Love - As Told By The Stars

I'm one of those people who usually checks my horoscope. If it's good, I'm all for it. If it's bad, I'm like, well, that stuff's fake anyway! LOL! So, I decided to try something called an Astro-Match. It seemed funny to plug in my sign with the signs of people from my past and see what it says. Maybe it'll shed some light on why my personal life has been ridiculously disappointing...

Well, a lot of that stuff is true, but I'm definitely not narrow-minded, snobbish, or rigid. At least not to my knowledge.

Okay, well, in the past I have dated, messed with, been with, etc., etc., with a Scorpio, a Cancer, a Leo, a Gemini, and a couple of Libras and a couple Tauruses (I must really like those two). So here's the breakdown according to horoscope.com:

Virgo & Libra

Wizard Says:

Libra sees the big picture but tends to forget the important details. Virgo is good at filling in the missing pieces. Together, there are lots of things to talk about, and plenty of activity.

Work:

Libra can be very patient with co-workers, which will be useful when working with Virgo, who is striving for perfection. Virgo is always fully committed to the task at hand, and Libras will be impressed with this dedication and single-minded focus, while Virgo will admire Libra’s negotiating skills.

Friendship:

Although Libra and Virgo can respect each other from a reasonable distance at work, they are unlikely to ever form a close friendship. Libra finds Virgo far too narrow in their range of interests, and Virgo is likely to see Libra as lacking in direction and perhaps a little vain.

Love:

Romance can easily spring up between Virgo and Libra. Libras are renowned for their attention to their appearance, and Virgo loves any evidence of careful attention to detail. However, once the relationship gets beyond the getting-to-know-you phase, it will require a huge amount of compromise, perhaps too much, for this relationship to succeed.

Virgo & Taurus

Wizard Says:

At times, you may be unbearably frustrated by your partner's stubbornness. On the other hand, you appreciate each other's practicality, and there is a definite physical attraction as well.

Work:

Taurus and Virgo make an excellent work partnership, especially if they are working at the same level in an organization. Taurus appreciates Virgo’s love of perfection and order. Similarly, Virgo is very impressed with Taurus’ ability to take a problem and turn it into a series of practical steps.

Friendship:

If Taurus and Virgo make friends, it is likely to be a relationship that will last through thick and thin. Very often, both Taurus and Virgo can feel a little marginalized, as neither sign is especially outgoing. They understand what makes the other tick and offer wonderful emotional support.

Love:

Although Taurus and Virgo make wonderful friendships with each other, there may be something lacking when it comes to the next level in a relationship. Like most people, both Taurus and Virgo are excited by their opposites. Taurus is rather too sensual for Virgo’s liking, while in a romantic relationship, Taurus may find that Virgo is too emotionally reserved.

Virgo & Scorpio

Wizard Says:

You're both inclined to indulge your own mood swings. Don't expect any intuitive understanding here. If you care about the relationship, you'll need to talk things through.

Work:

This is almost an ideal working relationship, as both Virgo and Scorpio are capable of devoting themselves with absolute commitment to the task at hand. A Scorpio boss will be able to rely on Virgo, while a Virgo manager will instantly recognize Scorpio’s ability to follow a project to completion. However, there can be tensions when it comes to setting priorities in relation to a project.

Friendship:

Scorpio and Virgo can become firm friends, although it tends to take quite a while for them to achieve a position of mutual trust. Scorpio’s intuitive nature means that they are acutely aware of Virgo’s ability to be critical. At the same time, Virgo can see in Scorpio a capacity to hold a grudge secretly for some time. These insights mean that any relationship will take time to develop fully.

Love:

A romantic relationship between Virgo and Scorpio is quite unusual. They have mutual respect and, for that matter, a certain amount of mutual suspicion. What tends not to be present between Virgo and Scorpio is any kind of physical attraction. Scorpio finds Virgo too cold to be romantically appealing, and Virgo sees Scorpio as too emotionally controlling to provoke their romantic interest.

Virgo & Leo

Wizard Says:

You may be tempted to just relax and let Leo's powerful personality take over the relationship. Don't! You'll both be happier when there's an equal amount of give and take.

Work:

This relationship is not an easy one to manage for either sign. Virgo is a perfectionist who hates to be dominated, while Leo finds it difficult to listen to differing points of view and has a reputation for being impatient. This relationship can work if Leo and Virgo can give each other the space to concentrate on their own area of expertise.

Friendship:

Leo loves nothing more than to be at the center of attention in a busy social setting, while Virgo is happiest when engaged in quiet conversation with a few close and trusted friends. These two signs are unlikely ever to be firm friends, even though they could both learn a lot from each other.

Love:

Surprisingly, this is a relationship that can work extremely well. While Leo will appreciate Virgo’s ability to create the perfect domestic environment, Virgo is quietly impressed with Leo’s social confidence that introduces the shy Virgo to a new circle of friends. This relationship will continue to confuse those around this couple, but it is likely to last for life!

Virgo & Gemini

Wizard Says:

Both of you can be judgmental at times. As long as you judge the world and not each other, you'll get along perfectly.

Work:

Virgo will be very happy to let Gemini be the dominant figure in any working relationship, and that will work just fine for Gemini. Gemini’s ideas can be carefully checked and implemented by Virgo. However, if Virgo is the manager, there may be something of a power struggle.

Friendship:

In general terms, Gemini and Virgo are not compatible. Gemini tires of Virgo’s need for order and love of common-sense approaches to the world. At the same time, Virgo dislikes the superficiality of Gemini and their love of gossip. This friendship is unlikely to run smoothly for any length of time.

Love:

Emotionally, Virgo can offer a great deal of support to Gemini, who finds it difficult to recognize and discuss any weaknesses. However, Virgo will be increasingly resentful of Gemini’s unwillingness to return that consideration. Gemini’s good humor may soften things, but this is a tricky relationship nonetheless.

Virgo & Cancer

Wizard Says:

You may feel that you're giving too much. Or are you trying to control too much? Sharing your worries with each other helps you overcome them.

Work:

As co-workers, Cancer and Virgo can work extremely well together. However, they will both benefit from the presence of a manager with plenty of Fire energy to ensure that deadlines are met. Neither sign would make a good manager of the other, as both need strong leadership.

Friendship:

This is an ideal pairing for a friendship. Both Cancer and Virgo yearn for emotional support and a sense of understanding. Each sign is able to provide the other with the sounding board that they need to feel the confidence to go forward in their lives to achieve their goals.

Love:

While this is not a relationship that will burn with a passionate flame, it may well be a long-term relationship that gives both Cancer and Virgo what they really need in a romance – security and contentment. Virgo may become frustrated by Cancer’s need for reassurance, while Cancer will tire of Virgo’s potential to be emotionally demanding. However, there is enough mutual understanding to make this work.

Interesting! Maybe I should stop neglecting the winter months when I'm thinking of prospective dating options. LOL. Now that I've been looking at this, I've only ever been out with guys born between April and October. I never realized that before. I wonder what it is about those guys that attracts me to them. Something to ponder!
