Moon Sign Compatibility: The Best Indicator of a Long & Successful Marriage

The best indicator of a potentially successful marriage or long-term romantic relationship is compatibility between moon signs.

How do you find a relationship that is comfortable and easy - where you and your mate have a natural, mutual understanding of each other? One where you know how to nurture each other. You know when to give each other space and you understand each other's deepest needs.


Because your moon sign represents the most inner, fundamental part of you, finding a person whose moon sign is compatible with yours is truly the magical key to a solid, long-lasting relationship.

Relationships between people with compatible moon signs are long-lasting. There is a deep comfort level between you because your basic needs, coping mechanisms, and emotional reactions are amazingly similar.

Understanding another person at the deepest level is easy when there is compatibility between your moon sign and theirs. Specifically, when moon signs are
in the same element.

Earth Moon Signs Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn will get along well with other earth moons

Water Moon Signs Cancer, Scorpio & Pisces will get along well with other water moons

Air Moon Signs Gemini, Libra Aquarius will get along well with other air moons 

Fire Moon Signs Aries, Leo Sagittarius will get along well with other fire moons

Marriages between people whose moon signs are in the same astrological element are easy and likely to be long-lasting.

Every relationship can be difficult, but when you don't understand the motivation behind the way your mate is behaving or behind their words, it can be infuriating. With an understanding of why your partner says or does certain things, you have more patience and it's easier to wait for the difficult times to pass.

When you both have your moons in the same element, you each have a deep and natural understanding of the reasons behind the other's actions because these reasons are driven by the moon. When your moons are in the same element, the reasons for your actions and words are essentially the same.

Conversely, when your moons are in different elements, you are often confused and befuddled by each other. You are more likely to think your mate is doing things just to annoy you because you cannot understand any other reason for their behavior. An air moon needs independence and emotional distance. 

When paired with a water moon, they will likely be misunderstood by the water moon as being purposely offish to make a point. The water sign will see the air sign's need for space as insulting. An earth moon needs to be realistic and practical. When paired with a fire moon, they are likely to be seen as a boring drag who wants to sabotage their fun.

Compatibility between moon signs goes much further in assuring a happy, long-term relationship than compatibility between any other astrological signs. Although sun-sign compatibility is great, it is really better for long-lasting friendships than intimate, romantic relationships. 

Rising-sign compatibility is also fantastic and helps with day-to-day living, common interests and outlooks, but when it comes to intimacy, moon-sign compatibility goes much further in assuring mutual respect and understanding. The moon represents your deepest needs and emotions. 

It shows how you nurture others and how you need to be nurtured. So, with intimate relationships, moon-sign compatibility is the key longevity.
