Your Unexpected Zodiac BSF, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Usually, when it comes to compatible zodiac signs, birds of a feather tend to flock together.
There's great compatibility within each element of the action-oriented fire signs, emotional water signs, communicative air signs and grounded earth signs, while mixing and matching signs can come with mixed results. Still, there are several astrological pairings that can make for mighty friendships because of how different the two are. Curious about which sign might bring out the best in you? Keep scrolling to find out.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Taurus
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries has a pretty fiery reputation for needing to be first. This sign can act on impulse, doing first and asking questions later, with a sometimes aggressive approach to life. Their earthy zodiac neighbor, Taurus, is the opposite, with a cool and calm demeanor, and when the two learn to act and make decisions together, it can temper Aries' heat. Both are also super stubborn, which can make for a strong alliance when they're in agreement.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Sagittarius
Grounded earth sign Taurus is typically relaxed and homey, but their tendency to play it safe can also prevent them from taking the risks necessary to get where they need to go in life. Fire sign Sagittarius, on the other hand, is an adventurer and wanderer who can't stand to stay still. As best friends, Taurus can teach Sag how to enjoy the quieter moments in life, will Sagittarius can show Taurus how to break out of the same old habits and grasp at new opportunities.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Scorpio
There's a good reason that air sign Gemini is symbolized by twins. It can be like there are two opposing signs to this sign, which might be why they're so fickle, quickly losing interest in things before moving on to the next. Water sign Scorpio, however, has an intensity and passion for their interests that's unmatched, and their sense of loyalty means they stick with things. In fact, they're such big fans of what they love that they can get anyone on board, and when Gemini and Scorpio get together, Gemini can learn a thing or two about staying dedicated to something.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22 ): Libra
Cancer is a water sign, and those born under it can get a reputation for being moody and easily offended. They can benefit from befriending someone who'll always have their back, and they'll find that in friendly air sign Libra. Libras are also known to struggle with criticism, but they're peace-makers who will go to great lengths to protect and defend their friends, and they'll find strong harmony with Cancer, who'll be loyal to the end.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): Cancer
Attention-loving Leos are fire signs who are the star of every show, but this can also make them vain and dramatic at times. Sometimes, they just need someone to be real with them to help them reign it all in, and their watery neighbor, Cancer, just might be the best sign to do so. They're not afraid to be straight-up with the people who matter to them, while Leo can help to bring Cancer out of their crabby shell.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): Pisces
Earth sign Virgo is the perfectionist of the zodiac, and while they can spend far too much time getting every detail of their own work right, they can also be highly critical of others. This can make them butt heads with water sign Pisces, at first, but the closer the two get, the more Pisces' dreamy, open influence will positively impact them. Pisces can show them the power of letting loose and trusting the world—while Virgo can help Pisces harness their creativity into something tangible.

Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): Aries
Libra is an air sign represented by scales because they're all about balance. The only problem is that this desire to always keep things equal can also make them both wishy-washy and flakey—often to a frustrating degree. One of the signs this will frustrate most is fire sign Aries, who is one of the strongest deciders of the zodiac, but that's what actually makes this pair so strong. Aries can show Libra how to weigh decisions more quickly and make hard choices, while Libra can remind Aries to slow down and live in the moment.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): Gemini
Of all of the signs of the zodiac, water sign Scorpio is the most likely to be closed off and untrusting of others. Usually, they've been burned in the past, and so they don't open up to people easily. That's where air sign Gemini comes in. These friendly and good-natured twins know how to charm just about anyone with a gregarious spirit that's positively infectious. They can be great friends to Scorpio, reminding them how to rely on others, while Scorpio imparts to Gemini the importance of honesty and loyalty.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): Virgo
Fiery Sagittarius is the adventurer of the zodiac, and they don't get that reputation without being a bit blunt and reckless. They don't always think before they act, which is why they can really use the influence of thoughtful and considerate Virgo in their lives. Sometimes, they do need to be reeled back and reminded of the consequences before they leap into something, while Virgo can also learn from their carefree nature and trust in the universe to keep them afloat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): Leo
Earth signs are all known for their work ethic, but of the three, Capricorn is the best known for being work-obsessed. They tend to be all work and no play, which is where fun-loving fire sign Leo can come in. Leos know how to get things done while still being able to let loose and have fun, while Capricorn's grounded realism can help Leo when their egos get too big.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): Capricorn
Aquarius may be the hardest of the zodiac signs to define, slipping out of our grasp like thin air. Because they can be all over the place, Aquariuses can sometimes live somewhat unfocused and chaotic lives. Leave it to earthy Capricorns to know how to create some stability for them. Caps know how to bring method to Aquarius madness, while a Capricorn who befriends an Aquarius can learn to better think for themself.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): Aquarius
The final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, is a dreamy and sensitive sign that can sometimes be left feeling lost in the world. They often feel out of step with everyone around them, or like they're getting left behind, which is why an Aquarius's influence can be so powerful in their lives. Aquarius marches to the beat of its own drum, showing Pisces that independence is powerful and they don't have to fit in with everyone else to be strong, while Pisces' creativity can make Aquarius's big, game-changing ideas even stronger.
