The Best Business Partners Of The Zodiac, According To Astrology
Business is not just about who you are, it’s about who you know. You should be considering all factors when entering the business field, and look to your strengths and relationship compatibility in your birth chart for further clarification. When it comes to working together with others and finding your perfect business partner, Astrology can give you intel as to who you work the best with and what strengths you and others bring to the table to create the ultimate success.
Different factors in the birth chart highlight compatibility not only for love but for business ventures as well. Some signs are ruled by the same planet which makes working together more compatible for them, such as Pisces and Sagittarius who are both ruled by lucky Jupiter. Other signs have a talent for the mind and for intuitively knowing what others need such as Aquarius and Virgo, which makes working together a powerful combo for the world. Fixed signs such as Cancer and Libra, share the same modality which makes them both have a similar way of initiating projects and having the will to make things happen, making them some of the most wealthiest signs in the world.
When it comes to Astrology, there are many ways to look into your strengths, weaknesses, and prospects in business, and by looking at your Sun Sign, Moon Sign, and the signs in your 2nd, 8th, 10th, and 11th houses you can determine who you are most compatible with in business. We’ve created a breakdown of some of the best business partners in Astrology, and which sign you should consider working with in your new ventures.
ARIES + GEMINI
These two together create a feisty and dynamic combo in business and work well together in many areas of life, including the working environment. Aries and Gemini get each other in a way that other signs don’t, and they both sincerely value each other's opinions and perspectives. These two have a business mindset and can foresee future trends while also creating them, and they are both people you want on your team in the workplace. Gemini rules the 3rd house of business and communication, and Aries rules the 1st house of self. Together, these two know how to bounce ideas off each other and then create an execution plan to make it happen.
TAURUS + SCORPIO
Taurus and Scorpio know all about calculated investments, and creating something of value in their life. They are both rulers of the financial houses in the zodiac, which makes their ability to accumulate wealth together a strong one. Taurus is the ruler of the 2nd house of values, assets, and income; and Scorpio is the ruler of the 8th house of shared finances, inheritances, and commitment. In business, these two work together well because they both know the importance of give and take, and they create a good balance here together. They are both looking for long-term success rather than something immediate and fleeting, and they build a business or partnership that is sustainable for the time to come.
LEO + CAPRICORN
Leo and Capricorn are all about self-empowerment and this is something of a royal and regal business partnership. These two tend to have a good reputation and are some of the most successful of the zodiac. Capricorn and Leo love to accomplish their personal goals and make something of themselves. What makes these two great business partners is that they both share a common goal which is wanting the best of the best in life. They strive for this pinnacle of success and they are very aware of how they present themselves to the world, thinking a lot about what they are known for or what they want to establish for themselves.
LIBRA + CANCER
These two cardinal signs work well in the business field together. They are both initiators when it comes to reaching their goals, and they have inspiring perspectives and attitudes to match. Libra is a great communicator that can network their way into any event or space they want to be in. Cancer is the great nurturer and then builds and secures these relationships that Libra has made. Not to mention, three signs tend to accumulate the most wealth in the world, and Libra and Cancer are in that top three. Cardinal signs are the leaders, the trailblazers, and the trendsetters of the zodiac and these two know how to create a strong support system around them needed to accomplish their goals.
AQUARIUS + VIRGO
Aquarius and Virgo are some of the most- if not the most- intelligent signs of the zodiac. They are known for their wits, their attention to detail, and their business-savvy mindset. Aquarius and Virgo both rule over houses in Astrology that have to do with work, routine, humanity, and colleagues. Virgo is the ruler of the 6th house of work and service, and Aquarius rules the 11th house of networking and technology. When these two come together in business, they have the vision, clear mind, and work ethic to take their successes far. They both want to help the world in some way and in partnership, they truly have the power to change the world for the better.
PISCES + SAGITTARIUS
These two know how to have fun in life and business. They strive for a business environment that is not only trusting of each other, but that gives the proper amount of freedom needed to where they don’t feel creatively restricted in any way. These two work well together because they are both ruled by lucky Jupiter, and create luck wherever they go. Sagittarius thinks broadly and considers all options, which serves them well when it comes to business because they don’t miss anything. Pisces has the creativity and patience to diligently manifest its dreams. These two make good business partners because they both have the same ultimate vision of success which is freedom and happiness.

Smile, Sis! These Five Improvements Can Upgrade Your Oral Hygiene Instantly
This article is in partnership with Sensodyne.
Our teeth are connected to so many things - our nutrition, our confidence, and our overall mood. We often take for granted how important healthy teeth are, until issues like tooth sensitivity or gum recession come to remind us. Like most things related to our bodies, prevention is the best medicine. Here are five things you can do immediately to improve your oral hygiene, prevent tooth sensitivity, and avoid dental issues down the road.
1) Go Easy On the Rough Brushing: Brushing your teeth is and always will be priority number one in the oral hygiene department. No surprises there! However, there is such a thing as applying too much pressure when brushing…and that can lead to problems over time. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and brush in smooth, circular motions. It may seem counterintuitive, but a gentle approach to brushing is the most effective way to clean those pearly whites without wearing away enamel and exposing sensitive areas of the teeth.
