They're perfect for each other, like peanut butter and jelly.

There are soulmates for lovers and there are also best friends who are soulmates.
When their horoscopes match up, it's the most beautiful thing in astrology.
I love dynamic duos. I think having a friend who is simultaneously your twin flame, soulmate and also someone who makes you a better person is a person who should not be taken advantage of.
Whenever I think about dynamic duos and how totally awesome they are, I always think about Thelma and Louise, Bonnie and Clyde, or Batman and Robin.
They (obviously) aren't always the good guys, but you really can't have one without the other.
I mean, you can, but are they really as cool and memorable if they're alone? No, they are not. Just like these zodiac sign BFF pairs.
You might have a lot of friends or just a few, but whenever you're with your best friend, the dynamic duo you two make is so much better than being on your own.
Don't get me wrong, you might be awesome on your own, but being one half of a dynamic duo is always better. ALWAYS.
Sure, you can talk to her about anything and you always know that he's going to be there for you, but in the end, what matters most is how spending time with them makes you feel about yourself.
You never want to be in a friendship where all it feels like is you trying to do nice things for the other person without them ever trying to return the favor.
Friendships, much like relationships, are about give and take.
Yes, you might have to compromise every so often, but you're also learning how to build each other up and make each other feel like the best possible version of yourself.
If your best friend wasn't someone who made you feel like a million bucks every time you were together, then are they really your best friend?
What makes best friends different from dynamic duos isn't just that whenever you're together, it's like no one else is as cool and amazing as the two of you (that's a given); it's that you two are like the premium version of best friends.
You might have to put in more work and it might take a few petty fights to realize that, even when things get bad, there's no one like this person in the world, but dynamic duos are ride-or-die friends that will always be there for you through thick and thin.
And based on your horoscope, every zodiac sign as a perfectly paired best friend that, when the two of them are together, become a dynamic duo of astrology.
Your zodiac sign might have other best friends, but nothing tops this one sign that's like the Hall to your Oates, the macaroni to your cheese, or some other duo that wouldn't be one without the other.
You might not have this other half of your dynamic duo in your life yet, but if you do, keep them close because they are that one-in-a-million best friend that you need.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19) + GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
A friendship between Aries and Gemini is one that is very dynamic but has a lot of contrast — kind of like two colors at the opposite ends of a color wheel; very different but work seamlessly together.
This duo is energetic and intellectually strong, which makes for a friendship that knows what they want and isn't afraid to go for it. Gemini's communication skills and urge for freedom means that while she may need to do her own thing, she'll never leave Aries wondering what's going on.
As for Aries, her originality and enthusiastic spirit mean there's never a boring moment in this friendship. Aries is a fire sign and Gemini is an air sign, so there is a lot of support for each other going on in this dynamic duo.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) + CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
A friendship between Taurus and Cancer is one that is crazy reliable and dependable. These are the friends that make plans with each other and stick to them, no matter what happens. They tend to look after each other (sometimes without even realizing they do), which makes for a friendship that is probably the most stable out of all the zodiac sign duos.
Taurus, an earth sign, ground and soothes the emotional Cancer, while Cancer, the water sign, nourishes and cares for the stubborn Taurus. Both signs rely on each other for communication and security; Taurus brings a constant feeling of security to the friendship, while Cancer tries to keep consistent communication going.
LEO (July 23 - August 22) + LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Leo and Libra have different characters, but they still complement each other very well. There's great communication between these two signs, which is very important — especially when they're both off doing their own thing.
Libra's never-ending charisma and Leo's passionate nature intertwine to create a dynamic, colorful duo that never gets boring. This friendship is a collaborative and creative one, where differences between Leo and Libra only work to their advantage, rather than tear them apart.
They know how to admire each other's qualities and profit from each other's' eagerness for life and popularity. When these two signs are together, they're an unstoppable, magical force.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22) + CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Virgo and Capricorn are both very logical and intelligent. But instead of letting that make them a boring duo, it turns them into a couple of best friends out to conquer the world. Both of these zodiac signs want a lot out of life and will do whatever it takes to get it.
Virgo helps Capricorn find time to enjoy life, while Capricorn helps Virgo stay diligent and focused. Both are very ambitious about their dreams and, as both are earth zodiac signs, they know how to stay grounded and smart to achieve those dreams.
Success is inevitable in both of these horoscopes' lives, so it's no surprise that they would want to enjoy a lavish, full life of luxury and wealth. That said, they know how to use their heads to make responsible choices, instead of being frivolous.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21) + PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Both Scorpio and Pisces are water signs, so not only do they know the importance of learning how to compromise for each other, but to go with the flow every once in a while.
Scorpio helps Pisces get in touch with her dreams and ambitions, while Pisces helps Scorpio find empathy and consideration. These horoscopes make a dynamic duo because they both have similar interests and understand each other well.
They are also both incredibly deep and emotional in nature, which only strengthens their bond together, rather than make them too passionate to work well. If any duo is most likely to have the deepest roots, it's this one.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)+ AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
An innovative and dynamic team, Sagittarius and Aquarius are a force to be reckoned with. Sagittarius appreciates Aquarius' constant intelligence and innovation, while Aquarius admires Sagittarius' strength and zeal for life.
Alone, they've got a lot going for them, but together, they're like your favorite crime-fighting duo that kicks butt and takes names all day, every day. Both are faithful and dedicated to making their friendship last, no matter what it takes.
It might seem like two independent signs wouldn't work, but they actually like it that way. They know how to see things from start to finish, which makes them a great team in business and as friends. If there's a duo more cooperative and productive than Sagittarius and Aquarius, it hasn't been found yet.
