Aries Men: I haven’t dated one in quite some time but I know that we acted childish towards each other in public. Seriously – hair and ear pulling, name calling, hitting, wrestling – all playful of course. Then in private we are perfect angels to each other, very sweet. I think this is because I have Mars in the 5th, would explain the “childish” behavior.

Taurus Men: I haven’t even made it to a first date with a Taurus. I talked to two different Taurus men online a few years ago, we exchanged numbers and then…nothing, no chemistry, no sizzle even over the phone.

ETA: One even accused me of not calling him (long distance) to save money and to make him spend his – Leo says “YIKES!”

Gemini Men: I have Mars in Gemini in the 5th house. Honestly, I don’t think that means anything. Maybe because I have Mars opposed Neptune in the 11th? I don’t know. I dated two and we had lots and lots to talk about and so much in common however, when it came down to a physical relationship we were a fizzle. Better off friends.

ETA: I don’t know if this is a Gemini thing but with one of the guys, we used to “get physical” in his car a lot, even though he had an apartment. Now that I think about it Gemini does rule transportation…

Cancer Men: I haven’t dated or talked to any Cancer men…Well actually, when I did the online dating thing one wrote me and I wasn’t attracted to what he wrote in his profile or his pic so I sent him a generic “Sorry, not interested” message and he started an argument with me about it. One sided though, I refused to answer rants from people I don’t know.

Leo Men: Ahhh, other Leos…So amazing in so many ways. Must be the Leo ruled 7th house, Sun in Leo in the 7th and Mars in the 5th house. I dated two and we could talk, enjoy each other’s sense of humor and physically it is a dream. I spent wonderful weekends in bed with both Leos (at different times of course) – eating, talking, other stuff. Unfortunately we were young and the relationships went nowhere…

ETA: I remember where they went – one of them lived too far away for us to keep up our thing (sadly, I was in NY he was in DC and this was pre-“good job”) and the other was a cheater and I was the cheatee and didn’t know it FOR ALMOST A YEAR! So much for the happy memories! Still good feelings at the time though, I have to do research on a new Leo.

Virgo Men: Good friends actually. We both have that sarcastic wit thing going on. I fell for one big time, we started talking but then he told me that I was too tall and it made him insecure (I actually was quite a bit taller than him). Sadly, our friendship ended because he was embarrassed about being so open. Oh well.

ETA: I was pretty upset at the time though because he led me on and since I was young I had a little bout of depression after that. Good thing Capricorn was there to pull me out of that…

Libra Men: I haven’t really met too many Libra men. I know, that is weird but it’s true.

ETA: One of my friends dated a Libra for over four years and he was straight up cruel to her. He tried to rule her life and dumped her when she didn’t match his ideal. He married his "ideal" soon after.

Scorpio Men: HELP!!! S.O.S.!!! Noooooo! I should have known we wouldn’t be a good romantic match because I used to argue with my Scorpio guy friends as if we were an old married couple! Alas, I took a chance and dated one. He played way too many games - would withhold affection, ignore me, cry – everything a Leo hates and would not put up with. I did it for too long, I guess it was about the drama and surely not the sex which, according to the “Scorpio Male” reputation, was waaayyyy overrated.

ETA: He was truly brilliant though and successful in his work (technology) even though he sucked at his personal life. The big brain, that was the clincher for me. I can also see how the sex could be good for some, I am just prefer more sensual along with the sexual and not just purely sexual (That is why I like Leo and Capricorn men, the foreplay lasts for days).

Sagittarius Men: Like Libra men, where are they? I did have a Sag boss once and he was cool but, he did this thing where he would say something jerk-y just before leaving the room. Smart move because he wouldn’t want to argue with me, yet it was a punk-ish move so he lost some respect. He had an awesome sense of humor though…

ETA: HELLO – writing my skydiving comment in another thread reminded me: I worked with one very briefly a few years ago and I think he had a crush on me but he never made a move (I quit before it would make sense to though). He was cute, blonde and blue. I remember we had a conversation about astrology and he was highly skeptical. I said something about how him going skydiving (he had a sticker on his bumper for a well known place) is highly Sag-like and he said “I only went once!” we laughed about that, I said “All it takes is once!”

Capricorn Men: These guys usually aggressively chase after me. I have had three who have aggressively pursued me and that is more than any other sign. They were all very handsome, attentive and dependable - they would call every night even if they were dog tired and even though they were solid, dependable types they were very affectionate. They would also be very naughty. I didn’t think they were like that then I thought “Howard Stern is a Capricorn…” I didn’t think Caps would be attracted to me but, in Linda Goodman’s Love Signs, it explained that Leo is in Cap’s 8th house, representing sexual mystery…

ETA: They are so hot and sexy but…they were boring. It is funny how we gloss over things when we think back. I actually broke it off with two of the three because of the sheer boredom. I used to like to go crazy back then though, and live for the weekends. I think now I’d like to spend some quality time with them.

Aquarius Men: Haven’t really gotten along with them, not as friends or lovers, merely acquaintances.

Pisces Men: Another “really good friends” sign, we get on better than I do with Virgos actually. Probably because of my 11th house Neptune. They are way too sensitive for me to date though. I haven’t ever been approached by any either. One of my Pisces guy friends cried in a bar (!) to get female sympathy. Yikes. It worked – he ended up going home with my Virgo friend!

THEORY (open to interpretation): I need a Leo with a Capricorn rising or a Capricorn with a Leo Rising...maybe Aries in there somewhere...

ARIES: Oh man I had a turbulent, mutual-sparks thing with an Aries in high school. I just thought he was so adorable and sexy, loved his smell, his face, his voice, him. He thought I was gorgeous. I would make him jealous, which was very very satisfying and caused terrible problems for me when I became a grown woman and mistook Scorpio jealousy for teen Aries jealousy. The teen Aries gets turned on that the other guys want you, and he chases you, and he WINS, and it's all foreplay. The adult Scorpio...well, you can guess the rest of the story.

