The links are screwed up, and I'm tired of trying to fix them. I suggest googling marriage and divorce for and then whatever sign you want to know about.

Taurus women most often marry Taurus men, while Aquarius men are their least common choice. As for divorce, Taurus women are more inclined to part from Scorpios, but tend to stay married to Geminis.

Tauruses may be drawn by Scorpio intensity—this is a passionate match. However, two stubborn signs both inclined to jealousy may clash in the long run, which would explain the higher-than-average divorce statistic.

As for why Taurus men often avoid marrying Gemini women while Taurus women tend to stay married to Gemini men, this is a mystery. Gemini’s chatty hyperactive sociability and impulsive restlessness are not particularly compatible with Taurus’s calm, pragmatic (and often predictable) nature

Well... that explains my relationships (including short-lived ones)

Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, Capricorn, Libra, Scorpio, Gemini, Taurus, Pisces, Gemini

I can't even hold a good conversation with most Aquarian men.. find them the hardest to talk to. Second to that is Sagittarius men.

Strange because my ASC is in Aquarius with a Libra moon! :P

Taurus men + Capricorn women is common

Taurus men + Pisces women

Taurus women + Cancer men (not usually the other way around)

Gemini men + Aquarius women

Scorpio men + Taurus women

Aquarius women + Leo men (though I can't recall any marriages with this combination)

Aquarius women + Scorpio men

Aquarius women + Pisces men (Often seen married)

Aquarius women + Sagittarius men

Capricorn men + Cancer women

Gemini women + Sagittarius men

Gemini women + Aquarius men (often seen married)

Gemini men + Libra women

Virgo men + Leo women

Virgo men + Libra women

Taurus women + Libra men

Pisces men + Leo women

Gemini men + Leo women

Aries women + Sagittarius men (often seen married and divorced)

Pisces women + Scorpio men

Taurus men + Aquarius women

Sagittarius women + Cancer men

Libra women + Scorpio men

Sagittarius women + Libra men

Libra women + Aries men (often seen married and divorced)

Capricorn women + Sagittarius men

Capricorn women + Virgo men (often seen married)

Capricorn women + Aries men (not incredibly common though)

Gemini women + Taurus men

Scorpio women + Capricorn men (often seen married)

Pisces + Sagittarius both ways (usually ends in tears)

Capricorn women + Aquarius men

Gemini + Capricorn (both ways)

Taurus + Taurus is common

Gemini + Gemini is fairly common too

as is Sagittarius + Sagittarius

Rarely see Aries + Aries

Cancer + Cancer is common

as is Virgo + Virgo

Rarely see Capricorn + Capricorn (unless one is born on the Cap/Sag cusp)

Rarely see Pisces + Pisces (I think this sign, in general, benefits from partnering with a more stable/grounded sign, and would have a better chance of coming together with a Feb-born/Aqua cusp Pisces woman and March-born Pisces man, or both being on the Aqua/Pisces cusp!)

Aquarius + Aquarius can be a good one

Leo + Leo where one is born in July the other in August

Also Scorpio + Scorpio where one is born in October the other in November

October-born Scorpio women + October-born Libra men is common too.
As is September-born Libra women and October-born Libra men.

I've seen this happen often that more 'incompatible' signs match where one is not born in the main sign month.

eg. Aquarius women born in Feb, and Tauren men born in April seem to be common.

Leo men born in July or the Agugust Leo/Virgo cusp and Taurean women born in May. Also Leo men born in August and Taurean women born in April.

These are all off the top of my head.. worked in medical industry for 8 years so I kind of mentally took note.. I didnt mean to I just always had to look at birthdays and having a big astrology interest noticed the common ones And also from observing my own and others relationships.. lol .. first thing I ask my friends when they get into a relationship - what star sign are they? keke

IN truth, I find sun sign analysis alone to be a little over-simplistic. I mean, come on. Virgo and Virgo? LOL
I hardly ever see Virgo-Virgo couples (might be a good thing lol.)
Virgo NEEDS a more emotional mate usually, to push them out of their comfort zone.

I've seen Leo/Leo turn into complete and total hell too, Lara.
I've seen a lot of Leo/Cancer couples, a few Leo/Libra, Leo/Virgo, and even 3 VERY strong, solid Leo/Scorpio couples.
Sun square couples are a lot more popular than one would think.
Capricorn/Aries is one I see A LOT.

That's why I don't even own a single sunsign Astrology book because it is too simplistic imho.

Also being born on October 29th with Sun in 5'20 Scorpio which means that my Sun was actually in the constellation of Virgo.

October 31st, The Sun leaves the Virgo constellation and enters the constellation of Libra.

It makes sense that Scorpios born in October 31st and later throughout November would have significant differences
because they are born with a different star theme that underlies their tropical zodiac sign.

I do have my tropical Scorpio Mercury and Venus in the constellation of Libra. That could help me relate to October 31st,November Scorpios.

This was my favorite part of the article:

Incompatible Matches

Scorpios who find themselves romantically entangled with one of the less compatible signs should not despair. Plenty of marriages between supposedly incompatible signs have lasted.

Astrology is complex, and there is more to take into account than just sun signs. Two people with incompatible sun signs may have highly compatible rising signs (ascendants) or moon signs that can make the difference between a bad match and a good match with a bit of an “edge” that keeps things interesting.

I haven't seen many cap/cap relationships at all... but keeping in mind that is just my experience.

I have seen Leo/Leo but usually one is born in July, the other August. I don't know I have this theory about cusps and months... If we look at other interps there are monthly (not sun sign) ones too.
My first wonderful astrology book was "Astrology in the Southern Hemisphere" and it has some great monthly interps and a native animal represents each month. I think it's pretty good anyway but of course, keeping in mind it is just as general as sun sign interps. But I think this can account for different sun sign traits within the same sign....

And Virgo/Virgo I have seen that often! But I never said they lasted forever!!

I forgot to put Leo/Scorp too .. I know personally of 3 - 4 marriages with this (solid too) and seen other pairings like this as well.

Hence why I listed the common combos I have come across... a lot of them are in traditionally incompatible signs

posted September 19, 2009 01:11 PM         

Other couples I see alot of are....

-Cancer/Sag
-cancer/gemini
-Pisces/gemini
-virgo/gemini
-Taurus/Taurus
-Libra/pisces

This is my Dad and Stepmother. Financially it's a prosperous union. But the relationship itself if a nightmare.

I'm a Virgo and I've never been attracted to another Virgo. EVER. However, I did like this part of the article:

quote:

---

The lack of statistically significant results for some of the marriage and divorce inclinations of Virgos suggests that Virgos may seek a variety of complex attributes in their partners that are not as straightforward as those sought by many of the other signs. As such, there are potentially more disastrous matches for this sign, but also more positive opportunities for lasting love.
