"The start of a new year is the perfect time to reassess our lives and commitments, whether that be surrounding our careers, our friendships, or our relationships. While we know that a lot of change is in store for all of us in 2025, it’s often helpful (and let’s be honest, fun) to look to our zodiac signs for guidance and comfort. When it comes to romantic relationships, whether you’re in a relationship or working towards one, zodiac signs can help highlight the people you will be drawn to, and ultimately be the most compatible with. If you’re wondering where to start, there are a few specific zodiac pairings that often go above and beyond when it comes to compatibility and longevity. Some of these compatible signs thrive on common traits, while others find success by simply balancing each other out. Read on to find out if your sign is a part of the strongest relationship pairings in the zodiac:

Cancer and Scorpio
Cancer and Scorpio signs go together like water and water. That is to say, they blend together seamlessly. Where one sign lacks, the other fills up. This is especially true when it comes to emotions and communication. While Scorpios are elusive, often seeking alone time, intuitive Cancer signs will be able to read and understand when this need arises. Conversely, when Cancers are deep in their emotions, wearing their hearts on their sleeves most days, Scorpios will thrive on their emotional energy. The intense Scorpio is willing and able to be a solid compass, while the loving Cancer will never miss an opportunity to help out. Together, the two fluid water signs will ebb and flow as they work through conflict and consistently maintain harmony in their relationship.
How to thrive in a Scorpio/Cancer romance:
When it comes to Scorpios and Cancers, it’s important to put communication first. Sometimes the communication between these two signs can be non-verbal. Scorpios should be on the lookout for a shift in the emotional needs of their partner, encouraging them to share their feelings. In turn, Cancers should do what they do best: come from a place of love and support when their partner needs solitude. These two water signs will especially thrive together during conflict or big life changes. However, as Cancers and Scorpios are excellent at looking at the big picture, it’s equally important for these signs to notice the smaller moments when building a strong foundation for their relationship.
Gemini and Sagittarius
As air and fire signs, Gemini and Sagittarius relationships have the highest potential to turn into power couples. While both signs can be impulsive and restless, they react to these impulses in different, complementary ways. When a Gemini wants to change course, they adapt to their surroundings and go with their gut, without thinking about it too much. When a Sagittarius wants to change things up, they look to their past and search for acquired wisdom to guide them. When making decisions as a couple, these combined instincts will ensure that they always pick the most adventurous, yet practical, outcome. Above all, there is one common personality trait that ensures the compatibility of these two signs: their fearlessness to step outside of their comfort zones and try something new.
How to thrive in a Gemini/Sagittarius romance:
While Geminis and Sagittariuses are aligned in their way of moving through the world, they can sometimes get caught up in their own path, losing sight of what’s going on around them. To feel more grounded as a couple, both signs should work toward including other people in their plans. Whether that be a group trip to explore a new city or volunteering in their local communities, using their abilities to build a community together is key to feeling connected to the world around them.
Pisces and Taurus
In the case of a Pisces and Taurus romance, opposites really do attract. It’s no secret that Pisces are dreamers through and through. They often walk with their feet off the ground, living in a world that not everyone can see. Tauruses, on the other hand, are known for being grounded and present in the physical world. So, when Pisces signs are moving through the world in a fantasy, Tauruses are there to make sure they keep one foot in the real world. And when Tauruses get too serious, Pisces are there to help them see all the light around them. In the end, Taurus practicality will help Pisces get things done, while Pisces sensitivity will help Tauruses open their minds. As water and earth signs, Pisces and Taurus work together just like those elements do, constantly shifting and changing each other.
How to thrive in a Pisces/Taurus romance:
Because these two signs are complementary opposites in many ways, it’s important for Pisces and Tauruses to work slowly through any conflict. Pisces may want to talk things through at length, while Tauruses will have a specific point of view they want to succinctly communicate. Tauruses should work on daydreaming with their Pisces partner, and Pisces should aim to be as present as possible when spending quality time together. This can look like a trip filled with whimsical adventures, followed by a quiet meal with no phones or distractions. One thing is for certain, wherever Pisces and Tauruses end up together, their relationship will be both unique and grounded.