TAURUS: Had a dear Taurus friend who was in love with me, but I did not reciprocate. Must be my Cappy Rising? Now that I am lonely I think back on that often and wonder why I wasn't into him. I think that now I would be. He was very cool, nice, down to earth and a cutie. I guess my heart was just really with the Libra.

GEMINI: One of my mutual but never consummated Grand Passions was with a GEm...it felt like a soul mate connection. I also had a very nice on-off sexual/romantic friendship with a Gem for a few years, and the first man I was with after ending my 14-year relationship with the Libra was a Gem...I feel like Leo-Gemini is a really nice combination. They always check in with me, aren't put off by my personality, and love to talk all night as much as I do. They instinctively seem to respond in the right way.

CANCER: Despite my Cancer stellium in the 7th, I am intensely unattracted to these watery men.

LEO: I hope someday I fall in love with another Leo! I've had wonderful, deep, crushy friendships with some, but never real romance. I feel very warmly toward these guys.

VIRGO: I had a Virgo friend who said he was in love with me and wanted to marry me, but I felt like he only felt that way because I was unavailable at the time. I think these earth guys are attracted to my ASC, and there's not as much connection with the real me.

LIBRA: My two longest-term relationships have been with Libras. They are really good at following my lead, making things pretty, appeasing me, and treating me in a princess-y way. The relationships both turned sort of traditional, though--I want my next relationship to be a more spark-filled, adventurous, partner-in-crime type thing, maybe with a Sag.

SCORPIO: Uuuugh. Never into these guys until the past few years, although I had an older Scorp boyfriend when I was 15 (I just wasn't that into him, he was very good looking but not enough originality or intellectual spark)...then I fell for a Scorpio after my breakup with the Libra, and he rejected, and it was AWFUL. Now I'm attracted to ANOTHER Scorpio, this one with a Sag moon though at least. We spar.

SAG: Never had a real friendship/romance with a Sag--where are these guys?! I am a Leo and I have a draconic solar stellium in Sag and my NN in Sag...I am ready to be swept off my feet, archers!!

CAPRICORN: This has happened three times!! Successful, famous, cute, cool Capricorn and I meet at a party. He usually is Libra rising. We think the other is wonderful and we are both attracted and smitten. We hang out a little, and before we even hook up, Cappie is brutally disappointed because it turns out that, despite my appearance (Cap Rising, Leo hair), I am a strange, funny, world-travelling, occult-loving weirdo who hates social conventions, does not want a traditional marriage or house in the suburbs, and would rather really be true to my art than be commercially successful or practical. I end up brutally disappointed that Cappie--even with that brilliance and great sense of humor!!--is soooo secretly conventional. How can anyone that bright be so conventional?

AQUA: No real relationships with these. An ill-fated thing with one in college, another situation where I think his interest was sparked by my lack of availability.

ARIES:
male-married one. A violent and terrible match. He was waaaaaay to controlling. He wanted to know what I was thinking every dang second, or so it seemed.
Very bad break up.
Females-some of BFF's. Fun, go, go, go and non stop chat fests. Love me some aries chicks.

TAURUS:
male-no experience.
females-had two taurus girlfriends, they both slept with my man behind my back. Don't know any now. lol. (no offense anyone)

GEMINI:
no experience.

CANCER:
no experience, except family.

LEO:
same as cancer.

VIRGO:
Males-have been very important in my life. I fall hard for their witty, quirky ways. They usually fall for me back, but then get scared and run away. Then six months later blow up my phone.
Also alot of family in this sign, both sexes.

LIBRA:
No experience.

SCORPIO:
lots of experience there. A great affinity. A great fondness, deep, deep love. I love them because they are loyal, they may cheat on you, but they will come back, and they will never let anyone hurt you or bad mouth you in their presense. The great lovers IMHO.

SAGITTARIUS:
males-some minor high school stuff, but, too much for me.
Females- love them! Have some of the best times in life with them, and I love how you never have to watch what you say, or walk on egg shells, you can just be yourself.

CAPRICORN:
males-married one and had 3 babies with him. Honestly, I still can't decipher his feelings after knowing him for 24 years! He is a cheater too, though, but he also loves his home.
females-one girlfriend, I love her, she cuts right to the chase, no sugar coating. We can talk about anything, she's very open to all subjects. But she's not too keen on showing her feelings either. Its taken me over ten years to get to really know her. A true, blue friend, that one.

AQUARIUS:
males-no experience.
females- again, some of my besties. love them.

PISCES:
males-one experience that I do not care to think about. Honestly, he was a barracuda, he sunk lower than low to hurt me. Very vengeful. Then again, six months later with phone calls! I'm like, NO WAY!
females-family experience only.

Oh yeah, and out here in Western Mass (Amherst/Northampton) it's basically nothing but rugged nature and clean air. And colleges. Saggies loves the wisdom!

And DowntoMars, maybe I should move to NYC and MEET some Leos? There is a sad and sorry lack of them in my life. They're allegedly the sign I'm most generally compatible with (I'm an Aries) and also my Eros is in Leo, so. Bring 'em on!

ARIES
No experience with the men. My stepdad is one, great guy but LOUD. Can't do loud. Most of the Aries men I know are loud.

I have one female friend who is the best. I love her energy and action, nothing is ever too much trouble and no distance too far. I feel we get a lot out of being friends as we balance each other out. She says she's quieter when she's with me and says she needs that (I'm a Libra).

