One of the most popular reasons for someone to check their horoscope is to discover their best love match -- their soul mate. Everyone at one time or another is curious to see what the stars say about the person who might complement them above all others. Some sun signs seem to be made for one another, while others would be best simply as friends.

Each person is born with the planets aligned in a particular way to make them unique from all others, and finding a companion who shares those same qualities can be intimidating. Some of the best matches found in the zodiac are those that balance each other. Those within the same element group share common traits that make for great business partnerships, friendships and marriages.

There are four elements in the zodiac: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. The signs that fall within those elements are as follows:

Fire Signs: Aries, Sagittarius and Leo. They are energetic and active, passionate, outgoing, and impulsive.
Earth Signs: Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo. They are practical, patient, stable and industrious.
Air Signs: Gemini, Aquarius and Libra. They are expressive, intelligent, rational and broad-minded.
Water Signs: Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio. They are intuitive and emotional, empathetic, creative, and imaginative.
