I’m a man of science, so astrology, like tarot card reading and mind-reading, is just pure nonsense to me. Is there anyone out there who believes in astrology? Don’t be shy. I’m open-minded. Maybe you can explain how it all works — why your birth date and the way the solar system is on that particular day, has any bearing on your personality.
Usually, I write my Tuesday post on Monday night. Tuesday is the biggest day of the week for me in blogland. For some reason, I get the most traffic on Tuesday, so I always try to prepare the most entertaining and heart-wrenching post for all of my dear readers.
Just as I was about to start writing, I got a phone call from Sophia. She was coming over and going to stay the night. Now, this is an extremely unlikely situation. Whenever we have some event planned, I always go over to her house. So, this was a big treat. I rushed around my apartment, washing my dishes, changing the sheets, and washing some towels.
Of course this posed a dilemma: Do I write my important Tuesday post for a bunch of dumb strangers or pay attention to Sophia, a real live gorgeous woman? (by the way, I decided to like boobs again)
So much of our relationship works, and so much doesn’t. Sometimes I think it is our "love signs" that are working against us. In fact, once we were in Borders and we looked inside some huge book titled exactly that — "Love Signs." We looked up the compatibility of Pisces (me) and Aquarius (Sophia). The author wrote something like this:
"No self-respecting astrologer would wish this romantic arrangement, even on their worst enemy. Your emotional rhythms and temperaments are rather different. Pisces is gentle, non-competitive, somewhat passive and has a need to get away from it all on a regular basis. Aquarius, on the other hand, needs involvement in the world and the flow of contemporary life. This is NOT a match made in heaven."
We didn’t fare much better in Chinese astrology. One book suggested that Sophia should be in a cool room and should sleep facing north, while I need a warm room and must sleep facing south.
The scary thing is that many of these details about our relationship rang true.
I’ve been looking at some astrological websites today, trying to learn more about this subject. It is not good news for Sophia and me. Romantic-tips.com had this to say:
PISCES & AQUARIUS: – This is not the best union. The Water-bearer is far too cool and detached for you. Your tears and tantrums will soon tire the Aquarius.
AQUARIUS & PISCES: – This is a pretty dicey combination. The Fish’s emotional blackmail only drives you further away. The Pisces is likely to end up hurt and confused.
Uh-oh.
Maybe it’s time to just accept the logic of the stars. Maybe it’s time to focus on finding a woman who is better suited for me.
Yes. What I am really looking for is a SCORPIO.
PISCES & SCORPIO: – This is a highly sexual union. You love to be possessed and cared for with the deep, warm affection that the Scorpion can provide. Truly a match made in heaven.
Are any of you Scorpios out there? Because if you are, we need to talk, immediately.
Here’s how I would get along with the rest of you.
PISCES & ARIES: – You are far too sensitive for the aggressive Ram. You will be left behind to drown in your sorrows. An unfortunate match.
PISCES & TAURUS: – This is not a bad connection, however the Bull can get upset with your impractical nature. You, on the other hand, may find that the Bull is too stubborn.
PISCES & GEMINI: – Your emotional blackmail will usually hold a Gemini, however sorrow almost always prevails. A very destructive union for both parties involved.
PISCES & CANCER: – You belong together. You are both sensitive, weepy and love to dwell in self-pity. This is a great match, certainly lasting, however someone negative and moody.
PISCES & LEO: – You are doomed in this alliance. The Lion is too outgoing and you are far too sensitive. A hurtful relationship with little substance.
PISCES & VIRGO: – This is your polar attraction. It can be extremely perverse in the bedroom, but difficult at a mental level. You are impractical and this will really try the Virgoans patience.
PISCES & LIBRA: – You are both creatively inclined, however you are just not sophisticated enough for the Scales. Librans also have trouble putting up with your emotional whims.
PISCES & SCORPIO: – This is a highly sexual union. You love to be possessed and cared for with the deep, warm affection that the Scorpion can provide. Truly a match made in heaven.
PISCES & SAGITTARIUS: – This is not your best alliance as the Archer’s non-committal nature will hurt your tender heart. Your daily melodramas will drive the Sagittarius away.
PISCES & CAPRICORN: – This is not a bad combo in general however, you will probably run around on the Goat due to loneliness. You are also too wasteful for the Capricorn to deal with.
PISCES & AQUARIUS: – This is not the best union. The Water-bearer is far too cool and detached for you. Your tears and tantrums will soon tire the Aquarius.
PISCES & PISCES: – This is an emotional connection. Extremely good in the bedroom, but difficult out of the bedroom. You both crave attention and affection yet you want to do your own thing. Exhausting but exciting.
