Ridiculous I know, but those of you happily married, are your star signs compatible?

Reason I'm asking is that although it is all possibly a load of rubbish, I am intrigued by the number of couples I know who are still together years after meeting, and have the 'right' signs ie leo and sagittarius, virgo/taurus, stuff like that.

I'd be interested to know if this is actually something I'm imagining or if it really does seem to have a bearing.

here

I can't find the link I read which was even more against it as a match but more from Aquarian woman Virgo man............

Bouncingturtle · 24/03/2008 14:56

I'm a Taurus, DH is Virgo.
Apparently we are elementally perfect
Not sure I would take it seriously, but I do think We have a fabulous marriage

Janni · 24/03/2008 14:56

I'm Gemini he's Taurus. Yes we're compatible (together 20 years) but I've no idea if we're 'meant' to be. Anyone?

BroccoliSpears · 24/03/2008 14:59

God no, we're a dreadful match.

Sagittarius and Capricorn is a complete disaster apparently.

Plus, I'm a fire sign and he's an earth sign. Eek. Very bad.

But hey ho - we've been together for 10 lovely, calm, happy years and are more in love than ever.

Fillyjonk · 24/03/2008 18:33

oh god I made it up mainly

but was right a worrying percentage of the time...

I had a headscarf though, at least when it was cold, maybe that was it?

scorpio1 · 24/03/2008 18:42

me and DH

This is so true!! I am the Scorpio. SO true of me, especially the bit about superficial people and places, etc. Alhough DH is more 'hard' during arguements than it suggests.

Shaniece · 24/03/2008 19:41

Looks like DH are not suited according to that link by Wisteria - I am Virgo he is Aquarius. Both DC's are Leo's.

Do you all believe in star signs? I have to say I used to when I was a teenager, but not now.

expatinscotland · 24/03/2008 19:42

Um, I don't know.

But I do know that star signs and all that bunk is nonsense.

expatinscotland · 24/03/2008 19:42

Um, I don't know.

But I do know that star signs and all that bunk is nonsense.

Shaniece · 24/03/2008 19:44

Are you a Virgo by any chance expat? That's a typical Virgo comment .

expatinscotland · 24/03/2008 19:45

Nope. Not a Virgo.

ScoobyDoo · 24/03/2008 19:47

Are you a cancer Expat?

expatinscotland · 24/03/2008 19:48

Nope.

But ascribing certain characteristics to people because of the random chance of their 'star sign' is even sillier than wondering if you're compatible with your mate because of such bolleaux.

SenoraPostrophe · 24/03/2008 19:49

virgo and libra, so no.

it's a good thing it's all a load of old bollocks really

Troutpout · 24/03/2008 19:51

Dh (scorpio) and i (Aries) have been together 24 years.
Not sure if we are supposed to be compatible or not.Isn't Scorpio 'water' and Aries 'Fire'?...so i'm guessing not.
We irritate each other a lot but we usually crack up laughing before it gets too serious.

DeeRiguer · 24/03/2008 19:52

i dont think it is complete rubbish though
i like the chinese horoscope and have great book where its combined with sun signs
its interesting

and flight, its not half as bonkers as beleiving an ikea mirror is the harbinger of impending doom for your sister ..

rantingwageslave · 24/03/2008 19:55

Have never thought about it before, I'm a Saggi and dh is a Leo (so according to your post, we are compatible) but I didn't know that before I read your post.

abigaillockhart · 24/03/2008 19:55

I'm Gemini and DH is Libran so we get on brilliantly!! It may sound stupid but DD is also a Libran and I was so relieved as I thought if she was early and therefore a Virgo, we would clash.

Ds is Cancer - will now look up how he and DD will get along.

bettybeetroot · 24/03/2008 20:06

I'm Libra (air) and dh is aries (fire) suppose to be good match as air feeds fire - also dd is gemini and ds is aquarius - also air signs!

Shaniece · 24/03/2008 20:09

Well I'd better get myself a good divorce lawyer coz according to the star sign compatiblity, we ain't suited at all. Virgo and Aquarius. We have been married nearly 10 years though!! It's a pile of crap tbh!

MrsTittleMouse · 25/03/2008 15:57

DH and I are both Cancer. That's not supposed to be good, right? We have been together 11 years and married for 5, so not doing too badly.

CaptainKarvol · 25/03/2008 16:09

my mum is a believer in all this. I'm Aries, DH is Taurus. Mum tutted and said this was a bad, bad thing. We've been together happily for 14 years and have a DS (Pisces - also totally incompatible with poor me, apparently)

OrmIrian · 25/03/2008 16:12

Don't know. On either count.

On whether we are happily married
And whether we are stellarly compatible.

I'm aquarius and DH is gemini.
