How zodiac compatibility works
Astrology traditionally judges a pair of sun signs by three things:
- Element. Each sign is fire, earth, air, or water. Signs of the same element are said to understand each other; fire and air, and earth and water, are said to complement each other.
- Mode. Cardinal signs start things, fixed signs keep them going, and mutable signs adapt. Two signs of the same mode can clash over control.
- Distance on the wheel. Signs four apart (trines) are the classic best match. Signs three apart (squares) are the classic challenge. Opposite signs attract and balance.
Full astrological compatibility also compares moon signs, rising signs, and planets in each birth chart, which this sun-sign tool does not do.
Is zodiac compatibility real?
There is no reliable scientific evidence that sun signs predict attraction, marriage, or divorce. Enjoy this as a fun conversation starter. For what research says actually matters, read our guide to what makes couples compatible, or take the couple quiz together.
