I am on my phone so I will be short and apologize now if I may be everywhere on this topic. I was interested in astrology in my early twenties but have since then strayed away from studying more about it. I learned many things about lunar signs and birth charts that are suppose to play a role in how a person inward and outward personality may be made and life obstacles that they may go through and how they handle them. I also read a little on chineese astrology ( eastern zodiac) which corresponds with the orbit of jupiter, in which it takes 12 years. So after 12 years the cycle would start over with a different element. In knowing some of this I find myself seeking mates that I know I am compatible with. But then when it comes to western astrology because of new evidence of a 13th sign and when dealing with only sun signs and not birth charts, I find it very difficult. Also I can say the same with the eastern zodiac because of all the elements and so forth. I was wondering if anyone has succesfully had a relationship that knows even alittle about astrology that was against this or was aligned with this? It is very strange to me that those that I am compatible with do not reach a level of intellect that makes me want to engage in a relationship, when those that do posses energy to stimulate my mind I am not compatible with. I was with the father of my kids for 7 years. He is a cancer and I am a taurus, that says we are compatible according to western astrology. My lunar sign is a cancer and his is a libra. However in chineese astrology he is a goat and me a dog, in which we wouldn't be compatible. I do know of knowlege where they incorporate the both but know nothing of this. We however did not work and I have grown so far intellectually that we will never work because anytime I voice my opinion I am crazy to him. He is a strong Black man yet his thoughts are too much and I can't handle it. Besides being an alcoholic he talks to my son with a very degrading tone at times and I try and tell him his way of speaking to them is damaging to their spirit. He will say things like you stupid and you gone grow up to be a punk. Is this tough love? How some men put it and me being a woman am I. Putting to much thought into this. How can I want to mend something like this when we don't see eye to eye on what to instill in our children? Any comments are welcome
