Which Astrological Sign Should You Be Dating?

by Christine Hirlehey

You don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what’s written in the stars.” – Anïs Nin

You’ve probably always followed your gut when it comes to love. You know when you meet someone if there is a chance that you will connect romantically. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t, but the potential spark was there, and you felt it.

However, there are many ‘tipping points’ in a relationship when you need to make a difficult decision, and your gut is pulling you in multiple conflicting directions. Sometimes you meet more than one person that you like and need to decide where to focus your energy. Sometimes you’re at the point where you need to decide whether to take the relationship to the next level. Sometimes you are in a relationship, but you are having problems, and you need to decide whether to keep working or walk away.

While there is no magic playbook out there that can answer these questions for you with certainty, understanding your astrological chart, and the chart of your significant other, can help you understand your level of compatibility, and help inform your decision, which will of course be based on many factors.

Really understanding your own astrological chart, let alone another person’s, is a complex thing. But to get started, this article will give some basics on who you should be dating based on your respective sun signs.

Libra can also make a good match as they balance out some of your more challenging character traits.
