Living with someone is inherently complicated. There are already hurdles to jump through with family members and romantic partners, and it can get even more complex when they’re your friends or perfect strangers. Besides vetting for the obvious red flags, there is another method for guaranteeing harmony in the household. Astrology can give insight on a person’s potential demeanor and how well you’ll cohabitate. Being intentional about the sign you’re living with can make a world of difference in your household. Here are the best astrology roommate pairings for a drama-free living situation.

Astrology Signs As Roommates

While astrology isn’t the sole factor in determining a great roommate, certain signs tend to mesh better with others based on their typical temperaments. Here are a few astrological roommate pairings that generally work well together.

Taurus and Cancer

Both Taurus and Cancer are signs that share a love for stability, routine and feeling grounded. They’ll respect each other’s need for quiet time and orderliness, making them great at managing household chores. Plus, they both enjoy the comforts of home and will create a cozy, well-maintained living space together.

Gemini and Libra

These two air signs thrive on intellectual stimulation and conversation. Gemini is adaptable and loves variety, while Libra is social and loves exploring new ideas. They’ll respect each other’s need for independence while sharing interesting conversations and hosting fun group dinners. A more relaxed, free-flowing living environment suits them both well.

Cancer and Pisces

Water signs tend to have a deep emotional understanding of each other, and Cancer and Pisces are no exception. They are empathetic, nurturing, and intuitive, which makes them ideal for creating a cozy, emotionally supportive home. They will likely share a deep emotional bond and take care of each other, making for a peaceful and harmonious living situation.

Aries and Sagittarius

Both fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius are youthfully spirited and share a love for adventure and living life to the fullest. They’ll enjoy going out together, hosting parties with friends, and sharing their big dreams.

Leo and Virgo

They’ll both appreciate a house full of creativity, conversation and social activity.

Capricorn and Aquarius

Both Capricorn and Aquarius are signs share a practical, Saturn-esque approach to life. Aquarius may push Capricorn to live a bit outside the lines as Capricorn teaches them that starting their day at 4AM is actually worth it. However, they both value stability, responsibility, and earning a life they love. They’ll respect each other’s goals, making them great roommates when it comes to creating a stable and grounding home environment.

Scorpio and Virgo
