Zodiac Sign Compatibility: Compatible Zodiac Signs
The basics of astrology state that life on the Earth is governed by celestial bodies like stars and planets. There are 12 zodiac signs, each designated to one constellation having specific characteristics and personality traits. These are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. These 12 zodiac signs are divided among four elements; air, water, earth and fire. These elements play an equally important role in determining the characteristics and personality traits of an individual. Since ages, astrology and compatibility issues, both have been subjects of interest for the human race.

Zodiac Signs Compatibility

Compatibility in relationships is about how well you get along with your partner. Zodiac signs give a brief idea about the characteristic nature of the person, thus giving an insight into his life. This makes it easier to determine as to what kind of a person would the individual be compatible with, or in simple words go along with. Horoscope compatibility can help you to find your potential partner, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put efforts into the relationship.

The astrological compatibility between two signs depends largely on their understanding of each other and their willingness to get into a harmonious relationship. Sometimes, two individuals belonging to the same element can end up at loggerheads. For example, in a relationship between Sagittarius and Leo, a check on the ego is necessary on the behalf of both to ensure that a healthy relationship follows. Another normal perception is that two people born under a same sun sign are alike, but this doesn't mean they are compatible. People born under Virgo are regarded as perfectionists, but at the same time they are ardent critics. Therefore it is difficult for two Virgos to cohabit with each other, especially when they are in same profession.

Here is an astrological signs compatibility chart which highlights compatible zodiac signs, incompatible zodiac signs and zodiac signs which may have mixed chances of success.

The zodiac sign compatibility also depends on their element. The 12 zodiac signs are categorized into four elements - earth, fire, air and water.
  • Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
  • Fire signs: Aries, Sagittarius and Leo
  • Air signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
  • Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
An earth sign is highly compatible with fellow earth signs as well as water signs. The enthusiasm of fire signs is too much for earth signs to cope up with, hence they are not considered to be a suitable match. It can go along with air signs, but it will require immense efforts for both the sides. Fire signs are extremely compatible with the fellow fire signs as well as air signs. But fire and water signs can't go along together, water signs being too emotional for enthusiastic fire signs. Owing to their brilliant communication skills, air signs are compatible with fellow air signs, fire signs as well as water signs. But they don't share the same connection with the earth signs. Water signs are mostly at loggerheads with fire signs, but tend to share a harmonious relationship with earth signs and air signs.

It is also important to ascertain the placement of planets like Venus and Mars to get accurate zodiac compatibility results. Individuals born in adjoining sun signs can complement each other well through the Mercury and Venus links which they share. And lastly, just because the sun sign appears to be incompatible, it doesn't mean that a relationship is not possible at all.
