How to analyze sign combinations?
Each sign has its own unique characteristics, flaws and desires. Some signs look for opposite characteristics in relationships, which can naturally hinder the relationship, while others, on the other hand, look for similar aspects and grow together, forming the perfect combination.
To analyze the combinations, we need to take into account these unique characteristics of each sign and its elements, since this also affects the behavior of the native. Thus, it is possible to better understand the synastry between the two individuals.
Combinations of signs based on the elements
The elements dictate some basic characteristics of the signs, which will be shared by all who have it in common. Due to these similarities, it is possible to get an idea of compatibility knowing only the element of each sign.
Earth Sign Combination
Naturally, earth signs are compatible with each other, which means that Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus get along very well. These natives are known for being "down to earth", and seen as cold (some more than others).
Because both partners have similar characteristics, there should be no major conflicts of ideas or habits during the relationship, as there would be if someone in the couple was fire or air, for example.
So, simply put, earth natives get along very well with others of the same element. There are some variations, but this is a good, simple rule to follow.
Water sign combinations
Water people: for some, great lovers, people who give themselves body and soul to their partner. For others, whiny, jealous and possessive. Water people need someone who will either accompany them in all their drama of life, or simply not feed their drama.
They are very emotional people, and they usually get along well with other water signs because they have a mutual understanding. There may be some difficulties when relating to fire and air natives, but luckily the sign is not the complete birth chart.
Fire Sign Combination
Fire people are intense, but not in the same way as water people. These natives are impulsive, they want to do everything, meet new people, go to parties, and do everything they have the right to do. If other signs live, fire natives live twice as much.
It is very good when fire people find this willingness to experience the new in their partners. Like all signs, they get along very well with people of their own element.
Air Sign Combinations
Perhaps a pattern can be seen here, but air signs are very fond of each other. These are the intellectuals, the artists, and the "difference-makers". Always searching for new subjects, air natives need a partner with the same thirst for knowledge as them.
Air and earth are not the best possible combination, because they are completely opposite in their way of thinking. For the rational and methodical earth sign, the air native is very dreamy and artistic. Other than that, all other combinations are valid.
Earth and water sign combinations
Have you ever heard the phrase "opposites attract"? Well, it's almost as if it was made to talk about the combination of earth and water, which are opposing elements in the zodiac. When these two individuals are together, their characteristics offset each other.
The patience and ability to analyze the situation of the earth native, together with the intense emotions and romanticism of the water native, are capable of forming a very harmonious couple.
Even so, it is necessary to make an effort to make it work. Because they are so different, major internal conflicts may arise in the relationship. However, if overcome, these elements were made for each other.
Combinations of fire and air signs
Just like earth and water signs, fire and air signs also attract each other, even though they are different. In fact, it is precisely because of this difference that they feel attracted. But be careful: the different ways of living and thinking can cause problems in coexistence, especially when it comes to opposite tastes.
If in the combination of earth and water the attraction works like a tug-of-war, where the two are pulling closer and closer to each other, in the case of fire and air it is as if one is the fuel of the other.
One boosts your energy with ideas that are different, but not completely opposite, to those of the other. As such, these two form an explosive duo that, when it works, is very difficult to separate.
Perfect match for every sign
Of course, there is more to analyze about the compatibility of each sign than just the elements. As said before, each sign looks for something special, and this makes that even among the compatible ones, there are favorites. This is what we will go into now.
Combinations of the sign of Aries
Arians, who are explosive and opinionated people, get along very well with the remaining fire signs Leo and Sagittarius, and also with air signs Gemini. The Aryan is able to find a good relationship with the other air signs like Aquarius and Libra, although they are not at the top of the compatibility list.
The key to the functioning of these relationships comes from both partners valuing freedom, both their own and the other's, something important for Aries natives. Always energetic and sociable, Aries are very harmonious with the explosive fire signs, and with the changeable air signs.
Taurus Sign Combinations
Among the earth signs, Taurus is the one that least fits the vision of "cold and calculating" that earth natives popularly have. Being more known for liking to eat a lot and enjoying the luxuries of life, the best partners for Taurinos are Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces, with a little bit of Scorpio hidden around.
Taurus compatible couples are made to last, due to the Taurus' calm and stable nature, and are unlikely to encounter big problems. Earth signs bring the stability and rationality that Taurus values, while water signs are able to add more depth to the relationship, due to their habit of giving themselves to their partner.
Gemini Sign Combinations
Gemini and their mood swings. Who could stand someone who changes their mind so much? Surprisingly, many people. The Gemini finds the greatest compatibility in the signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. But he also works well with others of his own element.
