Zodiac Compatibility

Zodiac compatibility, also called synastry in astrology, examines how well two zodiac signs interact based on their elemental nature, modalities, and traditional astrological relationships.

The Four Elements

Signs of the same element tend to understand each other naturally:

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Passionate, energetic, enthusiastic, spontaneous. Fire signs are dynamic and motivated by inspiration.

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Practical, grounded, reliable, sensual. Earth signs are stable and motivated by material security.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Intellectual, communicative, social, detached. Air signs are mental and motivated by ideas.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Emotional, intuitive, sensitive, nurturing. Water signs are feeling-oriented and motivated by emotional connection.

Compatibility Patterns

Highly Compatible (Same Element)

Signs of the same element naturally understand each other's core motivations and approach to life. Fire with fire, earth with earth, air with air, water with water.

Very Compatible (Complementary Elements)

Fire and air complement each other (air feeds fire). Earth and water complement each other (water nourishes earth).

Challenging (Conflicting Elements)

Fire and water can conflict (water douses fire). Earth and air can conflict (earth grounds air too much). These combinations require more work but can be rewarding.

Special Aspects

• Opposite Signs (180°): Often attract with complementary qualities (Aries-Libra, Taurus-Scorpio, etc.)
• Square Signs (90°): Challenging but growth-oriented relationships (Aries-Cancer, Leo-Scorpio, etc.)
• Trine Signs (120°): Easy, harmonious relationships (same element signs)
