For a long time, I thought astrology was rather useless when it came to it's influence on dating. I know, a lot of people love it, and some even base their dating decisions on it.
I don't like limiting myself, especially based on something so archaic and ambiguous. I'd like to trust my own judgment in those matters.
However, this doesn't mean that the horoscope is completely useless. There are several perks to having this come up in conversation. So even if you aren't a believer in this sort of thing, it's a great idea to know and understand some basics in this regard.
How does this work? Say you are chatting up a beautiful young woman you've met out some night. Things are going great and then she asks "what sign are you?" Generally, it's prefaced or followed by her sign.
Now, you can answer and simply move on. If you know nothing about the signs, you might have gotten her to dismiss the idea of a date with you. No reasoning either, other than the horoscope told her not to.
You can see why I personally don't care for a system like this. But that doesn't matter, as you can turn this negative into a plus!
The first thing that must happen is a simple understanding of your sign's compatibility. I'm a Virgo. Who is Virgo's love match? According to a website I browsed, the signs I'm compatible with are: Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn. I'm apparently incompatible with Geminis and Sagittarius. And my opposite is Pisces.
What does all that mean? To me, very little, but to the woman who brought it up, a lot. If you KNOW about your sign and the compatibilities, you can use this information to your advantage.
If the sign is compatible, and you know this... you can smile and keep going. You can also delve deeper by inquiring about her Moon sign and Rising sign. Do a search on those for more information. Rest assured, you have a great topic in which to delve further into, and you KNOW she is interested in that.
If you are NOT compatible, don't be dismissive! Instead, talk to her about what a challenge it is to see if you can make something work despite what the horoscope says. You want to challenge her limiting frame by playing yourself off as something of a safe experiment. If you've had fun thus far, it's a good chance she'll be willing to go in that direction with you.
If you are neither incompatible, opposite, or compatible, you can continue with the conversation by asking her more about her sign. A longer time talking gives you a chance to make a better connection, especially if the conversation is engaging to both of you.
If you REALLY want to make this work best for you, take the time to get a basic understanding of each sign. That's simple, as there are countless websites and books on the very subject. Gather some information, even if it is very little. It will pay off handsomely.
Despite the cliche, it will be worth the time you have invested in it. Count on that. - 15437
