Zodiac compatibility

Zodiac compatibility describes how two Sun signs tend to meet — where the energy flows easily and where it catches. It is driven by two things: the elements the signs are made of (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) and the modality that governs how each one moves (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable).

Fire and Air amplify each other, as do Earth and Water. Fire with Earth, or Fire with Water, asks for more deliberate understanding. Cardinal signs initiate, Fixed signs sustain, and Mutable signs adapt — pair two of the same and you get either momentum or a standoff.

Below are all 78 combinations of the twelve signs, each rated out of five. Remember that Sun-sign compatibility is one layer: Moon signs govern emotional needs and Rising signs shape first impressions, so two couples with the same pairing can feel entirely different.
