I posted this on a couple of other boards, too, only because I think it's a fun topic for discussion.

I'm a Pisces, too, and a textbook case at that. The BEST relationship I had was with a Cancer & worst was a Leo. I think so far we're 2 for 2, at least as far as Pisceans go, on there being something to this astrology thing...or just a coincidence.

I know I will NEVER date a Leo again. That's the only sign I'm swearing off because I've never met one that wasn't selfish as hell.

Hi Stacey. I am like you. I follow it but I'm not obsessed. I'm a Libra and was married to an Aquarius which we are compatible with. I am about 95% of what they say a Libra should be. My ex and I DID finish each others sentences and think alike but that was about it. I've never dated a Gemini which I am also compatible with. Cancer and Capricorn are the least compatible and I have found that to be true. I have been dating one guy on and off for 2 1/2 years now who is a Scorpio and the sexual tension is TOTALLY there. When I looked up Libra and Scorpio, that's exactly what it came up with. lol Not much with relationships but hot as hades in the bedroom! lol

I don't depend on the signs completely for dating guys (even though I tend to stay away from Scorpios lol) but it has been uncanny how a lot of it has been true.

guys now that Pluto has been demoted, it is all up in the air.
The 12 signs should become 11 if we are really influenced by the planets.
I m saying it is all plain coincidence or maybe something else but not astrology.

I definitely avoid certain signs. I am a Libra with supposedly a very strong Taurus ascendant. Even though they say Libras don't traditionally get along well with Virgos, I notice that most of my boyfriends and most of the men I've been attracted to end up being Virgo. It's wierd. I think the strong Taurus trait in me makes that so. The Virgo men I've met usually end up being very dependable, affectionate and pretty loyal. They're not cheaters or players.

My worst relationships ever have been with Capricorn and Cancer men--I would never date anyone of those two signs again. Cancers I find to be moody, senstive, brooding and just negative. Capricorns are intelligent and witty, but really complicated. I never met a Capricorn who was faithful either. The two men I knew were extremely chauvenistic. They were really smart, really talented, articulate, good public speakers, but they definitely lived by a double standard. They have extremely high opinions of themselves. They come first--period. The ones I knew were ruthless when angered or crossed too. I have a few Capricorn cousins who are the same way. They're not particularly faithful and if anyone crosses them, they don't get mad, they get even. Strange how they're all Capricorns...lol

The only other sign I can say I would NEVER ever date are Aries. I notice that I clash big time with Aries men and women. I've worked with a lot of Aries people and it never fails--always a lot of tension with Aries people.

I like Leos--great sign. They're solid, dependable, strong people. They're also very generous and devoted. I also feel a strong friendship quality with Aquarius men as a previous Libra poster stated herself. I don't mind it though. I find a 'comfortability' and instant closeness to Aquarius people.

My two best friends are Pisces. They're loving and good people. Not a vindictive bone in their body. They are very forgiving and very even-tempered. I admire those qualities in them. One thing I have noticed though is that Pisces people fall in love fast and they fall in love hard. I'm more fickle, more thick skinned. Pisces people wear their hearts on their sleeve. Not bad, I just notice that.

So, bottom line, I don't follow daily horoscopes, never been to an astrologer, but through life I've definitely formed opinions on certain personality types. If it were up to me, I wouldn't date those three signs: Capricorn, Cancer and definitely not ever an Aries!! Any other sign, I'd give it a shot and be open to it.

Yes, this is the Libra again and I agree I LOVE LOVE Virgos and it's not supposed to be a good match for me.

Fun topic!!! I don't take it too seriously, but I do always take note of the signs of the guys I date, and occasionally read horoscopes.

I'm a Virgo and have had a number of Pisces partners, including my first serious BF in HS and my ex-husband. Ironically, both of my flings from last winter were Pisces also--one (the good guy who moved to CA) even has the same birthday as my ex-husband, although they are very different people (as in, one's a good guy, one's a (self-described) FINK!). Pisces is the opposite sign to Virgo and so we are supposed to be good matches in the sense that we complement each other--Pisces are supposed to be creative dreamer types, Virgos more practical and down to earth.

I've also had a LTR with a Scorpio--very passionate but too much conflict. The Liar was a Gemini, so I'm not too pre-disposed to date another Gemini (although of course I would give someone a chance--I don't take it THAT seriously), and the LD guy was an Aries--I don't think that's a particular good fit for me either. The new guy I'm supposed to meet tonight is a Leo--that's not supposed to be a particularly good match for Virgos and I realized, I've never been involved with a Leo. Hope that's not a bad sign, LOL!!

small-Peanut,

I agree, Capricorns are sexy and they are very, very traditional. They believe in family alright, but the men I knew were too old-fashioned. The woman is a woman, definitely inferior to him (the man). They have big egos and somehow they're 'okay' with their point of view--CHAUVENISTIC...lol They're good politicians, have great business sense. My biggest praise about Capricorns is that no matter what bad traits they may have, they are hard workers. Capricorn men are not lazy bums and they're not tight with their money at all. If they have money, they blow it, they give it to you. However, in regards to relationships, the men I knew weren't faithful at all. They cheated. My cousins who are Capricorns cheat too and they're like "Ah, it doesn't mean anything". They don't see it...HELLLOOO IT'S WRONG! They also lie a lot to cover up their infidelities (but didn't see it as lying) and aren't good husband material (because of those reasons)...I can't stand their explosive tempers either. Oh, and I forgot the main thing, they are super jealous!! I had never been with anyone so jealous as those two Capricorn men I dated. It was ridiculous. So, while I do see their good points, I'd never date one again.

Famous Capricorn celebrities:

Orlando Bloom
Nicolas Cage
Jim Carrey
Mel Gibson
Elvis Presley
Jude Law
Denzel Washington
Kate Moss
Ricky Martin
Kevin Costner
Val Kimer
Ryan Seacrest

Jared Leto
Kate Bosworth
Sienna Miller
Marilyn Manson
Howard Stern
Kid Rock
Chyna
Amanda Peet
Janis Joplin
Dolly Parton
Tiger Woods
Muhammad Ali
Rod Stewart
David Bowie
Patrick Dempsey

Now about Virgos, I agree, I have never met a Virgo I haven't liked. They're easy-going and it takes a lot to anger them but make no mistake, they aren't pushovers by any means. For some reason, I think both Virgo men and women tend to be a little more on the attractive some in the looks department. Here are some Virgo celebrities:

Beyonce Knowles
Cameron Diaz
Keanu Reeves
Sean Connery
Leanne Rimes
Michael Keaton
Shania Twain
Faith Hill
Pink
Jason Priestly
Hugh Grant
Charlie Sheen
Jada Pinkett Smith
Richard Gere
Chad Michael
Murray

Thank you. Yes I never have had a relationship with a Capricorn only dates – mainly because I found their personalities boring although I liked their “package” on written paper i.e. ambitious, wise and family oriented.
