Love is, without a doubt, on our minds this time of year. Whether you’re in a long term committed relationship or daydreaming about a crush, astrology can explain a lot about your compatibility with your partner. Although your unique birth chart is the most specific indicator of your personality type, with more specialized information such as your rising and moon signs, your sun sign is generally the most telling aspect of your chart. The sun sign is the zodiac sign you likely already know you are because it is based off of the day you were born. Starting with Aries and ending with Pisces, the sun signs span approximately a month of time, each of them with their own unique set of characteristics. These qualities are generally very telling of how compatible you are with the other zodiac signs. Below are the power couples of astrology. These are the pairings of signs that complement each other perfectly, which ensures a strong foundation for a relationship. So grab your zodiac sign and see who, according to astrology, is your ideal match.
Aries & Sagittarius
Aries: March 21 - April 19 | Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
Due to their driven and courageous nature, Aries are natural leaders in both work and relationships. As a fire sign, Aries shine when they can show their ambition off in a positive way. However, this competitive nature can be overbearing for a more sensitive sign such as Cancer or Capricorn. Aries needs someone who shares their honesty and optimism, but who can also encourage them to be more spontaneous. Sagittarius is a fellow fire sign, and shares Aries idealism and impulsiveness. However, their carefree spirit helps calm Aries who can often be headstrong. Many Sagittarius and Aries romances are built on strong friendships because they bring out the best in each other, which provides them with a strong foundation for a successful relationship in long run.
Taurus & Capricorn
Taurus: April 20 - May 20 | Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
In contrast to the fiery nature of Aries and Sagittarius, Taurus and Capricorn are both earth signs, grounded in pragmatism and stability. Capricorn is an incredibly ambitious sign, whereas Taurus is very relaxed. However, when Capricorn’s pessimism shines through, Taurus’ stability and loyal nature is incredibly comforting to them. And, while the classic stubbornness associated with Taurus would annoy an air sign such as Libra, Capricorn embraces their passion. In fact, Taurus’ unwavering dedication to their beliefs often compliments Capricorn’s ambitious nature, all in all, making a well-rounded pair.
Gemini & Leo
Gemini: May 21 - June 20 | Leo: July 23 - August 22
The key to a Gemini and Leo partnership is that they both value being social. Leos need the opportunity to utilize their charm and charisma in social situations, which is nicely complemented by how easygoing and adaptable Geminis can be. Similarly, just as Geminis value intelligence, Leos are highly ambitious and crave achievement. However, when Gemini slips into their impulsive and unreliable tendencies, Leos are always there to ground them, as they are known for being fiercely loyal. When brought together, a Gemini and Leo couple is often the life of the party.
Cancer & Virgo
Cancer: June 21 - July 22 | Virgo: August 23 - September 22
Possibly considered an unlikely pair, Cancer and Virgo are quite different in nature, but can complement each other nicely in a relationship. Cancer is known to be nurturing and sensitive, however because they care so deeply, they can often shy away from relationships if they fear they will get hurt. Hence, Virgos’ reliability and kindness is incredibly comforting to a Cancer. Conversely, Virgos often struggle with being overly critical of both themselves and others. However, with Cancer’s gentle and compassionate nature, Virgos are reminded to take it easy. Overall, a Cancer and Virgo partnership can often be a give-and-take sort of relationship, but if they can communicate clearly, they perfectly complement one another.
Libra & Aquarius
Libra: September 23 - October 21 | Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
Both air signs, Libra and Aquarius are a mix of both similarities and differences. While they share the same idealism and thrive in social settings, Libras’ need to fit in is often challenged by Aquarius’ fierce individualism. However, the classic indecisiveness Libras are known for is complemented by Aquarius’ self-assuredness, providing Libra with the balance they crave. And when Aquarius’ unwavering independence can otherwise lead them to solitude, Libra can bring them closer to others in social situations. Furthermore, Libras’ dedication to fairness is highly compatible with Aquarius, who are known to identify with humanitarian causes. So, while the success of a Libra and Aquarius relationship can be attributed to the fact that they balance each other out, their key similarities give them a strong foundation for when their differences get out of hand.
Pisces & Scorpio
Pisces: February 19 - March 20 | Scorpio: October 22 - November 21
Pisces and Scorpio challenge each other in a healthy manner. On the surface, Pisces’ gentle and compassionate demeanor could not be more different from Scorpios’ who come across as passionate and stubborn. However, Scorpio is fiercely loyal, and once you befriend them, they are there for you for life, which is incredibly comforting to a Pisces who often fears they are too trusting of others. Additionally, when Scorpio is jealous and stubborn, Pisces can offer a wise piece of advice that will bring Scorpio back down to earth. And when Pisces fall into their closed-off tendencies, Scorpio will draw them back out with their loyalty and bravery. Hence, creating a relationship that balances itself out.
