Aquarius (Water Bearer, Air): January 19-February 18
Sign matches:
- Gemini: A fellow air sign, a Gemini has the quick wit and curiosity to match an Aquarius’s strong originality. A Gemini-Aquarius couple will never run out of questions to ask each other.
- Aries: Aries is a fire sign that craves independence and adventure, nicely balancing Aquarius’s free-roaming spirit.
- Sagittarius: Another fire sign that pairs well with air, Sagittarius is exploratory, bonding with Aquarius over exciting conversation and original thought.
The epitome of free-spirited, an Aquarius is idealistic and a nomad at heart. Think Oprah Winfrey and Bob Marley. This can make finding “the one” difficult, but another Aquarius can truly understand them.
Other air signs like Geminis connect with Aquarius’s individuality and fire signs like Sagittarius share their value for independence. Aquarius is least compatible with Taurus and Cancer, who crave routine over this air sign’s love of freedom.That same roaming soul inspires an Aquarius to treasure personal and unique symbols. Seal your bond with an Aquarius with a lucky birthstone ring, whether it’s a fiery garnet or ethereal amethyst.
Pisces (Fish, Water): February 18-March 20
Sign matches:
- Cancer: Cancers care deeply, complementing Pisces’ empathetic nature.
- Scorpio: This fellow water sign shares Pisces’ strong intuition.
- Libra: Libras have high ambition, and Pisces dream big. Even though their signs (water and air) aren’t typically thought of as compatible, they make for a future-oriented and intelligent soulmates.
Pisces is the dreamer, healer and nurturer. A Pisces’s thoughts sometimes drift away from them, so a deeply caring fellow water sign like a Cancer can help bring Pisces back down to earth.
For an unapologetic and passionate romance, seek out a Scorpio. Pisces, living in the world of feelings, is least compatible with a Gemini or Libra, who may clash with their groundedness. When a Pisces finds their match, they’ll love a custom engagement ring that’s just as thoughtful as they are. Consider proposing to your Pisces love with their cool-toned and dreamy birthstone, amethyst or aquamarine.
Aries (Ram, Fire): March 20-April 19
Sign matches:
- Leo: Leo is another fire sign that is energetic and loves thrills, just like Aries.
- Aries: A fellow Aries will be sure to keep up with this fire sign’s fast-paced life.
- Gemini: A Gemini will understand an Aries’ need for independence and can match their high energy.
A fire sign symbolized by the ram, an Aries is a true trailblazer. Like the Lady Gagas among us, an Aries could use someone to channel that boundless energy into something wonderful (like another Aries).
Or, fellow fire starter Leo will encourage an Aries to achieve their dreams, from career to family. Aries is least compatible with earth and water signs, like Virgo and Capricorn, who prefer stability over spontaneity.
Match your Aries lover’s strong spirit with their striking birthstone: aquamarine, diamond or even bloodstone.
Taurus (Bull, Earth): April 19-May 20
Sign Matches:
- Virgo: Virgo is a fellow earth sign who prioritizes stability, similar to Taurus.
- Cancer: This power couple pairing seamlessly combines water and earth, as Cancer nurtures Taurus’s dedication.
- Capricorn: Another earth sign, Capricorn is driven, pairing well with Taurus’ patience.
Patient and dedicated Tauruses bring a sense of ease to those around them. They connect well with partners who could offer the same consistency. Virgo’s focused energy creates a steady match with Taurus and Cancer’s love of home helps them stay grounded. Then there is Capricorn, whose ambition aligns with Taurus’ long view of life and relationships
However, routine-driven, sensual Tauruses can find it difficult to relate to fiery Aries or spontaneous Geminis.
Matching their distinct steadiness, a classic and timeless gemstone can be especially meaningful for a Taurus. Celebrate grounded love and devotion with the Taurus birthstones: diamond and emerald.
Gemini (Twins, Air): May 20-June 20
Sign matches:
- Aquarius: A fellow air sign, Aquarius loves mental stimulation and creativity just like Gemini.
- Libra: Libra is another air sign that, like Gemini, values emotional and intellectual connection as well as balance.
