What do you think?
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.
I think this is funny because I am a Virgo who has the best sibling relationships ever with my brother and sister who are twin Capricorns. My dad is a Cap too. Great rapport with Virgo/Cap. Never dated one though.

Aquarius (January 20-February 19)
Best: Sagittarius.

I don't get along with Sagittarius romantically nor I believe every Aqua has married only with a Sagittarius ?

I know a few female Virgo/male Caps that work. I don't think the opposite work out very well
romantically.
I can't imagine a Sag being the best match for a LEO.
Well, not me, anyway-- due to the rest of my chart.
Some are pretty interesting, though-- the few that are opposing-- wouldn't have thought of that.

smile
I think it has so much to do with your chart. I'm a watery/earthy (muddy) Gem. I'm soooo very attracted to Caps and Virgos but either they're a blast to be around or very, very boring! I find myself attracted to a Taurus every now and then as well...
In the end if a man is not overly jealous, intelligent, can discuss a variety of things (has to be able to keep up with me) and make me laugh...we'll hit it off no matter what his sign is.
I didn't write it LOL! Thought it was interesting. I'll bet other sites say something different... As I said before more about what's in your chart than anything else.

Of course.
However, don't you find it odd that Sagittarius is the favored sign for relationship and 4 whole zodiac signs were absolutely ignored (or unlisted) in this article?

Yes, I guess as a Gem I just can't get along with anyone...doomed to be alone foreverrrrrrrrrr! LOL!
wow! only LIbra gets to marry their own

You know the interesting thing?
Most of the Aquas I know (not many though) are in relationships or married to Geminis. I rarely meet married Sags, actually. Then again, I know very few Sags.


Interestingly enough I WAS married to an Aqua! Would have worked had he not decided he wanted
to save the world instead of his marriage. Ah such is life... I read so much here about how
it's so hard to tie down an Aqua man--I've dated 4 or 5 married the last one--and they all chased
me! Smitten with me in a short time and chased me for quite a bit too... I just don't see the
mystery...

I think Aquas and Gems are better than Libra/Gemini personally.

Dated a few Libras too...one I'm still friends with after 20+ years... Thing about Libra males
in my experience--they're controlling/smothering. To a Gem that's like death. LOL!

That is precisely why aquas prefer gems over libra and vice versa. Libras are made for cancers. Lol.
Taurus has great potential but I don't feel its "best" for a Cancer. Love them though.

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.



Knows just the way to motivate? Almost the opposite, well, personally. We either gift each other with the best laughs of our lives or we drain each other. They're huge homebodies, current 4 ones in my life at least. Always with some excuses for staying in. Too lifeless to motivate this pleasure loving Taurus.
Capricorns and fellow Taureans make me wanna get stuff done and feel great about doing it. Libra males, Virgo females and Leos. A Pisces and an Aries. Cancer and Scorpio suns I know tend to make me feel mentally tired. I don't know how and why my closest friends always tend to end up Scorps, I guess opposites attract regardless. But I sure need time to recharge my batteries in company of earth or air before hanging out with them again.

I'm going to take it that you're being sarcastic. If you're not I have to say Of COURSE I'm talking about the Libras I HAVE experienced--which are quite a few. So no--I'M not high; are you?

Aqua's have a high divorce rate, Libra's are the sigh of partnership.
Libra's need a considerate partner. Not Aqua. I could see why it wouldn't work.
This does not make them perfect for Cancers though.
We are talking two different natures to make it long-term.
In the beginning it feels perfect but once the air nature and water nature collide it's splitsville.
This list is too general for me to agree with it.
In fact I find it a bit offensive.
Not necessarily on Aquas, but URANUS transits in the chart YES. that makes sense:
http://www.cosmitec-astrological-compatibility-advice.com/divorce-horoscopes.html

Uranus transits the 1st or the 7th house in the natal chart or the marriage horoscope. This transit often points to divorce horoscopes. Transiting Uranus is the most disruptive planet, able to break up any bonds.

also:
http://www.cosmitec-astrological-compatibility-advice.com/divorce-research.html

In Conclusion:
If you want to check in a reliable way your chances of a lasting love relationship, consider the ratio between harmonious and disharmonious aspects. You MUST have more harmonious aspects than disharmonious ones.
However, too much of a good thing is seldom good too and this is confirmed in this divorce research study also.
If you happen to have too much harmonious inter-aspects, the relationship may become boring and dissatisfying, eventually resulting in a divorce too in the long run.
So, you do need harmonious aspects, but also some challenging ones to get the relationship (and love) going (and growing).

