Do you think zodiac signs make a difference in a relationship? Everything I have read in astrology tells me I should stick with other fire signs. Being I have never been with another fire sign, I don't know. What are your thoughts on this subject? What signs seem to work best for you?

I have dated my compatible signs and the non-compatible signs. I believe in Astrology and follow it. However, I would not avoid dating someone that did not fit into my compatible signs. Some people are truly exactly like their sign and others are not. That's just my 2cents worth.

First, astrology seems to bank on fairly generic personality traits that can be applied, at one time or another, to just about anyone. It seems to be spot-on at times, but remember that a broken clock is also right twice a day too.

Secondly, and this I find very strange... some people will actually try to enhance (or live out) astrological traits, or at the very least give those traits dominance in their lives.

While I seriously doubt that a sole reliance on astrology will bring you more or less success in relationships, given the extent to which people try to bring those traits out, it certainly can't hurt to understand it.

I tend to think they do make a difference when it comes to relationships.
I'm a gemini, and my most compatible sign is with a sagitarius.

But that is about to be put to the test, I recently met someone from POF and we hit it off FANTASTIC!! Two wonderful days together! and I'm going to spend this weekend with her also.

Thing is, she is a capricorn, so I'm really hoping this zodiac sign thing doesnt make a difference with us.

I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of male Leo's on this site in my area....I have to admit it does have me curious as to why so many!

One small problem....
In these days of identity theft, there just might be one or two people here who did not wish to actually give one more piece of information to one more potentially hacked data source.

Sooooo...... i know it is scandalous to mention it, and i do not wish to shock anyone, but some folks might, maybe , perhaps, have given an incorrect date of birth to POF.

Oh heck NO!!

merry xmas!

Sure there is something to it. I wouldnt bet the farm on it, but there zodiac traits do seem to have some validity.

I know I avoid Leos like the plague! I am a Cancer/Scorpio (moon is in Scorpio), a water/water person. Basically, I am screwed...lol..

If my criteria for finding a mate ever become so shallow as to place importance on the month in which a person was born, shoot me!

As much as I hate to be negative, I must say that horoscopes are for idiots, cold-reading is for fools, and the lottery is a tax on the mathematically inept.

OP: Pick me baby, I rock!!! hahahaha
Here's what "fire and fire" may do for you!

Love Match (Sagittarius with Aries)

This is yet another compatible combination. They both love and respect each other. Sagittarius could at times be misunderstood by Aries. Being a quiet person, Sagittarius finds it difficult to express his/her inner feelings to Aries. And this is taken for being cold and being less responsive by Aries. Sagittarius is fond of cleanliness, and Aries are a bit more carefree in their attitude. Aries like to relax and laze around at home on a holiday, but Sagittarius to clean and tidy up the house. There are times when Aries deliberately stays out of the house to be away from domestic hassles.
Aries is a perfect temperament match for Sagittarius. They are both active, spontaneous people who like socializing, have extravagant tastes in common, and enjoy the good life. There may be a little conflict because both are impulsive and brutally frank. Arguments can reach the boiling point. Aries's forceful sexual approach is not always playful Sagittarius's style. However, they have wonderful senses of humor and enjoy each other's company. If they make it in the bedroom, they'll make it everywhere else.

Fire is passion and these two are ablaze with it. Sex is usually fast, hot, furious and done when it's done.

Aries is Mars ruled and Sagittarius is Jupiter ruled. Mars is the warrior, male aspect in all of us. Seeking to protect, defend and hunt. Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system and seeks to inspire and provide us with our sense of "Ah-Ha".

Love Match (Sagittarius with Leo)

This is a romantic combination. Leo gets drawn to Sagittarius, who in turn helps to strengthen the ties. Leo, the sign of ambition, sees strong positive influences in Sagittarius. Leo loves power. Sagittarius knows hot to wield power. Leo is hesitant, Sagittarius aggressive. Sagittarius knows how to manipulate things.

Leo is entranced by optimistic, extroverted Sagittarius-and fun-loving Sagittarius is enchanted with Leo's sunny openness to life. Together they share a liking for freedom, adventure, and meeting new people. Both are passionate and fiery sexual types, and if anyone can keep Sagittarius faithful it's Leo. Leo's natural quality of leadership brings out what loyalty Sagittarius can give. Leo is very proud, but self-confident and expansive Sagittarius is perfectly happy to let Leo strut.

