Are You Astrologically Compatible with Your Friends?

It is an unwritten rule that some people get along better than others, just like certain signs in the zodiac are destine to clash. It doesn’t mean that we can’t be friends with these people, just that we have to be careful of how we interact and communicate. Some exchanges can be toxic when the wrong energies mix.

Keep in mind that your sun sign (the sign indicated by your birthday) does not fully express your Astrological compatibility with someone. The planet Venus plays a big part in your unique birth chart, and its placement can have a huge effect on your interpersonal relationships. Venus rules love and relationships and defines how we engage with others. If you had your Venus in your best friend’s sign, there is a natural inclination that you will get along. If you are interested in knowing what sign is in your Venus, you can check here.

It is also a rule of thumb that signs of the same element tend to get along. This makes sense as they reflect similar energies. Water signs like water signs, fire signs like fire signs, air signs like air sign and earth signs like earth signs. The only distinction are those of the same sign as you, this works like an opposite sign, which you will repel and attract with, like Scorpio and Taurus. There is a chance you won’t like someone of your own sign, but there is also a great chance that you will. In Astrology this is known as a "variable", it can go either way with these signs.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries is a very friendly sign and can get to know a lot of people, but they don’t let everyone into their heart. Leo is Aries' soul mate best friend, as two fire signs they share a similar outlook on life that is adventurous and exciting. Aries will also bond with Gemini as they can have witty talks and share common interests like image, dating and popularity. Problems will arise between Gemini and Aries if they start to compete with each other. Aries will like Libra’s laid back approach and desire to have a good time. Libra will let Aries take control, and Aries likes this. It’s not common, but Aries and Taurus can be friends, however, they might fight for control as both will want to lead. Aries is fascinated by the mind of an Aquarius and enjoys listening to their perspective on life and hearing about their wisdom. Aries isn't destined to hit it off with Virgo, though Capricorn’s good graces and drive will impress the Aries. Aries is charmed by Pisces' nature and good heart. They enjoy Cancer comedic and creative side and will work well with a Scorpio as long as they don’t get too bossy.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus makes for a very loyal and true, life-long friend. Many Taurus people grow up to have friendships that have lasted for decades. Earth signs like Virgo and Capricorn will appeal to Taurus. Taurus and Virgo will laugh a lot together, enjoy similar television and Netflix shows and share many inside jokes. Taurus and Capricorn will make for good teammates who want similar things. Both signs are after the best in life. Gemini and Taurus can also share a special connection and work well together. These signs tend to have interests in common. Taurus tends to bond well with other Taurus people, but they will have trouble, or could have trouble with their opposite sign, Scorpio. It is important that Taurus don't rule out signs after one bad experience. Taurus and Sagittarius can also hit it off, but often it comes down to them wanting different things. 

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Gemini likes to dip their pen in a lot of ink, meaning they tend to make friends all over the map. Gemini has probably lost friends, met new friends and kept friends over the years, but they have to play nice. When they do, Gemini can be the leader of the pack or the sacred member of the crew. On the rare occasion, Gemini won’t get along with other Gems, but usually, Gems love other Gems. Gemini will also connect with air signs Aquarius and Libra. These signs like to play, enjoy life, and partake in a variety of flirtations. Gemini and Scorpio have common ground and tend to connect well as friends. Opposites Sagittarius and Gemini like Brad and Angelina have chemistry, but also the potential to really clash.

Gemini and Capricorn can also form a healthy union as long as both remain devoted, these two can share good chemistry and want similar things out of life. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Leo is the king of the jungle and therefore they know everybody, even if they don’t want to be recognized sometimes, Leo was born to shine. They make for lovely friends who always make you feel like a million dollars. Flaky at the root, Leo might bail on plans or vanish from time to time, but their love for you is never lost. Aries and Leo make for a perfect match as friends, they will get into some fun and maybe even some trouble. Leo and Sagittarius will be partners in adventure and share constant laughter. These two signs really understand each other. Leo also loves Virgo and Libra. Virgo balances Leo out and Libra lets Leo lead. Libra is also easy and refreshing to be around and Leo admires that--both of these signs just want to have a good time! Leo will be drawn to Scorpio and their "can do" and intellectual energy, but trouble could occur when they realize they're not well-matched overall. Textbooks say Leo doesn’t jive well with Pisces, but in reality, Leo holds a special affection for Pisces. They can become life-long friends and really get along on a deep level. Leo can hit it off with Capricorn, but mainly as friends, romantically these two don't tend to work.

These two can become the best of friends, but they are very different so arguments will likely occur. When this union is healthy, these signs present alternative ways of looking at things for each other, and can form a beneficial bond like Drew Barrymore (Pisces) and Cameron Diaz (Virgo). Virgo and Sagittarius are like Beyoncé and Jay Z, they are that hidden zodiac pairing that seems to work, as long as they are communicating properly. Virgo provides a safe haven and a healthy foundation for fire signs like Sagittarius.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpio is the kind of friend who selects carefully, but once they invest their trust, they are your friend for life. You might as well be family because Scorpio loyalty is strong.

Scorpio will be attracted to Leo, but they could run into problems if Scorpio isn’t expressing enough love, or if Scorpio becomes too introverted to keep up with Leo’s agenda. Gemini and Scorpio will understand each other, have things in common and generally get along well. As long as Gemini is open and honest with Scorpio, then it’s unlikely they will have too many problems.

As two forces of control, these signs bump heads.
