It is said that Cancer is Scorpio in an apron! Seek out: The water signs blend brilliantly as they are all fluent in the language of emotion. As already mentioned, Taurus and the earth signs match well with Cancer due to their love of togetherness and dislike of change. Though all earth and water signs soothe and are soothed by Cancerian nurturance. Potential challenge: Sagittarius loves freedom and to ‘tell it like it is’, often wounding the sensitive crab who will 
either retreat into their shell or defensively attack their mate. Surprise match: Cancer and Leo get on well because of a mutual love of children and and their buzzy creative streak. Leo loves the limelight while Cancer can be shy, but this just means they are not competing for the spotlight and can support one another.
Seek out: Leos are somewhat of an anomaly and in a relationship they can work well together, like a pride of lions strutting their stuff together. The other fire and air signs blend well with Leo as they allow these extroverts to explore life with abandon. Potential challenge: Any sign who challenges the leadership of Leo poses a threat, which is a definite possibility from fellow fire sign Sagittarius or the cutting truth of Aquarius. Surprise match: Scorpio is an alternative love match that can work as the natural sex appeal of the Scorpion draws the attention of the glamour-loving Leo. Loyalty is essential for this pair who are both prone to jealousy and possessiveness. Not necessarily an easy match, but a truly passionate pairing.
VIRGO
Virgo loves feeling helpful, organising and being healthy. Seek out: Anyone who dreams of a simple life could envy the beautiful way earth signs match. The earth signs go to work, create lovely homes and plan luxurious holidays. Predictability is the dream of the Virgo in love who feels at ease when they know the plan. Potential challenge: Humility is a core character trait of Virgo, alongside critical and cautious characteristics, so the self-confidence of Aries can be baffling and they may not see eye to eye in their approach. Surprise match: The Gemini-Virgo compatibility is worth repeating as the mutual understanding between these two signs is fantastic. Gemini may change the plan a bit too much for Virgo, but they will at least communicate their changes.
LIBRA
Libra in love is looking for someone to enjoy life with; someone who appreciates harmony, beauty and aesthetically pleasing interiors. Seek out: The air signs are perfect for Libra as they love the art of conversation and secretly love the heated debates that the fire signs engage them in. Potential challenge: Fellow air sign Aquarius is famously direct and far more concerned with ideas and innovation than appearances, meaning Libra will have to let go of any desire to portray an image of a perfectly united couple as Aquarius exposes his autonomy. Surprise match: While Pisces is not famous for their love of talking, they are sensitive, refined and delicate. Ever-accommodating Libra and dream-weaving Pisces like things to appear idealistically beautiful, with Libra enjoying the artistic, mystical nature of their Pisces pals.
SCORPIO
Scorpio in love is looking for loyalty and control. Even emotional Pisces can be too flighty for this intense water sign, that is often referred to as “fiery water.†Seek out: Earth signs are wonderful for Scorpio as they are reliable and straightforward enough for them to trust. Taurus energy in particular as their absolute loyalty and disdain for change is ideal for the Scorpion. Potential challenge: Gemini loves change, is something of a trickster and cannot be relied upon; this is anathema to the Scorpion who needs to be able to trust and rely upon their partner. Surprise match: They also do well with fixed signs Leo and Aquarius as security is everything.
