are your signs compatible?

Lilykind · Hermes

He's a Capricorn and I'm a Gemini. We should by all accounts despise each other and get ridiculously frustrated every time one or the other speaks.

However, we both share the same ascending/rising sign of Scorpio. People who know both of us say we're remarkably similar in some ways, especially with mannerisms. They even say we look alike (but that may be because some people are convinced that all Asian people look exactly the same).

blubirde · Chanel

We're both sagittarius so I guess that works. According to the books we're compatible but we could potentially hate each other because we each embody the same traits, both negative and positive.

I've dated all kinds of guys and I can definitely say that I get along better with certain signs than others. It's not something I look for or ask about but when things start going badly I turn to my "Dark Side of the Zodiac" book (it keeps me entertained with everyone else's evil tendancies), I get it.

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

I'm Taurus, the BF is Scorpio. The last time I looked up our compatibility, it said we could either be the best thing that ever happened for each other, or the worst! We've certainly had our moments but generally speaking, he "gets" me better than any other boyfriend ever has.

He's Taurus and I'm Gemini, so we aren't supposed to work...but I bet something somewhere is aligned...right?

Elle · Hermes

We're both Cancers, so we're more two sides of the same coin - we have similar traits, but opposite strengths and weaknesses within that set of traits.

atlgirl · Gucci

I'm a Virgo and he's a Cappy, so by all accounts, we are supposed to be a match made in heaven. Which is true most of the time. We're both stubborn and competitive though, which sometimes causes technical difficulties. :)

Here's a fun web site to play with:

Plug in the two signs and see what happens!

halleybird · Hermes

I'm a Sagittarius and he's an Aquarius. I think our signs are supposed to be compatible. This is what atlgirl's link says, and it's surprisingly spot-on.

Many Sagittarius-Aquarius relationships enjoy the feeling of mutual admiration. Sagittarius is attracted to Aquarius's individuality, vision and creative capacity. Aquarius admires Sagittarian excellence and initiative -- Sagittarius is always coming up new ideas, but they aren't always able to carry them out the way Aquarius can. Both Signs relish their independence, and there aren't many conflicts because each understands this about the other. At times, Sagittarius may seem too selfish for Aquarius, who in turn may be too out-there for their Sagittarian partner. As long as they communicate their happiness about the relationship, they will overcome any bumps in the road, major or minor.

luckyclover · Dooney & Bourke

I'm a taurus and he's a libra. According to the link "it can be the unification of two halves of a whole. These two Signs are thought of as being karmically linked." I'd say that's pretty accurate.

So far we havn't had any problems,but we have only been together 4 months.

Kelly · Hermes

He's a Cancer, I'm a Gemini.

Here's what they said that I think actually sounds like us:

This stuck out because this is exactly a frustration in our relationship:
"Sensitive, emotional Cancer has trouble communicating clearly, but clear communication is what defines Gemini."
He is so much more sensitive and emotional than I am (which I love, but people joke a lot about how he acts more like a woman and I act more like a guy in our relationship). And I swear, any time we have a semi-serious issue to discuss, we have to talk about it five times because he can't answer questions directly and I NEVER know what is going on. When we started dating, it took a month of me timidly bringing up the question of exclusivity before I actually knew that he had considered us a couple all along. That's how unclear his communication is. And it was hard to decide whether I could go out with other people!

"These two Signs approach the world in such different manners that they must be able to understand and accept one another's differences."

"Quality of home life is important to Cancer, and Gemini will be spoiled by their Cancer lover's hearty home cooking, soft bed and other creature comforts."

This one made me laugh because it's so opposite of us
"Cancer tends to keep their emotions bottled up inside as they have trouble expressing themselves. They envy Geminis their gift of open, clear communication afforded by the influence of Mercury."
I keep everything bottled up, whereas he wants to talk about everything. This makes things difficult sometimes because while he wants to talk, he's not very clear about what he says, and will talk for a long time without making any kind of point. I, on the other hand, don't usually bring up anything, and when I do I say very bluntly what I feel about it. I don't communicate very openly, but I do communicate very clearly.

I'm a Sagittarius, he's an Aquarius. omg I never really believed in this stuff but this is pretty right on-

"When Leo and Sagittarius join together in a love match, the result is often fireworks! Both Signs are extremely dynamic and enjoy life to the fullest. This couple is full of life and fun to be around, with each person encouraging the other to aim high! Sagittarius's philosophical tendency warrants a distraction to Leo's obsession with the larger-than-life. The two will have genuine admiration and respect for one another. Both are warm, charismatic and charming; people enjoy being in the energy this couple radiates."

I find the part about the distraction to Leo's obsession with the larger-than-life especially true. *chuckles to self*
