So! I have decided to blog about Love and Astrology because those are two of my favorite topics to talk about-and I swear I’m a match-maker! Most of the time, I’m right about people. I’m usually a good judge of character and can size almost any situation up in minutes. I know a successful relationship from a really weak one. Regardless of what I’ve experienced in past relationships (all types), I know what it takes to maintain a healthy relationship/friendship with anyone. However, I still have more learning to do – it’s all a part of growing.
Some religious people who serve one God don’t like to get caught up in Astrology because they feel that conflicts with the God they believe in. According to some studies that I've read, the beginning of the Holy Bible, Genesis, Chapter 49 (in particular), the 12 tribes of Israel is supposed to correlate with the 12 Zodiac signs. The traits of each zodiac sign match the traits of each corresponding individual that made up that tribe. I will get into all of that another time though...
Right now I’m just gonna skim the surface with some zodiac facts and give you a little synopsis on the traits of each zodiac sign that I’ve studied and picked up along the way. You can either follow along to gain some understanding, or just skip to your sign cuz I know you wanna know lol...Some of these traits determine compatibility within other signs. Just keep in mind...just because you’re most compatible with another doesn’t mean a relationship with that person is going to work; and just because you’re least compatible doesn’t mean it can’t work. You have to take other things into consideration such as a person’s upbringing, what moon or planet signs, or cusps they were born under and their environment. I’m not going to get into moons, planets and cusps though-I’ll be here all day. I will talk briefly mention the other components of the Zodiac.
The 12 signs of the zodiac are broken down into several different groups.
I’m just going to mention three – the Elements, Dualities and Quadruplicities. The elements include, Fire, Air, Earth & Water signs. Fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Fire signs are energy boosters-very active and vibrant. The air signs, which are intellectual and communicative, are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Earth signs, which are more stable and “down to earth”, are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Lastly, the most sensitive and emotional signs are the water signs- Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
The Dualities which are group into six signs are feminine and masculine.
Feminine signs include Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces. Masculine signs are Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. I think that is self explanatory but if you still don’t get it just keep reading.
The Quadriplicities or quadrants are divided into three groups: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. Cardinal signs represent dynamic change and movement.
Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorns are Cardinals. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are Fixed (in their ways lol). They represent stability and great willpower. The Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. These signs are the most adaptable in the zodiac. They can adapt to any situation or life condition. You can almost tell by some of the stuff I mentioned what signs are conflicting and which are more harmonious with one another.
As you read about the different signs you will notice a lot of them share same traits. Just keep in mind that every Aries or Sag isn’t going to be the same-but they most likely will have some of the same attributes. As I mentioned earlier, you have to take other things into consideration, like a Gemini being born on a Cancer cusp, may have some Cancer traits. Also, anyone can have any of the traits listed below…you can’t solely rely on just the zodiac sign. For example, if your parents let you get away with lying, then that’s probably why you’re a liar lol… but listed below are some general characteristics, positive and negative, of each sign and their compatibility.
Let’s start off with the beginning of the Zodiac…the Aries
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Fire. Masculine. Cardinal.
Aries are Bold, Daring, natural born leaders. Very ambitious and goal-oriented from what I know. They are very demanding and love to take charge, therefore they need to be with passive people who are going to allow them to dominate (or let them think they’re in charge). But! They don’t need a pushover-they will keep it moving on that ass! They are also very upbeat, out-going and spontaneous people. There is never a dull moment around them. They can also be very arrogant, blunt, rude, sarcastic...oh and short-tempered and hot-headed so watch out! Another downside is they can be very two-faced and spitfeful. Aside from that, they love challenges and will stand by anything they believe in. A great thing about Aries is that they are very loyal and passionate about anyone or anything they love.
Most Compatible with: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius
Least Compatible with: Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn
Opposite: Libra
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Earth. Feminine. Fixed.
