Astrology has been around for thousands of years and is still a part of millions of people’s lives. The daily horoscopes, readings, and interpretations of the astrological signs have helped shape the decisions of people around the world. And while your zodiac sign may be used as an ice-breaker for meeting someone new, recent studies have shown no relationship
between love compatibility and the sign you were born under.
Of course, there is a good reason why zodiac signs don’t matter when it comes to the affairs of the heart. For example, astrologists have claimed that those born under the sign of Sagittarius for example should find someone who is an Aquarius or Cancer. Yet studies show that a high number of happy couples have birthdays which are very close together.
And while such pairings of people with birthdays that are on the same day or quite close may be in part the result astrological predictions, it does demonstrate that love is a matter that defies the conventional wisdom of astrologers.
How Horoscopes Distract People From The Daily Grind
Horoscopes are published in many newspapers and online for a good reason. They are quite popular entertainment devices, which help distract people from borning and stressful lives. And while many people may take them seriously, unfortunately, relatively few of those who read horoscopes have changed their turbulent relationships nor found compatible love from their advice. It is this conundrum which in part explains why zodiac signs are poor predictors of who should fall in love and who shouldn’t.
However, one influence that horoscopes may have occurs before the couple meets. A person looking for love with another who has the right zodiac sign may alter their behavior which in turn influences their choices. Yet, the low number of people who make decisions of love based on horoscopes is still quite small compared to those who believe astrology is more than just a superstition.
Why Zodiac Signs are Meaningless for Love Compatibility
Anyone who has read a horoscope knows that the advice given is usually broad, general, and may apply to lots of people even beyond those born under the sign listed. In addition, there are various schools of thought about the variability of personality traits for a particular sign, which has caused considerable debate in the astrology community.
Perhaps most imporant of all is understanding that when it comes to compatibility like goals, values, chemistry and sharing similar interests, zodiac signs have little to nothing to do with finding the right love for your particular circumstances. Once you come to this realization and get clear on what you really want from a partner and what you have to offer, you’ll be surprised at who shows up both online and offline. These potential love interests will more than likely share your interests, goals and values before they ever share any zodiac compatibility.
There are simply more forces on Earth that have far more influence than distant stars ever could on your life. Putting zodiac signs and the daily horoscope into its proper perspective helps you find someone to truly love and share amzing moments with. To paraphrase Shakespeare, love lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
