The Zodiac Signs & Astrological Compatibility of the Love Is Blind Season 8 Cast

Zodiac Signs for Love is Blind Season 8

Is love written in the stars, or is love discovered through blind dating in pods? While the ladder is still out, the former suggests that astrological compatibility is an excellent way to gauge a couple’s potential. The most common form of astrological compatibility is looking at the synastry between a couple’s sun signs. Sun signs rule over one’s core personality traits, ego, and vitality. Comparing the romantic potential between two sun signs can give a fairly accurate, if general, read on how overtly compatible two sun signs are.

Love is Blind season 8 hosts thirty-two singles—the largest pod squad yet. Despite the large pod squad, only six main couples get the most screen time as LIB hopefully follows these couples to the altar. LIB’s couples are composed of five earth signs, four fire signs, two water signs, and one air sign. Of these sun signs, the top most occurring sun sign is Taurus. Since Taurus reigns supreme, this may explain the lack of drama and combustibility. Not to mention that the plethora of earth signs will create a calm, steady energy in the pod squad. But fire signs aren’t far behind in numbers, so the fire signs might bring some excitability to the mix. 

What does it mean to have this mix of cosmic personalities? Let’s explore the cast’s sun signs to see what their cosmic personalities are like.

Aries: Monica & David a.k.a. Dave

Bring on the heat! Fiery Aries will surely ram through, which is undoubtedly evident with Dave’s strong first impression. Dave comes out swinging by asking, “What’s wrong with you?” when he meets potential connections. Although he can be a bit uncouth, Dave’s direct Aries energy is upfront about his lack of comprehension skills and disliking being told what to do. Meanwhile, fellow Aries Monica carries her willpower differently. Similarly, Monica is upfront in her reactions, feelings, and desires. However, Monica’s Aries sun leads with warmth, passion, and enthusiasm. Together, these two create a well-rounded picture of what Aries energy can be.

Taurus: Joey, Alex, & Daniel

Taurus takes the cake this season, with three cast members having a Taurus sun. Joey’s Taurus sun is the most playful of the three. As a self-proclaimed golden retriever, Joey comes across as good-natured, easygoing, and sensible. Meanwhile, his fellow Taurus, Alex, shares some of these traits, but exudes a much quieter disposition. Although Alex has had a tough row, his sweet Taurus energy shines on. Meanwhile, Daniel’s Taurus sun is the most fixated of the three as he zones in on one lucky lady. Although he’s allegedly never met nor seen her, Daniel’s loyal Taurus energy is undeniable. While Taurus can be a bit predictable, you can leave it to these three bulls to hold down the fort this season.

Leo: Madison

No other zodiac sign has main character energy quite like Leo does. Leo’s solar-ruled personality demands recognition. This fire sign is known to be expressive, creative, and dynamic. As an artist, Madison uses her creativity as an outlet. Sometimes Leo attracts more drama than passion. But Leo knows how to put a positive spin on everything, which may explain how Madison’s Leo sun is undeniably confident despite going through so much.

Libra: Ben

Is anyone more diplomatic than Libra? As a Libra sun, Ben strives to be likable in tough conversations. Instead of saying something potentially inflammatory, Ben takes a non-confrontational stance when questioned about his political views. Aside from being a peacemaker, Libra is also a cosmic mirror, which plays out with Ben’s ability to match his fiancé’s energy despite never meeting her. Hopefully, the romantic side of Ben’s Libra sun will eventually take over this pacifying, wishy-washy Libra persona.

Sagittarius: Lauren

Explorative Sagittarius knows no bounds. Just like her Sagittarius sun, Lauren isn’t afraid to try something new. Excitable and adventurous, Lauren took her LIB experience to the next level by putting it all out there. She’s honest, direct, and upfront about what she’s looking for in a committed relationship. Lauren’s spunky Sagittarius sun boldly embraces thoughtful discussions. Although appearing to be a nice Midwestern girl, this Sagittarius still has a little party girl in her.

