Compatible Astrology Signs

The Ingredients of Compatible Astrology Signs

Many elements come into play when we discuss compatible astrological signs. Two of the most important factors are the moon placement in a man’s chart and the Mars placement in a woman’s chart. Here we’ll take a closer look.

The Moon in a Man’s Chart

Traditional astrology claims that the moon in a man’s astrological chart dictates the kind of woman he’s most attracted to. This makes sense since the moon rules our emotions and is considered feminine in nature.

For example, let’s say a man has a sun sign Cancer, but has a Sagittarius moon. This may cause a lot of internal conflict for this man. By nature, he may be reserved, shy and very cautious about his feelings. When it comes to women, however, it’s the exact opposite! He finds himself attracted to women who embody very Sagittarian qualities. That is, women who are who are gregarious, adventurous, funny, outgoing; all typical Sagittarian traits.

Now let’s say after a few years of heartache and being rejected (for lack of a better word), our young man meets an Aries woman with a Pisces moon. Success! In an instant we have compatible signs. Her moon meshes beautifully with his sun (water to water), while his moon and her sun are compatible (fire to fire).

Mars in a Woman’s Chart

Mars rules sexuality and physical energy in a woman’s chart and it also gives clues to what type of man she finds attractive.

Let’s say a woman’s Mars is in Pisces. No matter where her other planets may be, no matter who she eventually falls in love with, she’ll always be attracted to spiritual, artistic and altruistic souls; all Pisces characteristics.

The same can be said if your Mars happens to be in Scorpio. You may be the chattiest, the zaniest, the most logical Aquarian woman to ever walk the earth, but when it comes to men, you like the “bad boys”! In all seriousness, you'll more than likely find yourself drawn to men who appear mysterious or brooding in some way.

Compatibility Horoscopes: Who Do We Like?

Besides romantic connections, there are just some people we meet and like instantly. We feel comfortable with them from the word “go”. Whether they are our co-workers, best friends, or neighbors, we just like them. When it works well astrologically, some compatible astrology signs just click.

• Fire and Air: We all know that fire needs oxygen to burn properly. Similar then is the nature of the fire and air signs. This pairing works well because the air sign constantly breathes life, by way of ideas and imagination, into the fire sign's plans and aspirations.

Note: Fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Air signs are Libra, Gemini and Aquarius.

• Fire and Fire: As you can imagine, when two fire signs come together, things happen (or explode!). These two will continuously feed off of each other’s energy. When it works, it works well.

• Earth and Water: In this instance, and much like in feng shui, water nourishes earth. Take for example a Capricorn and a Scorpio and let’s suppose that these two are business partners that get along famously. This is easy to understand because Capricorn is a fairly ambitious sign, while Scorpio (who's also quite ambitious) knows how to see things to their completion. As we can see, this pairing works perfectly, especially when there’s a goal to be met.

Note: Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Water signs are Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio.

• Earth and Earth: It’s easy to see why and how an earth and earth pair feels comfortable together. These two signs are able to understand each other’s perspective and share a similar outlook on life. The only possible conflict with this pairing is that because the two of you are so similar, you may feel “stuck” in your relationship from time to time.

• Air and Air: An air and air pairing is usually a pleasant experience. Air signs tend to be very logical. They carefully reason out solutions in situations where another sign, like a water sign, would simply intuit one. Libra, Gemini, and Aquarius just “get” one another.

A Final Word

When it comes to compatible astrology signs, we can see that the element of the sign in question is extremely important. Other important factors include, but are not limited to, the position and house sign of both the moon and Mars. This is particularly true for romantic involvements..
