A frequently asked question that I get when it comes to romantic compatiblity is what is the most compatible sign for each sign. In my previous article, I wrote about which planets and houses are important in looking at compatibility. https://thyminhpham.com/2018/08/20/planets-and-houses-to-look-for-in-astrology-when-it-comes-to-romantic-compatibility/ In this article, we will look at the elements. There are four elements in astrology and they are earth, water, fire, and air. Astrology is complex and in compatibility it is much more than your sun sign. I will simplify and go through which elements are most compatible. In astrology, if you stay within your element, this is considered to be the “most ideal” situation. So for example if you are an air sign, the most ideal pairing would be with another air sign. Next in line for compatibility if you don’t stay within your element, is the complimentary element. The first complimentary pairing elements are earth and water. Earth signs are Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo. Water signs are Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio. The second complimentary pairing elements are fire and water. Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Air signs are Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra. An interesting aspect to take note is opposite signs tend to have a magnetic attraction to eachother and opposite signs are where the elements are complimentary. An example of an opposite pairing is Aries and Libra. Aries is a fire sign and Libra is an air sign.
To be clear, it is “ideal” to either stay within your element or be with a complimentary element sign. To go even further, you need to look at more than just the sun sign. Looking at your moon and Venus is actually more accurate than looking at your sun sign. I will say that even if the sun signs may not seem compatible, when you look in other areas of the chart, you will almost always see why the couple is attracted to each other.
