Guided by the StarsNeed a little guidance? Astrology can tell you everything you need to know about your life, from the perfect job for you to the kind of pet you need to the nail polish color that will make your life oh so very much better.
Modern dating can be nothing short of a nightmare. Most people will take any advice they can get to avoid an awful first date, and knowing what your sign says you should look for in a partner may help you steer clear of romantic drama.
We all act pretty differently when we're in love and have alluring traits totally unique to our Zodiac signs. Even if you are different signs than your bae, what each Zodiac sign needs from a significant other can be pretty similar. Fire signs all thrive with the same type of adventurous thrill-seekers, and Water signs need someone with emotional kindness. Still, when it comes to compatible traits according to the zodiac, sometimes opposites attract. For example, emotional Pisces thrives when analytical Virgo is there to rein them in. The best partner for your zodiac may surprise you.
Aries (March 21- April 19) has an infectious, excitable energy. This can be a little much for other signs - especially homebodies like Cancer - but fellow Fire signs find themselves right at home with these fierce, hot-headed rams.
Leo, who is often equally as hot-headed and energetic, is a perfect match to keep up with an Aries's unstoppable drive and occasional temper tantrums. They're perhaps the only sign that can rival Aries when it comes to commanding a room. An Aries and a Leo are golden as long as they're not competing for the same prize.
Aries also needs a match who will balk at the idea of settling down, which is why the free-spirited Sagittarius works well. Sagittarii love looking for adventures, and they actually have a calming effect on an Aries's hot temper. Sagittarius is much more low-maintenance and can roll with the punches that Aries throws.
Tauruses (April 20 - May 20) just want to lay down in the lap of luxury with their sweetheart, which is why they thrive alongside a partner who is a homebody with exquisite taste. Cancer, who's known as a nurturing, family-oriented sign, is a perfect match for these romantic bulls. Both Cancer and Taurus tend to be a little introverted, and while they may adore the idea of living together in isolation (with some Netflix and a bowl of gourmet popcorn, of course), it can become a little unhealthy and codependent.
Taurus may enjoy a lazy day or two, but they've also got a killer work ethic. If you're the type who leans towards 12-hour workdays versus Hulu and hangout, Capricorn's hardworking nature and organizational skills will help you get stuff done. You won't just be successful romantic partners, but you'll excel together in any goal you want to complete – from business endeavors to recreational sports leagues and beyond.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20) isn't going to be satisfied with staying in and idle chit-chat. The twin sign needs excitement and smart conversation. They can navigate through topics at 100 mph and will easily get bored if their partner can't keep up with their clever wit. Libras, who flourish during intense debates and are all-around social butterflies, could quickly become a lifelong match. Libras and Geminis are the type to attend fancy gallery openings and underground rock concerts in the same breath. They're power couples who love going out on the town.
On the other hand, Gemini's polar opposite, Sagittarius, is also well-suited for the twin sign. According toAstrostyle, Sagittarius rules "the higher mind of philosophy" while Gemini rules "everyday communication." Interesting, fulfilling conversations are endless with this pair.
Cancers (June 21 - July 22) are incredibly slow to trust. This Water sign is wildly sensitive and notorious for retreating into their hard shell. This is why Cancers thrive with a patient, loyal partner who appreciates and understands their vulnerabilities. Scorpio and Pisces, fellow Water signs, generally make the best partners for these sweet, sensitive crabs. They've got a knack for understanding Cancer's non-verbal cues and a fierce sense of loyalty that will help crabs open up their hard shells. On the other hand, Capricorns are the polar opposite of Cancer but still make great partners; they help balance out the crab's high emotions and reclusive tendencies while still providing a safe, comfortable home.
Leos (July 23 - August 22) are natural-born entertainers, and they only thrive if they've got someone to charm. This is why Leos do best with an energetic sidekick - someone who doesn't need to be the center of attention but can certainly keep up. Opposite sign Aquarius is a great match who has no problems stepping aside and letting Leo lead the charge. These party animals are totally cool going along with Leo's intense, exhausting schedule.
On their worst days, Leo needs someone who can feed their sometimes fragile ego, and Aries are a perfect emotional cheerleader (as long as they're not competing for the same role).
Virgos (August 23 - September 22) are among the smartest of the zodiac signs, so they need an intellectual match or they'll get frustrated and bored. This analytical sign is grounded and thrives on reason, so heart-led Water signs like Cancer are probably going to cause some conflict.
On the other hand, Earth signs like Capricorn just click. Capricorns are smart and structured. They think in terms of data and probability and use that to achieve their wildest dreams. If you're the type of Virgo who's made a spreadsheet to help you choose a future house or even just plan a party, Capricorns are your total match. They'll print out your data, frame it, and put it on the fridge.