- Sagittarius: A fire sign to balance Gemini’s air, Sagittarius is an adventurer who will respect Gemini’s need for space.
Sharing a sign with Prince, a vibrant Gemini captivates others with their quick wit and charming nature. An open-minded Aquarius can create a strong mental bond with a Gemini, as can a harmonious Libra or adventurous Sagittarius.
However, A Gemini may clash with signs that value emotional heaviness and rigidity, such as Capricorn and Pisces.
If your Gemini love has their eye on a playful and unique engagement ring, consider a Gemini birthstone ring set with emerald or pearl.
Cancer (Crab, Water): June 20-July 22
Sign matches:
- Scorpio: Passionate Scorpios love intensely, which often connects with Cancers’ loyalty.
- Taurus: This earth sign matches with water to form a deeply emotional and powerful couple.
- Pisces: Pisces is highly sensitive and is thus able to connect deeply with the emotional Cancer.
Nurturing and emotional Cancers have the ability to connect to all things with seemingly endless patience. A Taurus will understand the meaning of dedication and hard work just as Cancers do, and a deeply feeling Pisces will make a Cancer’s heart swoon.
A passionate Scorpio can help a Cancer plant deep roots in life, though their intensity may be overwhelming. Aries and Libras may feel too detached for Cancer’s emotional depth and desire for safety.
A shining pearl or rich ruby engagement ring will speak to a Cancer’s deep emotions and intuitive love.
Leo (Lion, Fire): July 22-August 22
Sign matches:
- Sagittarius: Sagittarius matches Leo’s fun-loving and passionate energy.
- Gemini: Gemini is outgoing and social, just like Leo.
- Aries: A fellow fire sign, Aries has the confident passion to match Leo’s expressiveness.
Lion-like Leo—the sign of bold expression—wears each and every emotion on both sleeves. Think Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Coco Chanel.
If you’re a Leo, you’ll maintain a fire-worthy love story with an equally passionate Sagittarius or fellow spotlight-lover Gemini. If you have big goals, you can’t go wrong with an unstoppable Aries. However, to a Leo, signs like Capricorn can seem detached and Pisces too reserved.
Bold Leos seek out equally bold style. The Leo birthstones, ruby and peridot, can capture that fiery confidence and command the spotlight perfectly.
Virgo (Virgin, Earth): August 22-September 22
Sign matches:
- Taurus: A fellow earth sign, Taurus matches Virgo’s love for stability.
- Capricorn: Capricorn is another fellow earth sign that adds a dash of future-thinking to Virgo’s diligent practicality.
- Cancer: Practical Virgos can find great balance with Cancers, who are more emotionally driven, but are caretakers just like them.
Practical and reliable Virgos take care of themselves in thoughtful, committed ways and need partners who will do the same. For a love story that will stand the test of time, Virgos can pair with fellow earth sign Taurus, or strike out with an ambitious Capricorn.
Orderly Virgo is least compatible with fire and air signs like Aries and Aquarius, who often act first and think later. Surprise a Virgo with one of their meaningful birthstones: peridot or sapphire, both testaments to their refined nature and strong devotion.
Libra (Balance, Air): September 22-October 23
Sign matches:
- Gemini: This fellow air sign will value the same mental connection and strong communication that Libras cherish.
- Pisces: Pisces are intelligent and ambitious, similar to Libras.
- Aquarius: An Aquarius is a deeply understanding air sign, which is appealing to a Libra’s desire for harmony.
A Libra is a sweet, hopeless romantic whose inner life thrives when they feel eternally wooed. If you’re a Libra, there is really no greater match for you than a Gemini, who will remind you how special you are outside of your relationship.
A kindred air sign, Gemini is the key to feeling forever appreciated, adored, understood, and that ever-elusive state: balanced. The more intense signs like Capricorn or Virgo may disrupt that balance.Sapphire and opal, Libra’s birthstones, honor their gentle spirits, while vintage ring styles tie into their desire for romance.
Scorpio (Scorpion, Water): October 23-November 21
Sign matches:
- Capricorn: A compatible earth sign, Capricorn offers a complementary stability to Scorpio’s passion.