Leos are passionate creatures. All the fire signs are passionate but because of their Fixed Modality, Leos tend to hold it longer. Sagittarians are mutable and therefore will tend to leave as quickly as they enter a romantic encounter. They are known to be sparkling in the sack, however, and may be worth the small disappointment that the Lion feels due to such a fast exit.



Remember that astrology is more complicated. You are not one pure sign
Your moon and ascending sign makes a huge difference in shaping who you are, not just your sun sign! LOL.......

if you are one who believes in this, then you have to also put into factor the whole butting heads aspect as well. you may be a perfect match with one sign, but the flaws in each sign when put together can out weigh the compatability part. hope that made sense.

i believe in it to an extent. i think the personality traits explained for each sign are true. the core of each person never changes, but they themselves do.(natural thru the process of life. as we learn and grow, we change)
so those parts of astrology i believe. but what i stated above about the bad outweighing the good, just goes back to the effort and work that goes into growing a stronger relationship. then i think thats where fate steps in.

ya im a complex person, so?

suzalawinkles...
Can't go by the generic horror-scopes in the paper nor in the books to equate a fire sign with another fire sign.
The whole newspaper horoscopes and astrology are just way too generic.
Even those booklets that try to tell you which sign is better for you, is again, still too generic.

If you want to go with astrology, best to have your natal chart done and really look deeper into your chart. That will give you a better and more accurate picture of what you are looking at.
This is why no two Libras are the same, nor Leos or whatever.

There is alot more that comes into play than someone's Sun sign.

You can sometimes send off to have two charts compared and that may help but none of that is ever 100%. The reason why is because it can not take into account your environment and what you and a potential partner may or not have already dealt with or gone through.

Good luck to you

Love Match


embarking on a journey ....... Where did you find the Love Match you wrote at? What book did you get it from, sounds interesting.

True..... I know my moon and ascending or rising sign.

Now, how to go about getting a man that I'm dating, to tell me exactly where he was born, his exact time of birth, let alone his sun sign without him thinking that I'm a total loony bin is another thing!

That makes you a centaur.

A few years ago, when I was reentering the dating scene, my sister gave me a few books to "help" me out with the task... one was "Born on A Rotten Day"... which gave the negative character traits for each sign. And "Sex Astrology"... which discussed compatibility of a different sort.

lmao... it is always scream to read it to new guys and get their reaction.

Astrology is a nice novelty, but I don't believe in it and don't base any of my decisions in dating on it.

as a gemini I had married a pisces, dated an aquarius and a leo. I would say personality and lots of factors make for a solid relationship

suzalawinkles, it's wise to remember a few things:
1) Even astrologers say that you cannot really rely on someone's Sun sign, which is what most people know. Astrologers say that you need a chart done on you, and on each man, before you can begin to guess if you are compatible.
2) Astrology is not a science. It is an art. So it gives you food for thought, not black-and-white answers.

The signs that work best for me? Well, I'm a Scorpio, but with half my planets in Libra, and no fire signs in my chart whatsoever. This is what I've found:
Aries: Very upfront, and very up for it. Great for a fling, or maybe a relationship that starts with sex, but develops over time.
Taurus: Too quiet.
Gemini: Very friendly and flirty, but too changeable.
Cancer: Too crabby.
Leo: Great friends. I almost married one. If I was attracted to one, I'd go for it.
Virgo: Sexy, great talkers. But far too anal for my taste, especially in the kitchen.
Libra: I fall for these. But they always tend to have bad decisions in men, and often turn out to be the "town bike".
Scorpio: DANGER! DANGER! SEXUAL OVERLOAD! We'd probably never get out of bed. Ever.
Sagittarius: Very pretty, and very, very active. Too active hopping in & out of different people's beds.
Aquarius: Very sociable. But very aloof. I need human warmth.
Pisces: Too secretive.

Now, I'd bet that if you got 2 other Scorpios on here, they would say completely different things about Zodiac signs. But there you go. It's different for different people.

j When anything is positve... take it!!! Believe it!!!
The negative stuff, maybe a potential outcome!
We all make our own journeys... Horoscopes, can just be a guide in our lives!!
I have seen it happen!
k... i lost my train of thought.....
Yeeks!!