Capricorn: Sara & Virginia

Saturn-ruled Capricorn doesn’t mess around. The earthy goat is incredibly responsible if there is a job to finish, or goals to meet. Sara’s Capricorn sun comes across as rigid when she asks her beau hard-hitting questions about his perspective on human rights and social movements. Meanwhile, Virginia’s Capricornian energy is more reserved, as she struggles to be vulnerable in the pods. Although both women appear stoic, their serious Capricorn suns still manage to bring down their guard to fall in love sight unseen. However, neither of these Capricorn women will likely neglect their high standards and desire for maturity as their connections proceed. 

Pisces: Devin & Taylor

As the sole water sign, the Pisces contestants swim alone this season. Both Devin and Taylor are emotionally tuned with themselves and their partners. Neither Pisces is afraid to shed a tear, or have a heartfelt confession. Devin’s Pisces’ energy extends to his personal battles with ibuprofen and his altruistic professional calling to coach basketball. Meanwhile, Taylor’s Pisces sun is remarkably intuitive, as her gut feelings lead to a confrontation that left everyone on the edge of their seat by the end of episode six. Although these Pisces are the only water sign, Devin and Taylor bring immense sensitivity to this pod squad.

Astrological Compatibility & Synastry

After watching the pod squad fall in love with each other, you might wonder which one of the couples will make it to the altar. You could wait for the season finale, or you can get a sneak peek at each couple’s potential based on their astrological compatibility. Which one of these cosmic couples will get to the altar according to astrology?

Joey & Monica

How can this work? Taurus and Aries are an odd match, since these zodiac signs create a semisextile. Semisextile is a minor aspect, which suggests that the zodiac signs don’t have anything in common despite being one after another in the zodiacal modality. Although this isn’t the strongest cosmic aspect, Taurus and Aries can still make it work. Loyal Taurus is unwavering and determined, which is what ambitious Aries look for in a partner. Vivacious Aries is spunky and passionate, which a stable Taurus desires in a connection. Together, Taurus and Aries can make their relationship work even if their zodiac signs aren’t compatible.

Although Joey and Monica aren’t traditionally astrologically compatible, they appear to have the strongest connection out of all couples. Monica’s spunky Aries energy drew Joey’s easygoing Taurus nature in. They appear to play off each other’s senses of humor, honesty, and confidence. Plus, a plodding Taurus like Joey wouldn’t pop the question unless he’s 110% sure of his decision. Given how Monica and Joey reacted to seeing each other for the first time, they have a strong chance of making it down the aisle. However, Joey will have to maintain his enthusiasm to keep up with a strong Aries, and Monica will have to find joy in being with a stable Taurus.

Ben & Sara

This unlikely pair can lead to a lasting relationship if Libra and Capricorn work together. Libra and Capricorn are technically incompatible, since these zodiac signs form a square. Squares can be frustrating, because the zodiac signs don’t have anything in common except their modality. Libra’s and Capricorn’s modality is cardinal, which implies that both zodiac signs are natural-born leaders. As an air sign, Libra leads with social influence, rationale, and charm. As an earth sign, Capricorn leads with stability, responsibility, and structure. While Libra and Capricorn have their work cut out for them, these two leaders’ differences have the potential to be complementary.

Although Sara and Ben appear to have chemistry, this Libra and Capricorn duo have some personal differences to overcome. Sara’s rigidity is apparent, especially regarding her stance on politics and human rights. While Ben quickly folded to Sara’s strong Capricorn energy, this may not last forever. Ben’s Libra sun will eventually want this to be a more reciprocal exchange instead of feeling like he has to follow Capricorn’s lead. Only time (and a few more episodes) will tell when Ben’s Libra facade cracks to reveal something deeper. Despite their significant differences, these two seem committed to making their connection work even if Sara barely cracked a smile as Ben sprinted to her for the first time. 

Dave & Lauren

Like attracts like when Aries and Sagittarius get together. These two fire signs create a trine, which is an easygoing aspect that implies harmony and likeness. Since Sagittarius and Aries share the same element, both signs are testy and lively. Cardinal Aries will want to take the lead in this connection. Mutable Sagittarius won’t mind if these two fire signs remain independent. While Aries and Sagittarius have an auspicious synastry, they need to keep their issues in check. Trine relationships can be notoriously lazy, so Aries and Sagittarius will need to make an effort to confront issues head-on instead of letting stuff fly by.