TAURUS
I lived with one for 5 years. The gentlest soul and one of the most decent people I have ever been out with. We never ever argued. Great cook, great photographer. But I was bored out of my skull. And he was not physically affectionate, despite the Taurean reputation for liking to touch and be touched. This bothered me.

GEMINI
I went out with one for 2 years. He was the most fun. We went everywhere. Talked about everything, laughed about everything. Unfortunately he turned out to be gay, but it didn't hurt for long. I just wanted what was best for him and still do. Marvellous person. Funny? I'm surprised I didn't get a hernia.

I was also in love with a Dutch Gemini guy who was much the same. A talker. It was, I think, reciprocated, but he was a "girl collector" and just wanted everybody to love him. Carrot and stick stuff, swiping the carrot away at the last minute. Childish and no appreciation of the depth of people's emotions. A very negative expression of Gemini. I ended up sending him a sh!t-o-gram telling him I knew what his game was. Never heard from him again.

No experience with the women.

CANCER
No experience with either sex.

LEO
Have had more encounters with Leo men than any other. My first love was a Leo. The best kind. I adored him and sort of still do, 18 years later. Confident, with good reason. The other most significant was one I lived with for 3 years (split up last year). Controlling, "my way or the highway", prideful (his pride was set on a hair trigger, very quick to take offence). He had his nice moments though, and could be incredibly supportive.

VIRGO
No experience of dating one, but I love them, the women and the men. They are incredibly funny, in a more wry way than Gemini or Sag wit, and a sense of comic timing and storytelling - all of them. Nick Cave is a Virgo. I think he's hilarious.

LIBRA
Only dated one, for a short while (circumstances were not ideal). He was Number 2 of my three big loves. It was like coming home. Instant recognition. We were so much like each other it felt like incest.

The women are great too. I don't have a "flesh and blood" Libra woman friend, but a good proportion of the women I like on here are Librans.

SCORPIO
My first boyfriend was a Scorp. Very intense. Played jealousy games to get me to sleep with him. I was not going to be rushed and I baulked at being manipulated (I saved myself for the beautiful Leo - best move of my life). He played one too many games and I dumped him. We're still in contact 19 years later. He initiated the contact and still does. You can't lose a Scorp, this is true. He's a fabulous person and loyal but Scorps kind of scare me. He's getting married next year. His lady is a lucky one.

Scorp women. They scare me too. Don't try to be friends with a Scorpio woman's boyfriend, even if you were friends with him before she came along - they don't appreciate it.

SAGITTARIUS
Lived with one for 2 years. Everything was a joke to him and after a while I didn't find it funny. Most of the people I work with are Sags. I do love them though they annoy me. I think my relationships with Sags can best be described as "fraternal" even if they are women.

CAPRICORN
Never dated any men.

Women - I love Cappy women to bits. I just think they are awesome. They're so blinking clever.

AQUARIUS
Had a 3 year fling with one in college. He'd just come round my house and tap on my window at 3am. We'd do the dirty, have a right laugh, eat toast and then he'd leave. In public we would ignore each other completely. This was fine with me. My DC is ruled by Aqua (most of it is Pisces though). I can see right through them and know their ways. They hold no allure or mystery for me, but I like them a lot. I have observed that Aqua men are great leaders.

The women are great. They are sparky and I have mistaken them repeatedly for Fire signs.

PISCES
I'm dating a Pisces now. Never even met one before him, to my knowledge. Now I can spot them a mile away. Big Love Number 3. They are weird fish though, and I find him mysterious, gentle, deep, compassionate, and slightly annoying because he lacks awareness of the practicalities of the real world (i.e. my world): e.g we planned to go camping last Thursday. He turned up at my workplace on Wednesday evening saying:

"Let's go then" (ie, right now, from work).

For four days. And I'm like
"I haven't packed! I have no clothes with me, no food, no contact lenses, no money, I've had a shitter of a week, I'm looking forward to a night in watching a chick flick on my own and I'm wearing heels. And anyway, we said Thursday"
And he's like "Oh. Right. Well let's just go, I'm here now, I came all the way into town to get you".

I didn't know he was coming. He has a Pisces Mars too. Never underestimate the power of a Pisces Mars. They just grind you down and brook no opposition. Unbelievable.
Unfortunately for him my Mars is in Taurus and I will be rushed nowhere by no man, especially not without my fluffy poncho, my cheese, my cake and my new bikini that cost £50 which was bought for the occasion. (I once ended up in a sauna wearing his clothes because I gave in to this sort of nonsense. No more!)

(PS we went Thursday, as planned, the man needs to be told what's who sometimes).

They hide their sentimentality well. This one either talks a mile a minute or not at all. It's been 11 months and I still find him an enigma.

Aries man: Good clean fun. No soul shattering experiences. Lived with him for a while and made love like crazy. Thought we were going to get married. It turned out he was a mama's boy and did only what she wanted even if it was detrimental to out relationship. (Cancer Moon and Acs.)
Aries women: We get along, I guess. Too much ego on both sides, takes a lot of patience to sustain a friendship.

Taurus man: No experience except for that one guy maybe 10 years my senior who I worked for for a bit. He was interested but didn't make any moves. I got bored.
Taurus women: One of my BFFs is a Taurus. She is ruled by her emotions. I love her dearly and miss her like crazy.

Gemini man: Very romantic. Dinner at candle light, wine, sweet talk, gifts...
Sex was OK. Didn't really connect with him.
Gemini women: We don't get each other.

Cancer man: Very, very hot. LOL. Didn't get along outside the bedroom.
Cancer women: They love me for some reason. I find them a little off.

Leo man: My greatest love. I can sense the Leos when I walk into a room - instant attraction. Nothing ever happens
Leo women: We get along fine. Nothing special. We get each other.

