Sometimes, searching for a partner can be difficult, finding that special person to share your joys and sorrows. When you meet someone, you want to know everything: likes, interests, hobbies; in short, discover if you have things in common. The compatibility between signs can help you.
What does it depend on if you are compatible with someone? There are many theories about it; psychology points out that personality influences how you were raised and the everyday experiences that marked you, among other factors.
A study by the University of Amsterdam, applied to more than five thousand marriages in the United States, reveals that a more remarkable similarity with the couple is the ideal situation in terms of feeling more supported in the relationship; common interests play in favor of both men and women in aspects such as the enjoyment of new experiences, as well as the appreciation of art and culture.
Astrologer Ishtar Freya commented that several very specialized astrological studies help us deeply understand the nature of relationships.
One of them is synastry, which refers to compatibility through two astrological charts where you can see the exact place of the planets of one member of the couple, and so in the chart of the other, and determine the good aspects, as well as areas of opportunity.
“We must keep in mind that the ideal partner represents much more than just the signs’ compatibility, but we can identify with which signs you get along better”.

Signs and elements
Freya details that in astrology, there are four elements: fire, air, earth, and water. In addition, each sign is divided as follows:
- Cardinal: They start something; they take the first step to explore.
- Fixed: They give structure to what the cardinal has already started.
- Mutable: It can be on both sides to initiate and give structure.
Nature of the elements
The energies will influence our way of relating; these are the characteristics of the elements:
- Fire: It is a powerful energy, agile, purifying; it moves a lot, it generates change. You can build or destroy.
- Earth: It puts the seed that will be germinated, so there is no life without earth.
- Air: It helps the seeds to be pollinated by carrying them through the skies.
- Water: It represents the energy that comes and goes. You cannot contain it; it is sensitive, psychic, and very fluid; if it stays in one place, it stagnates.

How do you know if they are compatible?
The first thing is to identify your sign and element; for example, if you are a water sign, you will get along well with others of this same element, explains astrologer Ishtar Freya.
This is the list of the signs that correspond to each element:
Water
- Cancer: Cardinal
- Scorpio: Fixed
- Pisces: Mutable
Earth
- Taurus: Fixed
- Virgo: Mutable
- Capricorn: Cardinal
Air
- Gemini: Mutable
- Libra: Cardinal
- Aquarius: Fixed
Fire
- Aries: Cardinal
- Leo: Fixed
- Sagittarius: Mutable
“Water and earth complement each other, just like air and fire, so that we will be compatible with those other signs”.
Ishtar Freya
However, the opposite signs can be compatible, “Sometimes there will be energies that complement you 100% of that sign that is your opposite, but there will be others in which you will be in shock, that you will feel that something is not there, it is missing something, or there is a confrontation”.
Freya points out that we are made up of many energies, making us unique and unrepeatable. The relationship between sign and element hardly indicates compatibility; for greater accuracy, she recommends studying the birth chart, both yours and that of the person you are interested in.
