Many people believe the positions of the planets, stars, sun, and moon when we are born influence our personality, values, and worldview, so it naturally makes sense to assume some zodiac signs are more likely to get along than others. Compatible zodiac signs are not the be-all and end-all, so there’s no need to abandon hope if your signs don’t match up. Ultimately, if you take the time to get to know each other and work on a relationship, you’re not destined to fail because the universe said so. With that said, these are 17 of the most compatible zodiac signs.
1. Cancer and Scorpio
Zodiac signs are the most compatible with other signs from the same element (and the same sign) because they’ll have a similar temperament and outlook on life. So, Cancers and Scorpios work well since they’re both water signs. Scorpios can understand Cancers’ sensitive nature more than others might. However, your moon sign also plays a strong role in zodiac compatibility.
2. Pisces and Taurus
Emotions drive water signs, so they thrive having Earth signs to ground them; this is why Pisces and Taurus are a match made in heaven. These signs are both warm and romantic.
3. Libra and Sagittarius
Libras are rational, composted, and stable but can also be a little laid-back. At the same time, fire signs like Sagittarius are more free-spirited. So, a Sagittarius can show a Libra to let loose now and then while Libras keep their Sagittarius partners from taking things too far.
4. Virgo and Leo
Virgos and Leos are powerful couples if they take the time to understand each other and communicate. Virgo season begins in late August, immediately after Leo. They have some things in common: they’re rational and driven. Leo’s can be pretty proud and in your face so a down-to-earth Virgo takes the edge off.
5. Scorpio and Virgo
Scorpio and Virgo are another example of Water signs thriving with Earth signs. Scorpios and Virgos are compatible zodiac signs because they value trust, stability, and reassurance.
6. Aquarius and Gemini
Aquarius and Gemini have a lot in common since they’re both air signs. They’re both intelligent free spirits who will find it easy to bond with one another.
7. Capricorn and Scorpio
This zodiac pairing appears to be a case of opposites attracting, but they seem to have more in common than meets the eye. Capricorns are seen as more reserved than Scorpios. Although both are slow to trust, they become very close once they bond. They’re both driven, and a Capricorn can help Scorpios control their emotions.
8. Aries and Leo
Aries and Leo are fire signs, so this pairing quickly bonds due to their shared loyalty and passionate nature. Aries is happy with those who are outgoing and willing to try new things, and Leo is always up for the adventure.
9. Taurus and Cancer
Tauruses and Cancers are both shy, so they feel comfortable in silence together. Cancers are good at providing emotional support to their Taurus partner, while a Taurus will provide support in more material ways. Both can be quite loving, though each zodiac sign expresses affection differently.
10. Sagittarius and Aquarius
Sagittarius and Aquarius pairings make the most of life. Both these zodiac signs are passionate, outspoken, and independent, meaning things will never get boring.
11. Leo and Libra
Leos and Libras are both outgoing, romantic, and social, so they immediately click. Leo can teach their Libra partner to go with the flow and be more spontaneous while Libras keeps things from going too far.
12. Virgo and Capricorn
Virgos and Capricorns value logic and stability. So even if this zodiac pairing seems to be moving slower by other people’s standards, they find harmony with each other. Of course, they could sometimes become frustrated with the other’s lack of obvious emotion, so they’ll need to work on this.
13. Libra and Gemini
Libras and Geminis get off to a good start since they’re both air signs. They both always know what to say, so these pairings tend to be flirty, outgoing, and intelligent.
14. Aquarius and Aries
If Aries and Aquarius couples make things work, they make for a highly compatible couple. They’re both fierce, independent, and hold strong opinions, but an Aquarius can help water down some of the fire and passion Aries is known for.
15. Pisces and Taurus
Pisces and Taurus couples are firmly bound by love, romance, and adoration for each other. A Pisces can reveal a softer side of Taurus partners, while Taurus can help Pisces deal with their often intense and sometimes even debilitating emotions.
16. Capricorn and Taurus
Since Capricorn and Taurus are Earth signs, they instinctively have a strong understanding of each other. Their shared values include stability, security, and practicality. This means they have a similar approach to life and important elements like communication and problem-solving. These zodiac signs make a very calm pairing.
17. Cancer and Virgo
Cancers are known for being sensitive, but Virgos have a tender side, too. Initially, Cancers might be put off by Virgos’ rational nature because they’re emotional thinkers and decision-makers. They are devoted and can stay together if they take the time to understand each other’s emotions.
