Zodiac Compatibility

This is Astrology Club’s guide to Zodiac Compatibility, teaching the astrology basics on how well a person might match up with another according to their Zodiac signs.

Compatibility of Zodiac Signs

Astrology may well hold the key to your future happiness in love. Are you one of the feisty fire signs, such as Aries, Leo or Sagittarius? Or are you an emotional water sign, like Pisces, Scorpio or Cancer? Basically, the position of the Sun at the time of your birth decides what star sign you have. You will relate differently to potential romantic partners depending on the compatibility of their own sun sign with your sun sign.

One of the most important uses of the signs of the zodiac is to determine if two people are compatible, by studying the zodiac signs they were born under.

People who trust in Western astrology play great attention to the compatibility between people as indicated by the signs of the zodiac of their birth. The 12 signs of the zodiac are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

Western astrology associates character traits, both positive traits and negative traits, with people born under each zodiac sign.

Western astrology holds that the character traits for each sign of the zodiac determine if two people are compatible. People who trust in this form of astrology often consider the compatibility of their zodiac signs before committing to a romantic relationship or to a business relationship.

Select your Zodiac Sign and see who you’re compatible with.

Because of the nature of the signs, some have a natural affinity with each other while there are areas of conflict between others. These relationships between the signs of the zodiac also have a bearing on personal relationships. Comparing charts to see how well people get on with each other can be very complicated as all the planets in the signs, houses and their aspects with each other need to be taken into consideration. However, it is possible to compare Sun Signs for a fun look into love-relationships and friendships. Here’s the easiest way to do it.

Zodiac Signs Compatibility Between The Astrology Elements

Understanding the zodiac signs compatibility and the matching between zodiac Signs requires a basic knowledge of the elements in astrology.

In the relm of zodiac compatibility, it is good to know your elemental type. Each zodiac sign belong in one of four elements: Fire, Earth, Air or Water.

• The Fire zodiac signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. People born under a Fire sign tend to be ambitious, enthusiastic, with a passion for life. They can spark into action, but they have a tendency to be impulsive. People born under a Fire sign may also have a positive, give-it-a-go attitude to life.
• The Earth zodiac signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. People born under an Earth sign are practical, loyal, and self-restrained. They have a very grounded outlook on life. People born under an Earth sign are apt to be skilled at evaluating situations due to their level-headedness and ability to think logically.
• The Air zodiac signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. People born under an Air sign are good communicators, they are polite and kind, they are what are called “people people”. People born under the Air signs are ideas-people who enjoy getting things started.
• The Water zodiac signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. People born under a Water sign have great emotional depth, they are intuitive, sensitive, and complex. People born under a Water signs are also apt to be family oriented, they may crave security. This person is also apt to allow his/her heart rule.

To work out how a sign will match to interest another, first consider how the elements blend in nature, Think then about what each element represents.

Fire– represents drive and ambition, courage, enthusiasm, adventure, resourcefulness, daring, thrill-seeking, energy, passion, impulsiveness, a zest for life, exuberance and that have-a go outlook to life.

Air – represents, communication, cordiality, kindness, a people person. Changeability, restlessness, logic, open-mindedness, tolerance, cleverness, versatility, curiosity, freedom, independence, flirtatiousness, playfulness, elusiveness, gentility, light-heartedness, cheerfulness, and that play-it-by-ear outlook on life.

Water – represents emotional depth, sensitivity and complexity. Intuition, imagination, inspiration, creativity, spirituality, family orientation, a need for emotional security, compassion, empathy, sensuality, nurturing, understanding, caring, powerful desires, sentiment and the tendency to live life from the heart.

Which Zodiac Sign Is The Best To Date?

The most advantageous match for a sign is with one of the same element:

• Fire with Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius)
• Earth with Earth (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn)
• Air with Air (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius)
• Water with Water (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces)

However, a complementary match is the next choice as indicated below:

Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) and Air Signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) Compatibility
Fire’s drive and energy burns brightly with Air’s intelligent ideas. Meanwhile, Fire’s zest for life where combined with Air’s playfulness can result in great times together.

