The Most Compatible Zodiac Signs, According to Astrologers

Have you ever wondered if your zodiac sign has anything to do with the success of your romantic relationships? For centuries, astrologers have looked to the stars to determine different elements in our lives, and that includes the fate of our love connections. Since a zodiac sign can point to common traits in your personality, your chart could also indicate what qualities best work with your own to foster love and partnership.

If you're looking for romance, astrologer Colin Bedell advises dating people with signs who sit in direct opposition to yours on the zodiac wheel. These two zodiac positions are referred to as polarities, meaning they are opposites and have the potential for dynamic compatibility. Complementary elements can also indicate a likelihood for love, shares astrologer Lisa Stardust. "These are some of the pairs most likely to come together," she explains.

However, both astrologers make a point to share that anyone can cultivate fulfilling love with any sign. Stardust says, "It’s been my experience as a professional astrologer that all zodiac signs can come together and have long-lasting relationships." Still, Bedell suggests that all of us can benefit from learning about our opposing sign; we can utilize these insights to bring more harmony into every love story we choose to explore.

Want to find out which member of the zodiac might be your mate? Ahead, Bedell and Stardust share which signs are best suited for love and romance together.

Aries and Libra 

Just like striking a match, sparks are bound to fly when fiery Aries and Air sign Libra come together. According to Bedell, if these two are willing to appreciate and learn from their differences, they’ll create an unstoppable blaze of chemistry. Every sign has a planet whose energy influences its behavior, and with independent Mars in charge of Aries and harmonious Venus ruling Libra, Bedell is confident this pairing will “give each other the balance of autonomy and connection” every relationship needs to thrive. Whereas Libra can help Aries become more considerate and engaged in the community, he says Aries will frequently need to remind their Libra love, “Babe, [it’s okay to] take care of you, too.”

Gemini and Virgo

Outgoing Air sign Gemini can find grounding and strength in a romantic partnership with the organized Earth sign Virgo. Meanwhile, a Virgo can loosen up with the help of a carefree Gemini. "These mercurial signs will share laughs and memories throughout the years because they’ll be loyal to the other," says Stardust.

Taurus and Scorpio 

Taurus, an Earth sign ruled by Venus, is drawn to sharing tactile beauty, while Scorpio, a Water sign ruled by transformational Pluto, craves intensity and exploring what hides beneath the surface. As Bedell points out, the contrast here is exactly what makes this particular pairing so ripe for growth. “Scorpio really deals with the reality of pain and pleasure,” he says, and is a fiercely loyal companion in helping Taurus embrace “all of the storms of life [as much as] rainbows and 400-thread sheet counts.” Alternatively, the infectious joie de vivre of Taurus gives Scorpio permission to step out of the ocean and realize how nice it is to just dig your toes in the sand once in a while. Together, this duo can cultivate a lasting foundation that can weather anything.

Libra and Leo

A Libra and a Leo are a dynamic and effortless romantic pairing. "Both zodiac signs have big hearts and love to be romanced, making them cheerleaders of the other," explains Stardust. With Leo's bold personality and craving for the spotlight and Libra's proclivity for balance and beauty, they can complement each other to make a positive power couple.

Gemini and Sagittarius 

An Air and Fire sign pair, Gemini and Sagittarius have all the ingredients for a relationship full of fireworks, foreign lands, and emotional inquiry. What really makes these signs compatible is, ironically, their mutual need for healthy boundaries. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which is the planet of communication and internal evolution. “[They’re] always reinventing and exploring new personas and need breathing room for self-discovery," says Bedell. Meanwhile, adventurous Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius goes outward for a sense of purpose, and requires “freedom to explore, get curious, and live from a place of continually broadening vision,” he shares. This pair really understands and celebrates each other’s need for ever-expanding horizons, and both feel grateful to have a partner committed to wondering and wandering.

Scorpio and Pisces

Zodiac signs ruled by the same elements can easily find themselves on identical wavelengths. That's why creative Scorpio and dreamy Pisces make a great match. Stardust says, "These two water signs use their intuition and imagination to create a mutual understanding that transcends the material world."

Taurus and Capricorn

Earth signs can also find balance and partnership with each other. Steady, luxury-loving Taurus and driven, family-focused Capricorn are a stable and loving match. "Since both of these Earth signs like to have fun, they’ll put work first as well as their obligations but know how to play hard together," adds Stardust.

Aquarius and Sagittarius

Individuality, creativity, and a desire to explore are major facets of both an Aquarius' and Sagittarius' personalities. That's what helps make them an excellent partnership in life and love. As a couple, the two signs are always talking to each other, making plans for the future, and bringing enthusiasm into each other's lives. Stardust says, "This autonomous pairing will enjoy cooking together, watching movies, and making travel plans to see the world."

Cancer and Capricorn 

The only sign to be ruled by the moon, emotionally intuitive Cancer might seem like a more than unlikely match for logical, Saturn-led Capricorn. However, when this set of signs comes together as lovebirds, they create the perfect counterbalance between gentle flow and trustworthy structure. Cancer’s oceanic healing energy finds a perfect companion in Capricorn’s grounded wisdom. “While Capricorn can hold the weight of their deep emotionality, Cancer feels emotionally safe [and is] drawn to their partner’s reliability, discipline, and integrity,” he explains. On the flip side, “Capricorn appreciates Cancer’s generous vulnerability” and feels inspired by them “to step into and show up more fully for their [own] feelings.”

Aries and Cancer

While Fire sign Aries and Water sign Cancer seem like opposites, their two natures are actually quite complementary. Nurturing Cancer is attracted to the confidence of an Aries, while the Ram appreciates the Crab's sensitivity. As a couple, Stardust says, "These cardinal signs like to get projects started and always motivate the other to be the best versions of themselves."

Leo and Aquarius 

When Sun-ruled and fiery Leo joins up with Aquarius, an otherworldly Air sign led by innovative Uranus, a power couple can form. Bedell shares, “What most people don’t know about Leo is that these singular superstars can get a little lonely in their castle and crave both attention and connection.” As a result, they can’t help but “admire how universally adored Aquarius is,” and loves this Air sign’s ability to “show them a whole new [community and] experience.”

Alternatively, Aquarius “appreciates Leo’s fearlessness [and] unshakeable sense of self-worth as amazing tools for liberation.” Recognizing confidence is contagious, Aquarius finds purpose in spreading their Leo partner’s message of self-love.

Virgo and Pisces 

Bedell considers the pairing of Virgo and Pisces unbeatable in their combined ability to heal a hurting world, and these signs are continually moved and motivated by each other’s strengths. While Virgo is skilled in understanding the intimate relationship between the body and nature, Pisces intuitively senses how to read the heart. “Virgo is in awe of Pisces’ transcendent, spiritual nature,” explains Bedell. “Pisces benefits from Virgo’s ability to translate and apply their divine energy here on earth.” This couple hears, helps, and uplifts everyone (and everything) in their path.