Veryyy patient. Tooo slow. Won’t budge-because they’re stubborn people! It takes a while for a Taurus to open up and they usually take their time in love. They want to make sure you can live up to their standards and do more for them than they can do for you. Ladies, don’t dare pressure a Taurus man into anything like commitment. He is usually trying to feel you out and sometimes that takes years. He doesn’t mind being alone so ultimatums won’t work. You just have to figure out if you’re going to be just as patient as he is. The fastest way to get to his heart is through his belly-they love to eat. A Taurus man is also very loyal and loves being in long relationships. They are very passionate in love and can be very possessive as well. The women also love long relationships and may delve into a relationship faster than a Taurus man. When you’re with her she has to be the center of your world. She also has to realize it’s not all about her all the time. These people are very passionate and romantic but a Taurus man can be dull, boring, routine and stuck in his ways, however some are more outgoing then others. Taureans can be very materialistic but at the same time are conscious of their spending. They love money but most are very stingy with it.
Most Compatible with: Cancer, Pisces, Virgo, Capricorn
Least Compatible with: Aries, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Gemini
Opposite: Scorpio
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Air. Masculine. Mutable.
Geminis are very fun people who love other fun people. There is never a dull moment around a Gemini-they hate boredom! They are very quick-minded and their interests shift by the minute so you have to know how to hold their attention (short-attention span). These are very fast-paced, on-the-go people so you need to be able to keep up or you will be left behind. They are very impatient and wait for no one! They are also very versatile which makes them the greatest multi-taskers you will ever meet in your life. They are good friends who you can always count on for good advice. Geminis are intellectual, clever, witty and expressive. They have BIG ideas that are larger than life. In order to keep up with this love interest you have to be very spontaneous and outgoing. You also have to be as independent as them- they DO NOT like clingy or needy people. However! If you don’t show enough interest in them, they will be on to the next! You also have to allow them to open up on their own and come out of their shell - they hate feeling rushed. They also don’t like to feel obligated, trapped, or controlled by any thing or person. They must feel FREE in any relationship or they will rebel.
Most Compatible with: Aquarius, Libra, Leo, Aries
Least Compatible with: Virgo and Pisces
Opposite: Sagittarius
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Water. Feminine. Cardinal.
Cancer people are beautiful people but yet very crabby. They’re Overly-sensitive and emotional like a Pisces, which is why they are water signs. Always crying (especially the men). They think they have that tough skin or shell like a crab but they really don’t. They are very intuitive and can usually see right through a person’s bullshit. They can be very snappy, rude, indifferent...and the women can be very bitchy. However, you can always depend on a Cancer if they’re your true friend-they always have your back. They also can save their asses off because they are so damn cheap. I mean, they can reeeally stretch a dollar. So if you’re in a jam, you better believe they have the money to bail you out, even if they say they don’t. These people are also nurturers and loooove children and people despite their moodiness. They are very family oriented, sheltered and most likely to be married. They are natural home-bodies and couch potatoes lol...Cancers are also very sensitive and love hard so handle with care.
Most Compatible with: Pisces, Virgo, Taurus, Scorpio
Least Compatible with: Aries and Libra
Opposite: Capricorn
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Fire. Masculine. Fixed.
One word to describe a Leo: EXTRAVAGANT. These people always appear to be larger than life itself. They are very self-centered, love attention, and it has to be all about them. They are jealous like God! They have a very confident aura and you can tell by the way they enter a room with their “Kingly” strut. Leos have BIG hearts. They are very generous and BIG spenders. Sometimes their generosity is what makes people really love and appreciate them or take advantage of them. They love the lavish life as and are far from cheap with themselves. If they want it, they’re going to get it. They are also passionate and very affectionate in love. They are very exciting to be around and are usually the life of the party. They are also natural born leaders-hence the Lion symbol. They are very STRONG in opinion and state opinions as facts. They think they know everythingggg and even when they’re wrong they don’t want to let you know they’re wrong because they have very BIG EGOS. Most Leos think they're Superior to everyone else around them-pay them no mind lol... Everything about a Leo will be Grandiose so you have to come to the table with ABUNDANCE! Get ready for the ride of your life!
Most Compatible with: Aries, Sagittarius, Libra, Gemini
Least Compatible with: Taurus and Scorpio
Opposite: Aquarius
Opposite: Aquarius
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Earth. Feminine. Mutable.
