Horoscope Compatibility

Finding someone who is compatible with your astrological sign is what horoscope compatibility is all about. In astrology, people of the same sign are usually the most compatible, but there are other factors to look for as well. There are four elements in astrology, and each of these has three signs.

• Earth: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
• Fire: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
• Water: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
• Air: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius

People who share your sign or have a sign of your element are your best matches. For example, if a Cancer were looking for horoscope compatibility, the first place he or she should start would be with Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces. This is because signs within the same element share the same sort of character traits and life views. It is very easy to develop and maintain a friendship with someone in your own sign or element.

How is Horoscope Compatibility Determined?

Certain elements also pair well with certain others. Earth is compatible with Water, and Fire is compatible with Air. People in any of the signs of the compatible elements would also make good matches for friendship or romance. They are similar enough to be compatible but different enough to make a relationship interesting and exciting.

You can determine your horoscope compatibility with another person in other ways, too. For example, take the numbers of the signs of you and your partner, starting with Aries as 1 and ending with Pisces as 12, and subtract them. If the answer is 3 or 9, this is one indication of a difficult match. Also, when one partner has a Sun in his or her Birth Chart at a 90-degree angle to the Sun's position in the other's Birth Chart, this means that compromises will have to be made in the relationship. In addition, the aspects between each partner's Moon and Venus can be an indication of a successful relationship if they are close to each other. According to astrologers, this signifies a happy marriage or a true friendship.
