Finding who you are compatible with for love, marriage, friendship, and romance centers on a lot of different factors. It obviously includes who you are physically and emotionally attracted to, but it also includes something deeper: astrology.

Astrology can tell us a lot about ourselves, but it can also tell us a lot about why we are the way we are, not just our basic personality traits.

When you look deeper into how the planets affect our personalities, you will find that certain planets help explain why we are compatible with other zodiac signs and why we are not compatible with others.
