10 Zodiac Friendships That Really Shouldn't Work, But Somehow Do
You'd think there would be personality clashes, but it's actually the opposite.
Jacob Lund, KNMedia | Shutterstock Zodiac compatibility isn't just for romantic relationships — the same rules apply for friendships. Because there are just some pairs that seem pretty unlikely, but actually get along very well.
According to astrology, there are some zodiac signs that, based on their personality traits, shouldn't get along. But somehow, these zodiac signs go together.

Here are 10 zodiac sign pairs that go together against all odds
1. Pisces and Aquarius

Pisces and Aquarius are sometimes considered the odd balls of astrology. When these signs come together, it's a bit confusing as to what they're actually talking about.
Aquarius won't necessarily understand Pisces' emotional state all the time, but intellectually and humor-wise these two are inseparable.
The reason why these two signs actually work in the long run is that, with air signs like Aquarius, the minute they feel like a bond has formed and they become comfortable, over time they will let others in emotionally.
That's why Pisces is one of the best water signs to befriend Aquarius. Pisces is patient, laid-back, and is more than willing to explore the existence of extraterrestrials, too.
2. Leo and Virgo

Virgo and Leo make for one of the longest-standing zodiac friendships ever! Regardless of Virgo's constant need for practicality and logic in anything they associate with, and Leo's need for attention and affection, these two will always be friends.
There's something rare about Virgo's level of dependability and overly evident effort that could easily make any Leo weak in the knees. Leos are career-driven and ambitious, and Virgos love anyone who has a sense of direction in their lives.
For the most part, Virgos are good listeners and possess a strong enough opinion that can make Leo listen and take into consideration. One thing's for sure: these two know how to get stuff done — precisely.
3. Aries and Taurus

This duo achieves the perfect balance of giving and taking.
Aries has the ability to show Taurus the benefits of loosening up and not taking life so seriously, while Taurus can show Aries how to achieve their goals more efficiently and consistently.
Regardless of how much Taurus likes its environment to be controlled and structured, and Aries has a sworn oath to never take orders from anyone, these two actually work. There's just something about this earth sign that intrigues the feistiest fire sign to become its friend for life.
4. Aquarius and Virgo

These signs get along because they're both really smart. But Aquarius and Virgo as a pair are actually incredibly popular.
When these two come together, others are thoroughly impressed by their plans to change the world, discussions on current events, and the level of appreciation they have towards each other. The reason why Aquarius and Virgo work so well is because they're both intellectually driven.
Both zodiac signs possess a high level of knowledge through similar interests and topics of discussion that — over time, through constant conversations on current projects, ideas bouncing off of each other on what to do next, and a sense of dedication evident on both sides — the essence in authenticity of a lifelong friendship establishes itself.
5. Leo and Cancer

This friendship is fueled by matters of the heart. Cancer is a natural sweetheart and Leo has a pretty big heart overall.
Although Leo isn't very big on expressing themselves emotionally, Cancer has the ability to reach that side of a Leo. This water sign has the ability to create that safe space Leo longs for in order to communicate how they really feel every once in a while.
Leos are action-oriented while Cancers are emotionally driven. Over time, these two will have developed the sweetest friendship anyone would sob happily towards.
All vices aside, Cancer and Leo bring out sides in each other that no one else could uncover. Leos give Cancers that strength and confidence to face the world fearlessly, and Cancers give Leos the ideal environment in emoting their truest emotions, no matter how ridiculous Leo may think they sound.
6. Libra and Scorpio

The reason why these two signs get along so well is because they both lead an all-or-nothing type of lifestyle. The natural intensity Scorpio has mixed with Libra's consistent devotion to everything they love makes the perfect recipe for an influential partnership.
These two are relentlessly there for each other — not just because they're supposed to be, but because it comes naturally to them. Although they definitely have differences to work on, something they should never be worried about is their one-of-a-kind connection that will always be there, no matter what happens.
7. Aries and Scorpio

Known as the “power” duo, Aries and Scorpio love feeling powerful. Regardless of the power struggle both need to overcome, they could actually achieve some pretty great things. Once their heads are together in something, their friendship is described as two missing pieces of each others' puzzle.
Scorpio is the only water sign that can call out Aries more times than you can imagine, and Aries is the only fire sign that can satisfy Scorpio's intensity of having that upper hand in more ways than one. These two could actually rule the world, once they decide whose turn it is.
8. Leo and Capricorn

There is no other fire sign more perfect for Capricorn to be friends with. This is a business match made in heaven.
With Leo's natural ambition and determination, and Capricorn's relentless work ethic, these two have what it takes to build an empire from the ground up. But all business talk aside, Capricorn and Leo make great friends.
Leos love having conversations with Capricorn, admiring the way Capricorns glamorize the simple things in life. Capricorns are deeply fascinated by the way Leo carries pain and struggles through the days they seem genuinely happy.
This friendship displays the perfect amount of effort, love, and dedication, while constantly achieving success together at every corner.
9. Aries and Pisces

Aries and Pisces tend to become friends one way or another because their birthdays are close. Each of their elements, character traits, and personalities attract them toward each other no matter what.
Each sign has what the other desires to have. Pisces is fascinated with Aries' dominance and wishes they could command some areas in their own life. Aries is mesmerized by Pisces' emotional transparency and wishes they could also express all of their inner emotions without hesitation.
These two have one of the most beautiful friendships in astrology because they fill it with life-changing lessons, unconditional support, and experiences that cause both of them to never be the same again.
10. Scorpio and Sagittarius

This friendship is similar to Aries and Pisces, as both signs want what the other has. Scorpio desires Sagittarius' fire and charisma, and Sagittarius is in awe of this water sign's way of mystery and seclusion.
Sagittarius is the light of Scorpio's life. This water sign is prone to doubts, fear, and a lot of what-ifs. Having Sagittarius around as a friend in Scorpio's life would be very beneficial and highly recommended to every Scorpio who isn't friends with any Sagittarius yet.
Sagittarius is the most optimistic sign, lives for adventure, and always strives to live the best life they can. This duo makes great friends in the long run because they constantly are each others' source of inspiration and aspiration.
