Single? Search for Your Star Crossed Lover!

By Tony Rockwell

Do you believe in fate? Are you destined to meet the love of your life someday? Many people strongly believe in the role of fate guiding the paths towards their soul mates. One way to find love through destiny is by looking to the stars. Zodiac signs, also known as star signs or sun signs, are often consulted by singles to help them meet their perfect matches.

Not everyone believes in astrology. In fact, many are staunchly opposed to it. However, plenty of others find the significance of the stars to actually be true. They read their horoscopes every day in the newspaper or online, even though the predictions are often followed by the disclaimer: for entertainment purposes only. No matter which end of the spectrum your beliefs belong, delving into zodiac compatibility of Western and Chinese astrology is quite entertaining and can help suitable matches get together. If you're still single, why not think outside the dull dating box and experiment with a new method of meeting people?

Western Astrology uses the twelve signs of the zodiac, which are based on the constellations that the sun passes throughout the year. These twelve signs are believed to represent twelve basic personality types. Different planets are said to be rulers of specific zodiac signs, thus representing basic drives or impulses in the human psyche. Someone who is born under a certain sign, based on the day and the month, may exhibit the personality traits and inclinations of that sign. Knowing this information can prove helpful when seeking the perfect person to mesh with your own personality.

A twelve year cycle of animal signs are used for the Chinese zodiac. Your year of birth determines which animal you are and you are supposed to share the characteristics of that animal. For example, those born in 1973 are oxen so they are strong, dependable, and hard working. Which animal are you? Learning which animals you are compatible with is often hilarious!

You don't need to get out your telescope or consult an astrologer to figure out which signs are compatible with which. There are plenty of websites that provide curious singles all the information they need, and more! Even some advanced online dating websites include zodiac compatibility into their profile questionnaires and search tools so finding your star-crossed lover is easier than ever! Relationships are certainly complex, and planets and animals alone probably can't determine if a long term match is truly possible; however, there is something curiously cosmic about consulting the stars to find the love of your life!
