Zodiac Sign Compatibility

Find out the best and worst matches for your sign.

When it comes to perfect matches, there are none. Many astrological influences (planets, aspects, etc.) make up a person. One sign can’t define an individual. And you can choose to spend the rest of your life with anyone you wish; it’s just a matter of what you want to put up with. However, one thing I’ve learned is that there are obvious energy synergies and clashes between signs, and using astrosexology as a guide map can allow one to test the waters fairly accurately.

Approach these “best and worst” matches as a general probability. In my line of work I always tell people to keep this information in mind but be open to trying it all. After all, you never know when you will be the exception to the rule.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Best: Libra. You’re a hothead. When it comes to helping you cope, Libra, the sign of harmony (and also your opposite and complementary sign), can bring out your best side while helping keep your not-so-nice personality traits at bay.
Worst: Taurus. You live fast. Taurus is the slowest, most methodical sign. Put you two together and it’s Aggravation 101. It’s the kind of relationship that would grate on your last nerve.

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
Best: Scorpio. Your downfall is complacency. However, Scorpio, the sign of mystery and intensity, knows just the way to motivate you. He can lay on the passion that inspires you and also makes you feel secure.
Worst: Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the sign of freedom, which makes him out of control and active. While you’ll admire this side of him, you’re way more about planning than being spontaneous.

Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Best: Sagittarius. You’re the most curious sign of the zodiac. For you, love is about finding someone who can keep up with you mentally and physically. The best is your opposite, Sagittarius. As represented by the Centaur, he’s the sign of spontaneity and your ultimate fun-time partner-in-crime.
Worst: Capricorn. If there is one sign that loves to stay home and take inventory of their sense of security (a concept foreign to you), it’s Capricorn. With this said, know it’d be close to impossible for the two of you to ever make paradise on earth together.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Best: Taurus. You’re two domestic creatures who love to feel the security of being committed. In love, you both focus on the familial bonds, and growing them long and strong. Together, you make an invincible team.
Worst: Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of aloofness, while you are the sign that tends to be more possessive of lovers. If each of you tries to wrangle the other into your world, a clash of epic proportions is destined.

Leo (July 23- August 22)
Best: Sagittarius. You’re two fire signs that live to conquer the world. While there might be a struggle for the spotlight, you both also like challenges — making this a passionate relationship that is also really satisfying.
Worst: Scorpio. Although the chemistry is hot and irresistible, the battle for control is endless. And with you two approaching it from such different angles — Leo is upfront, while Scorpio is secretive — this is a match that takes too much work and could end up getting ugly.

Virgo (August 23- September 22)
Best: Scorpio. Neither of you likes loose ends; you both crave definitive answers, a timeline and results. Having all this in common, mixed with that “to the point” sex you both prefer, makes for a relationship that might leave you marveling at how perfect perfection can be.
Worst: Sagittarius. Sagittarius is great to invite your party if you need a hopeful monologue, but that’s where it ends. This fun-time boy will infuriate you with what you’ll interpret as his lack of discipline. While he does have his own concept of self-control, it won’t mesh well with yours.

Libra (September 23- October 22)
Best: Libra. No one will get you like one of your own. You’re both the sign of partnership, arts and taking your sweet time. While same signs always make a good match, two Libras are the best of the pairings. Sharing the same outlook and way of living, this is the ultimate pairing.
Worst: Virgo. You hate schedules, and when you have someone rigid like Virgo dampening your vibe, you won’t find too much love for him. He might be good on paper, but when it comes to just trying to relax around him, you’ll find it impossible.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Best: Pisces. As water signs, you both have a way of seamlessly blending with one another emotionally. You’ll feel as if you have a telepathic connection. However, it’s your ability to pretend and create an escape route from reality into fantasyland that bonds you two together as soul mates for life.
Worst: Aries. You hate demands. Aries loves to bark orders. Initially you’ll listen because the sex is hot, but in time his ego will make you want to kill. Save yourself the drama; don’t take it too far with the machismo-ridden Aries, despite his charm. For the long term, this one runs out of gas.

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21)
Best: Aquarius. Your freedom is everything, which means you need someone with his own life — voila, air sign Aquarius. He’s the most aloof sign of the zodiac and is also mentally driven. Between the life-changing conversations and the space to think about them, he offers a bond that is your idea of true love.
Worst: Taurus. Taurus’ favorite pastime is going to his favorite restaurant, getting his favorite dish and then coming home and vegging out. To you, this would be torture if it persisted for more than two nights. You thrive on change and new experiences — the very things Taurus abhors. Together, you’d only grow bitter fast.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Best: Virgo. Logical, earthy and efficient describe the two of you best. Put your heads together and as a couple you can run the world! You can also generate tons of cash — which is romantic perfection for both of you materially driven signs.
Worst: Gemini. You like organization, but not cleaning up messes. Gemini won’t need you to trail him, but with the nutty-professor way he works, you won’t understand his methods and will feel the need to change him. Basically, it’s the beginning of the end as soon as you meet.

Aquarius (January 20-February 19)
Best: Sagittarius. You’re mentally driven and do better in a group than one-on-one. Sagittarius is the same, and because of this, you two will work splendidly as a social team and can easily find a way to balance intimacy without cramping each other’s style. Bliss all around!
Worst: Cancer. Feeling tied down drags you down. Sure, you like to be close to the one you’re with, but Cancer’s possessiveness makes you feel like you’re in a choke hold. While this attention might lure you in for a little while, in the long term it’s a recipe for disaster.

Pisces (February 20-March 20)
Best: Scorpio. It’s 24/7 love when it comes to pairing up with a Scorpio. Not only are the sex and romance intimate and fairy tale–ish, but you two also have a way of looking out for each other and knowing what the other needs without even asking. It’s easy and ridiculously romantic.
Worst: Virgo. Although Virgo is your opposite sign and can be a very good match for you, the chances of it not working out are also high. You could feel too controlled and won’t like having to play by the rules too much. You might admire Virgo, but somehow shacking up with him won’t be as appealing once the honeymoon phase is over.
