Chart of Compatible Astrological Signs
From LoveToKnow Horoscopes
Are you looking for a chart of compatible astrological signs? One of the best parts about astrology is that certain signs are said to mesh together better than others. One of the easiest ways to see if two people will be a 'hit' or 'miss', in terms of their astrological signs, is to consult a chart of compatible astrological signs. While it won't tell the future of someone's relationship (or even predict every match), the information it provides can sometimes be invaluable.
A Note About Compatibility
Many people look at astrological compatibility and hope to see that their partner is destined for them in the stars. However, astrology doesn't work like that. While people born under the same star sign have many similar characteristics, not every person in a given sign is the same as the other members of that sign.
Not every Libra, for example, acts in the same manner that every other Libra does. There are other factors in your astrological chart that can contribute to compatibility such as different rising signs or the position of major planets in your chart.
In other words, in the event your sun signs are not traditionally compatible, this does not doom the relationship between your partner and yourself.
Chart of Compatible Astrological Signs
Below is a chart of compatible astrological signs. As with many aspects of astrology, compatibility is not a simple matter of being absolutely compatible or not; instead, it is a spectrum of compatibility. In the below chart, compatibility is gauged on a spectrum of 1 (being an unlikely successful match) to 5 (being a match with high likelihood of succeeding).
| Aries | Taurus | Gemini | Cancer | Leo | Virgo | Libra | Scorpio | Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius | Pisces | |
| Aries | 5 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
| Taurus | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 1 | 3 |
| Gemini | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 1 |
| Cancer | 1 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 5 |

What Can Affect Compatibility?
Outside of star signs, there are numerous factors that can influence compatibility.
Rising Sign
The rising sign is one of the most influential parts of your birth chart. Have you ever met someone who has said they are nothing like their given sun sign?
A good reason for that may be the influence of their rising sign since it can often be more reflective of a person's true astrological sign. In certain cases, a person may feel nothing like their sun sign and entirely like their rising sign. However, many do not delve deeply enough into astrology to find this out.
The rising sign is the zodiac sign that was on the horizon at the exact moment of your birth. This is why birth time can be crucial in crafting astrological charts. You can find many charts at online websites such as Mentator.com that can help you find your rising (or ascendent) sign.
The rising sign is often reflective of what a person shows to their outside world. This is why a person's rising sign can affect compatibility because it shows more of how a person acts with others.
It can also be a better accessor of someone's overall demeanor. For example, say your partner has a Cancer sun sign. He or she should be protective of you. However, if the rising sign is Taurus, this can indicate a stubborn individuality. This can also help to explain why two partners with incompatible sun signs may get along famously in all the ways their sun signs 'should' not.
Houses
In creating a birth chart, the houses each represent one of the 12 major divisions in the Zodiac. Depending which house a planet falls in can influence a birth chart heavily. Each home stands for a different value such as the house of Health or of Self. For example, if most of your planets fall in either the house of philosophy (the 9th house) or the house of social status (the 11th house), even a Cancer would lean towards a life of travel and academia.
Closing Thoughts
Perhaps the most important thing to remember about compatibility is that it is between two people and not between two signs. In the event you are in a relationship that astrology disagrees with, perhaps there is something special about both you and your partner that allows that relationship to flourish.