Honestly, only a Sagittarius could hold down the fort with this Aries man. Dave’s initial first impression would have scared off any other zodiac sign. But Lauren wasn’t easily deterred. Her explorative nature seemed to be intrigued by Dave’s upfront, unapologetic Aries energy. Likewise, Dave gravitated toward Lauren’s mutable, positive Sagittarius energy. Only two fire signs could have raw and real conversations they had in the pods. Their shared zest for life will hopefully help their relationship grow. Maybe Dave and Lauren will snorkel and attend a tequila tasting on the romantic getaway with the other engaged couples in the upcoming episodes. Or maybe their overly direct conversation style will get the best of them.

Daniel & Taylor

Is there any other couple sweeter than Taurus and Pisces? These two form a traditionally compatible aspect known as a sextile, which is a complementary aspect between zodiac signs that don’t share the same element and modality. Despite their differences, Taurus and Pisces still find ways to connect. Taurus’ fixed earth energy can hold down the fort, which is perfect for a mutable water sign like Pisces. These two zodiac signs also share a love for beauty. Taurus represents physical beauty and aesthetics whereas Pisces coincides with fantasy and illusion. Luckily, these two have what it takes to grow together. 

No other couple seemed as perfectly matched as Daniel and Taylor. From the jump, these two seemed like they were meant to be. Their instant connection is reminiscent of Lauren’s and Cameron’s onscreen romance from season 1. Both Daniel and Taylor strongly love Christmas, share the same family values, and empathize with each other’s personal issues. Taylor even comments that Daniel says everything she’s always wanted to hear. Despite being a match made in the pods, Taylor’s spidey senses suspected something was up. Is this relationship simply too good to be true, or did Daniel personally divinely orchestrate their happenstance meeting in the pods? Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be unlikely for a highly motivated, stubborn Taurus to ensure a relationship like this. Hopefully, these two can work it out in the upcoming episodes.

Devin & Virginia

These two may seem unlikely, but there’s good stuff here. Pisces and Capricorn are considered to be compatible, since they have a sextile. Although Pisces and Capricorn have different modalities and elements, they are still complementary. Capricorn’s cardinal earth energy isn’t afraid to take charge in a romantic connection. The goat can impose structure, responsibility, and maturity. Meanwhile, Pisces’ mutable water energy is happy to go with the flow. The fish can bring in a feeling of wonder, mysticism, and empathy. Together, Pisces and Capricorn have the potential to be a quiet power couple.

Although these two didn’t have as much screen time as others, Devin and Virginia still showed us what love can truly be. Virginia’s austere Capricorn sun was no match for Devin’s watery energy. His ability to encourage her to be vulnerable was truly touching. It’s not every day that a Capricorn breaks down, especially to someone she’s never met. Meanwhile, her hardworking earth energy suits Devin’s ambition and perseverance. Together, these two seem to be committed to creating a strong foundation together. Hopefully, this Capricorn and Pisces will make it to the altar.

Alex & Madison

If anyone has a fifty-fifty chance, it’s Taurus and Leo. Technically, they’re incompatible due to having a square. Squares imply tension, since the zodiac signs share a modality, but nothing else. These two signs fall under the fixed modality, which means that Taurus and Leo are stabilizers. Both signs can be dependent, persevering, and loyal. They can also be stubborn, slow to act, and fixated. However, Taurus’s earthy energy can encourage Leo to be more conscientious. Meanwhile, Leo’s fiery energy can impassion Taurus. Although Taurus and Leo don’t have easy synastry, their shared determination can strengthen their relationship.

Like their astrological synastry, Alex and Madison don’t have an easy relationship per se. These two hit it off by trauma bonding over personal childhood issues and other grievances. Although Madison was entertaining another Taurus, she seemed dead-set on Alex. Meanwhile, Alex seemingly ruled out other options as his Taurus sun fixated on Madison. It seemed like these two were going to make it after Madison shared her coveted bearlien. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get there when Madison broke down when Alex tried to address her other pod relationship. It might be for the best that these two split if this emotional Leo isn’t understood by her incredibly grounded Taurus counterpart.
