal astro data bank!
