4 Zodiac Duos Who Seem Impossible On Paper But Are Destined For Each Other

SCORPIO & CANCER

Cancer isn’t seduced by Scorpio’s mystery, intrigue, or mind games, opting for a more mature, straightforward style of communication. Scorpio meanwhile, sees Cancer’s bluntness as a lack of finesse, an inability to keep up and create a playful flirtation together, like an improv sketch that requires participation from all parties. But after enough exposure to each other, Cancer sees that Scorpio may be the only sign that can pull them out of their own seriousness, and Scorpio realizes that Cancer may be the only sign who is healthy and stable enough to offer them the kind of long term relationship they’ve been looking for in all the wrong places. It’s going to take these two a full three acts to arrive at the kiss at the end of this rom-com, but anyone with a pulse will be able to pick up on the chemistry from their first encounter. 

VIRGO & PISCES

Pisces does not have the kind of tough skin necessary to handle the sting of Virgo’s verbal quips, nor the focus or obsession required to scrub grout with a toothbrush on a weekly basis. And Virgo hides behind the armor of their self-sufficiency with such persistence, that they can’t readily access the kind of vulnerability and soulfulness that Pisces is looking for in a conversational partner, let alone a romantic one. These two are polar opposites on paper who bond over the commonality of their shared zoo like polar bears and penguins. They meet as neighbors, coworkers, friends of friends, or any other surface level acquaintance, and then can’t help continuing to be drawn together. Once each learns to bend compromise and long-term stability follow, and everyone quickly forgets how novel a pairing this originally was, like pistachio ice cream or pineapple on a pizza. 

AQUARIUS & TAURUS

Aquarius is fundraising and going door to door for their local neighborhood causes, while Taurus is getting ready to buy themselves a Cartier watch and celebrate with champagne. Fiscal liberalism and conservatism aside, Aquarius is quick to put other’s needs before their own, while Taurus makes sure everything is taken care of at home before it is abroad. In a relationship, these are really wide bridges to gap, but once that connection is made, each party teaches the other a valuable lesson. What may have seemed selfish on Tauruses part evolves to protect Aquarius in a way that no one ever has. And Aquarius shows Taurus how to spoil people who aren’t in the comfort of their immediate circle. The result is a pair that is madly in love, knows how to spoil each other on a romantic date, but always leaves a good tip.

LEO & CAPRICORN

All work and no play makes Capricorn a dull catch for Leo, and Leo’s preference for a party over the boardroom leaves Capricorn less than unimpressed. The conflict in each other’s value systems is more than apparent, but not unable to be overcome. Capricorn empowers Leo to be their own cheerleader instead of a queen bee, and Leo shows Capricorn the power of being part of a team instead of keeping their nose to the grindstone in constant competition. Together they become the perfect balance of softness and strength, confidence and humility. Together they accomplish tenfold what either could on their own, and their home is always open to friends, family, and mentees alike. They become the couple that people go to for guidance, or aspire to be. They are constantly evolving, always growing, and more than anything enjoy watching the other live up to their fullest potential.
