Astrological Compatibility: A Time-Honored Approach
Curious if you are compatible with a certain someone? Why not permit Astrology to do the detective work for you? By doing so, you can bypass most of the common pitfalls in friendships and romantic liaisons. Let’s get started!
FIRE SIGNS (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and AIR SIGNS (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are very comfortable together. Fire and Air blend naturally, encouraging friendship and inspiration in each other. Fire and Air people are excited by all things new, and can’t wait to study, use, and benefit from a brilliant new theory or item. Fire and Air also balance each other emotionally and physically — and don’t mind dramatizing and showcasing their private lives. Think about Madonna and one of her husbands.
Conversely, EARTH SIGNS (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and WATER SIGNS (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) feel safe, comfy, and secure together, worship their privacy, and tend to be the nest builders of the zodiac. Traditional marriages are built on the strength of an ambitious Earth sign breadwinner and a thrifty Water sign homemaker. Earth and Water signs have been known to collect heaps of items that could lead to overcrowded living conditions. Collections passed down from one generation to the next give Earth and Water signs a sense of tradition and permanence.
While Fire and Air signs thrive on spontaneity and perpetual change, Earth and Water signs prefer loyalty and permanence. Another difference is AGE. Fire and Air remain active and youthful as long as possible, while Earth and Water signs accept aging and maturity as important landmarks.
Each sign has key signatures that affect relationships. Here is a brief guide:
ARIES hates to wait for anything. Details, excuses and lengthy explanations or hesitation bore them to tears — or a shouting fit. Replace loose talk with very focused action.
TAURUS loves to be surrounded by collections of things, so don’t separate them from the food and possessions they love. Learn to accept their strange sense of timing and give up trying to change them.
GEMINI feels smothered by inertia, but craves provocative conversation and controversy. Gems bask in the glow of being the smartest person in the room — or any given relationship. Don’t be a bore, but do surprise and amaze your Gemini as often as possible.
CANCER fears abandonment and poverty above all else, and stubbornly clings to difficult family members and a troubled past. Don’t criticize Cancer’s relatives — especially Mama. If you can’t say something wonderful about Mama, hush up.
LEO views loved ones as extensions of him/herself, and needs to be proud of loved ones’ status and accomplishments. The more competitive, good-looking and successful you are, the better your chances with a Leo.
VIRGO passionately needs to be needed, despite their complaints, aches and pains. Remaining essential to your happiness and welfare gives Virgo a worthy purpose in life and a reason to live. Just don’t forget to show your appreciation for every good deed and errand performed by Virgo.
LIBRA doesn’t like being alone, and if left alone, starts calling friend after friend. Libra dreams of and desires never-ending romantic love. You’ll need a big appetite for parties and fashion if you want to date a Libra — and don’t forget to say ‘thank you’ for each go-round on Libra’s endless party circuit.
SCORPIO will not tolerate betrayal in any form. Scorpio views his/her private life as off-limits to outsiders. Even if your Scorpio is not monogamous, you must remain totally faithful and secretive all the way to the grave.
SAGITTARIUS may smile at your attempt to dominate or control, but you’ll never see that Sagittarius again. Freedom is as important as air and water to Sagittarius. If you try to limit, correct or control them — POOF — they disappear.
CAPRICORN can put work and obligations ahead of romance, and won’t accept any embarrassing neediness from you. If you’re able to fend for yourself emotionally during the first half of the relationship, your second half will be very profitable and rewarding.
AQUARIUS enjoys setting the pace and trying out new experiences. Inside each Aquarian is a humanitarian searching for an ahead-of-its-time worthy cause. If you succeed in introducing an Aquarian to a unique and brilliant new cause, YOU’RE IN!
PISCES needs kindness, understanding and comfort. When Pisces overdramatizes the hurt he/she has experienced, be gentle and sympathetic. Hold Pisces in your arms and dance to Pisces’ favorite music.
