Sun
Sign compatibility.
So
you are, say, a Capricorn and you want to know which Sun Sign you will get
on with best. Oh that's easy, it has to be Virgo or Taurus, after all they
are Earth Signs just like you - or so they tell you. Wrong. Nothing
could be further than the truth, and I can say with clear conscience that
anyone who tells you this simply hasn't grasped the basic rules of
astrology, or doesn't care.
This
misconception arose through trying
to expand Sun Sign Astrology beyond what it is capable of delivering. To
say that certain Signs are 'compatible' is an overstatement and pure
speculation. It is one thing to say that the Sun in a Capricorn's chart
has a good aspect to the Sun in a Virgo's chart therefore they will get on
well; it is another thing altogether to say that a Capricorn will get on
with a Virgo because they are both Earth Signs. The first is true, the
second is not.
The
key to relationships lies not in the Signs, or Sun Signs, but in the
planetary linkages formed by aspects between two charts. This is the only
way to measure compatibility using astrology. It is quite possible for
so-called 'compatible' Signs to end up hating each other or non-compatible
Signs getting along wonderfully - it all depends on the aspects.
The
latest absurdity is to try to match people up using the Qualities or
Elements. Basically, it pretends to show how a particular Quality, let's
say Cardinal, gets on with the other Qualities. This is even sillier than
trying to match the Sun Signs and shows a complete lack of basic
understanding of astrology.
So
much of what is written and spoken about Sun Sign Astrology is complete
nonsense. This is just one example. I hope it has pointed you in the right
direction.
