I will also bump up AcousticGod's thread for Newbies so you can read that.

When you've learned the basics, and have questions, there are many wonderful people here willing to help out.

Sorry, there is no such thing. Dont kid yourself anymore.

As long as you continue to look for your "soul mate", "twin ray" in another, you will continue to be disappointed.

It all comes down to you and the work you do on yourself. When you really no longer "need it", it's there so to speak.

It's up to you. Not astrology or online quizzes.

Just my humble experience.

If there *were* such a reliable test, wouldn't it be known world-wide

Just to play the Devil's Advocate:

If there was really a "god" wouldn't it (or he/her/whatever) be known (or perhaps i might say "understood") world-wide?

If astrology really worked, wouldn't it be known (or should I say accepted) worldwide?

If I'm as great as I think I am , shouldn't I be known world-wide?

If life is always about rosy, happy, vegetarian, crystal hugging, St. Germaine worshiping, New Age hippy freakoids, then shouldn't we all be living in a "Shiny Happy Place" by now?

I know the above may come across as pretty harsh sounding, but, the actual point I might be trying to make is that sometimes the net affect (for better of for worse) of the choices you make in your life can only be determined truthfully after the passage of time,
and if you can't listen to your own inner voice, and make your own decisions based on that voice, then you will be doomed to always wondering what could've been.

Perhaps the timing of the choices you make really does affect your life,( i tend to believe that much myself,that's what fuels my interest in astrology) but the only truly reliable guage is listening to your own inner voice.

Blahbedy , Blahbedy Blah, Blah Blah Blah Blah..( nothing I say really matters

In my experience, soul mates exist...but you already know there's a connection. You can look to astrology to find out the whys, possibly, but if you're not sure, chances are they aren't "the one" no matter what astrology tells you.

I have a friend who wanted to date me years back, but I didn't feel that it was meant to be a romantic relationship. However, we have almost perfect synastry (comparing 2 charts to see if you're compatible). I've never regretted it.

What 26th and Zala are telling you is that you're starting from the top down. The first thing to do is to focus on your own growth...then you will tend to attract those people that you have a spiritual connection with, aka soulmates.

I have had some experiences with people that others say are miracles. Some astrology would tell me that we weren't soul mates, while others say we are. It is a matter of opinion, so what Zala said...that there can't be one surefire method, is correct. YOU will know when you meet those people. (Yes, there are more than one.)

With all of that said, I still recommend that you start with some basic lessons. Read some of Linda Goodman's books and find the thread on here that lists all of the astrology sites. Read the posts here. You'll learn more than you can imagine!

In terms of a book that you can start with for self growth...try Richard Bach's "Illusions" or Dan Millman's "Way of the Peaceful Warrior."

I met mine and i knew right away - later i went searching astrological "clues" that could explain the unepected and the unexplainable..it was the final confirmation...it´s a matter of time and growth as 8Moon and 26Taurus said.