- Cancer: Cancers are emotional lovers, pairing well with Scorpio’s fierce loyalty.
- Pisces: Pisces is a fellow water sign that values intuition just as much as Scorpio.
Scorpios, like Sylvia Plath and Ryan Gosling, get a bad rap for being intense, but that’s what allows them to focus on and dig deep into the things that matter most.
A fervent Earth sign like Capricorn can help Scorpios open up, while a nurturing fellow water sign like Cancer will support them to the end. A Scorpio-Pisces pairing provides that finish-each-other’s-sentence kind of chemistry. Scorpios are less compatible with spotlight-seeking Leos and Geminis.
When choosing a gemstone for a Scorpio, look for one that honors their awe-inspiring intensity. A colorful opal or citrine ring makes a fitting symbol for their uniqueness.
Sagittarius (Archer, Fire): November 21-December 21
Sign matches:
- Aries: A fellow go-getter, Aries easily matches Sagittarius’s outgoing adventurousness.
- Leo: Leo values fun, just like the dynamic Sagittarius.
- Libra: Libra’s ability to charm and connect pairs great with Sagittarius’s easy-going nature.
An adventurer and wittiest of entertainers, a Sagittarius needs someone who will embrace a naturally flirtatious and comedic demeanor. Though Sagittarius may compete with them for the limelight, Leo is a compatible fire sign that will set their love aflame.
An Aries will also fuel their adventurous spirit, while a Libra can match their humor while showering them in affection. A Sagittarius may find themself restless with a more practical and grounded Taurus or Virgo.
A Sagittarius’s intrepid nature can guide your choice of gemstone—for example, they’ll surely love to strike out with a one-of-a-kind citrine or turquoise piece.
Capricorn (Goat, Earth): December 21-January 19
Sign matches:
- Virgo: A fellow earth sign, Virgo’s practicality makes for a great complement to Capricorn’s discipline and determination.
- Taurus: Taurus is another earth sign that values commitment, just like Capricorn’s long-term thinking.
- Scorpio: Determined Scorpios work just as hard as loyal Capricorns to achieve their goals.
Loyal Capricorns—ever-prophetic and visionary like David Bowie—are able to see things through to the finish line. Capricorns, find yourself a supportive Scorpio or a driven Virgo, who will stand by your side as you work hard to achieve your long-term goals.
A steady Taurus’s groundedness will be a boon to your love’s longevity. A Capricorn may find themself less compatible with a more impulsive sign, like Aries or Gemini.
Capricorns deserve symbols that honor their enduring devotion, such as turquoise, blue topaz or garnet birthstone rings.
Elemental Sign Compatibility
Wondering which zodiac signs go well together? Signs from the same element will likely be well matched for marriage compatibility—a fire sign will likely find a kindred spirit in another fire sign, for example.
However, some of the best zodiac pairs for marriage happen when fire signs are matched with air signs and when earth signs are matched with water signs.
Air and Fire Signs Compatibility
Those ascribing to the zodiac note that air (Aquarius, Gemini and Libra) and fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) signs make some of the best couples.
Fire signs are spontaneous and bold, and they need to pair with people who can match their intensity. Air signs are up to the task as socially aware thinkers, fueling fire signs’ sparks and stimulating them with deep thought. In turn, fire signs can help get air signs out of their own heads and out into the real world.
Earth and Water Signs Compatibility
Similarly, earth (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) and water (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) signs fit together beautifully.
The earth signs are practical, diligent and grounded, while water signs are intuitive and sensitive. Just like water hydrates the earth and allows for roots to take hold, water signs complement earth signs with emotional depth and fulfillment. Earth-water pairings are often built on strong foundations of support and stability.
Working Past Unfavorable Star Sign Compatibility
Zodiac sign compatibility is not a set-in-stone rule for how your relationship will pan out. What truly matters is how you build your life and write your love story together.
Couples with mismatched star signs can still have long, healthy marriages. If you fear that your partner’s zodiac sign is not a perfect match, set your mind at ease. Relationship compatibility goes far beyond the zodiac. Solid communication of personality differences can help bridge any gaps.