Virgo man: Kinky sex. We have lots to talk about and it's always interesting. Good friends.
Virgo women: I love them. They are unique and kind and a little nutty in the best possible way. Very creative bunch!

Libra man: I love you, I love you not. Rinse. Repeat. WTF?
Libra women: See Leo.

Scorpio man: Mmmmmm, mmmm, mmmmmmmmmmmm. The hottest one of them all. If I could live on sex, I wouldn't get out of bed if there is a Scorpio in there. Absolutely fantastic!
Scorpio women: Instant "recognition" which usually turns to mutual hatred as we are too similar for the wrong things. We bring out the worse in each other.

Sagittarius man: Great mental rapport. We get each other. Lousy in bed. Almost too familiar for comfort.
Sagittarius women: I love them. Wish I had more of them in my life.

Cappie men: Never really got anywhere with them. Felt like great potential at times but they are too grounded for me in general.
Cappie women: Nagging, neurotic girly girls - all Cappie women I know are like that. Have one close to me, we quarrel all the time but manage to get along.

Aquarius men: Love them! BFFs all around. We get along famously but never as more than just friends.
Aqua women: Same as Aqua men only gotta be careful not to **** them off. One of my closest friends in HS stopped talking to me after some stuff happened between us. She hasn't spoken to me since.

Aries Women: I have spent my whole life around these broads! I can call them "broads" because that is what they are - bold and brassy women! My grandmother, who is an Aries with a Pisces rising and Moon in Pisces is...lets just imagine this for a second, all of those aspects in one person, it makes for one loud, bi-polar acting lady! I have an Aries cousin who has a Leo rising and Moon - loud and proud doesn't even begin to describe her! Then another Aries cousin with a Sag rising and Moon in Aries - actually she is more subdued, but don't dare cross her.
Anyway, Aries women are fiercely loyal and I am glad to be related to so many. I actually don't know too many in the real world...

Taurus Women: Also fiercely loyal, funny and protective…that is, until a man walks by and then its every girl for herself. They seem to be the ones who made up that saying “Men come and go but friends last forever”…I believe it was to lessen the fact that they have just slept with your boyfriend/crush/best guy friend/brother, etc. and they want you to forget about it. I don’t forget these things (Aquarius rising doesn’t forget a slight from a so-called friend)…

Gemini Women: The best, best, best. Love these ladies – so funny, so friendly, so crazy-in-the-good-way. My aunt is a Gemini and she has the Sun and Mercury in her 11th – she is all about friends and acquaintances. We can’t go anywhere without her knowing at least 2 people. I have a friend who is an elementary school teacher by day and very adult “chick-lit” writer by night, dual nature to the extreme, and she is the best conversationalist…Love them.

Cancer Women: Dry witted, sensitive ladies. They have that depression streak that is hard to watch someone go through. This has been true with 3 or 4 of the Cancer women I have known.

Leo Women: When I was in high school I hated all other Leo women and they hated me and each other. Who was the center of attention? Who was the smartest? Who was the prettiest? Hmmm. Ask any one of us and we would answer “I was!” LOL. Now, I get along great with other Leo women. I have the Aqua rising & Libra moon I have learned to step back and let the people come to me, the right people usually do as opposed to when I put those feelers out there for everyone. I no longer feel the need to compete and I think the other Leo ladies have learned this trick as well.

Virgo Women: I have learned, after 2 serial best friendships, to keep them at a distance. They have great senses of humor and we can have the little dry, sarcastic cutting comments about everyone else, but it always turns on you. The ones I have known get a little jealous of the above-mentioned “feelers” so it turns them critical. Backhanded comments like, “Oh, that’s nice that he likes your smile…considering your right bicuspid is so crooked and…you haven’t been using your whitestrips lately have you? Good thing he didn’t smell the guacamole you gorged at lunch…” If you get a promotion, “I guess no one else applied…” Who needs that? One of the friends was a double Virgo, Moon in Scorpio (ouch) - imagine that!

Libra Women: They are very nice, but they aren’t too reliable. I have found this out with about 3 Libra friends. I can only keep it superficial.

Scorpio Women: They have been cool but I haven’t been able to get too close to them, even if they are/were a part of a friend group that I belonged to. They tend to hang with each other, like a secret society.

Sagittarius Women: One-up you all of the time. I have had several Sag friends and co-workers who do this. You can say “I bought a Blackberry today!” and they’ll say “I bought an iPhone last week and I am thinking of getting a Blackberry Storm tomorrow, you know, just to have it”. Even bad things: “My dog was in so much pain, we had to put him down” they’ll say “I had two dogs, both had cancer and could barely walk, we had to put them down on the same day”. Every time I see that “Penelope” character on SNL I think to myself “She is so Sag!”

Even though they do this they are still awesome friends. In fact the best friend I ever had was a Sag lady. They bring the fun. More fun than you…lol

Capricorn Women: My mom is a Cap and I think fondly of her (Moon conjunct Pluto, she has me brainwashed). These are truly down to earth ladies, very cool, they don’t give a crap about what anyone thinks. They are huge flirts, even with your man, but I let it slide because they usually have their own man. In fact I think that Cap ladies have had boyfriends since birth, I haven’t known a Cap woman without a man and if they are without one it isn’t for long.

Aquarius Women: Even though I have an Aqua rising, we rub each other the wrong way. It must be all of my squares to Uranus. They actually have thought that I was weird. It is funny but they always say what big humanitarians and liberal Aquarians are but I have met quite a few of the “Sarah Palin” variety. Fiercely loyal to conservative leanings I guess.

Pisces Women:I don’t know too many Pisces ladies but I have had a couple of co-workers who were pretty awesome. One in particular is a psychologist, the youngest in an office of bitter civil servants, and she is more mature and grounded than anyone else in the group. She speaks so slowly and calmly and is so conscious of her words, it is truly admirable since it is such a hostile work environment. She rises above it, or rather, stays below it, in the water. She is actually like my role model – me being an aspiring psychologist/sociologist - but she doesn’t know it.