Hmmmm…lol These people are very reserved and laid back. They rely heavily on standards and morals. They are very conscientious and careful about every move they make. This is how they choose their mate and friends. They size everyone up! These people are very negative in nature. They can’t help it though. They strive to be perfect and want you to be perfect too. If something is out of place they can’t ignore it. They have to point it out. The reason is because they are too analytical and critical, which is why they have difficulty maintaining long-term relationships.The crazy thing is when a female Virgo is in a relationship with the wrong man, she find every excuse to hold on to him until she's ready to let go. But! the men are different-they will fire a woman quickly if she doesn't meet his "standards". Most Virgos are down to earth so they are good people to talk to and get advice from. They are also very kind-hearted once you get to know them and will do whatever for you. They are usually dedicated and helpful in anything that they do. They go hard for their loved ones-people like them are nice to have in your corner. When in love they are very sensual and passionate.
Most Compatible with: Taurus, Scorpio, Capricorn, Cancer
Least Compatible with: Gemini and Sagittarius
Opposite: Pisces
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
Air. Masculine. Cardinal.
Libras are one of the most easy-going people of the zodiac. They are social butterflies. They looove people which is why a lot of the men are unfaithful. Libras are very charming and can ease their way into the minds and hearts of others with very little effort. Since they are very keen listeners and talkative people, they often play the friend role to get close to others –and it works! A Libra man can get talk a girl out of her panties in less than 60 seconds. Talk about having the “gift for gab”, Libras definitely got that! They can have anyone they want. These are very manipulative people so watch out! Libra men are also known for being dishonest and unfaithful. In general they are very active, free-spirited and giving. They love to please people. Some Libras suffer from low-self esteem because while busy trying to please everyone, they still feel inadequate-like they’re not “liked” enough. Behind closed doors they put themselves down a lot. Sometimes they feel like they’re not enough of anything. You won’t be able to tell because they are very confident in front of others. Libras are independent people but can also be very clingy and controlling with the one they’re in love with. They can be unemotional or too emotional and unstable.
Most Compatible with: Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, Sagittarius
Least Compatible with: Cancer, Capricorn, Virgo
Opposite: Aries
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Water. Feminine. Fixed.
These are very strong-willed, courageous bold people. They are proud leaders. They are very focused and usually know exactly what they want and most-likely will get it. If they weren’t so emotional they could pass for a fire sign. Scorpios can definitely survive in the wilderness. They are adaptable to their environment and fearless. Do not ever cross them! You will regret it. Scorpio people hold grudges and can be vengeful and will make you pay for your mistakes. Even 10 years later! On the flip side, they have a sensitive touch, they are passionate, loving, and loyal. Don’t mess with their loved ones! They are very over-protective of them and will do almost anything for them. Scorpios are also very intuitive and secretive so don’t pry or they will get defensive. They best way to get something out of a Scorpio is to not appear nosey. Just let them talk and don’t interrupt. Scorpios are also very jealous, controlling, and takes matters of the heart seriously. So if you don’t really want to be with them, don’t play games with them - they will hold it against you. Good or bad, they don’t forget anything anyone has ever done for them or to them. Lol
Most Compatible with: Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces
Least Compatible with: Leo, Aquarius, Libra, Sagittarius
Opposite: Taurus
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Fire. Masculine. Mutable.
Crazy! Lol…just joking, they’re just a little hot-headed sometimes. They are also very energetic, fun-loving, affectionate people. They are free-spirited and independent so don’t try controlling them-it won’t work. They will run from you! Funny thing is-they are controlling themselves! Most Sagittarius men love women and may have a flock of them or just be in serial monogamous relationships. The women are free-spirited and get attached; if she does, it's nothing for her to walk out on a relationship that doesn't benefit her. Sagittarius people are open to new ideas, they enjoy good, in-depth conversations about life...the birds...the bees lol…you can talk to them about anything. They are very generous and everything is done in abundance. If they’re in love with you they will make sure you don’t ever want for nothing. They are family-oriented and loyal people as well. They can be very rude and blunt- they have sharp tongues but are no match for their opposite-the Gemini ;-). Sagittarius people can be very charming. If they were ever in love with you, they will never forget you (especially their first love), and may never get over you even 15 girlfriends or years down the line.