Ok...
From my limited experience....
Aries and Gemini always get along great in my experience. I know several successful Aries/Gemini marriages. Also, Aries and Aquarius because they are both so independent. Aries and Taurus, I'll agree, are one of the worst matches. Especially Aries female and Taurus male. She will be way too pushy, bossy, and impulsive for him. He will be too boring, conservative, and homebound.
Sag and Taurus actually works well if the Sag is ready to settle down. Sags crave the stability and faithfulness that Taurus brings after they have travelled the world and slept with half of it, only to come home empty-handed. Scorpio and Taurus is more about animal magnetism, but there isn't really long term compatibility, especially if they meet while younger. Capricorn and Taurus is a great match if the two can ever meet. I agree that, on paper, Sag and Gemini would seem like a really fun partnership.
Scorpio/Pisces never seems to work. I've seen some Cancer/Libra relationships actually work. Libra won't allow Cancer to be as emotionally selfish and manipulative as they might get away with in other pairings. Libras are good about creating boundaries. They don't take any shit from their partners. Cancer seems to be attracted to Libra's cool way of carrying themself, and Libras do seem to be able to avoid offending Cancer's sensitive nature moreso than other signs. Ultimately though, I think Cancer has no really good matches other than another Cancer. They can both baby each other in a way no one else will. Libra/Libra is a great match; I agree there.
I've never seen a Leo/Sag couple. I've always wondered who would be a good match for a Leo. Every Leo relationship I know, except for one Leo/Cap, is a disaster, and it usually seems to be the Leo's fault. Capricorn is another sign that doesn't seem to take peoples' shit in relationships, so Leo can't pull off its dictatorial one-sidedness as easily. I think Leo needs a really strong intelligent partner to win their respect as their royal equal, and not fall into the role of servant/admirer.

I vehemently disagree that Libras were made for Cancer. In fact the exact opposite is true. I find that Libra's were made for Virgos. Both seem to be loose on the morals.
Not that I can say that for all Libras or Virgos, but that's my conclusion from reading these boards.


3/4 of the people on these boards have loose morals, including quite a few cancers...we all know how you feel about libras and virgos, enough already!! lol but you are right, cancers are not at all for libras for about a million reasons.
i guess this is really supposed to work though.i ran the birth date of a cancer man i knew on the cafeastrology compatibility chart, and it basically said we'd be a perfect match, but i find him nauseating in real life. lol i just can't see it. and my cancer girl friend was dating one of the shittier libra men and it ended pretty badly. she's one of the good cancers/people too.
i disagree that we'd be good with aries people...might be good for them but not for us. libra/libra can work but personally, our men are too frustrating. Lots of water in my chart so maybe that's why.

this is all absolutely true of my friendship with a cancer woman, but it seems like it would be much more difficult with the men.

Male Cancers are not quite as manipulative as female Cancers. Firstly, the females generally don't even know how, or that, they are manipulative. They just feel things and these things seem true to them. Until life serves them enough lemons, their crybaby state of consciousness that they spend their younger years in doesn't have the impetus to reflect on the emotional state, and analyze it objectively - determining whether or not their reactions are justified, could they be projecting based on past damage, subconscious or conscious, etc.. Libras are really good in all these areas so they are a big help here, especially because Cancers tend to copycat their partners to an extent.
The male Cancers have an advantage in being reflective/objective, as they spend their adolescence already repressing and fighting against a good portion of the overpowering emotions. None of that is too healthy and you'll get an occasional DJ, but it does allow them to wield at least a *little* more control over them, and get to a more objective place where they can compromise better in relationships, at an earlier phase in life.
Just my thoughts....

Didn't help Bonnie (Libra) and Clyde (Aries)...lolm
God damn loners at heart, no love for Taurus.
