Zodiac Signs and Romantic Compatibility

Western astrology groups the 12 signs into four elements, and compatibility is usually explained through them.

The four elements

  • Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
  • Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
  • Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
  • Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Traditional matches

Signs of the same element are said to understand each other easily. Fire and Air are said to energise each other, and Earth and Water are said to nurture each other.

Opposites

Signs six apart, such as Aries and Libra, are opposites and are said to attract while challenging each other.

Keep it light

Astrology is a tradition, not a science. See the full chart on Zodiac Love Compatibility.
