A little astrology experiment

[Rays]

I was talking to a friend the other day and she brought up astrology and said she was curious what my wife was. According to the astrologists the fact that she is a Taurus and I am a Libra did not bode well for us. It made me wonder. Does anyone know a site that can tell us what signs are supposed to be compatible and maybe we can do an experiment to see how many other people that are struggling in their marriage have similar astrological misgivings. Personally I am a skeptic, but I thought it might be fun.

There ya go!

Well Jimmy I am a fire sign and my hubby is water, lol. I learned long ago that water added doesn't make for such a good fire;)

You’re service oriented, and can help Taurus move towards their work and life goals. Occasionally Taureans lose the ability to feel inspired about what they’re doing, where they’re going — you’ll be good at giving them the gentle push they need. This ability to rejuvenate Taurus can cost you in terms of your own physical wellbeing, though, so keep an eye on yourself.

Also, you and Taurus may sometimes find your agendas out of sync and needing adjustment. In extreme cases, your love of the social life could mean you’re not ready to settle down when Taurus is. Allowances will need to be made on both sides. If you end up surrendering to Taurus’s needs out of a sense of obligation, your wellbeing and mental peace will suffer.

Any Taurus born between 30 April and 10 May will also be reasonably compatible. The problem with this group is that they will be overly concerned with financial security and could demand an unfair share of input from you. Sort out money plans with them very carefully.


Sounds like some of our problems could be explained by this. hmmmm?

Anybody else want to share?

Cancer + Virgo

Water + Earth = Mud <---This says it all, LOL


This is a rich and fertile combination of two feminine zodiac signs, ruled by the Moon and Mercury respectively. Cancer and Virgo in combination produce great results on all levels of experience. Your sensitive ruler, the Moon, and the intellectually brilliant Mercury of Virgo combine in the most wonderful play of heavenly forces.

Expect great friendship and understanding from this recipe, but remember, Virgo will sometimes have trouble understanding your mood swings. Virgo will say, ‘Think things through and don’t be so emotional about it’, and you’ll reply, ‘But can’t you feel what I’m feeling?’

You are at opposite ends of the spectrum: you, Cancer, are emotional, and Virgo is intellectual. Cancer is a friendly sign of Virgo, so Virgo will, over time, learn to be more responsive, to be more like you. Likewise, you can become more reasonable, more like Virgo, as the bond between you strengthens.

The one area you must learn to handle is Virgo’s tendency to criticise and judge. You tend to be too vulnerable for their ruthless and incessant demand for perfection. This will also affect your most private area, sexuality. Virgo demands a performance that is not in keeping with your slower and more receptive nature.

Basically, we'll be best friends, and non-sexual because he'll want ME to do all the work....right on target.

Scorpio + Taurus

Water + Earth = Mud



Many Scorpios have been madly attracted and attached to Taurus, their opposite sign. Scorpios have a magnetic appeal that is unquestionably too much for Taurus to resist. As the old saying goes — opposites do attract.

In your first meeting with Taurus you’ll find them very dynamic and strong, even though they may not say much. You’ll feel excited by the waves of passion that wash over you in their company. It’s a powerful attraction. Taurus will have similar feelings about you, because there’s an strong connection between your ruling planets, Mars and Venus.

Your star sign is fixed and watery, and the action of water on Taurus’s earth element won’t achieve much at first. Your inflexibility, plus their stubbornness, will result in quite a bit of conflict. You’ll agree on certain things, but argue and drive each other crazy on others. It’ll be head to head on many occasions. Both of you need to respect each other’s viewpoint.

Your constant need to express yourself through sex will flatter Taurus at first, but they need more affection and sensitivity and warmth if they are to feel secure about the relationship lasting. Taurus is very touchy-feely by nature, but they don’t want just sex! They need to feel secure.

You can help Taurus explore that untapped part of their nature in which their love and sensuality can reach a pinnacle, and Taurus can help you get in touch with your softer side.

Oddly, this relationship can bring up psychological challenges in the area of money, power and control. Although you’ll nurture and love each other, these issues will be a major testing ground for you. You mustn’t let this get in the way of developing a deeper love for one other.

Mostly Taurus will fare well with you, but those born between 20 April and 29 April are by far the best suited. A true love match and possibly even marriage opportunities can be on the cards with people born during this time.

You could be attracted to Taureans born between 30 April and 10 May, but you will find the relationship is more platonic than sexual — these people are more suited to social activities with you. You may not feel comfortable about taking friendships with them to the next level.

Business between you and those born between 11 May and 21 May could go well. Before getting too involved with them, though, make sure you clearly understand their financial needs and know how you can satisfy their need for security. Once this part of the relationship is sorted out, the emotional and sexual aspects will look after themselves.

Sagittarius + Aquarius



Fire + Air = Hot Air



Both Sagittarius and Aquarius love a busy — perhaps even hectic — timetable, and love meeting people. You are likely to become great friends. New and progressive ideas and generally being in the centre of social action is something you both seek, so anything to do with clubs, theatres, outings and outdoor sports will attract both of you.

But there are differences too. Your enthusiasm and self-confidence makes you very warm and demonstrative; Aquarius is a little more aloof.