Most Compatible with: Aries, Leos, Libra, Aquarius
Least Compatible: Pisces, Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn
Opposite: Gemini
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19)
Feminine. Earth. Cardinal.
Very private people. Very quiet and observant. You never really know what a Capricorn is thinking. They may appear dumb and blind but it’s just an act. They will play a sucker to catch a sucker. They are like chess players-very strategic when it comes to something that they want. They are opportunists. Capricorns are very reserved but also hard-working, dedicated people. Some rely heavily on morals and have no tolerance for slackness. They always look out for those closest to them. They have a hard exterior but they are soft and mushy on the inside. They are not usually that successful in relationships but they can maintain one for a very long time. A Cap will do just about anything for their lover. Most Capricorns like to dominate and take control on a relationship, especially in the bedroom. They love sex but a female Cap is not going for the hit-and-run crap. Also, don't ever betray a Cap, they will hardly ever forgive you-in life! They hold grudges for a long time. They are over-thinkers so they don’t forget a thing. Capricorns are also very materialistic which is why they get along well with the Taurus. They dress well, are adorned with jewels or makeup or some the finest things. Even their homes are up to par. These people seem boring to the active signs who like to be on-the-go, but they are usually very stable people to settle down and have a comfortable life with.
Most Compatible with: Taurus, Scorpio, Pisces, Virgo
Least Compatible with: Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, and Libra
Opposite: Cancer
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Air. Maculine. Fixed.
Okay, even though most Aquarians are against commitment, they can still be in meaningful, long-lasting relationships. They ARE capable of Loving. Aquarius people need lots of freedom to roam so they need to be with a person who is going to allow them to be free. They are very independent people so they do not mind being alone.They get tired of people quickly. The best way to hold their attention is to switch up and be just as spontaneous and fun as them. Also, don’t nag them-they will hate you for it. They are good providers and love family but can’t feel tied down. However, the women don't mind being domestic. Aquarians are very social and have to be in contact with lots of people. Even though they are friendly with just about everyone (too friendly), they have very few close friends. The personality of an Aquarius is very unpredictable so when they get into one of their moods where they don’t want to bothered, you just have to let them be. They can be cold, unemotional and detached. If you’re a person who needs to be the center of attention all the time or you’re just clingy, Aquarius is not the match for you. They stand out from the rest because they posess a trait from each zodiac sign. They have a different sense of style and like to do things their way-they are creative and innovative. They're also very annoying at times(in a playful way) and get annoyed easily too, which is why I don’t see why they would want to annoy anyone. They also can't hold water-they don't know when it's time to shut up sometimes lol. You will get a lot of good laughs from them though. They love mental games and do things just for the thrill of it!
Most Compatible with: Gemini, Libra, Aries, Sagittarius
Least Compatible with: Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn
Opposite: Leo
PISCES (February 19 –March 20)
Water. Feminine. Mutable.
Well everyone knows about them. Two words: Big Baby. When things don’t go their way they have a fit. They are confusing. They can dish it but can’t take it. They are very rude but their feelings hurt very easily. They are touched by every little thing. You have to sometimes walk on eggshells with them which is too much responsibility for a fire or air sign.These people are moody and flip-floppy, like fish. Like Libras, some come off as self-confident but lack self-esteem sometimes. You have to constantly compliment them and tell them how good they are in this and that. They need approval from others. On the flipside, they are usually happy-go-lucky people. Pisces are the go-with-the-flow type of people. They are kind-hearted and sympathetic individuals so you can always share your problems with them and they will not judge. They also have great instincts and can see through any person or situation. They are sharp so there is no bs'ing them either. They are caring and fall in love easily-but they can’t be tied down. They seem to like mysterious or untouchable people that aren’t as easy to keep. They are natural Romantics who aim to please. If a Pisces loves you, you can get anything you want from them-and they’re cheap.
Most Compatible with: Cancer, Taurus, Scorpio, Capricorn
Least Compatible with: Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Aries
