These are your best romantic pairings, according to your ruling planet

If you’re into astrology, you probably already look to the stars when it comes to guidance in the world of dating.

But what about the planets?

Astrology suggests that each star sign’s ruling planet invests a person with certain personality traits and strengths, and creates a cosmic bond with the other sign that shares that planetary influence.

Basically, each star sign has a perfect planetary love match. So if you’re on the hunt for romance, you’d do well to keep an eye out for certain signs.

Let’s break it down.

Gemini and Virgo – both ruled by Mercury

Mercury is a fast-moving planet and therefore associated with travel, speed, communication, and commerce. This gifts both Gemini and Virgo with a heck of a lot to say, a major interest in gossip and news, quick brains, and a love of travel and exploration.

I am a Gemini and most of my pals are Virgos – we get on for these exact reasons, and message each other all day long about stuff we’ve seen, picked up, or done which we want to share. We’re always harvesting new news.

These two signs make a firm friendship, but can also prove to be a lasting love connection because they simply have so much in common.

Taurus and Libra – both ruled by Venus

Venus is often called Earth’s ‘sister planet’ because it’s so close in size, mass and density. As a zodiac ruler, it governs love, money, pleasure and attraction, which make both Libra and Taurus extremely romantic and sexy signs.

The Venus connection binds these two signs closely together in love. They have equal appetites for sex, romance, intimacy, beauty, indulgence, spending and pleasure. If Instagram made relationships, this would be the match.

Aries and Scopio – both ruled by Mars

Mars is the fiery red planet of ambition, passion, war, sex and ambition. Big themes, strong influences, powerful urges.

Both Scorpio and Aries are forces to be reckoned with, and both are extremely strong and dynamic characters.

The Mars influence makes them a formidable team when their agenda and attractions are aligned, this is the zodiac’s power couple.

But, if those loyalties fracture, then all hell could break loose. Run for cover when these two are at war.

Sagittarius and Pisces – both ruled by Jupiter

Jupiter is the jolly, happy, abundant and expansive planet of luck, fortune and success. It’s a truly wonderful cosmic influence to have in your corner and blesses both Sagittarius and Pisces with a lucky streak and an optimistic outlook on life.

For this reason, they go well together, and make a lovely, happy, positive couple.

You’ll find them counting their blessings, and generally spreading a little fairy dust sprinkling of joy everywhere they go. They’re the kind of couple that get invited to everything because they light up the room.

Leo and Cancer – ruled by the Sun and Moon, respectively

Although Leo and Cancer don’t share the same planet, the Sun and Moon do have a strong cosmic bond which draws these two signs together, in an opposites attract vibe.

Leo’s Sun ruler makes them confident, applause-hungry and energised by a crowd. Cancer’s Moon ruler makes them secretive, home-loving and energised by being in an intimate coupling or alone. And yet… when these two get together they fit.

Never a dull moment. Lots of drama. Both signs, happily, have big sexual appetites, so that’s always going on.

Aquarius and Capricorn – ruled by two outer planets, Uranus and Saturn, respectively

Aquarius and Capricorn don’t share a planet, but their ruling planets are both outer planets, a long way from the Sun and Earth, existing on the edges of our galaxy, slow moving orbits.

What that means is that these signs both work with the big picture, the long-term, the issues and concerns of the whole planet and race, rather than small or petty stuff.

Both live large, plan ahead, and take a healthy interest in what’s going on beyond their own back yard. Another zodiac power couple, kind of like two super heroes coming together.