Aries:
* women: I don't know very many Aries women other than myself.
* men: My first love, whom I dated for 5 years off and on, was born on April 20th. Depending on his birth time (which I don't have) he could be either Aries or Taurus. Our relationship was really dynamic and we operated completely as a unit- we were inseparable and kind of obsessed with each other. He transferred from his catholic high school to my public one just so we could be together more! We also WORKED together. Together we were troublemakers and passionate, kind of notorious in our moderately small hometown. Sex was mind blowing and totally out of control. BUT- he was born only 4 days after me in the same year, so it's hard to tell what about that is the Aries/Aries influence or just the fact that our synastry was dominated by (many, MANY) conjunctions.

Taurus:
* women: I love Taurus women! Both of the closest female friends I've had in my life were Taurus', one with a Scorpio moon and one with a Libra moon on the very cusp of Scorpio. Can't get enough of them, love these ladies. By sign they trine my Moon and are conjunct my Mercury.
* men: My relationships with Taurus men have all been short flings, our connection is mellow and great but lacking the "!!!" I need to put my all into it. Lots of hanging out at the apartment, eating take out in front of the tv & cuddling. I always enjoy it, it's always pleasant and never gets too intense.

Gemini:
*women: I've had two romantic relationships with women who were Geminis (one Gemini/Gemini, the other Gemini/Aries), neither of which ever got serious. The double Gem was a gossip, which really turned me off, and the Gem/Aries was a total free spirit who would not and could not be tied down. I remember her really fondly, though. As far as friendships go, I don't have too much experience. LOTS of Gemini in my family, though.
* men: No experience, aside from in my family.

Cancer: only family connections, with both genders.

Leo:
* women: I had a brief affair with a Leo woman (my first w/ a woman). I was young (17), off with the Aries/Taurus I mentioned above, and even though I was attracted to her and flattered by the attention, I was confused about how I felt being romantically involved with women. She was older than I was (21) and totally took control- swooped in and laid all those confusions to rest, haha. She moved on from me pretty quickly, though, without any hard feelings.
* men: I'm always attracted to Leo men, but it never gets to that point. They always seem to be involved in lots of other romances, and I never feel like competing (Mars retrograde!).

Virgo:
* women: Virgo is inconjunct my sun, so keep that in mind when I say that Virgo women always seem to get one over on me. When I lived in Oregon I was surrounded by Virgo women on all sides, all of whom seemed to be after my boyfriend at the time (who is also a Virgo) that I lived with and was hopelessly in love with. The closest female friend I had there (who I'd opened up to hardcore) was a Virgo/Cancer (to my Aries/Cap), and I walked in on her and my then-boyfriend going at it drunkenly on our couch. Yikes, yikes.

* men: will be the death of me, I swear. I just can't keep myself away from Virgo men, they're just too attractive to me. They have this quasi-feminine badass-ness about them that is exactly my type. I've known many, but the most intense relationship I had with a Virgo was the one I mentioned above- I moved across the country to be with him after a lengthy friendship suddenly turned into more. He just woke up hot one day after years of being a little brother figure to me (I'm three years older than him). He was this super hipster party boy and had lots of substance abuse problems that my Venus in Pisces idealized. We had a really intensely sexual Lilith/Eros relationship that I still haven't fully recovered from two years later.

Libra:
*women: I don't know very many Libra women, actually. The Libra female I've been closest to is a super Libra (Asc, Sun, Moon, Mercury & Mars) and I had a lot of trouble connecting with her. We hung out a lot for a while, but I felt like I couldn't get past the surface (she has a lot of 12th house). She was also really moody, but brooding about it instead of pro-active and open, which kind of scared me off.
*men: The love of my life is a Libra! I would lay down and die for this man if he asked (hyperbole!), and I'm 100% positive he'd do the same for me. We have a really solid, genuine connection unlike anything else I've ever experienced. He has his own post, even, haha. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum11/HTML/000602.html

Scorpio:
*women: I don't know very many Scorpio women! Lots of Scorpio men, though.

*men: Talk about CONFLICT, oh man. Put me alone in a room with a Scorpio man and where most people would feel a mysterious sexual intrigue I just see red. Most of the Scorpio's I've known have been platonic male friends. Even though I adore them and we get along, there's still a weird brother/sister type of rivalry going on where we try to out-Mars each other. I'm not even typically Arien in that way most of the time, but Scorpio really brings it out of me- thankfully it's usually playful.

Aside from my father, the man I've had the most conflict with in my life was a (very odd) Scorpio. We were never involved sexually- he was my housemate for years when I lived in Buffalo, NY. We had almost daily confrontation. He was always leaving passive aggressive post-its all over the house, and constantly picked on my then-fiance (the Libra mentioned above) who I was fiercely protective of. As you can imagine, I was always in his face Aries-style as a result. I even suspect he may have been attracted to me underneath all the madness. We had several strange encounters when we were alone together that involved him telling me ("jokingly") he thought we should get married, touching my hair/face/hips when talking to me, etc. Honestly though, I was repulsed by him and never returned the flirtation, which might explain why he had it out so intensely for my ex. I'm not kidding you guys when I say our battles were epic. I once brought three boxes of his s**t to the Goodwill because he refused to unpack or move them out of our shared living room for 6 months. All three of us are Cap Moons, too. Yikes, yet again!

Sagittarius:
*women: Love them! I've had lots of good friendships with Sag women. Lots of adventure, lots of fun stories of wild times. I need another Sag lady in my life!

