Aspect name: Conjunct
Dating someone of the same sign can either create sibling rivalry or a beautiful reflection. On the upside, a person who's so much like you could have a lot of natural tolerance for your strange habits, since they probably share them, You often want the same things from life, and could flourish with one another's support. They say relationships are like a mirror. You’ll need a lot of self-love if you’re going to gaze at such a strong reflection of yourself. At other times, you may be too similar to offer valuable perspective or balance each other's neuroses out. If you're both moody Cancers, who brings the sunshine and stability? If you're both ambitious Capricorns, who keeps the home fires burning? You could end up feeling more of a brother-sister vibe than a romantic one. Ultimately, you've got to come home to yourself anyway, so why not enjoy a second helping?
Aspect name: Semisextile
Curiosity is the magnet that draws these two extremely different signs together. Because of your closeness on the zodiac, you feel a karmic connection, and both have something to learn from each other. However, you have no elements or qualities in common. You are likely to approach life, love, and relationships from very different places. The sign after yours is said to be an "evolved" form of you, with personality traits formed in reaction to the hardships you suffer. Like next door neighbors, you’ll always be curious about each other. (Once you glimpse into somebody's living room window, don't you want to know more?) However, there's a reason most neighbors keep a fence up to separate their personal property. Johnny-next-door's house may be fun to visit, but do you want his tacky lawn furniture and weed collection unleashed on your well-manicured English garden? A 1-sign apart romance is a gamble, similar to the TV show Trading Spaces, where next-door neighbors redecorate each other's homes. The results will either devastate or amaze you.
Look on either side of your sign to find your neighbors:
Aries - Taurus - Gemini - Cancer - Leo - Virgo
Libra - Scorpio - Sagittarius - Capricorn - Aquarius - Pisces
Aspect name: Sextile
These natural friends just "get" each other, and can enjoy endless hangouts and conversation. That's because you’re made up of compatible elements. You’ll either be a combo of feminine signs (earth and water), or masculine signs (fire and air). According to astrology, earth and water signs tend to be gentle, conservative and slow; while fire and air signs tend to be more dynamic, expressive and quick. Although romance isn't a guarantee, communication will flow, and you won't have to constantly explain yourself to this person. Often, this relationship will form after years of platonic friendship. One day, this person magically changes from buddylicious to bootylicious. Sustaining the romantic tension can be a challenge though. Still, if it doesn’t work out, you may remain close friends long after the love affair ends.

Aspect name: Square
A sign that's square to yours shares the same quality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable), so your goals may be similar. However, this person's sign is in an incompatible element (fire, water, air, or earth), and that can stir up tension. For example, Aries is a fire sign, which usually gets along with air signs or other fire signs. The key to this relationship is balancing the ingredients. Throw too much water or dirt on a fire, and the flame goes out. At the same time, a fire must be built on the earth, and a little water can help manage a fire that's burning too fast. You’ll have to constantly compromise to keep from dominating or draining each other. You’ll have to switch between nurturing each other and helping each other get established. Expect your inner children to raid the playground on a regular basis. If you take the challenge, you'll have to stay on your toes—the work could be as rigorous as it is rewarding. Jump in only if you're up for the challenge.

Four Signs Apart—Home Sweet Home
Aspect name: Trine
It's so nice to come home to somebody who understands you. Somebody who wants the same things from life, who accepts you for who you are, who doesn't make you work overtime for love. It's so….zzzzzzz….wait, did we just fall asleep? These are some of the easiest relationships, since you're never "out of your element." Fire is most comfortable with fire, earth likes earth, and so on. The only potential hazard is that things are so comfortable, it's easy to get lazy. Keep the passion alive. Don't cut off the rest of the world, even if you've built a paradise for two. Just because your relationship is smooth, doesn't mean it can't devolve if you take each other for granted. Change out of the sweatpants and comb your hair. Hang out with other friends to keep the energy flowing.

Fire trines: Aries - Leo - Sagittarius

Fasten your seatbelt, because you're going on an emotional rollercoaster ride. The highs and lows, the devastating drops and terrifying climbs…this relationship has 'em all. Even after you puke your guts out, you'll want to ride this twisted beast again and again. But your hopes of conquering your fears may be in vain. These relationships can be the most passionate—and the most painful—in the zodiac. Expect to wave at least six flags when declaring one of your many truces. You should also plan to work hard…just to get it hardly working. Your two signs have no compatible qualities or elements, so you're as different as night and day. There's always something about the other person that remains an unsolved mystery. As a result, attraction and frustration will burn bright. Every day will somehow feel like a first date, and the butterflies will remain in your stomach no matter how many years you stay together. Breakups could haunt you for the rest of your lives. This temptation island may leave no survivors—or it could send you on a lifelong adventure finding clues for a buried treasure. Note: you must be fully realized and highly self-aware to enjoy this relationship.

Aspect name: Opposite
Your opposite sign is your "other half"—like the Dr. Evil to your Austin Powers. Falling in love with this beautiful stranger can feel a little trippy at times. The relationship will either be rocked by major sibling rivalry, or you'll balance each other out beautifully. From the great distance across the zodiac, you can see each other fully -- and hidden parts of yourself reflected back. As a result, you can offer amazing perspective, as long as you're willing to hear the hardcore truth about yourself in return. If you're not ready for that, save your mojo for somebody else. But if you're up for some major growing pains in the name of love, this one will be simply groovy, baby.
