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.

Exclusive: Gabrielle Union On Radical Transparency, Being Diagnosed With Perimenopause And Embracing What’s Next
Whenever Gabrielle Union graces the movie screen, she immediately commands attention. From her unforgettable scenes in films like Bring It On and Two Can Play That Game to her most recent film, in which she stars and produces Netflix’s The Perfect Find, there’s no denying that she is that girl.
Off-screen, she uses that power for good by sharing her trials and tribulations with other women in hopes of helping those who may be going through the same things or preventing them from experiencing them altogether. Recently, the Flawless by Gabrielle Union founder partnered with Clearblue to speak at the launch of their Menopause Stage Indicator, where she also shared her experience with being perimenopausal.
In a xoNecoleexclusive, the iconic actress opens up about embracing this season of her life, new projects, and overall being a “bad motherfucker.” Gabrielle reveals that she was 37 years old when she was diagnosed with perimenopause and is still going through it at 51 years old. Mayo Clinic says perimenopause “refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years.”
“I haven't crossed over the next phase just yet, but I think part of it is when you hear any form of menopause, you automatically think of your mother or grandmother. It feels like an old-person thing, but for me, I was 37 and like not understanding what that really meant for me. And I don't think we focus so much on the word menopause without understanding that perimenopause is just the time before menopause,” she tells us.

"But you can experience a lot of the same things during that period that people talk about, that they experienced during menopause. So you could get a hot flash, you could get the weight gain, the hair loss, depression, anxiety, like all of it, mental health challenges, all of that can come, you know, at any stage of the menopausal journey and like for me, I've been in perimenopause like 13, 14 years. When you know, most doctors are like, ‘Oh, but it's usually about ten years, and I'm like, ‘Uhh, I’m still going (laughs).’”
Conversations about perimenopause, fibroids, and all the things that are associated with women’s bodies have often been considered taboo and thus not discussed publicly. However, times are changing, and thanks to the Gabrielle’s and the Tia Mowry’s, more women are having an authentic discourse about women’s health. These open discussions lead to the creation of more safe spaces and support for one another.
“I want to be in community with folks. I don't ever want to feel like I'm on an island about anything. So, if I can help create community where we are lacking, I want to be a part of that,” she says. “So, it's like there's no harm in talking about it. You know what I mean? Like, I was a bad motherfucker before perimenopause. I’m a bad motherfucker now, and I'll be a bad motherfucker after menopause. Know what I’m saying? None of that has to change. How I’m a bad motherfucker, I welcome that part of the change. I'm just getting better and stronger and more intelligent, more wise, more patient, more compassionate, more empathetic. All of that is very, very welcomed, and none of it should be scary.”
The Being Mary Jane star hasn’t been shy about her stance on therapy. If you don’t know, here’s a hint: she’s all for it, and she encourages others to try it as well. She likens therapy to dating by suggesting that you keep looking for the right therapist to match your needs. Two other essential keys to her growth are radical transparency and radical acceptance (though she admits she is still working on the latter).

“I hope that a.) you recognize that you're not alone. Seek out help and know that it's okay to be honest about what the hell is happening in your life. That's the only way that you know you can get help, and that's also the only other way that people know that you are in need if there's something going on,” she says, “because we have all these big, very wild, high expectations of people, but if they don't know what they're actually dealing with, they're always going to be failing, and you will always be disappointed. So how about just tell the truth, be transparent, and let people know where you are. So they can be of service, they can be compassionate.”
Gabrielle’s transparency is what makes her so relatable, and has so many people root for her. Whether through her TV and film projects, her memoirs, or her social media, the actress has a knack for making you feel like she’s your homegirl. Scrolling through her Instagram, you see the special moments with her family, exciting new business ventures, and jaw-dropping fashion moments. Throughout her life and career, we’ve seen her evolve in a multitude of ways. From producing films to starting a haircare line to marriage and motherhood, her journey is a story of courage and triumph. And right now, in this season, she’s asking, “What’s next?”
“This is a season of discovery and change. In a billion ways,” says the NAACP Image Award winner. “The notion of like, ‘Oh, so and so changed. They got brand new.’ I want you to be brand new. I want me to be brand new. I want us to be always constantly growing, evolving. Having more clarity, moving with different purpose, like, and all of that is for me very, very welcomed."
"I want you to be brand new. I want me to be brand new. I want us to be always constantly growing, evolving. Having more clarity, moving with different purpose, like, and all of that is for me very, very welcomed."
She continues, “So I'm just trying to figure out what's next. You know what I mean? I'm jumping into what's next. I'm excited going into what's next and new. I'm just sort of embracing all of what life has to offer.”
Look out for Gabrielle in the upcoming indie film Riff Raff, which is a crime comedy starring her and Jennifer Coolidge, and she will also produce The Idea of You, which stars Anne Hathaway.

Jordyn Woods Shares The Key To Her Long-Lasting Relationship With Karl-Anthony Towns
Jordyn Woods is pulling back the layers to her relationship with NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns.
The 26-year-old model and socialite shared with PEOPLE at the Femme It Forward's 2nd Annual Give Her FlowHERS Gala that she believes the key to a lasting relationship is establishing a strong connection before entering into a romantic relationship.
During the event, the socialite spoke to the outlet about the importance of “friendship and trust” in her three-year relationship that started in the midst of the pandemic.
“We were really good friends before we started dating, and COVID gave us that free time in our life to really get to know each other,” Jordyn said. “Because a lot of people don't really get to know each other and they go into this relationship.”
She continues, “So, we've been through a lot together. We've seen each other at all different ways, times, phases, so I think we have a very strong foundation.”
Jordyn also notes that “quality time” has been a means to bond and keep their relationship thriving. Despite the NBA star’s demanding schedule, she expressed her desire to attend as many of KAT's games as possible, including his upcoming birthday game with the Minnesota Timberwolves. “It's his birthday in a few days, so I'm going to go to that game,” she says.
Quality time isn’t the only love language that the couple speaks.“We love gift giving and... What is it? The love language? The love language is quality time. We love everything,” she says.
The couple was introduced by mutual friends many years ago, and in May 2020 decided to move forward from a close friendship to a romantic relationship. Jordyn and KAT went public with their relationship in September of that same year and have since become young Hollywood’s discreet “IT” couple.
“I'm excited. Every holiday, we like to really go large for each other,” she explained. “He does so much for me. I do what I can for him. I want to say it's a lot. So when it's time to show that appreciation, we like to go all out.”
