It's time to pry your potential lovers natal chart out of their hands.

When entering anything in life, it's best to be prepared. 

Job interviews, university courses, managing your daily workload, deciding what to meal-prep for the week, what you’re going to wear to that dinner on the weekend. The devising never ends. As we strive to put more focus on getting our ducks in a row, there has been a subtle push to let the universe do some of the work for us. 

Dating is an area where letting the universe do its thing might be the best way forward. Even when you think you're in control, it tends to surprise you in the best and worst ways possible.

So we're looking to the cosmos for matters of the heart. Tinder has dutifully recruited Devina Badwhar, their very own "spiritual coach", to share her cosmic insights on the signs that are best suited for each other. With a 75% increase in the use of the term “zodiac” in Tinder bios globally recorded between May 2020 - 2022, it seems they could really be on to something. 

So, just as Saturn retrograde begins, which usually signals the start of a productive and not destructive (thanks Mercury) spell, here are the signs you’re most compatible with. It's time to pry your potential lovers natal chart out of their hands.

♈️ Aries: March 20 – April 19

Aries x Scorpio

According to Badhwar, Scorpios are by far the best soulmate for Aries because they are both governed by Mars. They share the same passion, energy and intimacy, making for a fiery yet fulfilling match.

♉️ Taurus: April 20 – May 20

Despite being headstrong and stubborn, Taurians are one of the most sociable and dependable signs in the zodiac, which is why Libra is their best match. Taurians know how to comfort a Libra and offer them the stability they look for in a relationship. Together, they share an intense bond.

♊️ Gemini: May 21 – June 20

This week as Mercury stations direct in Taurus Geminis will be feeling especially confident. Outgoing and oh-so extroverted, Geminis need someone to match their talkative and quick-witted personalities. That’s why a fellow Gemini or a Libran make for a perfect match. Both air signs, the pair are innately compatible. Librans can also balance a Gemini’s fiery character, while another Gemini will be able to match their energy. 

♋️ Cancer: June 21 – July 22

Cancerians are one of the funnest signs of the zodiac, boasting a great sense of humour and loving easy-going personality. Life at the moment has forced Cancer signs to break down deeply embedded patterns when it comes to romance. Cancerians need someone who is kind and reliable, which is why they might find exactly what they’re looking for in a Pisces. They are emotional and loving and both have a tough exterior.

♌️ Leo: July 23 – August 22

Emotions are running high for Leos this week, especially if they are rekindling a romance. As Mercury moves direct, they will gain clarity and will give more time to a potential lover. So where are they most likely to find that love? Leo’s are loyal, romantic, passionate and fearless and more often than not need a sign with the same “main character”energy, which Aries happen to have in spades. Both fire signs, Leo and Aries are the ultimate power couple. 

♍️ Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Saturn retrograde in Aquarius will broaden the horizons for Virgos in the romance department, making it an ideal time to find their match. Virgos are practical and quick thinkers, but they can be picky when it comes to dating. During this time, Virgos should give matches they wouldn’t usually pick a chance, especially if it is a Cancer. A perfect example of opposites attract, their differences complement each other with a deep love and understanding. 

♎️ Libra: September 23 – October 22

Love and commitment have entered the fray this week, forcing Libans to turn their attention inward to help them find exactly what they’re looking for. Librans are friendly, emotional, romantic and passionate who tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves. They also have high standards and want someone who can match their expectations, which is why they usually find love with a Leo or an Aquarian.

♏️ Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

Scorpios are creative and bold who often look for someone who can match their determination. However, they must remember not to ignore obvious red flags, but to enter new relationships with more openness. The best sign to help them do this is a Virgo who can understand a Scorpio’s mind. Together, they can create a very practical bond that’s full of fire and passion.

♐️ Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Saturn’s station retrograde will force Sagittarius to commit themselves more and to meet any potential partners halfway. Seriously intelligent and independent, Sagittarius will find the best partners in an Aries or Leo, who will be able to give them space when they need it  but also all the love a Sagittarius needs. 

♑️  Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

With Mars and Jupiter in Aries, Capricorns are reminded to put themselves above others making them the biggest cheerleaders for their partners. However, they expect the same in return, which is why a Taurus is the best soulmate for a Capricorn. Loyal and reliable, they are just what a Capricorn yearns for. 

♒️ Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

Aquarius are extremely clear about what and who they want, but they’re also self-reliant and independent making it hard for other signs to enter their world. An extroverted Gemini who can hold their own will pique an Aquarian’s interest as they would complement each other’s energies to a tee. 

♓️  Pisces: February 19 – March 19

Pisces, otherwise known as the ‘old souls’ of the zodiac, are emotionally sensitive, easy going and highly adaptable. However, they might feel the need to ignore emotional wounds from past relationships, making healing very important to them. Their perfect match can be found in an Aquarius, another big valuer of love. Together, they will build a long lasting relationship and work hard to keep it.
