As the sun dips behind the hazy outline of Mount Rainier on Valentine’s Day, a thick blanket of darkness envelops the sky, revealing a paint-splattered canvas. Splattered on that canvas are seemingly perfunctory white flecks — stars — whose arrangement spells out your fate every night as you descend into dreamland. 

Whether or not you believe in love at first sight or star-crossed lovers, Tatler presents to you some of the most romantically compatible zodiac signs according to astrology. 

Cancer (June 21st to July 22nd) and Pisces (February 19th to March 20th): 98% compatibility 

Congratulations! You are probably in a healthy relationship filled with emotional depth, intuition, and care for each other, allowing you to easily connect and share a deep understanding of each other’s needs and wants. 

So, for Valentine’s Day, pack your bags — it’s time for a relaxing beach date under the stars! With each other’s company, there’s nothing you can’t do… except maybe don’t get so lost in each others’ eyes that you forget the way back!

Taurus (April 20th to May 20th) and Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19th): 98% compatibility

Compared to the previous grouping, you guys have a very different but just as effective approach to love. Known for great relationship security and practicality, you both prefer an honest and direct style of communication, which helps you solve any problems that arise (just hopefully none that occur on Valentine’s Day). What a power couple!

Psstt. Just a few words of advice from your single friend. Valentine’s Day is supposed to be a romantic day for you guys to connect, so don’t be so swamped with work and goals that you can’t buy flowers for your special someone. And I know what you’re thinking — no study dates.

Aries (March 21st to April 19th) and Leo (July 23rd to August 22nd): 97% compatibility 

You guys are another powerhouse couple with a burning passion for each other! Equipped with very adventurous personalities, your relationship is always filled with energy and enthusiasm. 

Don’t fight too much over the best spot for your date night — I promise a little bit of compromise goes a long way! Have a wonderful (and hopefully not tumultuous) Valentine’s Day! 

Scorpio (October 23rd to November 21st) and Pisces (February 19th to March 20th): 97% compatibility

A Scorpio and Pisces couple aka THE clairvoyants. It’s uncanny how you guys can just stare into each others’ eyes and instantly understand everything your significant other is thinking and feeling. But what can I say… there’s a reason why you’re soulmates. 

I won’t waste your time yapping at you when you already have everything you need right next to you. Have a magical Valentine’s Day!

Virgo (August 23rd to September 22nd) and Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19th): 95% compatibility 

While not infused with the intense passion that most high school relationships are built from, once you make your way to each other, you are endgame. Literally. Thanos could perform the Snap a hundred times and you’d still be standing together! 

Speaking of Thanos, there’s nothing better than a big bucket of popcorn and subtle (or not) cuddling at the movie theater on Valentine’s Day — even if Marvel isn’t really your thing. 

Aries (March 21st to April 19th) and Sagittarius (November 22nd to December 21st): 93% compatibility

If there was a couple that represented fire, it would be the classic Aries + Sagittarius pairing. You two have a fun, spontaneous, and adventurous relationship — classic traits of high school sweethearts.

Be careful though — you might be hot, but getting burned by your loved ones on Valentine’s Day sure isn’t. As contradictory as it seems, less is always more in your relationship. 

Gemini (May 21st to June 20th) and Libra (September 23rd to October 22nd): 93% compatibility

As crazy as it might sound, you are THE smart couple. Or, in other words, a mentally stimulating couple that thrives off of intellectual connection (I hope that sounded witty enough for you).

While you’re up at night talking on Valentine’s Day, make sure you set a bedtime — otherwise, you’ll probably lose track of it when you’re neck-deep in a conversation about Confucius’s thoughts on love or finding the equation to graph two halves of a heart coming together as one (the answer to the latter is x2+(5y4–|x|)2=1. You’re welcome).

Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21) and Aquarius (January 20 to February 18): 90% compatibility

Last but not least on our list of love is Sagittarius and Aquarius. You share a fun-spirited relationship filled with adventure, innovation, playful affection, and a twinge of intellectual curiosity. As a dynamic duo, you really are the jack of all trades, master of ALL.

As the kings and queens of each others’ lives, consider a deck of cards during a (hopefully) warm, sunny picnic — there are so many options that will definitely pique the interest of your clever, Lakeside brains.

What’s that? You and your crush didn’t make it onto this list? Sorry about that. There are more stars in the sky than specks of sand on Earth — do you really expect me to read them all in one sitting? All I can tell you is that one cluster of stars a hundred billion light years northwest of the Puget Sound is telling me that you’re going to score a date with your crush very, very soon.
