What is zodiac compatibility?
Zodiac compatibility is a fun way to compare two zodiac signs based on their elements and qualities. Astrology assigns each of the twelve signs to one of four elements — fire, earth, air, and water — and the interaction between these elements determines a compatibility score.
How to calculate zodiac compatibility?
The calculator uses an element-based compatibility system. Each zodiac sign belongs to one of four elements: fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Signs of the same element score highest, while complementary elements (fire-air, earth-water) also pair well.
Which zodiac elements are most compatible?
Same-element pairs score highest — for example, two fire signs naturally understand each other. Complementary elements also work well: fire with air and earth with water. The most challenging combinations are fire with water and air with earth, though opposite signs (six positions apart on the zodiac wheel) receive a bonus for their attraction of opposites.
Zodiac compatibility examples
Aries and Leo (both fire signs) score 88% — an energetic and passionate pairing. Taurus and Cancer (earth and water) score 78% — a stable and nurturing bond. Aries and Cancer (fire and water) score only 42%, indicating this combination may need more effort to thrive.
