Are the two of you compatible?

Why Do Star Signs Matter?

A star sign is the sign that the sun is moving through at the time of your birth. Commonly, these signs are referred to as horoscope signs, star signs, birth signs, zodiac signs or sun signs. No matter what the name, they all symbolize one of the 12 signs of the Zodiac.

While there are many other factors related to compatibility, star sign characteristics can show the very surface of a compatible match. Although it may not show a person's true nature (depending on other aspects of an individual's birth chart), the star sign often shows the exterior of people and the way that they interact with the world.

The star sign also shows the main direction in someone's life. For example, Libras tend to be motivated by aesthetic beauty and balance. As a result, it is not very likely that you will ever see a Libra defacing a famous painting or hoodwinking someone.

How Important Are Exteriors In Compatibility?

Many people are fond of the saying "It's what is on the inside that counts." There is much truth to this saying. However, in terms of compatibility, if you find it difficult to contend with someone's exterior behavior, you are less likely to get to know that person on the inside.

You may even find yourself completely uninterested in who that person is deep inside. As a result, a star sign can serve as a great initial compatibility test for you to get a brief idea of how an individual may operate.

So, Which Star Signs Are Compatible With Each Other?

On some level, most star signs are compatible with each other. Even two extreme opposites can have compatible characteristics. However, some signs mesh better together than others do.

Air Signs

Most air signs match well with each other. The three air signs - Aquarius, Gemini and Libra - all form intellectually based relationships when matched together. They also balance each other out well (something especially important to Gemini and Libra). Since all three signs require a certain amount of intellectual stimulation, they each understand how the other one works. A match between any mixture of these three signs also works well since there is just the right amount of emotion mixed with thought.

Earth and Water Signs

While air signs match well with one another, earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo) match well with the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). Why do the star signs in these elements match well together? The answer is simple: the signs balance one another out.

Earth needs water, water needs earth. The relationship between an earth sign and a water sign is often one of deep emotion. The earth sign will be very in-tune to themselves while the water sign is very in-tune to their own emotions.

The combination creates deep intimacy when meshed together. They also provide well for each other: earth can bring the emotional water sign "down to earth" while water can show earth deep passion.
