Astrology
Compatibility when it comes to Astrology runs deep. There is a lot to unpack when studying the stars, and your rising sign is your guide to experiencing life and love to the fullest. It’s not just about what sun sign aligns with yours, you also have to take into account your moon sign, rising, Venus, Mars, and more. Some may say your rising sign is even more significant when it comes to your birth chart than your sun sign, as your rising sign is at the very top of your birth chart, and it’s what leads and directs your entire chart.
Rising Sign Compatibility: The Most Compatible Rising Signs
Your rising sign, otherwise known as the ascendant, is your persona, physical appearance, how you see the world, and the impression you make on others. When it comes to compatibility, you’ll want to make sure your rising sign is compatible with another's, as this is the type of energy you are going to be moving through when experiencing life together. Have you ever wondered why some people you can get along great with when it’s just you two, but the second you go somewhere in public with them or are around other people, things change?
Or, on the other side, have you noticed that with some people, you see things similarly to them, have the same values, and have similar goals that allow you to move through life as one rather than feeling like you live completely separate lives outside of the relationship? This is where rising sign compatibility comes into play.
Since your rising sign is also your physical appearance, what you are attracted to, and who is into you, there is a mutual attraction when the rising signs are compatible. Meeting someone with a compatible rising sign as yourself will have you feeling adored and truly seen.
Your personal aesthetic and how you come across is received well by them, and they will not only get all your quirks, but their taste and aesthetic will complement yours. It’s hard to miss when two people have compatible rising signs, as you can not only see their chemistry, but you can feel it. Those are the couples you look at and go, “Wow, they look so good together.”
Here are some of the rising signs with the best compatibility:
The Most Compatible Rising Sign Pairings
Scorpio Rising & Pisces Rising Compatibility
Scorpio Risings and Pisces Risings just get each other. They both have a more emotional experience of life, and they both see things with this type of lens. These two are also great at balancing each other out. Pisces Risings live life in an almost fairytale type of way and are always imagining how they want things to be, inspiring Scorpio to believe in the unbelievable. Scorpio Risings are a little more protective over their energy, and this helps Pisces look at themselves with more sovereignty.
This is a creative duo that will love to spend time in each other’s company, and you can feel the love the two have together.
Gemini Rising & Sagittarius Rising Compatibility
Gemini Rising and Sagittarius Rising have a lot in common, and their energies match well. Being both mutable rising signs, they similarly flow through life and are flexible, adaptable, and spontaneous. This is a relationship where they love to keep moving, travel, and experience life, and this is a social couple who share friends in common or like to be around the same crowd. Gemini and Sagittarius Rising live from the mind, and the communication between the two is great.
Being opposite signs on the zodiac wheel, otherwise known as sister signs, there is a special bond that these two share together, and this is a duo who feel they can be their authentic selves around each other.
Cancer Rising & Capricorn Rising Compatibility
Opposites attract when it comes to this duo. Cancer Rising and Capricorn Rising form a relationship that works for both of them and one where both of their needs are being met. This is the type of relationship to build a life together and see each other not only in their present but in their future as well. There is a good balance of give and take in this connection, and with Capricorn ruling Cancer Rising's 7th house of love and vice versa, it’s somewhat of a perfect match for them. With this pairing, they often find what they have been looking for.
Cancer Rising sees things with a more emotional lens than Capricorn Rising does, but this energy is needed to help Capricorn Rising open up more to others and Cancer Rising find their ground in love and feel supported here.
Aries Rising & Libra Rising Compatibility
Aries Rising and Libra Rising are two coming together as one. You will always have stronger compatibility with the rising sign that is opposite of yours because that sign resides in your 7th house, the house of love, romance, and marriage. This is especially true when it comes to these two, as no matter how different they are, you will find this is a very common pairing in couples. Libra loves, and Aries inspires. There is plenty to talk about and plenty to do, and this is the type of relationship that rarely gets boring.
There is a type of dedication to the relationship that these two both bring, and they balance each other out in a way that allows them to live up to their highest potential.
Virgo Rising & Taurus Rising Compatibility
These earth-rising signs are both practical and loving. This is a relationship where they share common goals and interests and are willing to put in the effort to make things work. They are both more introverted than extroverted, but they will love experiencing life together in whatever way they see fit. Virgo Rising is flexible enough to take things in stride, and Taurus Rising adores that they can go at the pace that feels right for them, which is often slower than most in love. Neither are asking too much of each other, as what they can give is what the other is looking to receive.
This is the type of relationship that can grow both emotionally and financially together and who will physically be very into each other.
Aquarius Rising & Leo Rising Compatibility
Aquarius Rising and Leo Rising are the dynamic duo. These two might not hit it off right away, but once they get to know each other, they become enamored with each other’s presence. They are both bold and authentically themselves, and there is an instinctual connection they form through the fact they both show up completely as themselves. Their style and aesthetic are completely different, yet they are both the first people to be noticed in a room for their eclectic taste.
This is a fun relationship where they awaken each other to new perspectives and create a world of their own. Being both fixed signs, they are loyal to the ones they love, and once this relationship takes off, they will have each other's backs and be there for each other through it all.
