Which zodiac signs are most compatible?

Signs of the same element tend to score highest. Fire+Air and Earth+Water pairings share natural harmony. The trine aspect (120° apart) produces the smoothest connections.

Can incompatible signs have a good relationship?

Absolutely. A lower compatibility score means the relationship will ask more of both partners. Many transformative relationships happen between challenging pairings.

What is the difference between sun sign compatibility and synastry?

Sun sign compatibility compares zodiac signs based on birth date alone. Synastry is a full astrological comparison using exact birth time, date, and location — analysing how every planet in one chart aspects every planet in the other.

Does zodiac compatibility actually work?

Zodiac compatibility is a framework for understanding relationship dynamics. Many people find astrological insights help them understand communication patterns and emotional needs.

Which zodiac pairs have the strongest physical chemistry?

Fire-Air combinations generate the most electric physical chemistry. Mars-Venus aspects between charts are the strongest predictors of physical attraction in synastry.

What is the most compatible zodiac pair?

The highest-scoring pairs are typically same-element trines: Leo & Sagittarius, Gemini & Aquarius, and Cancer & Scorpio consistently rank among the top.

How accurate is zodiac compatibility?

Sun sign compatibility captures one important layer. For greater accuracy, a full synastry chart comparison using exact birth times analyses 45+ planetary aspects between two charts.

What Is Zodiac Compatibility?

Zodiac compatibility is the ancient art of understanding how two people connect based on their astrological profiles. Each zodiac sign carries distinct energy shaped by its element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water), modality (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable), and planetary ruler.

When two signs interact, their elemental and modal energies either harmonise naturally — like Fire and Air feeding each other — or create productive tension that drives growth, like Fire and Water. Neither outcome is inherently better; every combination has unique strengths.

While sun sign compatibility is the most popular starting point, a complete picture requires comparing Moon signs (emotional needs), Venus signs (love style), and Mars signs (desire and drive). Our free compatibility calculator analyses all planetary positions for a full synastry report.

How We Score Compatibility

Our compatibility algorithm weighs four astrological factors to produce a balanced, nuanced score for every zodiac pairing.

40%

Element Harmony

Fire+Air ignite passion. Earth+Water build stability. Same elements share deep understanding.

20%

Modality Match

Cardinal initiates, Fixed sustains, Mutable adapts. Complementary modalities create dynamic flow.

30%

Aspect Geometry

Trines (120°) flow naturally. Sextiles (60°) complement. Squares (90°) challenge. Oppositions attract.

10%

Ruler Affinity

Signs sharing planetary rulers (e.g. Taurus & Libra, both Venus) gain a natural affinity bonus.