Here is the full list of all zodiac signs and their compatibility. It is very important that you see where you stand with your spouse or lover. This is a very classy and legitimate website, as you can tell from the tons of advertisements blinking in your face. After you read about the state of your zodiac love connection, some of you may want to leave your spouse NOW before it is too late.
Not to be unfair, I looked up Sophia, and according to the stars, she should be looking for an Aries for a relationship (hopefully a rich one) and a Sagittarius for sex.
Neil, sometimes you just can’t win. I am a Virgo. I keep falling in love with Pisces. I’ve given up but I still read my horoscope everyday – from three different sources.
I dated a scorpio, they are such drama queens. I have no patience for them.
This is probably my most depressing post. Half of the woman I fantasize about are being eliminated by the zodiac, like contestants not getting roses on “The Bachelor.” Damn you twinkling, twinkling stars in the sky!
Lucky Stars, I’m Gemini & hubby is Aries: “This is one of your best matches. You both have a high energy, a thirst for adventure and spontaneity. Passionate, sudden and compelling this union can last.” Thanks for sharing!
I don’t take much stock in the zodiac signs but in this regard it was dead-on correct.
Me-Gemini, my ex-Capricorn –apparently the doom was to be expected. Very interesting
I’m Gemini, why would you make me sorrowful with emotional blackmail???? That’s just MEAN! I’m telling your mother.
Oh poo, TCB (Virgo) and I (Libra) are totally incompatible. Something about his practicality not giving me enough of something I need. Hmmm, you know, that’s not really all that off base…
This crazy Russian woman was cutting my hair once and asked what my sign was. When I told her I was a scorpio snd immediately stopped cutting my hair, stepped away and then walked back shaking her head muttering, “I feel bad for you, for you and your wife.” So I had sex with her.
Sorry, Neil…but sounds like I’m way too sophisticated for you! (at least that’s what it says – I’m a Libra). I’m not sure how much stock I put into the whole astrological thing. I do know that many things it says about my zodiac sign are true, but who knows? I should look up my parents’ signs – they’ve been married 57 years and are the best couple I know. Anywho…the old girl’s married to a Capricorn (which is supposed to be a horrible match for me as well! Go figure!)
I hope you don’t mind but I linked to your blog entry and quoted from it. You made me think about the man I’m currently dating and whether or not we’re compatible. Whatever it says about us, it’s too late for me. I’ve already fallen.
Hey Neil – great post!
I’m a gemini, my husband is a Pisces. Supposedly, the Leo I was married to the first time around should have been a better match…go figure.
so apparently, thanks to your illuminating link, i have realized that i may be a cold-hearted, insensitive jerk.
though when you look at my chinese “year” (dog) i’m loyal and dependable.
it’s just too much. i can’t handle all the contradiction…
You & I just can’t work – evidently you are just not sophisticated enough for me. It’s a shame, too, because now that I see that my hub and I are not at all compatible either, I suppose I’m in the market….
I’m a Pisces, my best experience have been with Scorpios…until things go bad. But before that, it’s great. Do you know any hot Scorpio men for me?
Pants — famous Scorpios:
Johnny Carson, Kevin Kline, Pablo Picasso, Pat Sajak, Hillary Clinton, Teddy Roosevelt, Emily Post, Sylvia Plath, Jonas Salk, Bill Gates, Ezra Pound, Henry Winkler, Winona Ryder, Dan Rather, Marie Antoinette, Pat Buchanan, Burt Lancaster, Roseanne, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Leon Trotsky, Albert Camus, Billy Graham, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Demi Moore, Auguste Rodin, Grace Kelly, Prince Charles, Joseph McCarthy, Martin Scorcese, Bo Derek, Voltaire, Goldie Hawn.
Okay, Neil, I think after 64 comments, it’s time to choose.
I’m Capricorn and apparently need to find a scorpio with whom to superbly dance sexually.
Cruisin — I don’t mind the husband hanging around, but is he handy with tools? Because I don’t know what a hammer looks like.
Ah, yes, we sags can be finiky can’t we? Gosh darn it – I have a hard enough time with myown sign, but to have to deal with 11 other signs and thier attitudes? Eh.
Am a Gemini…. I read my horoscope at the end of the day… whenever I happen to read it in the morning I tend to do or act the way it said I’d do…
Yesterday’s said I was at the top in romance, they forgot to say who i was supposed to be romancing with, Mr. Invisible?
Fitèna
Neil…this really IS your lucky day…my husband can not only fix ANYTHING…he’s a nice Jewish boy to boot. Won’t that make Mom Kramer happy?
