From our friends at Hey Pumpkin…
Last week, I talked about the most toxic zodiac couples. And I’ve also talked about the best and worst matches for each sign. But today, we are talking about the best zodiac couples.
I have mentioned before that when calculating your compatibility with a potential partner based on their zodiac sign, it is important to look at their element (fire, earth, air, or water) and their modality (cardinal, fixed, and mutable.)
When finding a compatible partner, you should look for someone who has a different modality than you. For example, a cardinal sign should look for a fixed or mutable sign. You should also look for someone who is the same element as you or has a complementary element. Fire and air signs are complementary and earth and water signs are complementary.
Now, in this article I am mostly focusing on sun sign matches. But keep in mind your compatibility is not always dependent on sun signs. Check out this article to find out how other chart placements play into romantic compatibility. You can check your chart placements here.
So which signs are the most compatible? Let’s dive in!
Aries and Aquarius
How can vivacious Aries and contemplative Aquarius work so well together? Aries and Aquarius complement each other very well. Aquarius is the thunder and Aries is the lightning. Together they create an unstoppable storm. They will never run out of things to talk about because the fire sign is emotionally stimulating and the air sign is mentally stimulating. They are both always up for an adventure.
Taurus and Cancer
This is the coziest match that could ever possibly be made. They both love to create safe spaces. Cancer will give their partner a sense of emotional security and stability. And Taurus will give them a taste for the finer things in life. They both enjoy the little pleasures of life and will be comfortable with each other but never bored.
Gemini and Libra
I hope you like deep, meaningful conversations because this relationship is chock full of them! Air signs are the most communicative signs, so they will never run out of things to talk about. They not only match each other on an intellectual level, they are also very sociable and will love partying together.
Virgo and Capricorn
Opposites can attract, but in this case, a Virgo/Capricorn pairing thrives due to their similarities. I constantly see internet memes that refer to Capricorns and Virgos as partners in crimes. They both have similar values and are incredibly goal-oriented. This is a match made in the cosmos!
Leo and Sagittarius
This is the ideal power couple. With Leo’s charisma and Sagittarius’ animal magnetism, they will wow any crowd that you step into. These fire signs entertain and compliment each other. The mutable sign makes their partner feel alive, and every day with them is a new adventure. And the fixed sign sees their significant other’s endless potential and motivates them to be their best selves.
Scorpio and Pisces
These signs will tend to every one of their emotional and intimate inclinations. They both have powerful needs and desires. Pisces has an intense need for emotional connection and attachment, and Scorpios have an intense need for closeness and sensuality. Both of their watery natures will allow them to enthusiastically meet each other’s needs.
Best Match Runner Ups
Maybe you are a Libra who hasn’t found your perfect Gemini yet. Or maybe you are a Taurus who didn’t connect as well with Cancerians as you thought you would. If that is the case, try these alternative matches out!
Aries and Gemini
Aries are reckless and have a great sense of adventure, so they need a partner who is adaptable. Geminis are able to match their energy perfectly. They are both equally playful and creative. They admire each other’s playfulness and communicative skills. Aries are able to gas their partners up and give them confidence, while Geminis are able to calm their partners down and bring them peace.
Taurus and Virgo
Taurus will appreciate the mutable earth sign’s attention to detail, and Virgos will admire a Taureans zest for life and love of the finer things. Because Virgos are a mutable sign, they will be able to adapt to fixed ways easily. They will both find each other quite easy to get along with.
Cancer and Pisces
Pisceans fit a lot of the above criteria for a suitable Cancerian match, because they are mutable water signs. Cancer’s cardinal modality helps to guide and provide their partners with stability. And Pisces’ mutability will keep their lovers on their toes. You are both water signs, so you’ll connect over compassion and empathy.
Leo and Libra
This relationship provides the perfect balance. They are both incredibly flirtatious, but Libra will not demand all of Leo’s attention. They both like flirting with other people, so jealousy may not be a huge problem. The air sign will provide their partner with a much-needed sense of peace without dimming their shine. And the fire sign will bring so much fun and excitement to their lover’s life.
Scorpio and Capricorn
Remember when I said that water signs and earth signs enrich each other’s lives? This pairing personifies that statement. Scorpios nourish the cardinal earth sign’s inner self. And Capricorns ground Scorpios and give them a stable place to flourish. The earth sign will find them intriguing, and the water sign will feel safe in this relationship.
Sagittarius and Aquarius
Sagittarius and Aquarius kind of rhyme, so they’ve got to be perfect for each other! Well, they are perfect for each other, but the rhyming thing is just a coincidence. Both of these signs thrive on stimulating conversations and adventure. And when I say “adventure,” I mean that in every sense of the word.
