Which zodiac signs are compatible?

    Astrology can offer valuable insight into how different zodiac signs match in love. Some combinations create natural harmony and deep understanding, while others bring bigger challenges. Here you'll find a complete guide to which signs complement each other best, based on the qualities of the elements, the influence of the planets and each sign's core personality traits.

    How we calculate zodiac compatibility

    The match is based on the angle between the signs in the zodiac – the same principle as the test above. The tables below show exactly the same results as the test.

    • Trine (120°) – 92%: Same element — the most harmonious combination. You share core values and ways of feeling, and the relationship feels natural and safe.
    • Sextile (60°) – 84%: Compatible elements that stimulate each other. Conversation flows, you inspire and encourage one another, and the bond feels easy and friendly at its core.
    • Same sign (conjunction) – 80%: You recognise yourselves in each other. Understanding is immediate, but you also amplify each other's weak spots — consciously give each other room to be different.
    • Opposition (180°) – 76%: Opposite signs attract like magnets. You mirror and complement each other — the balance between closeness and independence is the key.
    • Semi-sextile (30°) – 62%: Neighbouring signs: very different temperaments and perspectives. It takes curiosity, but can become a relationship where you constantly learn from each other.
    • Square (90°) – 55%: Tension and friction — the same modality but clashing elements. Strong attraction and passion, but also power struggles. The bond can grow deep if you learn to handle conflict.
    • Quincunx (150°) – 52%: You share neither element nor modality. It calls for adjustment and compromise, but can become a fascinating bond where each fills in what the other lacks.

    The opposite sign (opposition, 76 %) and the same sign (80 %) also bring strong attraction – with a little more work.

    How the elements affect each other

    • Fire + Fire: Two fire signs bring energy, passion and spontaneity — just make sure you don't burn each other out.
    • Earth + Earth: Two earth signs build stability and security together, but need to create romance and excitement deliberately.
    • Air + Air: Two air signs meet in ideas and conversation — remember to talk about feelings, not only thoughts.
    • Water + Water: Two water signs create deep emotional understanding — be careful not to amplify each other's worries.
    • Fire + Air: Air feeds fire: the air sign brings ideas, the fire sign brings drive. A lively, inspiring combination.
    • Earth + Water: Water brings earth to life: the earth sign offers security, the water sign emotional depth. A nurturing combination.
    • Fire + Earth: Fire and earth: enthusiasm meets patience. Fire may find earth slow; earth may find fire impulsive.
    • Fire + Water: Fire and water: passion meets sensitivity. Strong attraction, but fire can hurt and water can dampen.
    • Air + Earth: Air and earth: ideas meet practicality. You can achieve a lot together if you respect each other's pace.
    • Air + Water: Air and water: logic meets feeling. Air needs to listen with the heart, water to put feelings into words.

    Your sun sign is only part of the picture: A lower sun-sign match doesn't mean a relationship won't work. Friction often creates attraction and growth, and 100 % doesn't exist in serious astrology. Your real bond is decided by the whole birth chart – the Moon, Venus, Mars and the ascendant – which AstroCorex™ calculates exactly in the full synastry.

    Zodiac compatibility is only one part of love's complexity. These astrological insights offer valuable guidance, but successful relationships are built on mutual respect, communication and genuine care. Your birth chart contains far more than your sun sign, and a full astrological analysis considers your Moon sign, rising sign and planetary placements for a more complete picture.