Cruisin –
It’s a deal!
My thirtieth bithday is this month…I’m praying for a steamy threesome with Pat Sajak and Hillary Clinton.
Pants, why does that sound strangely erotic? Pat Sajak can even “spin the final wheel” for you.
I am a Scorpio, but it’s not like you would care, anyway, seeing as you DELETED ME FROM YOUR BLOGROLL (probably because I do not have large bosoms).
See, and here I was thinking about flirting with you and you’ve got to be another freakin’ Pisces.
I’ll confirm that Aquarian women don’t do well with Pisces men. You’d do best to end it and save yourself more heartbreak.
Exciting stuff.
I am a Scorpio girl, with large boobs and I also study astrology, happened upon this chat by accident.
Just to clarify …….. you are all talking about your star sign or sun sign, now for the science you all have about another 10 parts to your birth chart which you in all liklihood are not aware of, each planet in your birthchart was in a different star sign on the day you were both (E.G. The Sun, the moon, mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, bla, bla, bla) so you could be living under the disguise of a pisces but could be something completely different beneath the surface in all your other plants. The sun represents your star sign, or the way others see you, your moon represents your emotions, the inner you, mercury is the way you communicate, venus is your relationships and mars your temper…!
Neil – tell me when you were born and the year and I’ll confirm just what signs are in you.
PS. I have never dated a pisces
PPS. I have dated a scorpio, we had a fantastic time in bed, but brought out the negative points in each other, as we mirrored them in each other.
Read Sextrology by Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox. It’s eerily accurate astrology with a psychological twist. It also includes a compatibility segment.
Nats and W – thanks for the Astrology info!
Hi, I am a scorpio female ,dating for 2 years, a pisces male. Interesting combination, and I will let you in on a little secret, if you love someone like we love each other, the sex truly is amazing!! Find your scorpio soulmate, you won’t regret it! But keep in mind scorpio women are very jealous!
Well i’m a scorpion, and am dating a delicious capricorn man, 4 yrs. younger actually, but this came after my
peaceable breakup with my ex cancer luv,we lasted a yr. and a half. cuz i didn’t wanna have kids. cancers are domestic lovas, but as for my cap, there’s alot more to our relat. then just dancing sexually superbly, well his venus is in scorpio as well as mine.pisces can be a lil too boring and like to play a cat and mouse game with scorps, pisces and aquarius are the best match!
I’m a scorp and I love to read my scope and check out what the rest of the astrology world has to say about my current relationship. Just got out of a 7yr relationship with an Aries and although we had a hell of a lot a spice in the bedroom we were quick to put each others fire out in all other aspects. I’m currently dating a Pisces and it’s amazing, we just blend together and he knows how to draw me out and make me my laugh which is oh so important… oh and the sex makes my head spin! That should give you a little taste of what it would be like with a scorp… don’t even bother getting dressed, the clothes will be flying off in seconds!! :p
Scorpio woman here…and to all you men searching for a scorpio woman…STOP! A real scorpio woman knows the man she wants when she sees him….
Aquarius woman here…
OK – I think you may want to look at the ascendant signs (your outward masks) and your moon signs (emotional behaviors) before totally giving up. Your sun sign is how you see yourself – your ego, if you will. So, here is my point: My ego is Aquarius. My outward appearance is Libra. My moon is Scorpio. Lots of sex, inner-conflict and intellectual sparring. Basically, a female version of Bronte’s Heathcliff. My poor, poor boyfriend… I’ll bet you are just a bit more curious about Sophia’s other signs now – you should be
Good evening Neil…I’m a Scorpio woman with a Taurus full moon.
All too funny. I am so above this.
(Psst… over here. now that no one is looking. I’m a Taurus but I have a Cancer rising. You and I are a great match, based on that…see? I can be as contemplative as I want, while you’re watching Oprah.)
Hilarious…I was just killing time when I happened upon your site. Very interesting since I was checking out compatibilites between the signs…seems my true love would be found in a Cancer, Pisces, or my polar opposite a Taurus…FYI: I’m a scorpio.
way back in this blog someone said to read sextrology by stella starsky + quinn cox. i quite agree. have you seen this book. it blows away any other book on the subject. it’s really smart…and then really quite down and dirty. and so ridiculously on target it will freak you out. it has become an obsession amongst my friends. quite an amazing read.
Scorpio women aren’t difficult to find, we are the crazy psycho ones. I am also friends with several other scorpio’s so I can say that we are all crazy truthfully. I’m a closet believer in astrology, however, I’m a stubborn scorpio, so I ALWAYS try to prove the impossible, which throws off the demographic. You see, I’m married to an Aries (for 11 years). Everyone has the ability to change their fate…you just need to make it happen, despite the stars.
