Compatibility and Zodiac Signs: Around the Circle by Thirds

When learning about the zodiac signs, compatible combinations are important to assist in astrology counseling, or for your own information. Finding a compatible mate is never simple, but using Astrology to find what zodiac signs are best matched can make it easier. For purposes of romance, let's look at Moonsigns. These are some of the most variable from person to person and as the Moon rules emotions, knowing one's Moonsign will help you understand what is vital from your heart to theirs.

For instance, in determining compatibility through zodiac signs, a person born with their Moon in Cancer (aka Moon children) is easily driven to tears. Cancers cry when they're happy, wail when they're sad and whimper at everything else. Which is all well and good, provided the Cancer in question is with another, equally sentimental and emotional sign such as the highly compatible Libra, because they will 'know where Cancer's coming from'. Heaven help the Moon Child who weeps before a more stoic sign, like Capricorn or Virgo. They simply will not know how to deal with the waterworks, and Virgo can get downright annoyed because there is no base zodiac compatibility.

Conversely, someone of the more 'serious', earth-bound signs, like Taurus, will surely baffle sentimental Aquarius or moon-struck Cancer, who won't know why their Bull-friend never shows his cards (and always wins at poker). Using the zodiac to determine compatible relationship can save you a lot of grief if you know from the beginning what the base emotional need of each sign.

The Fire Signs of Leo and Aries can leave a delicate Piscean feeling like they've been hit by a truck or drive a Libra crazy with their aggressiveness and forward pushing ways. Compatibility within these zodiac signs is not likely unless there are some strong mutual planetary configurations, especially in the 7th house. This trait in both Leo and Aries delights Sagittarius. Geminis are usually intrigued by both signs forming a kind of mutual admiration society when they get together and usually these zodiac signs can be quite complementary.

A good rule of thumb when charting for compatibility is this. Start at your sign and then every fourth sign on along the ring of the Zodiac is likely a good match. For instance, Virgo pairs well with Taurus and Capricorn. Libras mesh delightfully with Aquarius and Gemini. Every fourth sign share their Element, as well. See how Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn are good matches with one another? Could be because they are all Earth signs, with at least one foot on the planet and the other firmly planted in mid-air at all times. This is a good basis for charting basic zodiac compatibility.

Let Astrology guide you toward true love. Your connection with another zodiac sign is written in the stars.

From what I have seen on this web site, I love it. It has been very imformative. What I would like to know though is the following. I am a Libra. I am involved in a serious relationship with a Gemini. Are we compatable? We were friends for a long long time before we actually admited to each other that we were interested in more than friendship. I would just like to know if the wait has been worth it.

Hi, Quiana. I don't recommend that you look at any two astrology sun signs to determine compatibility. There's much more in an astrological chart beyond the two person's sun positions, including rising sign, moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury...etc. Plus, some we can express our personality attributes well, not enough, or too much. Best to add more detail, in my view.

I have a serious problem, I am in love with a Gemini and I am a Cancer he is driving me crazy. Is there anyway that this relationship can work?

Hi, Kim. Congratulations on being in love. Sure, there's a way your relationship can work. First, remember that his Gemini and your Cancer are only your Sun Signs. There's *much* more to each of your charts than just the natal placement of your suns. My question for you: Do you share many of the same core values? "Values" meaning what the two of you feel is most important in life.

I'm a cancer in love with a cancer. Do you think this will work?

 
By Kirk VandenBerghe

Hi, Marie. Sure, why not? You both just need to work the higher intentions of you Cancer sun signs, which will yield a lot of caring and love. And remember, the position of your other planets, in signs, in houses brings much diversity to your astrology charts. I have my Sun, Venus, and Uranus in Cancer. A key is to use our sensitivity as a positive, uplifting force in the world to heal and nurture others through the heart, and to release any dead emotional baggage we're dragging around.

I was wondering how much Scorpio and Aquarius are compatible? We have totally clicked, but I was wondering about problems in the future. I have read that Scorpios and Aquarius often butt heads at some things and don't understand each other, but I need something a little more in depth. Please! Thank you!

I am a Taurus. Taurus people are very emotional when it comes to relationships. Me, I am very out going. I am not shy when it comes to guys, but I have gotten nervous around this one guy that I am in love with. So you guys that are a Taurus, hit me up and tell me what you think about my situation. The guy I am in love with is a Taurus. Was that why we had so many problems?

Hi there, I'm born on a cusp so it's hard for me to take some of the horoscopes seriously, because I can't always subscribe for both. When I do get both they just don't combine what's so ever. I'm a Pisces and Aries combination, and I have troubles meeting and dating. I'd really like to know what signs would bring the best out of me? Obviously this could be a stupid question, but I'd like to know your opinion and your point of view. Thank you.

I'm an Aquarius and have met a Virgo, I know they're not listed as the most compatible. Are they some where in the middle, or are they not recommended.

Hi Ambre. Capricorn and Cancer are indeed opposites but that does not mean that you are not soul mates. Capricorn can teach Cancer to be realistic in views on life and not get hung up on emotions alone. Cancer can help Capricorn stop working long enough to relax and enjoy life a bit. These two can come together to form a strong committed relationship. You both may well be soul mates.

