Astrology Explored

September 5, 2007

Remember that person of a certain sun sign you found fascinating? You wonder if the two of you could ever make a go of it, if you just got together? Well the answer to that is a tad more complicated than matching your signs. To know if love has a chance to last, you really should visit your local astrologer. However, basic compatibility is important, and nothing is sadder than seeing a Geminii pine for a Scorpio, or a Leo after a Capricorn. Here’s why.

Each sign has basic drives and needs. Some zodiac signs combine well with others, and others not so much. Fire and Air signs in general get along well together, just as Earth and Water signs share a basic view of how things should be.

Aries needs to be in charge and they need a challenge. They enjoy most the energy exchange with Leo and Sagittarius, and find Gemini and Aquarians interesting. Libra is the sign opposite to them in the zodiac, which can work out, if the Aries doesn’t run over Libra while the Libra is trying to decide what to wear. Libra better not take too long or they’ll find their Aries has taken a hike, permanently.

Taurus , homebound and happy about it, is most happily engaged with Virgo and Capricorn, though a nice Cancer will do in a pinch. Scorpio is their opposite sign and if the Scorpio is willing to be tied down (and it is amazing how many actually like to do that) it might be a match, if other factors in the chart provide for compatibility.

Gemini needs freedom of movement in body as well as mind. Libra and Aquarius can keep up with the quicksilver tongue master, though Aries and Leo can provide stimulation as well. The oppositie sign is Sagittarius, though with this pair, freedom is such an issue that they just might decide to ‘keep things loose’, hardly a contract for a lifetime commitment.

Cancer finds the other water signs Scorpio and Pisces able to deal with their emotional vunerability, sensitivity and volitility. Earth signs Taurus and Virgo can be a stabilitizing influence,while their oppositie sign Capricorn provides security, though not emotional nurturance.

Leo adores anyone who adores them. That’s why Aquarius is generally not on the list of fav fans. Aquarius is much too busy trying to find the answers to world hunger, HMO’s and latest alien visitation to pay much attention. Fortunately for Leo, Geminis, Libras and Sagittarians will be glad to pay them homage.

Virgo goes with other earths signs, Capricorn and Taurus. Pisces the oppositie sign is an iffy choice, because although Virgo enjoys organizing the Fish’s life, the impractical Universal Traveler doesn’t alway notice Virgo’s efforts.

Libra finds the charm in Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini and Aquarius. Rush around Aries is seen as not refined enough. Sniff.

Scorpio–who wouldn’t want to bed a Scorpio? And they want to bed you. That doesn’t mean they want to keep you. Cancer and Pisces have a better shot at it then most, though Capricorn and Virgos are also likely candidates. Taurus, though providing the fascination that only an opposite sign can provide, might be too possessive for the Scorpio’s taste. After all, it is OK for them to possess you, just not the other way around.

Sagittarius likes fun, fun, fun. As long as you are fun, they hang around. When things start turning serious, they are likely to take the high road, or the low road, out of Dodge. Those with a talent of keeping things light, like a Aries, Aquarius, Libra and Leo have a better shot at happily ever after than Gemini, who talks way too much for Sagittarians taste. If you can’t get a word in edgewise, whats the point?

Capricorns take an awfully long time to commit. They want to build their empire first and you’ll only get in the way. They only mind being alone when they’ve made to the top, where they find its very lonely. They like practical Virgos and Taurus, who know how to properly care for Capricorn’s resources. Scorpios unleash their wild side (imagine that) and Pisces provide them with an emotional comfort they’ve never known. Cancer? Please, they are just too emotional for the Saturnian disposition.

Aquarians hardly notice you are there. That’s why it helps if you are an Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius or Libra who are going to boogey woogey whether or not the Aquarian notices. And if you boogey woogey, the Aquarian will notice, if only because motion captures their attention.

Pisces has the unique ability to be anything to anybody. This is why everyone loves them. Does this mean they will love you back? Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn share basic sensibilites that promote true compatibility. Virgos need not apply. Pisces know their lives are a mess, they just don’t care and don’t want to hear about it.