You must remember that Aquarius is very quirky by nature and progressive in all their attitudes. Fortunately, this doesn’t worry you. You are happy to let people have their own views.

But be prepared for some pretty abrupt and unexpected changes from Aquarius. Even though they are more methodical and prudent than you, there are times when they need a complete change of pace. This might throw you off balance and leave you struggling to adjust.

Life with an Aquarian will be dynamic, and never dull or routine. You’ll find yourselves spending hour upon hour deep in discussions — about everything from the environment to politics to conspiracy theories to who knows what. You’ll entertain each other, and this will be the basis for a good, long-term friendship if nothing else.

The sexual side of your relationship is likely to be high-energy and exciting. Aquarius is very electric, and very desirable. Your affection can help Aquarius relax and become calmer. This will be a great improvement on their usual frenzied approach. As long as they don’t bring that into the bedroom, you’ll be happy.

If you find yourself with an Aquarian born between 21 January and 30 January you might be surprised to find just how strong-willed they are. It’s likely there will be a clash of wills, and a fierce clash at that! Take extra precautions if you’re seriously thinking of a relationship with them.

Aquarians born between 31 January and 8 February are affected by the sign of Gemini and Mercury, which happens to rule your marriage sector. Holy wedlock might just be on the cards if you end up in a relationship with someone born in this period. Good luck.

Most Aquarians born between 9 February and 18 February will be far more romantically drawn to you if you’re born between 23 November and 1 December. The touch of Venus will help them soothe your soul and make you feel loved and cared for.

Air + Air = Wind

Aquarius is the sign seen as ruling the New Age. Anything modern, electrical or technological is associated with it. You pride yourself on the fact that you’re always in touch with whatever is modern. Two Aquarians coming together will redefine what ‘relationship’ means.

Aquarius plus Aquarius gives a double air element, which means a lot of turbulence–gale force winds! When you come together, you don’t create a revolutionary uprising in the usual sense. But you can be sure that your energies will produce something unique; when you walk into a room, people will feel that energy and sense your difference. You’ll set yourselves apart from your peer group.

You both crave excitement, change, the unusual, even the bizarre. In extreme cases your relationship will produce such wacky behaviour that others won't know quite what to make of you. But your behaviour is only for shock value. You’ll play this up, dramatising the relationship for the sake of making a huge impression on the world around you.

This may be fun, but you will need to settle down and sort out what motivates you as a couple.

Try not to let your relationship become too self-centred; after all, you do both have a compassionate side. You could find yourselves very busy sorting out the world and satisfying your own individual desires, so make sure you put enough time into fulfilling each other’s needs. This is essential if you want a permanent committed relationship.

Once you address this issue you can move forward as a couple. You will get lots of love and support from each other in your individual endeavours as well.

The bedroom is a great place for your exciting antics, unique ideas and emotional colours. This combination will offer you many exceptional experiences. Expect loads of fun and lots of way-beyond-the-ordinary activities.

If you’re looking for equilibrium and permanence, try to team up with Aquarians born between 21 January and 30 January. These are your best match: they are the strongest Aquarians.

HIM - Aquarians born between 31 January and 8 February should avoid getting together with each other. The co-rulership of Virgo will produce a flighty, unstable combination which could frazzle your nerves. It doesn't produce great long-term benefits for either of you.

ME -Aquarians born between 9 February and 18 February have the touch of Venus at birth. Love is their second name, and they can bring you great happiness romantically. This combination will not only fulfil you; it will also give you the excitement you’re always looking for.

So does this mean it's a right or wrong relationship? Seems to work.

Kind of funny Jimmy I am a Taurus and My husband is a Libra...sound familar lol


Taurus + Libra



Earth + Air = Dust This doesnt sound very good huh



Libra is ruled by Venus, as you are, so there’s an immediate connection between Librans and Taureans. Libra is an air sign and stimulates your mind, and your earthiness can ground the mental scatter of the Libran.

You will enjoy the social variety that Libra brings, but it could also exhaust you. Remember, you need domestic stability. So while you need sociability, you will need to strike a balance between the two styles. Too much partying will put you off balance.

A Libran can offer you the sensitivity — and social graces — you need. On your own, you can be pretty stubborn and wilful. (Very true) Librans seem to know how to deal with that. On the other side, you can offer Libra a comfortable and secure future.

If your Libran friend is sensitive and co-operative, this relationship can be a superb one — a perfect balance of social activity and domestic bliss, where you nurture and support each other.

Libra will be prepared to help you in areas related to work. If you’ve felt obstructed, and incapable of feeling inspired in your life path, Libra will help push you forward.

Libra is the sign that relates to your vitality. It also reflects the opposite — illness — for your sign. It points to possible health issues, or problems with everyday activities and routines. Your lifestyles may be out of sync with each other. In the extreme, an overly social Libran may not feel comfortable staying home, whereas you are most comfortable at home.

The partnership may need both of you to make major lifestyle adjustments until you find a happy medium. Be careful not to go too far with this. If, out of a sense of obligation, you surrender your Taurean needs, your health and wellbeing may suffer in the future.