So, my boyfriend Daniel is a Capricorn and I'm a Cancer. Every site I have looked at says that they are zodiac opposites! Which completely gets under my skin because, I fully believe we are soul mates. Whats your opinion?

My fiance and I struggle often with our relationship and our personalities especially when it comes to our children. I know I love him with all my heart and he loves me just as much, but I also love my children with all my heart. I tend to give more to the children, because they are dependent on me. But I'm fearful I will loose him because of this. Is there anyway we can make this work, or should we just stop now so we don't continue to hurt each other? Many of our personalities or so opposite?

I am a cancer and my soon to be fiance is an Aries. We are so in love and rarely ever fight. Does this mean we are compatible or just lucky so far? Is marriage the right way to go?

My birthday is Jan. 26, 1985 I was wondering if I would be compatible with a male that was born Oct. 31, 1984. I have known him for sometime now. I was just wondering if it was possible to start a relationship.

I am engaged to be married on November 1, 2008. I am just wondering if my fiance and I are compatible. It does seem like we are. He takes care of me and is good to me. We do have our arguments, like every couple. I guess I am wondering, because my life has been one train wreck after another, and I want to make sure this is the one. I feel like we love each other very much, so I guess I just want to know to make sure its real.

I too am born on the cusp of two signs. I'm September 23rd, and find that I have many traits of both a Virgo and a Libra. How do I know who I'm compatible with?

I am a Gemini and my new significant other is a Virgo. We sometimes clash, because I am very straight-forward and aggressive. Sometimes I tend not to think about what I say before I say it. He is very forgiving, and I'm just wondering if this relationship has a chance?

Hi Angel, a Gemini can help the Virgo think in more creative terms and the Virgo has a steadying influence on the Gemini. The Virgo needs to be careful of being too critical and the Gemini needs to understand the Virgo's need for structure and planning in order for the relationship to work.

Hi i just wanted to know how compatible are Fire and water. He's a Scorpio and I'm an Aires.

Hi Angela, It would be a fire and water relationship that would never be dull. Just be careful of how a Scorpio might want to always dominate things as they are very forceful and so is an Aries. The Scorpio would have to have great trust of his Aries partner and the Aries would need to regularly let him know that he is her one and only love.

Am I,Leo Compatible with Virgo?

 
By Dee
2008-07-15 17:55:41
 

Hi Jezza, Leo is pretty strong willed and opinionated and likes only the best. Also a bit of adventure is just what is needed to liven things up. With a Virgo, planning, and frugal living is the name of the game. A Virgo may not think what a Leo wants to do is the right thing and will be cuttingly blunt about it. Be prepared to develop a thick skin on your emotions. However, you must realize that the sun sign is only one part of a person's chart.

How compatible are Libra and Capricorn I am a Libra woman involved with three men who are all Capricorns. This has been going on for about six weeks. I seem to be very attracted to this type of man right now. My last boyfriend was killed in an accident and he was a Gemini. Why am I attracted to men who seem to be totally opposite to the way he was?

I am a sun cancer, moon Aries, Virgo rising female. I'm in love with a male Sagittarius with moon Aries, asc unknown. The double fire is scaring me a bit, but do you think there's a possibility our moon signs can work together?

Hi friends, my daughter is Scorpion with AS and Nord Lunar Node in Pisces and she is in love with a man with Sun, Moon and AS also in Pisces. Do you think that it is a good compatibility between them?

Hello, I'm an Aquarius girl. I met a Sagittarius boy a couple of years ago while visiting a mutual friend. Our initial encounter was brief but we had a mutual sense of understanding of each other. We kept in touch with sparse emails, because we lived in different parts of the country. This fall he decided to leave the country all together to go on a great adventure. He's been hopping from country to country for a while in central and south America. We've kept in touch but it wasn't a consistent sort of communication until about 3 months ago. He dropped me a line on my birthday and we've been having great email conversations talking about nothing and everything. Through these conversations, I've realized that he is actually one of the few people that I am really in sync with. There is an easy understanding between us, and a lot of similar interests and point of views. For example, we share a thirst for independence, and seek to pursue a simpler and more altruistic lifestyle. While traveling, he has been involved with NGO projects in some very poor countries and believes in sustainable developments as much as I do. We are becoming really good friends despite the physical distance between us, and I'm personally growing to love him on a deeper level, which is unusual for me. I usually don't get attached and tend to pursue a light relationship with friends and people I date a like. I'm realistic and know that even though we are growing to really know each other, we won't be able to start a relationship as a long distance relationship. I'd like some insight on how compatible would be if we were to decide to pursue a relationship. What are the chances of us having a long lasting one, because even though I have a strong thirst for independence, I'm at a point in life where I am not interested in casual dating. I'm not looking to get married tomorrow and not even really sure if that is really something for me. At the same time, I'm not looking for flings either, and I'm concerned about the fact that we are both very independent and freedom seeking people. We might not be able to sit still long enough to nurture a long term relationship. Any thoughts? Feel free to comment.