GIVE IT UP TAKE ALL THE OTHERS ADVICE YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH A BROKEN HEART BEING WITH A SCORP THERE STING LEAVES A MARK FOR A LIFETIME NOV 1,1972 GOOD LUCK WISH YOU WELL
Hi, I’m a Pisces too, and my girlfriend is a Scorpio. It’s simply incredible… I don’t know about my planets, moon and stuff, just only that my sun is in the fishes.
I think this is one of the best (if not THE best) sex combination: both of us very hot…2 water signs boiling anytime, anywhere…
Sometimes I think the world would be very nice if everyone had sex like ours, hehe.
I forgot our birthdays, maybe you can help me with the charts or stuff:
Me: March 6, 1975, 9PM.
She: Oct 30, 1978, I don’t know the time.
I AM SCORPIO….. TYPICAL ONE AT THAT!! HMMMMMMM TALL, DARK, LONG BLACK HAIR, HAZEL EYES….. I DNT KNOW…. WAT DO YOU THINK NEIL??? IM SEEING A GUY WHO’S PISCES HEHE ILL SEE HOW IT DOES AND LET YOU KNOW!!! THERES PLENTLY OF HOT SCORPIO WOMAN OUT THERE AND YOU CAN SEE THEM A MILE AWAY!!! BEST OF LUCK NEIL….. MWAH
as a sexy scorpio woman ..i totally agree….pisces and scorpio are a great match. there is much truth to this stuff. so….i could use one of you pisces sweetie pies for myself…..
Hey Neil
I am a scorpio woman…I’m not going to be conceited and call myself HOT but I will reiterate that I AM a scoprio
anyway just wanted to say that we really DO exhist!
Hello, i just wanted to comment on this Pisces/Aquarius union. I smiled when I read this because I just married my Pisces. I am an aquarius female and I am pretty deep into the astrology thang. But I had to go against it and follow my heart. If you want wild sex and lots of it, go for the Scorpio. If you love friendship, loyalty, and true love stay with that Aquarius! It really just depends on what’s most important to you.
My two pence worth….Right me and my last girlfreind were apperently a perfect match, I’m a scopio and she was a Picies – so apperently perfect. We hated each others guts! We lasted two weeks before she became obsessive over me, and wanted to know my every move! Star sign’s are all crap In my opinion. If you like someone, then give them a go. Don’t avoid them because there star sign is “Incompatable”. Thats just being plain paranoid. Just my two pence worth
I am a scorpio woman. Unfortunatly, I can’t tell you why astrology is so accurate, it just is. I have actually dated several pisces, and the match was pretty good. Yet I found that they lived more in a dream world than reality. Meaning, they were waiting for their musical carreers to take off instead of trying to hold down a real job. And that, to the hard working scorpio, is unacceptable.
And just so you know, we scorpios are the nymphos of the zodiac. We’re in very high demand………
Well I previously wrote a comment about being with a capricorn, called him a cap drug, but he’s Poison, broke my heart it’s such a sad case, broke up 3 days before our 1 yr. anniversary and before my birthday!!
Scorpios stay away from EARTH signs such as Virgos and Caps, Stick with the water signs, my ex who is a cancer still stood by me and helped dry the tears from my eyes after this heartbreaker couldn’t handle academic stress and giving me a chance to adjust my insecurities. We live and learn!
Why do people get so worked up about what star signs go with what?! It’s all crap in my opinion! I’m a scorpio and I was seeing a Picses (I can’t spell) for a little while, well the “Perfect match” yea? What aload of shit, me and her hated each other, we never got on or anything! Who gives a flying fuck what date you were born on etc…..If you and your partner get on thats all that matters…Sometimes people read way to much into all this crap! And Scorpio women hot!? I’ve known some which are just the ugliest of ugliest people! Treat you like shit yet still expect you to kiss there ass! I’m not a typical Scorpio and I’m proud of it! The few I’ve known are just bastards! So to summarise….It’s all bollocks..Who gives a fuck what star sign you are? If you and your Bf/Gf get on, THEN HAVE SEX AND LIVE TOGETHER AND STOP SEEING IF YOUR COMPATABLE! And, Scorpio’s are easily offended or upset, regardless of what they say/do! So don’t let ‘em scare you or upset you….My say, all over
I am a single Pisces guy – divorced from an Aqurius and your analysis is exact. Pisces needs to stay with other water signs, Cancer and Scorpio, but I have had better luck with Cancers. Scorpio women want to control too much and this frustrates the never get too uptight Pisces.
