Astrological compatibility between sun signs can be a powerful part of creating some of the most long lasting and harmonious relationships. 

While it’s possible to make just about any zodiac combination work with time and effort, some combinations may feel a bit like playing on easy mode. Let’s explore why.

How To Measure Zodiac Compatibility

There are many ways to look at zodiac sign compatibility. The polarity of a sign, its positive or negative alignment, the elemental association of a sign, being either air, water, fire, or earth, as well as its modality, either fixed, cardinal, or mutable, can all play a large role in how two Sun Signs will connect.

Fire signs are passionate and energetic, air signs are curious and social, earth signs are steady and hardworking, and water signs are emotional and intelligent. 

Cardinal signs tend to be leaders and innovators, fixed signs are stubborn and sturdy, and mutable signs are flexible, go-with-the-flow types. A negative polarity means that a sign is more likely to direct their energy inward, while a positive polarity is more likely to direct that energy outward. 

There isn’t an exact algorithm to what makes the most sense, for instance earth signs are often drawn to other earth signs, but can find deep growth from other elements. 

A fire sign might be seeking someone with the same adventurous and fiery spark, but are also often drawn to their opposite, air signs. Similarly, a fixed sign might enjoy the stability of another fixed sign, or they may clash in their stubbornness. Likewise, a mutable sign might be drawn to the leadership aspect of a cardinal sign, or they might find more ease and flexibility with another mutable placement. 

Compatible Zodiac Sign Matches

There are many more variables that affect zodiac compatibility — depending on the sign, the house it falls in, and of course, the person as a whole. However, there are some zodiac combinations that seem to be common and stable over the long term, as they complement each other in unique and important ways.

Here are some of the most compatible zodiac sign combinations. 

Aries and Virgo: Opposites Attract

Aries is a fire sign, with a fixed modality and a positive polarity. It’s the first of the zodiac signs in the wheel of the year, and is known for being youthful, energetic, and curious. A positive polarity contributes to their passionate and outgoing energy. An Aries is willing to stand up for what they believe in and grab life by the horns. 

Virgo is an earth sign, with a mutable modality and negative polarity. Virgo is a hardworking, caregiving, and meticulous sign, but their mutable nature offers a bit more flexibility than you see in other earth signs. Virgos take pride in their work and their space, as well as their appearance. They like the prestige that comes with earning your place high up in the ranks 

At first glance these two signs may seem to be total opposites, but finding a balance between the two can create one of the most rewarding relationship experiences. An Aries partner can bring deep passion and a sense of playfulness to their Virgo lover, while the Virgo can offer structure, stability, and patience to an Aries to help them bring their passions and desires into the material realm. If these two can find a way to meet in the middle, they have the potential for some of the most passionate and expansive love out there.  

Taurus and Libra: Luxury and Comfort

Taurus is an earth sign with a fixed modality and a negative polarity. Fixed signs are known to be stubborn, but Taurus is also supportive, and creative. Their negatively aligned polarity means their energy is often focused inward, and they enjoy making inviting and cozy personal spaces for themselves. 

Libra is an air sign with a cardinal modality and a positive polarity. Cardinal signs are often natural leaders, and a positive polarity can create an energetic and extroverted personality. They are known for being social and flirtatious, wonderful hosts, and good listeners. 

Both Taurus and Libra love little pleasures, they are both interested in creating a harmonious and beautiful space to live and work in. Both Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus, and embody some of her energy. This is a couple who will treat each other, who enjoys giving and receiving gifts, and who can turn anything into a romantic date even if it isn’t glamorous or expensive. 

Libra and Taurus are good listeners and Taurus can offer Libra a sense of structure while Libra can offer Taurus a variety of new experiences. They will have to watch out for potentially different social batteries, as Taurus needs more alone time than Libra, but their potential for romance and marriage is high. 

