Compatibility
Wondering if it’s them?
Which zodiac signs are compatible?
Sun-sign compatibility is geometry. Signs of the same element sit four apart on the zodiac wheel, a trine, and are the most compatible. Two apart is a friendly sextile, six apart the magnetic opposite, and three apart the square, the classic friction. That is the starting point; astrologers read the rest from Venus, Mars and the Moon.

The Traditional Pairing Chart
Every pair of sun signs and the angle between them on the zodiac wheel.
- Trine 120° · Harmonious, in Ptolemy’s terms
- Sextile 60° · Harmonious, in Ptolemy’s terms
- Opposite 180° · Opposition: two ends of one axis
- Square 90° · A hard aspect, since Ptolemy
- Same sign 0° · A conjunction, the first of Ptolemy’s aspects
- Semi-sextile 30° · A minor aspect, added long after Ptolemy
- Quincunx 150° · A minor aspect, added long after Ptolemy

How the machine sorts the pairs
It counts how many signs apart two sun signs are, the short way round the wheel. That angle is an aspect. Signs of the same element always sit four apart, and the same modality comes round every three. Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos (2nd century AD) names five of the seven angles; the 30° and 150° angles were added much later as minor aspects. Not sure of your sign? The sun sign finder works it out, cusp days included.
This chart compares sun signs only. Astrologers read love from more of the chart: Venus, Mars, the Moon and the Descendant. That is the love chart, part of your birth chart.
Why does it keep going wrong with your type?
The Sun can’t answer that. These four can, and your card reads every one of them.
-
Venus · how you love
How do you love, and how do you want to be loved?
That's Venus. It never strays far from the Sun, so it's always within two signs of yours, either side. Same sun sign, different Venus: a different idea of a good first date.
-
Mars · what you want
Why do you fight about the same thing every time?
That's Mars: desire, temper, the way you chase what you're after. It can sit in any of the twelve signs, so two people with the same sun sign born a season apart can want, and fight about, completely different things.
-
The Moon · what you need
Why do they feel like home one day and a stranger the next?
That's the Moon: what you need when the door's shut and the day's gone wrong. It changes sign every two and a half days. If their Moon falls in your sign… well.
-
The descendant · who you’re drawn to
Why do you keep falling for the same type?
That's your descendant, the edge of the seventh house: the sign setting in the west at your birth minute. Tradition reads it as the partner you keep noticing. It needs your birth time and place.