2) Use A Desensitizing Toothpaste: As everyone knows, mouth pain can be highly uncomfortable; but tooth sensitivity is a whole different beast. Hot weather favorites like ice cream and popsicles have the ability to trigger tooth sensitivity, which might make you want to stay away from icy foods altogether. But as always, prevention is the best medicine here. Switching to a toothpaste like Sensodyne’s Sensitivity & Gum toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth will help build a protective layer over sensitive areas of the tooth. Over time, those sharp sensations that occur with extremely cold foods will subside, and you’ll be back to treating yourself to your icy faves like this one!
3) Floss, Rinse, Brush. (And In That Order!): Have you ever heard the saying, “It’s not what you do, but how you do it”? Well, the same thing applies to taking care of your teeth. Even if you are flossing and brushing religiously, you could be missing out on some of the benefits simply because you aren’t doing so in the right order. Flossing is best to do before brushing because it removes food particles and plaque from places your toothbrush can’t reach. After a proper flossing sesh, it is important to rinse out your mouth with water after. Finally, you can whip out your toothbrush and get to brushing. Though many of us commonly rinse with water after brushing to remove excess toothpaste, it may not be the best thing for our teeth. That’s because fluoride, the active ingredient in toothpaste that protects your enamel, works best when it gets to sit on the teeth and continue working its magic. Rinsing with water after brushing doesn’t let the toothpaste go to work like it really can. Changing up your order may take some getting used to, but over time, you’ll see the difference.
4) Stay Hydrated: Upping your water supply is a no-fail way to level up your health overall, and your teeth are no exception to this rule. Drinking water not only helps maintain a healthy pH balance in your mouth, but it also washes away residue and acids that can cause enamel erosion. It also helps you steer clear of dry mouth, which is a gateway to bad breath. And who needs that?
5) Show Your Gums Some Love: When it comes to improving your smile, you may be laser-focused on getting your teeth whiter, straighter, and overall healthier. Rightfully so, as these are all attributes of a megawatt smile; but you certainly don’t want to leave gum health out of the equation. If you neglect your gums, you’ll start to notice the effects of plaque buildup, which can irritate the gums and cause gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. Seeing blood while brushing and flossing is a tell-tale sign that your gums are suffering. You may also experience gum recession — a condition where the gum tissue surrounding your teeth pulls back, exposing more of your tooth. Brushing at least twice a day with a gum-protecting toothpaste like Sensodyne Sensitivity and Gum, coupled with regular dentist visits, will keep your gums shining as bright as those pearly whites.
Why Do Millennials & Gen-Zers Still Feel Like Teenagers? The Pandemic Might Be The Reason.
There’s nothing quite as humbling as navigating adulthood with no instruction manual. Since the turn of the decade, it seems like everything in our society that could go wrong has, inevitably, gone wrong. From the global pandemic, our crippling student debt problem, the loneliness crisis, layoffs, global warming, recession, and not to mention figuring out what to eat for dinner every night. This constant state of uncertainty has many of us wondering, when are the grown-ups coming to fix all of this?
But the catch is, we are the new grown-ups.
As if it happened without our permission, we became the new adults. We are the members of society who are paying taxes, having children, getting married, and keeping our communities afloat, one iced latte at a time. Still, there’s something about doing all these grown-up duties that feel unnaturally grown-up. Enter the #teenagegirlinher20s.
If there’s one hashtag to give you the state of the next cohort of adults, it’s this one. Of the videos that have garnered over 3.9M views, you’ll find a collection of users who are overwhelmed by life’s pressing existential responsibilities, clung to nostalgia, and reminiscent of the days when their mom and dad took care of their insurance plans.

The concept of being a 20-something or 30-something teenager is linked to the sentiment of not feeling “grown up enough” to do grown-up things while feeling underprepared and even nihilistic about whether that preparation even matters.
It’s our generation’s version of when we ask our grandmothers how old they are and they simply reply with, “I still feel 45,” all while being every bit of 76 years old. In this, we share a warped concept of time while clinging to a desire for infantilization.
Granted, the pandemic did a number on our concept of time. Many of us who started the pandemic in our early or mid-20s missed out on three fundamental years of socialization, career development, and personal milestones that traditionally help to mark our growth.
Our time to figure out and plan our next steps through fumbling yet active participation was put on pause indefinitely and then resumed provisionally. This in turn has left many of us hanging in the balance of uncertainty as we try to make sense of the disconnect between our minds and bodies in this missing gap of time.
Because we’re all still figuring out what the ramifications of being locked away and frozen in time by a global pandemic will have on us as a society, there really is no “right” way of making up for lost time. Feeling unprepared for any new chapter of life is a natural rite of passage, pandemic or not. However, it’s important to not stay stuck in the last age or period of life that made sense to us because self-growth is the truest evidence of personal progress.
So whether you’re leaning on your inner child, teenager, or 20-something for guidance as you fill the gap between your real age and pandemic age, know that it’s okay to grieve the person you thought you would be and the milestones you thought you’d hit before you ever knew what a pandemic was. If there’s anything that the pandemic taught us, it’s that we have the power to reimagine a better world and life for ourselves. And if we tap into our inner teenager as a compass, we can piece together our next chapter with a fresh outlook.
Sure, we’ve lost a couple of years, but there are still some really amazing ones ahead.