Just like the Arian, Gemini people value their freedom and want to keep it during the relationship. They also like funny and social people who will allow them to meet new friends and places. If you want to win a Gemini, you have to follow their rhythm.
Cancer Sign Combinations
The Cancerian only wants two things: to feel safe and loved. The signs that most provide these feelings for him are Taurus, Pisces and Capricorn, also being compatible with the remaining water sign, Scorpio.
Because they are very sensitive and protective, Cancerians end up being a little insecure. Because of this, they look for partners who give them that feeling of security, either in the form of the emotional stability of the earth signs, or in the attention and intense love experienced by the other water signs.
Leo Sign Combinations
The vain Leo, when happy with his relationship, does not measure efforts to love his partner as much as he loves himself. The signs that most arouse this feeling in Leo are Libra, Aquarius and Gemini, also having strong connections with the other fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius.
Confident and bold by nature, the Leonine likes people who can handle his energy, those who are not afraid of his advances and appreciate his confidence, exactly what the signs of air and fire provide him with.
Virgo Sign Combinations
A perfectionist and critic, the Virgoan seeks to be and have the perfect match. He is as critical of himself as he is of his partner, and this critical nature can get in the way of some relationships a lot. However, with the right partner, the relationship is only elevated by these traits.
The signs that have more harmony with Virgo are those who give their all in relationships, no matter the situation. They are: Capricorn, Cancer and Taurus, but it can also work with Scorpio, Pisces and of course, other Virgos.
Libra Sign Combinations
Librians love to fall in love with simple things like a "good morning". Being very romantic and idealistic, they are easily captivated by simple actions. However, precisely for this reason, they also lose interest easily, changing their love focus to the next person. Remember: they like to fall in love, but they are not needy.
Libra has the greatest compatibility with the air signs, Gemini and Aquarius, due to their constant changes and new stimuli for the Librian. Libra natives also get along very well with the fire signs - Aries, Sagittarius and Leo - for constantly rekindling the flame of the relationship.
Scorpio Sign Combinations
The sign of Scorpio is certainly the most intense sign of the zodiac. For this native, everything is always 8 or 80, and of course love is no different. When a Scorpio falls in love, he falls so much in love that he may think that other signs do not really love him, simply because they cannot have the same intensity.
The signs that go best with Scorpio are those which are able to respond to their intensity, in this case Pisces, Cancer and the earth signs Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo. The water signs respond in the exact way that Scorpio desires, with intensity, while the earth signs make them understand that they love him even without all the exaggerations.
Sagittarius Sign Combinations
The Sagittarian needs adventure, spontaneity and, like the Arian, freedom. The most important thing for the Sagittarian is, and always will be, adventure. The relationship needs to sound like something new, like a trip to places they like, and cannot become something repetitive and everyday.
Because of this need for adventure, the Sagittarian gets along very well with all the Air signs, and with all the other Fire signs, since dating them is always an adventure full of new experiences.
Capricorn Sign Combinations
Analytical and selective, impressing the Capricornian is difficult. While it may not seem romantic at first, it only takes a little bit of your surface time for these individuals to demonstrate what they are emotionally capable of.
Capricorn has a special relationship with the signs of Pisces and Scorpio. These two have the best capacity to extract the romantic side of the Capricorn native, and almost skip the "screening" stage of Capricorn selecting their partners. Other harmonious signs are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, and of course, Capricorn itself.
Aquarius Sign Combinations
The daring Aquarian likes to try the new, wanting people who seek the same. The sign of Aquarius does not get along very well with people who like to stick to the standard, without something special to differentiate themselves, preferring those signs that seek the unusual.
The best combinations for Aquarius are Aries and Sagittarius as both bring the dynamism and spontaneity that the Aquarian seeks. Other signs that work well with Aquarius are Leo, Gemini and Libra.
Pisces Sign Combinations
Very romantic and understanding, the sign of Pisces is known for being the sweetheart of the zodiac. Having a genuine love, the Pisces wants someone who will give him security and stability, someone he can count on in difficult times and who will always be there.
The best combinations for Pisces are Capricorn and Taurus, due to the stability and security given by them. Other signs that work well with Pisces are Scorpio, Cancer and Virgo.
Does the combination between the signs indicate the compatibility of a couple?
The combination of the signs indicates the compatibility of the couple. However, it's important to remember that it's only a sign, and that various other aspects of the birth chart influence the compatibility of two people. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the Sun is not everything. It only serves to get a general idea of someone's personality.
So don't go giving up on your partner or scheduling the wedding. There is still a lot of chart to look at ahead. Each planet has its own meaning and will have a different influence. To understand more about the power of some of the other stars in the chart you can take a read here .
