When it comes to finding compatibility between you and your significant other, there is a lot to consider, but finding what’s written in the stars to see how you and your partner will thrive or potentially clash is one way to make sense of what’s in store for your relationship. From your zodiac sign, you’re able to learn about and understand your strengths, weaknesses, and even the way you communicate—all of which are put to the test when you are involved with someone. Finding compatibility between two signs can be more than just determining whether or not you romantically align; it can even be an indicator of a strong platonic relationship or if you’ll find yourself at odds all the time.
It’s important to note that every person’s birth chart is unique and not created equally. When determining your true compatibility with your partner, you need to look beyond your sun sign. However, if you have yet to hit your lover with the “what time were you born?” text to collect their full chart and deep-dive into where your future lies with your person, having each other’s sun sign is a great place to start! Here’s what you’ll be able to gather from someone’s sun sign:
The sun sign, which is an astrological sign that almost everyone knows about themselves, is based on the sun’s position at the time you were born. In other words, you can gather someone’s sun sign simply by asking when their date of birth is. The sun sign is your identity. It reveals who you really are and where your values and goals are rooted. It can show you how you express yourself, and even help to determine your life path.

What you need to know about the Elements
Each element (earth/air/fire/water) can be compatible with each other. For example, you’ll notice all the fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are compatible with each other. Here’s what you should know about each element overall.
Practicality is the most common trait of earth signs. All three earth signs have a strong career focus, and they’re often described as being grounded. You can expect a slow-burn relationship with an earth sign. They’re often focused on bettering themselves, so they want a partner who doesn’t involve much extra work to make them better too.
Social butterflies are an air sign. They are a solid pair because of their natural friendliness and romantic nature. However, their inability to commit and flightiness make them difficult to attract and keep.
The fire signs are fiery. In love, they’re often intense and look for people who can match their energy. Someone who is shy or reserved can make a fire sign feel exuberant, but someone who can keep up while also bringing them down to earth will be a great pairing.
If you’re looking for commitment, look for a water sign. They’re emotional and demonstrative, and they look for the same in love. A water sign looks for someone who will bring them out of their shell but also isn’t afraid to get deep.
The Best Relationship Pairings
It’s basically love at first birth chart reading.
Typically, fire and water aren’t the best match, but Sag and Cancer have the perfect blend of each characteristic to balance each other out and bring out the best in each other. Cancer’s emotional nature inspires Sagittarius to slow down and be more demonstrative, and Sag encourages Cancer to be their silly selves.
Taurus, ruled by Venus—the planet of love and pleasure—will appreciate Scorpio’s sensuality and passionate nature (a recipe for a great sex life). Scorpios will also appreciate the security Tauruses bring. Both have a zest for pleasure, so expect extravagant, fancy dates you’ll never forget about.
Leo provides the passion and energy needed for a relationship, while Geminis bring joy and youth. This dynamic will never feel boring and will keep you feeling fresh. Because Leos like to be at the center of everything and Geminis love to chat, this mutable sign does a great job of making Leos feel seen, and with patience for Geminis to express themselves, Leos can help Geminis sit in their feelings, even if it’s just for a little bit.
Virgo tends to be a bit reserved, as they’re often in their head about figuring everything out and being a perfectionist, but the expressive nature of Pisces gets them out of this headspace and reminds them to have fun.
The Best Friendship Pairings
Every iconic bestie pair is shaking.
Libra is the right person to be with Aries because Libra can keep up their constant need for change. As besties, you’ll both enjoy getting out of the house and exploring—never wasting any time. Charming Libra is the perfect wing-person for an Aries who’s otherwise on the aggressive side.
This pair is proof of opposites at work. Capricorns are independent and prefer to march to their own beat, while Aquarians value freedom. Capricorns are strong and will help others. Aquarians are very selective in who they keep within their circle. But, Aquarians can make it work because of their creative nature.
If there is anything these two signs value above all, it’s trust, and that is something that this relationship will never struggle with. There is a mutual understanding with this duo that doesn’t need to be explained. Scorpions are aloof and deeply emotional, while Virgo is ruled Mercury, the planet of communication. If there’s one sign that can get the mysterious fixed sign to open up and talk, it is a Virgo. On the flip side, Scorpios are looking for something deep and stimulating, and if there is one sign that can make Virgos feel inspired and excited about the world around them, it’s a Scorpio.
Taurus, of all the earth signs is the most open. Geminis can benefit from this. They’ll bond over their love for the finer things, and Gemini will always have the hot goss ready to go. Taurus will spend most of their time at home and Taurus will be grateful to have a friend who understands their homebody tendencies.
The Most Exciting Pairings
We’re not saying you can’t make them work, but it might take a little extra effort.
The emotional nature of Cancer might make it seem like the perfect pairing for the social Aquarius, but together, they’re not able to give each other what they need. Aquarians need a lot of freedom; they’re creative and a little woo-woo (um, hello, it It is Harry Styles’ sign after all). Aquarians will feel trapped if they don’t get more from Cancer.
Some might argue that Virgo is the antithesis of Sag. Virgo is more calculated and spontaneous while Sagittarius can be spontaneous. Sagittarius is punctual, Virgo is always late. They’ll disagree on the most principle of things, like timeliness, organization, and productivity. If you want your opposite around to inspire you to lighten up or tighten the reigns, then this might be a good pairing, but overall, you’ll likely just annoy the sh*t out of each other.
Aries and Pisces have different ways of showing love. Pisces, on the other hand, is very involved and needs to show and experience love often. Aries isn’t committed and shows love with big gestures or in small moments.
Some might consider a Capricorn a long-lost fire sign, but that doesn’t mean you should run into the sunset with a fire sign, Cap. Capricorn is a planner who finds joy in the mundane planning stages. Leo however, wants to get going right away. But at the very least, you’ll likely bond over your very lofty career ambitions, so there’s that.
