With all the fuss about the thirteenth zodiac sign recently announced by NASA (don't worry, there's no astrological merit to it), it seems like astrology has become as popular as it was in years. What few people know about me is that I lowkey study astrology and can confirm that the thirteenth sign does not change a thing. I have been approached for advice and information regarding astrology by my friends on many occasions. I figured that now, there is no better time than to compile a guide to everything every zodiac sign needs to know about interacting with other signs.

I will break the ideal relationships of each sign into four categories: those to date, those to befriend, those to avoid, and "wildcards" which are signs that can potentially fit into any of the categories listed above. I have sorted the signs based on the element they belong to (fire, earth, air, or water), their ruling planet (Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Pluto, Sun, and Moon), their placement in the zodiac (mutable, fixed, cardinal), and my personal research and experiences. Keep in mind that astrology is not a proven "science," therefore, you should not make any rash decisions based on my findings. There are exceptions to every rule and for a full, detailed astrological report, one should visit this website.

Below is a go-to guide for everything every sign has to know about interacting with other signs.
