Astrology may play a part in your relationship compatibility. If you think astrology is all nonsense, then feel free to skip this blog. But maybe you’ll understand why your relationships keep failing. Are you possibly dating people with incompatible astrological signs?
Let’s start with the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water.
Fire Signs:
Aries (March 21 to April 20), Leo (July 24 to August 23), and Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21) are all fire signs. These signs are adventurous, passionate, and spontaneous. Picture a fire burning down a building. It waits for no one and boldly breaks down walls that are in its way.
Earth Signs:
Taurus (April 21 to May 21), Virgo (August 24 to September 23), and Capricorn (December 22 to January 20) are earth signs. These signs are dependable, stable, and trustworthy. Imagine planting a seed in the ground and watching it slowly grow into a beautiful flower.
Air Signs:
Gemini (May 22 to June 21), Libra (September 24 to October 23), and Aquarius (January 21 to February 19) are air signs. These signs are known to be social, intellectual, and analytical. Air is all around you and wind blows in all directions, so these signs like to be where the action is.
Water Signs:
Cancer (June 22 to July 23), Scorpio (October 24 to November 22), and Pisces (February 20 to March 20) are all water signs. These signs are emotional, intuitive, and nurturing. A body of water can be calm and soothing, but it can suddenly become unpredictable and wild in certain situations.
Astrology and Relationship Compatibility
In most cases, your best match for a relationship is someone who has the same element but a different astrological sign. For example, Aries is most compatible with Leo and Sagittarius, and then third on the list is an Aries being with another Aries.
Your next best match is the sign that’s opposite yours, meaning six months later. These signs balance each other out, so any traits that you’re lacking will be found in your opposite partner.
Aries – Libra
Taurus – Scorpio
Gemini – Sagittarius
Cancer – Capricorn
Leo – Aquarius
Virgo – Pisces
Fire and air signs are very compatible because they help each other out. A fire needs air to survive, so, as an example, a Leo and Libra will usually get along and have a happy relationship.
Earth and water signs are also compatible because they need each other in order to exist. It’s impossible to have a body of water without the earth, and the earth needs water to feed it and help it grow. Capricorn and Pisces would make an excellent team and have a solid relationship.
Astrology and Relationship Incompatibility
In general, everyone has three signs that they’re highly compatible with, three signs that they’re mildly compatible with, and six signs that are not the best matches for them. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. If you’re on the cusp of a sign (for example, your birthday falls between November 20-25), you may have traits of both Scorpio and Sagittarius. Therefore, you could be a great match for practically every sign!
If you envision the elements, you’ll understand why they don’t always get along. Fire burns earth, and water puts out fire. A passionate fire sign can destroy the stability of a solid earth sign. An emotional water sign can ruin a fire sign’s spirited energy.
Earth and air signs can get along side by side, but they don’t really need each other. In fact, they may end up ignoring each other over time. Air and water signs are incompatible because both elements are necessary to exist, but not at the same time. You breathe air and drink water, but never together.
Who are you compatible with?
Being in a healthy, happy relationship takes lots of work and effort. You can’t assume that everything will be great just because your astrological signs are compatible. It’s important to assess whether you have similar relationship requirements, values, and life goals. Astrology is fun to learn about, but it’s not the most reliable way to decide if you’re compatible with your partner.
In case you’re still confused, this is the order of your most compatible matches in astrology:
