The old pickup line, “what’s your sign, baby” makes us laugh. Nonetheless, there’s the question of whether our best matches are truly in the stars. How exactly does astrological compatibility work?

Astrology lists various common traits for the signs. By comparing and contrasting, generalized patterns emerge about which signs interact with each other the best. This provides a framework when you’re considering a potential partner.

Having said that, there are many factors in a person’s chart that can make them far from the zodiac norm for their sign. So when you read about love connections, keep in mind that everyone is unique. What’s provided here are basic concepts, and they are not carved in stone

Cancer

If you’re looking for a match made in heaven, so to speak, Cancer should seek out Taurus. This couple is so sweet they make people go, “awe.” Both signs are homebodies that nurture each other and remain loyal.

A Scorpio pairing is right at the top of the list, too. This is a comfortable relationship from the get-go. As the relationship develops, deep feelings emerge along with a lot of sensuality.

Virgos bring sensitivity to the Cancer match. They’re caregivers who love to tend to their Cancer partner with the language of love being service. Meanwhile, Cancer appreciates the way Virgo figures things out logically.

Libra comes very close to Leo in terms of compatibility. These two have dulcet interactions and love an old-time romance. Put on top hats, tails, and glitter – here they come!

An Aries-Leo match works well, too. In fact, it’s very organic in nature, filled with passion and adventure. When these two put their minds to something, get out of the way.

Virgo

Taurus is one of the best matches for Virgo. This couple lives in a “low-stress” way. Harmony is very important, especially in the home Both signs appreciate beauty in all forms.

Libra

A Libra-Leo match has the potential for being a soulmate. Both signs avoid conflict unless necessary. Both enjoy a little glamor, with a style all their own. As for romance? You bet!

Geminis are great at communicating with Libra. Libras understand that Gemini wants to remain centered and engaged in various ways. There are some hearts and flowers in this connection, too.

The Libra-Aquarius connection is highly intellectual. These are “influencers.” Nonetheless, they enjoy some throw-back styles balanced by just enough rebel-with-a-cause passion to keep things interesting.

Scorpio

The link between Scorpio and Cancer is wholly pleasurable. This couple is psychic, sensitive, and in tune with their feelings. For Scorpio, an intuitive Cancer transforms lovemaking into a spiritual extravaganza.

A Scorpio-Virgo match is fantastic. It’s a calm relationship (and one both signs strive to keep that way). These two are somewhat reserved, but they’re very impressive in positions of power.

Pisces is also a possibility here because of the psychic connection these two signs share. There’s no need for hinting or nudging. Plus, Scorpio gives Pisces the energy to achieve greatness.

Sagittarius

By far, Leo wins this race. When you want happiness, light-hearted living, and a natural way of approaching life, this is the ideal couple. Both love adventures, and never want to stop learning. Sex is fierce and adventurous.

Aries has potential. There is a gentle sort of happiness here. Both people get excited about the other’s plans and support them wholeheartedly. The only caution is that Aries sometimes moves way too fast for the Archer.

Capricorn

In reviewing zodiac signs, Capricorn has a sound match in Taurus. Their connection is peaceful and organic. Both individuals want to do things once and do them right even if it takes more time.

Sagittarius is one of the best matches Aquarius will ever find. These two love working together. They’re honest, and always looking for unique ways of engaging lire.

Pisces

Cancer matches harmoniously with Pisces. The fish is emotional and dreamy, while Cancer gives form and movement to a Piscean’s concepts. The emotion here is great so long as Cancer doesn’t become too bossy.

Scorpio is perhaps the most compatible with Pisces. These two feel everything deeply. They’re both also psychic, so they can’t hide anything from each other. Overall this is a romantic connection.

Finally, Capricorn is in this picture too. Both signs have a foothold in tradition. This paring is educational for both parties.
