In the realm of , some believe destiny is written in the stars.
Whether you’re well-versed in your birth chart or don’t believe in , it could be intriguing to consider what the zodiac suggests.
The astrology gurus at Psychic World teamed up with psychic Inbaal Honigman to uncover which star signs gel well and offer tips for those less astrologically aligned during festivities.
The zodiac signs sparking the most natural romantic chemistry
It seems that opposites do indeed attract, as the psychic explained: “Pisces and Virgos are quite different in character, but both are two of the most romantic signs of the Zodiac.”
She explained: “Pisces is dreamy, creative and sensitive, whereas Virgo is practical, organised and sensible.

On a date, they’ll prioritise their romantic connection over their differing personality traits.”
“This pair is a perfect case of polarity – when two signs are on the exact polar opposites of the Zodiacal wheel born six months apart, they can enjoy romantic compatibility despite being different.”
The zodiac signs with compatibility issues
Inbaal named Libras and Geminis may struggle to connect romantically.
“Libras approach date night like a red carpet event, they’ll get dressed up, smell nice and think up interesting conversation topics. Geminis are so sociable, that they’ll arrive on a date straight from work, and be on their way to another event afterwards.”
“This incompatibility, of Libra being all-in on the date, and Gemini turning up late and flustered, makes the pair incompatible for date night. As they’re both air signs, they’ll have plenty to talk about, but the date itself will struggle to gain momentum.”
Another set of signs are inherently mismatched, she added.

“Leo and Aquarius star signs will also find it hard to get the right date night balance. Leos love a date that is fancy and unique, consisting of interesting experiences and potentially multiple locations. Aquarius on the other hand are humble and low-key, and prefer a date that’s about getting to know somebody, not about exciting attractions.”
“This incompatibility means that they won’t both enjoy the same date. Their polarity means that they’ll be drawn towards one another, but their chemistry will be hampered by their very different likes and dislikes.”
The surprising pairing that just works
“Two of the most popular, yet most inexplicable love matches are Sagittarius and Taurus,” she said.
“Sagittarius are free spirits, fun loving, adventurous and loud. Taurus are reserved, bookish, respectful, and their humour is drier than the Sahara. And yet, again and again, those couples are drawn to each other, and even more shockingly, they last well together.
“Taurus lets Sagittarius be their full selves, without an ounce of judgement. And Sagittarius brings their colourful perspective of life to the quiet Taurean. They appreciate each other without trying to change one another.”

Compatibility regardless of your sign
When it comes to dating dynamics, it’s all about communication.
Inbaal said: “Any two signs that have similar communication styles will have a great time on a date.”
For instance: “Gemini and Sagittarius for example, both love to laugh. They’ll have a fun-filled, loud date, where both will do their best to be entertaining for the other person. These two signs love fast-talking about their experiences and adventures, they enjoy exaggerating, making up jokes and getting rowdy with the other tables.”
“Taurus and Libra are both peaceful and elegant, so their communication styles suit each other well. They’ll have a calm, graceful date where they’ll talk about thick books, stately homes and classical music. They’ll let each other finish their sentences, and they’ll nod and listen in a considerate way.”
However, she warns that not all signs share this harmonious connection.
If you’re looking for that elusive spark on a date, the stars may have some answers – or warnings. Take Cancer and Virgo: their communication is like chalk and cheese.
“Cancer and Virgo, for example, have vastly different ways of putting their opinions across. Virgo is well-spoken and meticulously researched, a human Wikipedia, whereas sensitive Cancer goes with feels, not facts. Their opposite styles of communication means that the date would be a struggle, as they’ll disagree about many topics”
The same applies to the pairing of Aries and Scorpio – it could be a case of talkative meets tight-lipped.
“Aries and Scorpio, for example, communicate differently also, with Aries being a bit of an over-sharer, and Scorpio liking to keep a secret. Their communication will be stilted and a bit one sided, as Aries will reveal all, and Scorpios will be taken aback and become withdrawn.”
How to make two opposites attract
“Vastly different signs who like each other, need a strategy for date nights, and there’s one of two options: one way is to take turns. If one of you likes libraries and the other likes skydiving, then rotate! Have an adventure one time and stay in and order sushi the other.”
And if that sounds too risky, there’s the tried-and-tested neutral ground. “The other way is to keep things neutral. Meet for a 7pm meal at a pizzeria which everyone likes, put your phones away and chat about your day, then go for a stroll, and finish with a bottle of wine on the sofa. Is it boring? Nope, it’s harmonious.”
