One thing that we all might agree on is that life is chaotic. It’s kind of a fact. Your Uber driver might not be understanding directions, your co-worker is frustratingly texting in all caps, and your favourite matcha shop just closed – chaos. And when you are in the midst of all this, who do you turn to? Naturally, your best friend. The one who has been around through every mess and midnight ice cream binge session.

So, This National Best Friend Day (which is on June 8, btw), just tune into the universe. The stars might be raising their eyebrow and whispering quietly, ‘What if this is your forever person?’ The thought might send you into a spiral but hang on, we have got tea to spill. From an astrological point of view, friendship is not just about who sends you the best memes or makes the best cold brew; it’s all about alignment of values, vibes, and yes, birth charts (as you might have guessed). And when cosmic chemistry meets emotional safety, you have a love story that might become the envy of the world.

The forever friendship: Where the stars spark

In the realm of astrology, friendship compatibility resides in the 11th house, while romantic love hangs out in the 5th and 7th houses. When these houses align, especially in synastry (which is the comparison of two charts), you get that rare, heart-eyes-for-my-bestie energy. People with strong Air sign placements in Venus or Moon, namely Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, tend to fall in love with the ones they can talk to forever. Mercury moon aspects also show that soul-deep understanding we often only get in friendships.

Signs most likely to marry their best friend

Aquarius + Gemini: The connection between an Aquarius and a Gemini is all conversation, cleverness, and zero judgment. 100 per cent best-friends-to-lovers potential (Like one of your favourite romance novels).

Virgo + Taurus: Their friendship is built on trust, small rituals, and remembering the little things. They move slowly but love deeply, and also never forget your coffee order. Cancer + Pisces: These are sensitive souls who can cry, cook, and cuddle together (Ultimate romantic vibes). And their emotional intuition is off the charts like they’re tuned to each other’s dreams.

Leo + Sagittarius: Leo and Sagittarius together are loud, loving and adventurous. One hypes you up, the other plans the road trip. Together? A firestorm of loyalty and laughter. Signs that might struggle with the romance shift

Scorpio: Scorpio guards their heart like it’s a museum vault with Kohinoor inside it. While loyal in friendship, crossing into love is tricky for them unless trust is sacred.

Aries: They are besties one minute, ghosting the next. They thrive on spark, not slowness; so going from ‘bros’ to ‘bride’ can be a rocky road for them.

Benefits of marrying your best friend (what the Astro says)

Stability from Saturn: Charts with strong Saturn aspects often show relationships built to last. If your bestie keeps you grounded? That is Saturn doing their thing.

Awesome communication: Good Mercury aspects = seamless conversation. They know when you are spiralling and when you are just hungry and get you pizza pockets.

Soul contract vibes: Many astrologers believe marrying your best friend is part of a karmic path, what some call a ‘soul contract.’ You were probably partners in a past life, too. Sounds romantic, right? It’s totally that.

Don’t ignore the vibe

This National Best Friend Day, do not just settle by sending the usual “ILY bro” text. Look closer. If you feel safe, seen, and stupidly happy around your bestie (the most important thing), maybe it’s not just friendship. Maybe it is what is written in the stars.
