Compatable star signs
Compatable signs is something we all want to know about to help us with our relationships.
Star sign compatability is all about the angles between signs. Being that there are 12 signs, and these form the circle of the zodiac, therefore each sign is 30 degrees from the next, which gives us 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180.
These pairs are listed here:
- 0 degrees:
Aries-Aries, Taurus-Taurus, Gemini-Gemini, Cancer-Cancer, Leo-Leo, Virgo-Virgo, Libra-Libra, Scorpio-Scorpio, Sagittarius-Sagittarius, Capricorn-Capricorn, Aquarius-Aquarius, Pisces-Pisces.
- 30 degrees:
Aries-Pisces, Aries-Taurus, Taurus-Gemini, Gemini-Cancer, Cancer-Leo, Leo-Virgo, Virgo-Libra, Libra-Scorpio, Scorpio-Sagittarius, Sagittarius-Capricorn, Capricorn-Aquarius, Aquarius-Pisces.
- 60 degrees:
Aries-Aquarius, Aries-Gemini, Taurus-Pisces, Taurus-Cancer, Gemini-Leo, Cancer-Virgo, Leo-Libra, Virgo-Scorpio, Libra-Sagittarius, Scorpio-Capricorn, Sagittarius-Aquarius, Capricorn-Pisces.
- 90 degrees:
Aries-Capricorn, Aries-Cancer, Taurus-Aquarius, Taurus-Leo, Gemini-Pisces, Gemini-Virgo, Cancer-Libra, Leo-Scorpio, Virgo-Sagittarius, Libra-Capricorn, Scorpio-Aquarius, Sagittarius-Pisces.
- 120 degrees:
Aries-Sagittarius, Aries-Leo, Taurus-Capricorn, Taurus-Virgo, Gemini-Aquarius, Gemini-Libra, Cancer-Pisces, Cancer-Scorpio, Leo-Sagittarius, Virgo-Capricorn, Libra-Aquarius, Scorpio-Pisces.
- 150 degrees:
Aries-Virgo, Aries-Scorpio, Taurus-Libra, Taurus-Sagittarius, Gemini-Scorpio, Gemini-Capricorn, Cancer-Sagittarius, Cancer-Aquarius, Leo-Capricorn, Leo-Pisces, Virgo-Aquarius.
- 180 degrees:
Aries-Libra, Taurus-Scorpio, Gemini-Sagittarius, Cancer-Capricorn, Leo-Aquarius, Virgo-Pisces.
The beginning angle is zero degrees, where two signs are the same. For example two Taureans, or two Geminis. We generally regard this as a favourable combination.
Two people with the same star sign will often have a similar view to life, and the chemistry can be quite mutual and exciting.
Yet unfortunately the strong compatibility is too much of a good thing. The couple could get in each others way. Also, if it’s a heterosexual match, the woman may be attracted to the man because he reminds her of her father. This mightn’t always be advisable.
The next angle is 30 degrees, and this describes two signs that are next to each other. Like Aries and Taurus, or Leo and Virgo. On the face of it two signs that are next to each other won’t get on very well, because these signs will always be very different from one
another. In practice 30 degree relationships often work well, and this might have something to do with the fact that the planets Mercury and Venus are never too far from the Sun.
So a lot of people with the Sun in Leo will have Mercury or Venus, or both, in the following sign of Virgo. As a result many Leos can form excellent relationships with Virgo.
Probably the best angle is 60 degrees, where the signs are two apart. For example Aries-Gemini, or Virgo-Scorpio. There’s a general sympathy between the two signs, but they’re sufficiently different not to step on each others toes. So if you’re looking for a long-term relationship, with minimal aggravation, this might be the combination to go for.
Signs which are 90 degrees apart are often powerfully attracted to each other, even though their differences tend to outweigh their similarities. There might be passion, but there could also be plenty of arguments which can affect the outcome.
Relationships between signs that are 120 degrees apart can be very harmonious and run smoothly, and there’s a natural understanding between the two people. It’s because signs
that are 120 degrees from each other have the same element. For example, Taurus and Capricorn are both Earth signs, Libra and Aquarius both Air signs.
When signs are 150 degrees apart they have nothing in common, all things being equal, and it’s probably a combination to avoid.
The most interesting pairs are those that are 180 degrees apart. The two signs are on opposite sides of the Zodiac, and there can be a compulsive chemistry.However just because two people are attracted to each other doesn’t mean that they should have a relationship. The 180 degree combination can be stormy and even self-destructive.
180 degree relationships don’t have to end badly, but there’s a fundamental tension, that could have explosive results.
Now these aspects just take into consideration the Sun signs, and it is important that the Moon, Venus and Mars are also taken into account.
And given the general nature of this type of astrology, we would suggest that you don’t accept or reject someone just because they’ve got the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ star sign.
