Full disclosure:

I actually subscribe to Gary Goldschneider's personology system, in which there are 48 sun signs, and he's made a book showing how each sign relates to all 48. It is called The Secret Language of Relationships. It's highly reliable. I don't care what ANYONE says!

I've seen enough evidence to know its worth.

Well it's not just you saying that. There are others here who trivialize the importance of the sun sign and talk to you like you're an astrology newb if you give it its rightful due. There is someone here convinced that she's not relating to her boyfriend on a sun sign level; meanwhile, her boyfriend is the sun sign she is statistically most likely to marry.

True, if they are around they might see improvement. The author of the 48 signs book spent 40 years compiling a database of 25,000 people and their birthdays in order to refine his system. The ancients had no such database.

Each sign has five "personology periods" within it: cusp with the previous sign; three periods that roughly represent the decans; cusp with the following sign.

Unless you've studied it, I don't see what practical basis there is for dismissing it out of hand.

My CURRENT boyfriend (current because he's probably not going to be the last, lets be real) is an Aqua, yes. But there are things in our charts that go WAY beyond that, as in my Moon is trine his Sun (classic relationship aspect), my ascendant is conjunct his vertex and vice versa (this is a big deal since if he wasn't born in Germany [we're American], his vertex wouldn't be near my ASC... he was born at the right time in the right place), his MC is conjunct my IC by 1 degree, my dwad Sun is 21 Virgo, his Moon is 21 Virgo. His Moon also conjuncts my SN. Our composite is also very powerful, with a stellium of Sun, Venus, Mars and Mercury and Vertex exactly conjunct the DSC. These are all much more compelling reasons as to why we're together, rather than the fact that we are both Aquas. I've met many other Aqua men that I haven't felt anything for whatsoever.

In fact, my longest relationship was with a LEO, which is the least likely sign an Aqua woman will marry, according to that study. I also attract a ton of Leos in general.

My mother, who is a Pisces, has been married to my dad (a Taurus) for 20+ years, even though Taurus is the 2nd least likely sign a Pisces will marry.

Also, the original study didn't have THAT BIG OF A DIFFERENCE between least likely and most likely signs, if you looked at the actual numbers. So a 1000 Aqua women married Aqua men, but 900 Aqua women married Leo men... that's not a big difference statistically and not very compelling.

Firstly I don't know why you named yourself. I wasn't going to do that, lol.

Also, per the article:

It's important to keep in mind that these are statistical tendencies; this doesn't mean that every romance between incompatible signs is doomed. For example, out of 6,498,320 marriages encompassing all possible sign combinations in the Castille study, there were 1,059 more marriages between Aquarius men and Aquarius women than would be expected if sun signs had no effect, whereas between Aquarius men and Virgo women, there were 529 fewer marriages than would be expected if pairings were random. However, there still were many marriages between the supposedly least compatible signs.

---

Perhaps a sample of 7 million+ marriages (in total combining the two studies) is not compelling to you... that's fine.

...But Sachs didn't do the stats himself - they were carried out by a group of highly professional statistitions from the Ludwig-Maximilian Univeristy of Munich and The Allensbach Institute for Demographic Research.

And to get abit back on topic this would be quincunx mine. But I guess an easier quincunx than sag since we have the same planetary ruler.

"Taurus men may be attracted to Libra women for the same reasons that Taurus women appeal to them. Both signs have a strong aesthetic appreciation. They like domestic tranquility and sensuality, and prefer to surround themselves with beautiful things. Also, the Libra will appreciate the decisiveness of the Taurus, while the Libra’s compromising nature prevents clashes with the infamous Taurean stubbornness. Neither sign is inclined to fight over trivial things, though Libra flirtatiousness may trigger Taurean jealousy."
