strive Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Hi everyone. I've been reading here for a few months before actually creating an account and it's been a great help in helping me cope. This is my first post here because I'm not brave enough to post my story here yet (I hope someday I can!), so I want to start with a light question. Do any of you believe/follow astrology? I'm an avid follower of astrology, but not to the extent that I look up my horoscope on a daily basis or that I believe them 100%. I just use them to guide me on how my year would be like or what my month's outlook is. (Actually, my annual horoscope predicted my bu to the exact month so now I tend to pay more attention to it...) Anyway, I'm a Cancer and my ex is an Aries. WORST possible combination, but we were able to make it to 11 years before everything imploded. While our signs weren't the biggest culprit in the bu, I kind of felt like it was still part of the problem with our core personalities being the primary Fire and Water signs. And that it was brewing underneath all of the problems that contributed to the break. So how about you guys? Were you and your exes compatible according to the cosmos or not?
Author strive Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Not a follower of astrology, but I'm a Virgo. I meet plenty of people who don't conform to the personality traits of their givenm star sign and quite honestly, I'd be using it as the absolute last criteria on assessing a potential mate. Yeah I think there are a lot of people who don't act like their signs. I guess I'm just trying to convince myself that our signs weren't meant to be that's why I got dumped. :/
Author strive Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 I'll try thanks! My outlook for next year is actually kind of good, so I hope I can enjoy it without this year's baggage. And yeah, you do that. Maybe you guys are compatible *\o/*
Author strive Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 im Scorpio and my ex is Leo Ouch, another fire and ice.
aybc123 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Im Aries and ex is Leo, but i dont buy into star sign stuff. I semi buy into the myers-briggs personality stuff though. When i had to do it for work i was ISTP and it seemed quite accurate, and my ex is ENFJ, so i guess opposites attract. I actually thought this stuff was rubbish too until i thought about it some more and realised all 3 of my significant relationships (1+ year, loved them etc) were with ENFJ's or at least ExFJ's. Guess i have a type..
h0000 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Ouch, another fire and ice. lol what is that supposed to mean?
Author strive Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 I had to research that and took an internet meme test (dunno if it's accurate though lol). Apparently I'm an INFJ but I have no way of knowing what my ex is. I wonder if I have a type...
Author strive Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 lol what is that supposed to mean? You're a scorpio (water) and he's a leo (fire). I guess like me and my ex, we're fire and ice when we fight, LOL. But maybe it's different for you guys.
HorseLuck Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I'm a taurus he was a Virgo. We were deemed compatible. Things worked for awhile.. You're an INFJ? me too.
Phoe Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I paid no attention to the signs of my exes, and actually do not care to look it up in the slightest (indeed I have no f*cks to give about my past relationships, heh). BUT - I recently ended an emotional affair with my childhood best friend. I am a Taurus and he is Capricorn. One night about a month ago we were on the phone late at night for about 3 hours, just laying in bed. Chatting, and other times just enjoying the silence between us. At one point, for whatever reason, zodiac signs came up. I googled our signs and was amused to tell him what I found. Apparently Taurus and Capricorn are an incredible match. Neither of us were surprised in the slightest.
HorseLuck Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I'm a taurus he was a Virgo. We were deemed compatible. Things worked for awhile.. You're an INFJ? me too. Strive, that would make us both earth signs right? Somehow I think that also messed us up. haha It's fun to consider in theory.
melell Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I am really curious about this. Because I am not a believer, but maybe you could answer some of my questions. I have had a natal chart done using exact birth time. I am a virgo sun, libra ascendant, and aqua moon. But so many of the 'aspects' in my chart make no sense. And synastry charts I have seen make no sense either. I am curious, because these points have put me off, maybe you can explain? - I have heard astrology is crazy ancient, like 3 millenniums before Christ or something. Doesn't the earths axis move yearly/all the time and has forever? - I was confused because it seems like it suggests the planets revolve around the earth and not the sun? My thoughts are that the only significant evidence for any truth to astrology is from individual testimony (us agreeing with what our charts say), so from a scientific perspective it fails?

Aww too bad it didn't work out. Yeah you're both earth signs and really really compatible. Maybe you'll find another earth sign someday! And yeah, I'm an INFJ too, but I have no idea how that affects me. Maybe I should look into that...lol!
jlola Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I am Libra and my guy a Taurus. Very loyal but boy is he bullheaded!
Shepp Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Now I'm not the kind of guy who buys into stuff like this, even star signs I want to be like 'oh it's a load of rubbish' but facts are facts and I can't can't deny that I'm a total Taurus - Dependable, loyal and stubbon, stubbon, stubbon. It's an odd one cause there's a part of that wants to be like oh it's just a coincidence, but it happens a lot with people. My girlfriends Aries and there is a of that that fits her: adventurous, enthusiastic, magnetic, moody. All words that could easily be used about her. I dunno about compatibility...just googled it, It sounds fairly good providing we "know how to compromise and keep it fun" Strange again because All Aries people need a rock in their life, someone to turn to when the going gets tough. All Taurus people need a firecracker in their life to turn up the heat a little Would probably be the easiest way I could describe to folk why me and her get on so well. Like I say it's odd, not the kind of thing I normally believe but there's got to be something in it, it's right to frequently to be coincidence

My thoughts are that the only significant evidence for any truth to astrology is from individual testimony (us agreeing with what our charts say), so from a scientific perspective it fails? Wow I think you know more about this than I do, I've not even had my natal chart done since I don't know my exact time of birth. I'm not even sure how they do these planetary readings, but for some of the planets it takes years and years before they are part of a reading (take for example Pluto, which takes 12 and 31 years to pass through a sign--and it's ongoing now and I'm guessing it's influencing some of the breakups that's been happening lately). I actually agree with you that from a scientific perspective it has no basis whatsoever, but while the readings aren't 100% accurate there's too much coincidence happening so I don't ignore it. So I guess yeah, it's really just a matter of whether we want to believe in it or not. Hmm, I guess I didn't actually answer anything...because I don't know the answer to those myself lol. 2
Author strive Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 I am Libra and my guy a Taurus. Very loyal but boy is he bullheaded! Lol sounds lik a taurus alright. But since you're a libra you're supposed to be flexible so I guess it all works out!

I guess that while not ALL attributes of the sign fit us, most of it do. "know how to compromise and keep it fun" -- I think that's a sound advice 1
I-Love-Liberty Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Aquarius. I'm such an Aquarius too, I read other signs sometimes and none of them fit me. I get along well with fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sag.
Zoe Lilith Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I am a taurus, and my ex is caprcorn..even a fortune teller on the street said that we are "meant to be and that we are also going to have a chlid next year, as this relationship is God sent"..lol...I do not believe in fortune telling, since I believe that only God knows what's going to happen in our lives. I also don't want to have anything to do with that cappy man..I got over it sooner than thought I would, and I feel great. There is no chance that I would reconcile and try it again. Thanks to his "cappy stubborness", everything is fine the way it is....Otherwise, we would have been "dragging" ths so-called "relationship" for who knows how long..
Mario79 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 My ex is a Capricorn and Im a Virgo, I think that meant we were compatible. But I had a prior ex that was from 27th of Feb which I think means she was a pisces, and it was a lot fighting. I cant believe in that stuff anymore.