*men: I have so much Sag man experience I'm literally bursting with stories. I don't even know where to start! The connection is always immediate, we always bond quickly. Most of my serious relationships have been with men who had Sag as their Sun and/or Moon. My son's father is a Sag/Cancer. It's a really familiar energy to me, very warm and almost brotherly. As easy as it is for me to get involved with a Sag, it's hard for me to break it off because they are always fine with changing the dynamics of the relationship! "How about instead of breaking up, we just have an open relationship?," stuff like that. Gotta love Saggies, you know? I just can't stay mad at them.

Capricorn:
*women: Most of the Cap women I know are much older than me, and are always mentors. Old teachers, ex-bosses, mothers of friends- they almost always take me under their wing and I respect them endlessly.
*men: No experience! Though I'm definitely curious.

Aquarius: no experience, with either gender. Lots of Aquarius energy in my family, but nothing romantic or friendship-wise. I'd love to "try on" an Aquarius, but they are nowhere to be found.

Aries --

Men - Was friends with a few. Tend to hit it off, but they are way too arrogant, selfish, and always have to feel superior. It's good and bad in the extremes. Lots of flirting and good conversation, but too many arguments. Their tempers are too much. Both of them cheated on everyone they were with. Would not want to date one now that I am older. I couldn't deal with the fights.

Women -- I had a best friend who was an aries. She was also very self-centered and selfish. We totally clicked, though. She also cheated on everyone she was with. I really tried to stay friends, but ultimately had to walk away because she was an awful friend. She HAD to be the center of attention all the time, too, which was annoying, but I could've dealt with that if it was the only thing.

Taurus

Men --

Not a lot of experience with them. There was one I was attracted to, and he me. We had a good rapport. My AC is taurus. There was a huge attraction too. He was so unemotional though. He played a lot of games, too. Always played the "jealousy game" that I could see rigt though. Yuck, lol. I would consider dating one if I felt a spark and he was a little more emotional than a wooden beam.

Women --

I like them a lot. I guess I generally like taureans. It must be the AC/SUN connection. I worked with a taurus lady that everyone hated and thought was mean, but she and I got along great. Everyone would say, "She's so nice to you!" She knew I liked her, and they didn't, and so she was nice to me.

Gemini

Men--

No experience

Women --

My teenage BFF was a gem. We totally got one another. Same wavelength. Had our own language. She was a bit detached, but it was ok. Haven't met many since then.

Cancer--

Women --

I find they are either the nicest people or are so manipulative and mean. It just depends on the person. Some of them are plain nuts! No offense. Some are also thee nicest people ever.

Men --

I can only view them in a platonic way. Too many people in my family are cancers. They are also a bit too sensitive for me.

Leo --

Men --

Good as pals (for me). They are a little too tyrannical and old fashioned for me. Can have the biggest hearts though. I never was more than friends with one.

Women --

Total fun! Can be a bit catty, but still fun.

Virgo--

Men --

No experience.

Women --

Very persnickety. Loyal as friends. Good at advice. Usually mean well. Can be so much fun despite their dour rep. Great conversations with them. vengeful! lol.

Libra

Men-

I have dated the most from this sign. I don't know why. They make you feel like you are the only woman alive. Great conversations. Likes to debate. Do nothing for me sexually, unfortunately. ok sex. Not great, not bad. meh.

women ---

Aww. I love them.

Scorpio -

Men--

Yuck! Manipulative, jealous, controlling, scheming. Perverse. Vengeful. No. Never again. Need drama and will stand on their head to get it. Contrary to every book ever written, they are not good in bed, imo. Don't think that when they cheat, it's cheating, but think when you are with someone -- after you break up, you cheated. Weird experience I had with them. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I will not partake in the future, just in case.

Women --
Usually like them, but there is tension initially. My DC is in scorpio, so maybe it's a bit intense at first, like two betta fish in the same tank. If they are somewhat in control of their feelings, I love them. Some are at the mercy of their feelings and are the eternal victim and don't know why things don't change. They never look inside. These one's will take it out on you.

Sagittarius--

Men --

I don't know any. I met one, who wanted to date me, but he didn't do it for me. I don't even know why. No attraction there for him. Good as friends for me.

Women --

Love them.

Capricorn --

Men

A lot of chemistry. Very sensual. Would date one again.

Women --

No experience.

Aquarius --

men --
No experience.

Women --

I knew one. We were coworkers. There was something not right with her, but I think it was more her life, and not her sign. We got along, but she was a scary girl. Like, would be violent. I like most aquas I converse with online a lot. She was the only one I met in person, so I don't know how much stock I put in that.

Pisces -

Men -

No experience

Women -

Really good friends with one when I was younger. She was cool. Worked with two that were awful. Gossipy, manipulative....I like to think they were aberrations of the sign until I meet more to balance out the 1:2 ratio experience I had.

I want to say, generally I think you can't go by sun signs alone. If a pattern shows up with me and a particular sign, I tend to think it's more telling. Usually, if I don't like a sign, their sun, and therefore, merc and usually venus, hits a sore point in my chart, like aries and scorpio does. Both of those signs fall in to houses, that for whatever reason, are bad for me.

I notice I am attracted to earth signed men a lot. I've tried to figure out why, but there are no common threads -- except the earth. I am not attracted to virgo men though. No idea why not. I'm guessing for cap, it's because they put planets in my 8th house. That's easy. For taurus men, it must be the AC...?

I have virgo intercepted, so maybe that's why I am not attracted to them.

I must need a cap/taurus/libra themed man.

Aries women: Urrrggghhhh!!!!....
No, seriously, they're breathtaking,
vital, astounding, hilarious, etc.
But they need to chill out.

Taurus: No, I cant kiss you yet?
You like me but I cant kiss you?
How about now? No??
Slooooooooooooooooooww
freakin Taurus girls can suck it.