Librans born between 23 September and 3 October are ruled by Venus, and their views and life objectives will be a very good match with yours. You will have great relationships with these people.

Husband is Oct 1
If you get involved with those born between 4 October and 13 October, remember that the sign of Aquarius has an influence on them. You may find two things difficult. One, they have some pretty progressive ideas — wacky, you might even say. And two, because of this they may not give you the stability or security you look for. If love is blind, though, it might work.

Those born between 14 October and 23 October are very attracted to you and have a high degree of sensuality. Communication is a key word for them, though, so get out the books and brush up on your general knowledge and social skills. You’ll need it with them!

I am the most stunningly ignorant human alive and know nothing of the stars, except that they look real pretty on a clear night when you're lucky enough to be far from "civilization".

So maybe someone hipper than me can explain what this all means.

Me: Aquarius.
She: Pisces by the date, claims she's really an Aquarius due to some leap year technicality.

We: As different as if one of us had been born on Jupiter. Once very much in love. Now existing in a strange, endless purgatory of separation and reconciliation and "we really should keep it together for the kids."

Where we are: Right now, I imagine that she's asleep. I'm awake and currently chewing off my leg and not really enjoying the flavor.

But God hates a coward and some things just can't be put off any longer.

Libra + Cancer

Air + Water = Rain


The signs of Libra and Cancer form a right angle in the heavens: this can be one of the most challenging combinations of the zodiac, and will cause you great uneasiness at times. The differences are not always apparent straight away, though.

Both of you desire peace and harmony, but significant issues will arise over time. Cancer’s need for a quite private life will start to squash your social, playful and variety-seeking style. You’ll probably see them as a bit of a stick in the mud with some outdated personal attitudes. You need a far wider group of people than Cancer to share your social and intellectual life with.

Cancer has a chance to bridge these underlying differences if the two of you can get together on work projects(ie family & kids). They have great skill in nurturing the seed of an idea until it blossoms and bears fruit — and you’ll do extremely well at selling those ideas. This could be a positive two-way arrangement for you if you choose. But work is one thing; love is another!

The intimacy quotient between Libra and Cancer is quite high because of the sympathy between the feminine planets that rule you: the Moon and Venus. At heart you both want to be loved and to show your love, so you will both feel that you’re being nurtured and appreciated in your relationship.

This partnership has some very positive things going for it, but you would need to work through the other challenges that have been discussed.

Cancerians born between 22 June and 3 July are very sensitive. love and They will give you emotional support, but their intense mood swings added to your own shifting emotions could make this an unpredictable combination. They are fine companions, though, and will always give you dazzling gems of advice just when you need them.

the mrs.
One of your best bets would be Cancerians born between 4 July and 13 July. This is because they are ruled by Scorpio, which brings intense passion. They also share many of your interests(again ie family & kids), and they’re willing to set aside time to do these activities with you, which will make you happy.

You will have strong emotional and karmic bonds with Cancerians born between 14 July and 22 July. Your meetings with these people will be fortunate, and will bring you many lessons in life.

Although you will not initially accept it, these people do have something deep and far-reaching to teach you about yourself. The only variable here is how open you are to these lessons and how quickly you decide to develop a relationship with them.

Virgo + Capricorn



Earth + Earth = Solid Ground



Here we see another earth sign partnership — another no-brainer. A combination of similar elements is always a great foundation for a relationship. You will have an immediate rapport with Capricorn. For some reason, they seem less serious to you than they might to other star signs.

Both these signs are down to earth, straight shooters, but there are some differences between you. You are probably far more interested in providing clear and practical service than a Capricorn. They are more interested in success, which is their key word.

Although you are basically both economical, you are far more upbeat. Capricorn is ruled by sullen Saturn, but you know how to give them a lift — with you, they feel refreshed and youthful. And they will be more responsive to you than other star signs.

You manage to bring out the mischievous and fun-seeking side of Capricorn, who is usually serious and ambitious. This is not to say that you won’t both work hard to reach your material goals, but in your company Capricorn can ‘hang loose’ and knock down their self-protective walls a bit.

On the surface this seems more likely to be a business-oriented relationship, but if you delve more deeply you’ll see that Capricorn does have a strong influence on your romantic life. They draw out your amorous side — you will feel your heart miss a beat or two from time to time.

You also don’t get into being critical and imposing your views on them so much. Somehow, you trust them. This in itself will bring out the more sensitive and loving side of your Capricorn partner. Never forget, though, that behind this is a great need for security and long-term comfort.

Those born between 22 December and 1 January are very well matched to you, especially in financial and material needs. You can work with these Capricorns and make oodles of money, but you can also develop a friendship. You’ll need to move slowly with them until there is emotional trust between you.

Your sensuality is triggered by Capricorns born between 2 January and 10 January — Venus, the planet of love, is sparking their emotions. There’s a good chance of a fine love affair with these individuals, and possibly even a more long-term and committed relationship.

If you find a Capricorn born between 11 January and 20 January, hang onto them. They are ideally suited to you — Mercury co-rules them, and is your ruling planet, which is a recipe for a perfect romantic match.
