How do I know if I am compatible with my partner? (The Sun Sign Compatibility Approach)

Love, relationships and compatibility are always on our minds. While falling in love doesn't need a fancy algorithm, determining long-term compatibility sometimes does. However, our sun signs make the task a lot easier. They give all the information you'd ever need about the suitability of a potential match. In a relationship, the sun signs of the people involved determine their equation and prospects to a large extent. Here's a list that will help you decide what your partner looks for in a relationship and whether you are astrologically suitable for each other.

Aries Compatibility (21 March- 20 April)

Aries is the infant of the zodiac, the first sign in this interesting chronology. For this reason, Arians often come across as childish or immature. In a relationship, your Aries lover will be bold, impulsive, playful and simply bursting with nervous energy. They can also be selfish, domineering and easily bored. Arians love independence and demand a lot of space in the relationship though they love to boss around their partners. Make sure you don't burden them with routines and duties.

Taurus Compatibility (21 April-21 May)

Taureans dig sensual pleasures. If you are involved with one, ensure that you are well-groomed and dressed perfectly from head to toe. Do not forget to praise their choice of perfume, their hairdo, the tie. A Taurean is a great lover of money and constantly saves for the future. Appreciate this trait of your Taurean lover and start curbing unnecessary expenses if you wish to be in their good books. Though usually calm, they can be really hard to appease once angry!

Gemini Compatibility (22 May-21 June)

Geminis love their freedom. Any attempts to impose your will on them can only prove to be disastrous. Gemini is the sign of change. They have no memory of yesterday, nor do they particularly intend to. Your Gemini lover will be a hit with people of the opposite sex but that shouldn't get you jealous since Geminis are naturally friendly and popular. However, commitment is not exactly their favourite word. Because they are so volatile and can't keep from bouncing from one object of desire to the other, your relationship might well be a failure if you do not keep them interested or intellectually challenged enough.

Cancer Compatibility (22 June- 22 July)

Cancerians live to commit and long for meaningful interactions more than meaningless flings. They will shower their significant others with love to the point of smothering. The trick is to not let your Cancerian lover fall into one of their moods, for they can be extremely difficult to handle once that happens. Since they happen to be touchy, make sure you don't criticize them unless you absolutely have to.

Leo Compatibility (23 July-22 August)

Leo is the most powerful sign of the zodiac. Leos are dynamic, warm, regal, confident and enthusiastic. They can also be dominating, self-centred, short tempered. They long for power and influence. The key word with Leos is a flattery. Flatter them once each day and you are good to go.. They constantly need to feel special and a class above the rest. Do not belittle them. It can turn your purring cat into a roaring beast.

Virgo Compatibility (23 August- 23 September)

Extremely practical and cleanliness freaks. Virgo is the sign of idealism and perfection. They look for the perfect partner. If you can't look clean and orderly at all times, a Virgo partner is not for you. They might come across as picky and critical of every situation. They have quick minds and want a partner who can keep up with their wit and interests. Since they are prone to bouts of worry, calm your Virgo partner down and be patient with their needs.
