Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Each of the star signs belongs to one house of the elements, and this determines many of their traits and qualities.
Whether you are an earthy Taurus or a fiery Aries, what does your star sign indicate about you as a prospective partner? How well matched are you with your current partner, and if you’re single right now, could the stars lead you toward the right match?
There are no guarantees, but whether you are a believer or a skeptic of love horoscopes, considering your own sign’s qualities, values and personality traits and those of your partner (current or prospective) can deepen your ability to connect, be understanding and find common ground to bond over.

Aries people are typically energetic, driven and intelligent. The downside to these traits, is that Aries can be perfectionists, impatient and intolerant of failure (their own and others). The element associated with Aries is fire, so they are intense, magnetic even, but also prone to pushing too far, opting for spontaneity at the cost of stability. Their interest and attention can even wane quickly if they’re not being entertained or satisfied.
Aries are assertive, frank and candid. They are best suited to partners who are unafraid of these qualities and equally confident in themselves, or just very tolerant and not easily shaken. Aries are wary of limits, restrictions and rules, so relationships in which one partner has dominance or tries to lay down the law will likely fizzle out quickly.
