If astrology can help to predict the kind of romantic relationships you can find success with, then it sure can help out on your #squadgoals too. Read on for your most compatible friendship potentials based on your star sign…

Aries

Everybody loves you because you’re adorable, warm and super-friendly (unless you’re in some kind of competition or game, and then you’re a murderous rival, but that aside…). You need friends with equal levels of energy and passion, which means your Fire sign compatriots are always ~ride or die~ with you, that’s Leo, Aries and Sagittarius. Librans are good for you, because they listen to, advise and soothe you when you get too ~fiery~. Scorpios share your ruling planet- Mars- and can be challenging but inspiring partners in crime (literally, actually).

Taurus

Libra is your perfect shopping / beautifying / spa-day / wining and dining pal, because you’re both ruled by Venus and into the ~good life~. And, after all that, what else is there in life? Well, your fellow Earth signs (Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus) are on your wavelength when it comes to security, career, money and status, so you all share a practical and materialistic outlook on life and enjoy discussing things like pensions, ISAs, shopping bargains and house prices (yawn…).

Gemini

A lot of people claim to hate Geminis, painting us (I am one) as fickle, two-faced, cruel and devious. I would beg to reframe those traits as Geminis being adaptable, diplomatic, analytical and shrewd. We are good people to have in your corner! PSA over. Geminis fly high with their opposite sign Sagittarius, both are adventurous, spontaneous, social and curious, eager to explore the world. Geminis love hanging with other Air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) because they can chatter, debate, dissect and discuss any topic endlessly.

Cancer

You’re the kind of friend with whom people share their deepest secrets, and you’re good at keeping them too. So, ideally, you need people with a lively life, shall we say, so there’s plenty of ~tea~ to spill, which leads you towards Leos, Libras, Scorpios and Geminis. Capricorns make a good BFF for you, because they’re rock solid, and will not let you down (which is your secret fear of your friendships). Pisces is also a good confidant for you, because they’re equally empathetic and wise.

Leo

Your crew include your fellow Fire signs (Leo, Aries and Sagittarius) because they’re as lively, hair-brained, wild and fun as you (let the good times roll…), although fur can fly if they don’t let you be ~squad leader~ (you’re such a boss cat, Leo). Aquarius is an unusual, but rewarding, friendship match for you, because they are your total opposite, but they share a desire to understand and explore the world around them. They are assertive too, so they don’t let you walk all over them. You appreciate their intellect.

Virgo

Pisceans fascinate you- they’re just so ~out there~ and imaginative, and you enjoy going on a surprising and unique adventures together, though their organisation skills are lacking (which is where you are most useful to them, actually). Geminis are ruled by Mercury (like you) so you both love gossip and dissecting the personalities of others in your squad (you love a ~common enemy~). Earth signs are also compatible with you (that’s Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn) as you’re all on each other’s wavelength: practical, sensible, materialistic.

Libra

Aries is a surprise buddy for you because, as your opposite sign, they offer everything you lack, and vice versa. Their ambitious, decisive, passionate and spontaneous personality revs up your more analytical, organised, diplomatic nature. You calm them down, and they fire you up. Taurus is a wonderful shopping / spa / beauty therapy / wining and dining partner-in-luxury as your shared Venus planetary ruler makes you both love the ~good life~. Other Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) keep you on your toes, you enjoy the banter and gossip with them.

Scorpio

Other Water signs (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer) ~get~ your intense, passionate nature, and need for intimacy and total loyalty in your friendships. You may not have LOADS of friends, but those you have are ride or dies. You can be guarded, which makes it hard for others to get to know you, but Taurus will stay the course and work you out (which you secretly want to happen). Aries can be a real live-wire kind of friend, who you enjoy mad escapades with (and then fall out spectacularly with…), but, hey, nothing has to last forever, right?

Sagittarius

Your inner circle is best formed from your fellow Fire signs (Leo, Aries and Sagittarius). They are not going to judge your brand of ~crazy~ because they all have their own, too. Gemini is another hot potato to add to the bonfire, they are up for anything (like yourself) and, together, you can raise the stakes till one of you does something outrageous.
Pisces has a Jupiter planetary ruler, like you, and can provide the quieter, more philosophical and intellectual discussions you do enjoy. Putting the worlds to rights, like BFFs do.

Capricorn

Cancerians are a good friendship match for you, and you can form lasting and loyal bonds, you’ve got each other’s backs. You both appreciate the value of consistency and commitment. Other Earth signs make comfortable social buddies, because you enjoy the same kind of vibes (luxury, comfortable, up-market) and activities (shopping, indulging, organising). So get yourself a Cancer / Capricorn / Virgo / Taurus squad and you won’t ever be bored, lonely or misunderstood!

Aquarius

You can be a bit of a loner, Aquarius, because you live in your head a lot (it’s damned interesting in there…) and you enjoy pondering and imagining. However, other Air signs can debate, discuss and banter with you on your level, so you need their sparky cleverness to keep your cogs whirring so fast. Seek out Libras, Geminis and other Aquarians. You also like sparring with Leos, both of you are assertive and confident, and you enjoy challenging each other’s wits and humour.

Pisces

You’re one of the zodiac’s best friends, because you’re so kind and compassionate, and a natural empath. As such, other Water signs (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer) make the best buddies because they genuinely appreciate your emotional depth and insight. Virgo also makes for a good buddy because they help you with the ~tough~ things in life, and give good practical advice and support. For fun times, seek out your fellow jolly Jupiter-ruled sign, Sagittarius, they KNOW how to enjoy life.