Gemini: I love you. Hold still!

Cancer: I love the way you love me,
but I wish you were more open-minded.

Leo: God bless you.
Magnificent specimens, these.
Just dont expect me to please.

Virgo: What is it with you?
Enigmatic, always impressive,
modest and deliberate to a fault.
I could use you, we could be a team,
but, alas, you criticize my dreams.

Libra: Dolls.
Fair-tempered and classy chicks.
But you care too much for the crowd,
and I cant keep up with the fads.

Scorpio: I can barely speak,
the tension in the room is like a gag.
We could measure the depths of eachother,
but you need to let go of my balls.

Sagittarius: I would ask you to marry me,
but I know that would only scare you away.

Capricorn: I dont know where to begin.

Aquarius: Just when I think
we are getting really intimate,
you act like a distant friend.
You love that I understand you,
and I know that you feel deeply,
but I need to see you express it.

Pisces: Take my heart.
Take everything, and disappear.
Leave me in the doorway.

Only been with one. She was 45. I was 33(?). (She was slightly closer to my parents age than mine.) Very Aquarian-influenced chart.

We didn't connect mentally at all, but we got along easy enough.

She asked for the most favors of any woman I've been with.

She had a great body. Young-looking body. (She was of Mexican heritage, but had a slightly Asian look to her, which I'm guessing may be Native American or something.). She was always up for sex. (She probably wouldn't have been if I tried initiating at inappropriate times, but pretty much as long as we were alone behind closed doors she was game.)

Taurus

Never been with one (to my knowledge). Taurus is probably my favorite sign to be friends with, and I've got quite a few. Messed around a little with a drunk Taurus once (while drunk myself). I think I'm fond of them enough to say that I could see myself with one long term.

Gemini

I wouldn't be surprised if the girl I lost my virginity to was a Gemini, but I don't know for certain.

There was a Gemini that I kind of had an online relationship once. In fact, when I found LL I was wondering if it could work between her and I. Eventually I drove out to meet her. It didn't go bad, but I wasn't attracted to her in the slightest. Gemini is my rising sign, though, so I'm still fond of them.

Cancer

Most of my relationships have been with Cancers. I fall hard for them pretty fast. It never works out, though. They're my big astrological relationship lesson thus far. I do try to stay open-minded, but Cancers are pretty much my version of the "bad boys" that women always complain of falling for. I get in a relationship with them, and I'm passionate about it. I think the world of them. I never stop to notice how we can't seem to communicate very well, or be friends. We can cooperate on on little things, but not on big things. I don't think I fit into their secure agenda very well.

Also, they're far too sensitive. You can do something as benign as watch them cook, and they'll think you're judging them every step of the way. You might even suggest they try what you do, but that's just an indictment on their work. Granted I have a Virgo Moon and Gemini Rising (and I'm quiet), so people do get the impression that I'm overly judgmental at times even when I'm not thinking such things.

Leo

Only had a one night stand with a Leo once. I'd have taken her to be a Cancer. She picked me up. It was actually the 4th of July, and I was in San Francisco. We watched the fireworks, and then hit a bar where a great soul/funk band was playing. She asked me to dance, and then I spent the night with her. It was kind of nice and sweet. She was on vacation. Lived in Hawaii. She was a photographer.

Virgo

Earth girls are not easy. I've crushed on a few Virgos. Never been with one. Had the opportunity of casual sex with [a gorgeous] one in a hotel room party once, but couldn't see myself doing it in front of my roommate and other friends. I'm starting to think it's a shame I haven't gotten together with my fellow earthlings.

Libra

One of my celebrity crushes is a Libra. Her name is Susan Sarandon.

I had a transitting Mars to my Sun/Moon midpoint in Scorpio (a pretty horny transit) fling with a Libra once. I don't really feel comfortable making any judgments based on that experience, though, because she was an alcoholic, and I really couldn't tolerate that. When it's coming out of your pores making you smell weird, you've got a problem.

I may have enough experience with Libras to say that they're genuinely good hearted, generous people. You could do a lot worse in life than to end up with a Libra.

Scorpio

I don't really get how I manage to not know many Scorpios. I've known a few; kind of here and there, but I can only think of ONE single (as in not-married or otherwise involved) Scorp female I've known in real life. Her and I were acquaintances, and nothing ever came of it.

I've had a little bit of a mixed time with female Scorpios here at LL. Still, I wouldn't mind trying one out. Fixed signs seem like my "final frontier" where dating and romance goes.

Sagittarius

My chart ruler is in Sag. My Venus is in Sag. My 7th house ruler is Sag. Even after I was in to astrology for quite awhile I didn't quite get my connection with Sags. They were around, but I remember fairly distinctly thinking that there was some block between myself and them. I mistakenly thought they were superficial.

I'm over that now. Sags are quite multi-faceted and unique. They have a real struggle finding an outlet for their soul.

My most recent and longest relationship (a mere two years) was with a Sag. Her Sun sat right on my Mercury. It was by far the easiest relationship of my life. It did lack a bit of passion, but in it's place I got friendship and the kind of cooperation and understanding I always missed out on in my dealings with Cancers.

The Yin and Yang qualities of the signs really hit home with this relationship. She had masculine Sun and Moon with a feminine ascendant. I had the opposite. I would overcompensate sometimes thinking that I might have offended her...only to find that she wasn't nearly as thin-skinned as my Cancerian exes.

That was a good partnership. She eventually decided that she had to return home to Vermont to help out her mother. She found my part of the country to be a bit expensive. I might've followed her, but I really couldn't conceive of how I could financially make that kind of a move, especially while not having a job lined up over there.

Capricorn

I don't know if I'll ever be attracted to a Capricorn woman enough to try. It seems to me like they're my sister or something.

