Zodiac Sign Compatibility: Complete Guide to Finding Your Perfect Match
Astrology can reveal a lot about how different zodiac signs interact with each other. Understanding sign compatibility helps not only in romantic relationships but also in friendship, family dynamics, and business partnerships.
What Determines Zodiac Sign Compatibility?
Astrological compatibility is based on several key factors:
1. Sign Elements
The twelve zodiac signs are divided into four elements:
- Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) - passionate, energetic, spontaneous
- Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) - practical, stable, reliable
- Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) - intellectual, communicative, flexible
- Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) - emotional, intuitive, sensitive
Golden Rule: Signs of the same element usually understand each other well. Fire harmonizes with Air, and Earth with Water.
2. Sign Qualities
Each sign belongs to one of three qualities:
- Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) - initiative-taking, leaders
- Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) - stable, stubborn
- Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) - flexible, adaptive
3. Aspects Between Signs
- Trine (120°) - most harmonious aspect
- Sextile (60°) - favorable aspect
- Square (90°) - tense, but can stimulate growth
- Opposition (180°) - opposites that can complement or conflict
