How is compatibility between signs calculated?
Traditional astrology looks at the element and the distance between signs. Signs of the same element understand each other effortlessly, complementary elements (fire with air, earth with water) boost each other, and opposite signs attract because each has what the other lacks.
Does an "incompatible" sign mean it won't work?
No. Sign compatibility is just a first look. Many couples with less compatible signs do very well because their Moons, Venuses, or Rising signs do fit together. For the full picture, use the couples synastry tool.
How to read your compatibility result
When you pick your sign, the tool shows you which signs you flow with naturally, which ones bring an exciting attraction that takes some work, and which ones may involve more friction. Think of the result as a map of the terrain: it tells you where the path is flat and where there will be hills, but it doesn't decide whether you choose to walk it.
Always read the explanation, not just the percentage. Two signs can have a middling score and still make an excellent couple if they value exactly what the other brings.
The criteria we take into account
Traditional astrology compares several factors. The first is the element: fire and air feed each other, earth and water nourish each other, and fire with water or earth with air require more adjustment. The second is the modality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable): two fixed signs can become stubborn together, while a cardinal and a mutable sign tend to complement each other in initiative and flexibility.
The third is the ruling planet: signs ruled by compatible planets (for example, Venus and Mercury) share a rhythm and communication style. Each sign brings its own way of loving, and compatibility depends on how well those styles understand each other.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is just one piece. True couple chemistry is studied by comparing the full charts: each person's Moon, Venus, Mars, and Rising sign. That's what couples synastry is for: it overlays the two birth charts and shows the aspects between both people's planets.
If you'd like a simple overview before going to that level, pair this tool with compatibility between two signs, which also works for friendships, family, and work, and with our article on zodiac sign compatibility.