Aquarius

No experience.

Pisces

I was 16, he was 18. He was very energetic, life of the party, half Korean, half french canadian, so about my size. We had fun, but he wanted more physically than I felt comfortable giving at the time. He broke up with me and slept with my best friend that same day. Weirdly enough, we still message each other every once in a while with snide yet cheeky comments. I should hate him, but we were dumb kids.

Taurus-

Dated one who was awesome, a very good friend's brother. Still a very good friend and ended up marrying the girl he dated after me. Amazing musician and great sense of humor. The other, not awesome, very clingy and weird and I should have seen the warning signs... worst experience in life.

Gemini-

Dated two and they were definatley very big parts of my life. One was on and off for about 4 years, we never could seem to get it right, but we always got along. Never fought about anything, talked about everything under the sun and made (literal) music together. He was just not motivated enough for me. Other one, a history of 7 years as friends/lovers/true loves/soul mates but I got too scared of forever and ran... Very strange how that one worked out, but I was very attracted to him and always had a good time with him.

Cancer -

Ugh. Still reeling from a debacle with a Cancer sun/Cappy moon/Aqua rising. We definatley messed with each other terribly, back and forth, one foot out the door, both with our walls up so high so as not to be hurt again. He hurt me, I hurt him to pay him back, he reclaimed me, he left me... We had found something very strange and foreign to me that I am still processing. I'm sure he will be in my life forever, in what capacity has yet to be seen, but I certainly learned a lot. He did too, and calls me his best friend daily. Who knows?

Leo -

Dated one when I was 17. He was cool, suave, cute, fun, quirky and broke my heart a little. He was my "first", so that was probably why I got so attached to him. When I think back on it, we really had nothing in common. Leo's are wayyyy to intensely alpha for me. We always seem to argue. My Leo moon gets where they are coming from, but all my aqua energy can't let them get away with it.. haha.

Virgo -

Have never dated one.

Libra -

Dated two. One was cute and sweet, but with absolutely no direction or motivation. Of course when I left him, he sorted himself out and is now married with a baby, a house and a good job. This is a pattern in my life. I used to think "there's something wrong with me!!" but now i let myself believe that I "fixed" them for the right girl... Haha.. The next Libran was pretty much the same. Always affectionate and the sex stuff was great, but he was a super mamas boy, youngest child, no ambition or purpose and it just dragged me down. Also, I gave up all my friends and my family because of his posessiveness. NEVER AGAIN.

Scorpio -

Loved one once. He was beautiful, like Jesus. My mom used to say he looked like Jesus. This light just kinda radiated out of him. He was a drummer and a hippie. I was 18 and it was magic. He left me for his ex-girlfriend, but dayum, did we have a nice few months.

Saggie -

Never dated one, but had a big old crush on one. He played some head games with me and it turned out he was hiding a girlfriend of a few years from everyone. He was really cute though.

Capricorn -

No experience.

Aquarius -

Good lord. I know what I'm like, why on earth did I think I could tolerate a relationship with someone like me??? LOL... Great fun and totally magical mental connection, but we are crazy people... very bad mates.

Pisces -

Dated one once, he was so emotional, I didn't know what to do with myself. He called me a b@*$h once and I broke up with him on his birthday. He cried, so I took him back for another month and wanted to stab myself. Dated one more years later and am pretty sure it was more out of convenience and lonliness than anything else. Nice guy, but again, very sad puppy dog eyes and clingy. Aqua girls run.

Disclaimer: Based only on my experience. No offense meant to anyone.

Aries-Dated a couple of the guys. I think they wanted to be with someone more feminine. Our Mars clashed a lot. Have several female Aries friends. I find their outgoing attitudes refreshing and occasionally abrasive.

Taurus-Very close relationships with the males, never anything romantic though, and unfortunately short-lived. They either moved, died, or we had a falling out. The women I've encountered have always been too busy to even start a friendship with.

Gemini- Gah, I love me some Gemini. Great friends, fantastic in bed, but I wouldn't be in a long term with one unless it was strictly friendship. My closest friends male and female are Geminis.

Cancer-Really good friends. Wish they were more social. Dated one. He cried all the time and had severe intimacy issues. Also was still hung up on his abusive Sag ex. He went back to her. I was glad to be free of the whole thing.

Leo-I like Leos, a lot. Wouldn't mind trying a long term with one but outside influences seem to get in the way. Don't have any female Leo friends. Haven't run into too many of the female persuasion, actually.

Virgo-Wish I had something nice to say about either sex. The males are kinda kinky, but all the ones I've ever trusted, male or female, betrayed me---horribly.

Libra-Not a lot of experience in the dating arena. Had a couple of Libra friends. Nice, but super flaky and indecisive.

Scorpio-My mother is one also. Have a good female friend who is one. I don't feel like I have to wear my armor all the time with them. Its nice. Very little experience with Scorp males, though, I find that to be rapidly changing. We'll see how it turns out.

Saggies- Good buddies. Dated a couple, had great stamina. Don't trust the women too much but have good conversations with them. The men, also good conversations, but I feel like I'm being beat to death with philosophy all the time (and they are always right---don't fall for the "we're just debating" line---you're just a sounding post). Seriously, someone has to worry about the bills and if the cat has been fed.

Cappies- I'm inwardly cringing as I type this. I get along okay with both sexes on a very superficial level. Don't particularly trust them. My ex is one and he lied, cheated, and stole with creditable grace. My Dad is one and a consummate womanizer. I was stalked by a female Cappy. Yeah...and the control thing isn't even negotiable.

Aquarius-Can tolerate if I have to of either sex. I have one good female Aquarian friend, not sure how it happened, but we do argue frequently. Dated a couple, it was just...odd.