Earth (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) and Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) Compatibility
Water feels supported by the stability and constancy of Earth. While Earth is nourished by the emotional warmth and caring of Water.

What It Means If You & Your Partner Have Incompatible Signs?

Thinking about dating outside your own race or religion or maybe within your own sex? No big deal.

But think twice if you dare to stray outside your astrological element. Or are you doing that already? Find out why it’s such a struggle and what you have to learn.

We are most comfortable in our own element but we can get quite stagnate there as well. We grow more outside our element but it doesn’t come without growing pains.

Find your element then read how each of the other elements will push you right out of your safety net and just maybe bring out the very best in you!

The Question is: Do You Want Comfort or Challenge in Love?

Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) and Earth (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) Signs Compatibility
The combination Fire ambition and the organization of Earth will often result in material success. However, there can be clashes in the ways both signs go about it.

Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) and Water (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) Signs Compatibility
There will be hot steamy passion between these two, but some very emotional clashes too. When an energetic and opinionated fire sign gets together with a water sign, they need to be careful that one of them does not drown out the enthusiasm of the other.

Dreamy Pisces, sign of the fish may just be too deep and emotional for Leo the lion, king of the jungle. The lion may want to roar his way through life, leaving a pride of devoted women in his wake, and the Pisces girl may be left gasping for air, wondering what happened to her fiery prince.

Sometimes a compelling Scorpio, who has a magnetic and powerful personality even though they are in a water sign, can get together with a fire sign without being burned.

Or maybe a sensitive Cancer, sign of the crab, may find that this time water and fire definitely doesn’t mix, unless they meet a particularly thoughtful and fiery mate. Astrologically, Cancer makes a brilliant mother, and Leo makes a brilliant father, so this may be one way they can get it together and make it work.

Earth (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) and Air (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) Signs Compatibility
There’s a mental meeting point here and these two will respect each other. But Earth can feel uncertain with air’s changeability and unreliability, and Air can find Earth “a stick in the mud”. The other astrology twosome that can find it hard to work romantically is that of the earth and air signs. If you are an imaginative air sign, then a down to earth, practical earth sign can seem a bit dull.

The intellectual air signs of Libra, Gemini and Aquarius are filled with imagination, and often their creative brains can be a little disappointed in the practical attitude of the earth signs of Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo. Look a little further however, and air signs will find that while they have been busy fantasising about a romantic dinner for two, the practical earth sign has already booked a table at the best bistro in town.

Air (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) and Water (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) Signs Compatibility
With Water’s imagination and Air’s ideas, these two will have big dreams together. Air’s need for emotional space can make Water insecure, and Water’s need for closeness and reassurance can crowd Air.

There are a number of other ways in which the signs can be grouped together, one of which is to consider whether they are positive or negative.

Positive signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius) are extroveredt, confident, optimistic and full of fun. There is a natural harmony between these signs.

Negative signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces) are more introverted. They take life very seriously and are in tune with their inner selves. They prefer small groups of people to crowds and are likely to be in touch with nature.

Again there is a natural affinity between these groups of signs.

Looking Beyond Sun Signs Love Compatibility

To learn more you need to look deeper at the position of the planets and Moon when both of you were born. Some planetary aspects are significant for friendship or romance. When a chart comparison is done between a man and woman the first thing an astrologer looks for is aspects between the Sun in one chart and the Moon in another. This usually signifies a deep and meaningful friendship. For romance the planets involved are Mars and Venus. A good aspect between these two planets usually signifies a romantic relationship which in time can lead to marriage.

Although there are other factors to consider in a chart these are the most significant. So even if your Sun Signs are not compatible the Sun – Moon, Venus – Mars aspects can have an over riding influence here.

The saying that, “good marriages are made in heaven”, makes sense when we look at astrology and the way it reflects our earthly needs.
