A pairing is a prompt, not a verdict
Sun-sign compatibility describes a traditional symbolic relationship between two signs. It does not measure two actual people’s safety, attraction, values or ability to build a life together. There is no responsible percentage that a simple sign pairing can assign to your future.
Ask about concrete needs
Try questions that turn a general theme into lived experience. How much time alone feels comfortable? What does reliable communication look like? How do you prefer to repair a disagreement? The answers may be more surprising, and more useful, than the descriptions you expected to fit.
Let behavior carry more weight
Notice whether both people can make requests, hear a no and take responsibility for their choices. Similar signs do not guarantee ease, and different signs do not prevent connection. Use a compatibility reading as a conversation starter while allowing the relationship itself to provide the evidence.
