How Astrology Affects Our Dating Life

At any moment in time, including the moment of our first breath, the Sun, Moon, and all of the planets are in a certain configuration in the sky. Astrology is the study of how the placement of the planets in the sky relates to what happens here on Earth. Astrology can give you information about every aspect of your life, including your relationships and your dating life.

Below are some of the important ways that astrology affects your dating life:

1. Astrology can tell us how we appear to others

Most people known their Sun Sign, or the location of the Sun in the sky when they were born. If you know your date, time, and place of birth, you can also find your Ascendant or Rising Sign. This is the sign that was rising in the East at the moment of your first breath. You can get this information for free at Astrolabe.

Our Sun Sign represents who we are on a deep level, while our Rising Sign tells how we come across to others, particularly to those we do not know very well. If our Rising Sign and our Sun Sign are in the same or similar signs, such as Aries and Leo, we will appear to others as we are right from the beginning. If our Rising Sign and our Sun Sign are very different from each other, we will have a face that we show to the world that is different from who we are. For example, someone with a Cancer Sun and Leo Rising will appear extroverted and showy on the outside but will be quiet and shy on the inside. Having this information about yourself or about your partner is quite valuable in understanding how you will relate to each other over time.

2. Astrology can show what is most important to us in our relationships

If you were to ask different people about what the most important thing in a relationship is, you will get different answers. Some will say communication, some will say trust, some will say security, and some will say passion and excitement. The truth is that these are all very important, but different signs will feel differently about them. What is important to one sign is not necessarily all that important to another.

Each of the 12 signs belongs to one of the Classical Elements, which are Air, Fire, Earth, and Water. The Element of the sign will determine what is most important to it.

• The Air Signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, and they find communication to be the most important factor in a relationship.
• The Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, and for them, a relationship must have passion and excitement above all else.
• The Earth Signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, and security, financial and otherwise, is crucial to them.
• The Water Signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, and the most important things to them are trust and emotional connection.

If you and your partner are of the same Element, you will have similar needs in a relationship. This is why Signs of the same Element are considered the most compatible with each other. If you and your partner are of different Elements, you will have to negotiate with each other. Air and Fire Signs do well with each other, as do Earth and Water Signs. Air and Fire both have difficulty with Earth and Water, and vice versa. These combinations are much more challenging.

3. Astrology can show how we relate to change

In addition to showing what is most important to us, astrology can also show how we relate to change. In addition to Element, each sign also belongs to what is known as a Mode. The Mode tells us the type of energy the sign has. The Modes are as follows:

• The Cardinal Signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. These signs like to be at the forefront of change. They like to take the initiative and to be in charge.
• The Fixed Signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. These signs dislike change and prefer stability.
• The Mutable Signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. These signs are easy-going. They generally do not initiate change, but they are happy to go along with it if someone else does.

While signs of the same Element are very compatible, signs of the same Mode are usually not. The tensest aspects between signs, the opposition and the square, are between signs of the same Mode.

In addition to showing general compatibility, or lack thereof, the Mode shows how fast or slow the various signs will go as the relationship develops. In general, the Cardinal Signs will move quickly and tend to have whirlwind romances, the Fixed Signs will take things very slowly, and the Mutable Signs will be somewhat in the middle between fast and slow.

4. Astrology can show what is attractive to us

If we know our Ascendant, or even just our Sun Sign, we can get a general idea of what we find attractive. The fifth sign from our Ascendant or Sun Sign is the sign that will show this. If we know this information about our partner, we will know how to please them romantically. Below are the traits that each sign finds attractive:

• Aries – Leo: bold, larger than life, and having an air of royalty
• Taurus – Virgo: neat, tidy, and organized
• Gemini – Libra: charming, diplomatic, and well-mannered
• Cancer – Scorpio: deep, mysterious, and perceptive
• Leo – Sagittarius: fun-loving, free-spirited, and adventurous
• Virgo – Capricorn: serious, practical, and powerful
• Libra – Aquarius: independent, eccentric, and intelligent
• Scorpio – Pisces: gentle, kind, and magical
• Sagittarius – Aries: brash, courageous, and strong
• Capricorn – Taurus: calm, steady, and stable
• Aquarius – Gemini: interesting, talkative, and playful
• Pisces – Cancer: tender, caring, and nurturing

5. Astrology can show our natural partner

One of the difficulties many people have as a relationship deepens is that we need more in a long-term relationship than just attraction. We need someone who can balance us. For this reason, our natural partners are always the sign opposite our Ascendant or Sun Sign. The opposite sign pairs are as follows.

• Aries – Libra
• Taurus – Scorpio
• Gemini – Sagittarius
• Cancer – Capricorn
• Leo – Aquarius
• Virgo – Pisces

Ideally, the person we settle down with will have traits we find attractive as well as the traits of our natural partner. If we are aware of this, we can make better choices, and we will have a better understanding of how and why our relationship changes over time.
