Zodiac Compatibility Matrix: All 144 Combinations
Updated: · Stellyra Editorial
The highest-rated zodiac matches are same-element pairs (trines) — fire with fire, water with water — and the complementary duos fire–air and earth–water. The table below rates all 144 sign combinations from 1 to 10; tap any cell for the full analysis of that pair in love, friendship and work.
Read your sign in the left column, then find your partner’s sign in the top row. Scores are symmetrical.

How these scores are built
Every score is an editorial rating built from three classical astrological factors — no random numbers, and the criteria are public:
- The whole-sign aspect between the two signs: trine and sextile score high, square and quincunx low, opposition attracts but polarises
- The elements: same element flows, fire–air and earth–water feed each other, fire–water and air–earth strain
- The modalities: two cardinal signs compete, two fixed signs deadlock, cardinal plus fixed makes a strong working duo
Frequently Asked Questions
Which zodiac signs are most compatible?
Same-element pairs score highest: fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) with each other, and likewise the earth, air and water trios. Complementary element pairs — fire with air, earth with water — are close behind. Our top-rated pairs are Aries & Sagittarius (10/10), Taurus & Capricorn (10/10), Gemini & Aquarius (10/10).
Can a low-scoring pair still work?
Yes. A sign-level score describes the archetypal dynamic, not your relationship. Squares and oppositions demand more negotiation, and many strong couples are built exactly on that tension. A full synastry of both birth charts is always more telling than Sun signs alone.
Is Sun-sign compatibility enough?
No — it is a starting point. Moon, Venus, Mars and the Ascendant shape attraction and everyday life at least as much as the Sun. Use the matrix for orientation, then run a full synastry with birth dates for a personal answer.
Why do the same two signs get one score on every site but different scores here and there?
Because sign scores are editorial. Every site weighs elements, modalities and aspects differently — and most publish no criteria at all. Ours are listed on this page and on the methodology page.
