If you do believe in zodiac signs, you’ll know that each of the twelve astrological signs has different characteristics and behaviors that make up their personality. No two signs are the same, of course, but most of them have underlying similar traits. For example, many Cancers are consider to be moody, contemplative, reclusive people who are highly sensitive and intuitive.
Because each zodiac sign has different traits, some signs will be more compatible than others. For example, water signs are highly emotional, so they pair well with someone down to earth and stable, such as an earth sign. Feisty fire signs such as Aries typically pair well with an air sign such as Gemini. Of course, relationships go a lot deeper than zodiac signs, but it helps to know compatibility first by seeing if your personalities mesh well together.
So, we’ll go over what you might need in a relationship and who you would be most compatible with.
WHAT DO YOU NEED IN A RELATIONSHIP, ACCORDING TO YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?
ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)
Aries need someone to be upfront with them, no matter the cost. The Ram appreciates someone who doesn’t sugarcoat things and can handle their sometimes brash, straightforward manner of communicating. Aries are bold and transparent and need someone confident and stable by their side. They have a good sense of direction and strong ambition, so they don’t want anyone holding them back.
Aries don’t typically match up well with people who are shy or timid. They are best complemented by people who have a strong personality but also know how to have a good time.
Aries are most compatible with Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Sagittarius, and Leo.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)
Taurus are headstrong signs that love their routines. They don’t do very well with change or compromises. They see life through their lens and have a difficult time understanding other people’s perspectives sometimes. They need someone who will get them out of their shell and show them a new way of seeing the world.
Taurus needs someone who they can feel comfortable with and who won’t mind digging a little deeper to uncover their real thoughts and feelings.
This zodiac sign is most compatible with Cancer, Pisces, Virgo, and Scorpio.
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)
Above all else, Geminis need someone who is stable and sure of who they are. True to their nature, Geminis are constantly changing their views, personalities, and wardrobes, so they are hard to keep track of, to say the least. Because of their flighty, nervous nature, Geminis do best in a relationship with zodiac signs who are secure and confident in themselves. Geminis are a fun, upbeat sign, so they don’t typically mesh well with moody signs such as Water.
Geminis have a real love of life and are complemented best by people who share that passion. This sign might seem wishy-washy, but they will settle down if they find someone who can make them feel wild and calm at the same time.
Geminis are most compatible with Aquarius, Libra, Aries, and Leo.
CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)
In a relationship, Cancers will give everything to their partner. Because of this, they often lose themselves in relationships because they put their partner first, always. They need someone who is stable to handle them during times of emotional distress and existential crises (which happen often).
Cancers are diehard idealists who have an image in their minds of how a partner and relationship should be. When this image is shattered, they can get pretty hurt and confused. So, they need a partner who is up to the challenge and who can handle their intense emotions and moods.
Cancers need comfort, above everything, so finding a relationship with someone who will get cozy with them and cook them food is their idea of perfection.
Cancers are compatible with Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus, and Pisces.
LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)
Leos love being the center of attention and have a lust for life. They love to have a good time and make new friendships. Though Leos can be a little vain, they have good hearts and would do anything to help others. Leos need someone confident who can keep up with them and show them a good time.
Leos are most compatible with other fire signs, as well as Gemini and Libra.
