Note for Nic

The Astro Compat link now works. Knock yourself out. :-D

*evil grin*

Note for others:

If you're serious about checking compatibility, sun signs are not always the be-all and end-all. Important to check Rising Sign and Moon sign compatibility as well. The reason for this is that, while the Sun sign represents the self (ego), the rising sign represents the facade (what you show the world) and the moon sign represents the emotional centre (your deepest emotions). Example; I'm a Cap: that's what people who "know" me see. My Rising sign is Virgo (so I seem, perhaps, a bit more fastidious and exacting than I really am), but my moon sign is Cancer (make of that what you will, but a moon sign ruled by the moon... hoi).

Also, you can look at how the Venusian sign and Mars mesh (match his Mars to your venus and vice-versa). But it doesn't end there, you then have Eros and Psyche and antagonistic planet alignments, or good ones, when you merge the charts, blah blah blah. A single negative can be outweighed by a plethora of positives (after all, what relatiionship is perfect anyways?). That's one reason I'm actually skeptical of "astro matches", especially ones that declare that, say, one element with the other will "never" mix, because if you go by Sun signs alone, well, you could be missing out.

I rather like Jon Cainer's approach, he matches the elements (fire, earth, air, water) and the attributes (cardinal, mutable, fixed) and points out the positives and potential negatives and lets you work it out.

Anyhow, whether you believe in it or not, it's certainly fun. :-D
