I would look at all of the planets’ signs, but it ultimately depends on each individual. For instance, a person with a Cancer moon would be very sensitive to the compatibility between his/her own moon and someone else’s moon (since the Cancer is originally ruled by the moon). 

Or maybe someone has an Aries moon, but also has Mars in Pisces. That would ‘soften’ the fiery Aries aspect and make the moon more dreamy and receptive.

To give you a straight answer though, if I had to look at just a few planetsI prefer to look at the combination of sun and moon. Maybe someone has a Sagittarius Sun (fire sign) and his/her partner has Taurus Sun (earth sign). Taurus enjoys comfort, Sagittarius wants adventure. There’s naturally going to be a conflict there. 

Oh, but wait! The Taurus has an Aquarius moon (air), which makes the Taurus less grounded, more intellectual and curious. Aquarius and Sagittarius get along very well- both are naturally philosophical and interested in seeing the bigger picture. 

Maybe the Sagittarius has a Virgo moon (earth), which makes the Sagittarius sun more analytical: less philosophical, more realistic. Virgo appreciates the earthiness of the Taurus sun. 

A very charming combination. Glib, sweet, and easy to get along with. A Pisces sun presents itself as sweet and dreamy, but the Gemini moon is detached and mentally analytical. Both signs are mutable signs however, so this combination may struggle with finding stability in their lives while not feeling suffocated by routine. This type may idealize one idea or person, but once they have what they desired, they are no longer any interested. They may have many different personas, and people feel like it is hard to get to know these people. This combination excels in acting, writing, media, even business- where they have to win over people. Keeping a journal may help with the constant mental dialogue.