Cancer and Pisces: Emotional Connection and Support

Cancer is a water sign with a cardinal modality and a negative polarity. Cancers are emotional, empathetic, and romantic. They are known for being good friends, and bad enemies. Often stereotyped as overly emotional, they can sometimes turn that energy inward due to their negative polarity and instead become calculated and self serving. 

Pisces is a water sign with a mutable modality and a negative polarity. They are the oldest sign on the zodiac wheel and carry with them all of the knowledge of the cycle itself. They are emotionally intelligent, big dreamers and creative. However, they can sometimes have self-sacrificing traits that create problems in relationships. 

Cancer and Pisces are both emotional, big-feeling water signs. Since they both have negatively aligned polarities, they tend to focus their energies inward, and are always looking at themselves and the impact they have on others and the world as a whole. 

These are two signs who will make space for the other to feel everything they need to feel. If they can remember to help pull each other out of their internal struggles and spirals, they can have a romantic and beautiful relationship where vulnerability is appreciated. 

Leo and Aquarius: Attention Seeking and Flirtatious

Leo is a fire sign with a fixed modality and a positive polarity. Leos are energetic, loyal, and have immense star power. They are known for being the life of the party, as well as being strong supporters of the people and things they believe in. They can have a tendency toward selfish and self-serving behaviors if they don’t keep themselves in check. 

Aquarius is an air sign with a fixed modality and a positive polarity. Aquarians are unconventional, creative, and interested in the things they don’t know and don’t understand. Ruled by both Saturn and Uranus, they offer an interesting blend of traditional hardworking values with a more esoteric and unique approach to life, but may find it hard to listen to authority or take advice. 

Both Leo and Aquarius are positive, fixed signs who value loyalty and excitement. They’re both interested in thinking big and living out life by their own rules. They both have a strong vision and are willing to put in the work to bring it to life. While both can be a bit stubborn and might have a tendency to feel “right” in disagreements, if they can learn to meet in the middle, beautiful things are possible. 

Sagittarius and Gemini: Intellectual and Adventurous

Sagittarius is a fire sign with a mutable modality and a positive polarity. Sagittarius is known for being adventurous, creative, and talented. They can sometimes be a bit flighty, disliking routine or things that don’t reward their sense of adventure. 

Gemini is an air sign with a mutable modality and a positive polarity. Geminis are curious, open minded, and great at debate. They don’t tie their ego into their ideas, and as such are always looking to expand their current mindset. They are social and energetic, but can be prone to gossip and a bit flighty.  

Both Sagittarius and Gemini are mutable signs, and they enjoy broadening their horizons. Sagittarius might prefer to do it physically with travel or activity, while Gemini prefers to do it intellectually with games, information, and puzzles. 

Air fuels fire, making it bigger, and this is a classic combination of two people who can be explosive when together, and keep each other on their toes. Since both tend to get bored easily, with enough open conversation and foresight this couple can enjoy spicing things up and keeping things fresh regularly. 

Scorpio and Capricorn: Loyal and Committed   

Scorpio is a water sign with a fixed modality and a negative polarity. Scorpios are known for being intense, secretive, sensual, and passionate. Their loyalty and affection run very deep. 

Capricorn is an earth sign with a cardinal modality and a negative polarity. Capricorns are known for being hardworking, stable, paternal, and ambitious. They’re good at getting things done and seeing things through to completion. They can be intense and serious, but also deeply creative and willing to try new things when it seems like it will get results.

A Scorpio and Capricorn couple is very loyal, intimate, and serious. This is a pairing who opens up slowly, but once they do they open up completely. Capricorn can offer Scorpio safety and security, and Scorpio can offer Capricorn depth and intensity. 

Together they have the potential to make it long term, as long as they’re willing to be vulnerable and work through bumps in the road without anger or defeat. 

Finding Your Zodiac Soulmate

Ultimately, any zodiac sign combination has the potential to be powerful and offer new and unique perspectives on life. Additionally, a person’s Moon, Rising, Mars, and Venus Signs can all contribute to potential compatibility.
