“Certain signs always find each other in the universe,” astrologer Lisa Stardust tells Refinery29. “This allows them to become good friends or best frenemies.” Stardust acknowledges that astrological compatibility isn’t 100% accurate all the time — two signs that match on paper may not match well IRL. But there are signs who often align with one another to make the perfect friendship duo. Isn’t it kind of cool that the very best friendships could be written in the stars?
Here, Stardust tells us each sign’s likely BFF.
Aries
The air sign Gemini is the best match for this fire sign. Aries and Gemini both have the gift of gab. “This friendship is based on the need they both have to gossip and communicate with each other,” Stardust says. “They’ll have the same sentiments on matters too.”

Taurus
Big-hearted and reliable Tauruses will vibe the best with a supportive Virgo. “This pair likes to laugh and enjoy each other’s company,” Stardust says. “They both like to have fun and cut loose, which can bring them closer.”Photographed by Megan Madden.
Gemini
Playful Twins love Virgos (in addition to Tauruses). “This Mercurial pair can think and talk their way through any situation,” Stardust says. “They’ll also appreciate the others sense of humor.” This pair brings true meaning to the term best friends forever.Photographed by Megan Madden.
Cancer
Scorpios find it easy to become tight with Cancers. The dynamic duo are both here to have fun, and they’ll feed off of one another’s feel-good energy.
“They love a good party, which will serve as a way for them both to bond with the other on a deep and meaningful level,” Stardust says. While the Cancer and Scorpio duo are always down to have a good time, it’s not always a party; they connect in meaningful ways too.Photographed by Megan Madden.
Leo
Lions are best-understood by those who were born under the adventurous and passionate Sagittarius sun. “Their connection stems from an artistic and creative understanding of each other,” Stardust says. “They value the others opinions and tenacity.”
Together, these two signs love to be imaginative, which ultimately leads to an unbreakable bond.

Virgo
Enigmatic Scorpios are an ultimate BFF match for the sign of the Maiden. “They like to get to the bottom of all matters together, and will have long daily conversations about the truths that they’ve uncovered together,” Stardust says. Intense, and totally fulfilling.

Libra
For the harmonious Libra, an eccentric and intellectual Aquarius is the perfect fit for a friendship.

Scorpio
As you may have noticed, this mysterious sign gets along well with several types of people — but they definitely need an intuitive Pisces by their side.
“Scorpio and Pisces are both extremely magical and instinctual, which will serve as the glue that holds them together,” Stardust explains. “Also, they respect the others emotions and boundaries.” That’s a must in a healthy friendship.

Sagittarius
Aries is a solid BFF match for a Sag. “They’ll have lots of laughs and inspire each other,” Stardust says, before acknowledging that the fire signs can butt heads. “If they have mutual respect — and if they avoid arguing over who’s the best — this dynamic duo can last,” the astrology says.

Capricorn
Trust us with this one. Capricorn’s star sign BFF is an adventurous Gemini. If that sounds strange (Caps are known for being ultra-practical), hear us out.
“An unlikely pair for sure, but they share the same hard-working approach to life and like to enjoy the fruits of their labors together,” Stardust says. Together, these two can conquer the world.

Aquarius
Another unlikely pair that are destined to be besties? Independent Aquarius and loving Leo. “Opposites attract here,” Stardust explains. “They get a kick out of each other’s sensibilities and sentiments. Plus they will offer the other a loyal shoulder to cry on.”

Pisces
The perfect match for intuitive Pisces? An emotional Cancer, of course.
“When these two unite, there’s nothing they can’t achieve,” Stardust says. The two signs will love traveling and exploring together. “Also, they have similar tastes in food and booze,” the astrologer adds, “which will make their globe trotting more fun.”
