Zodiac Couple Case Studies(1)

Over the years, I have turned to Astrology more and more in an attempt to get a better understanding of who  I am as a person. I have also found that Astrology helps me understand my interactions with others in a friendship context as well as a romantic one. While I admit to putting a lot of weight into Astrological theory about human interaction, I also acknowledge that every human is different and you cannot put someone into a complete box just based on their birthday. This is why having a complete reading of your birth chart is important as it gives you a more accurate look at your personality. Anyway, I was curious to see how accurate relationship matches were solely based on a couples sun signs. I asked two women and one man to choose two past partners and give me their birthdays so I could analyze their relationships based on their sun signs. I tailored each pairings questions to their specific sun signs. While nobody was a 100% bulls eye in theory, I was told that analyzing their relationships in this way helped  them understand past troubles they might have had within these relationships. Questions are in bold, the persons answers are in blue. Please note that the person answering each question has their name underlined. First up, my dear friend Rebecca.



Rebecca and Moy (Gemini and Gemini)

1. It is believed that when two Geminis get together it really is like four people coming together (Gemini is represented by the Twins). Would you agree? I’d have to say that it was really only 3. I had high and energetic highs and pretty low lows, but he was always stable. It may have been one of the things that drew me to him in the first place. 
2. Gemini is all about freedom and variety of expression, did you feel like you enjoyed this in your relationship? I did enjoy this relationship, but we were also only sophomores in high school. I feel like I got my freedom of expression in my extracurricular in school, not so much from the relationship.
3. It has been said that Geminis  love to toss back and forth tidbits of playful banter, sarcasm and occasional ironic cynicism, but that this can make taking the relationship seriously a problem. Was this the case for you? I did this a lot with my other friends but not so much with him. He was very sensitive and attentive and I didn’t ever want to unintentionally hurt him. I think we each took the relationship as seriously as we could for being 16 and together for a year. There were no scandals and it wasn’t on and off again either. 
4. Apparently, the best aspect of the Gemini-Gemini relationship is the enormous amount of intellectual energy and stimulation they provide one another. Because of this they are able to save one another from leading a mundane existence. Did you find that this was true in your relationship? I can honestly say that I very much enjoyed the conversations we would have, and we never ran out of things to say. We would often talk about current events and differences in musicians and where we thought they would be in 5 years and why. 
5. Geminis find it hard to trust each other. Was this the case for you and Moy? No, I don’t think so. I was outgoing and extroverted, and he was very much not. We knew this going into things and I always drug him and his friends along and included him on whatever I was doing. I think we never had a reason to distrust each other…until we did and then it was gone.
6. On the compatibility scale, the Gemini-Gemini match receives a score of 99% in communication and intellect. Would you find this accurate?  I would say this is accurate. We really only had problems after breaking up and even now we will catch up every once in a while, and there’s no bad blood there. So even when there was a problem (a jealous faux redhead who came up to my shoulders), after that person was out of the picture we were able to mend the friendship.
7. Why did you break up? My family hasn’t been the best or most supportive. So for me, my friends have always been my family, and I’ve always been fiercely supportive of them. There was a period where two of my girlfriends were going through break ups at the same time, and coping with alcohol and drug use. I would “babysit” them after school and make sure that they didn’t do anything dumber than they already were, and that they didn’t get arrested or die somehow. He got jealous and broke up with me because I had “too many friends.” He was an introvert and while he had acquaintances, I had FRIENDS. I don’t think he understood that then. A few days later he apologized and wanted me back but the damage had been done. I couldn’t trust him anymore. We went from totally fine at the beginning of the day to broken up by 4 pm. 
8. Who initiated the breakup? He did.
9. Do you feel like you were a good match? I feel like we were for then. I don’t think we would have made it long term. My friends still hold a high priority in my life, as does my partner. But I need someone who understands that and respects it. I wasn’t about to be made to feel bad about what I consider one of my best qualities. I also think that I need someone who can put me back on track, whether I’m being bratty and need to be knocked down a peg, or I’m down and need to be reminded of how strong I am, and while I think he was really good at the latter, I don’t think he would ever be able to tell me a bad truth about myself.
10. The Gemini-Gemini relationship score is given an 89% positive overall rating. Given your experience, what score would you give this relationship out of 100? I would say this relationship was around an 90% positive rating just because of the way it ended. Otherwise there were no actual issues in the relationship, because again we were 16.

In my opinion, although not every Gemini-Gemini prediction fit Rebecca and Moy's relationship 100% I think there was a lot of crossover in terms of problem areas for this pair. The energy and stimulation was there, in fact it seemed to have been the strongest part of their relationship. At the beginning there was trust, but as predicted towards the end the trust simply was not there. As in a lot of Gemini-Gemini relationships jealousy was a major issue and, although Rebecca says she was the one with two personalities, I would have to say so was Moy. Rebecca being the kind soul that she is gave the relationship a 90% rating based on how it ended. Rebecca was sociable and valued friendship. Moy was a loner who wanted acquaintances and one intimate partner over many friends. Gemini-Gemini success all depends on their ideals and what they want for their life, I would not recommend a Gemini-Gemini match unless the two are more similar than different.

Rebecca and Josh (Gemini and Libra)

1. There are few zodiac pairings so delightfully balanced that neither partner feels shortchanged at any point luckily for you, the Gemini woman and the Libra man are one of these couples, at least in theory. Do you believe this is true? I actually do believe this is true. I feel lucky to have him in my life and just last night he spontaneously said he’s glad he met me. 
2. Being that both Gemini and Libra are air signs this actually solves many common issues with matches where one partner has more demanding emotional needs and suffers over time than the other. Would you say this is your experience in this relationship? Well, I think we’re equally needy and we balance each other out well. When we say sweet things to each other it’s equally likely to receive a “You’re so clingy” as an “I miss you too.” We’re also good at reading the situation, so we don’t have “you hurt my feelings” talks over those messages cause we know it’s all in banter. We each have our own mental health issues, and I feel that we are able to support each other well through them and because of them. 
3.  The ideal partner for a Gemini is someone who will allow her to explore and experience the world around her without becoming upset, oppressive, or overprotective, do you believe Josh fits the bill? I absolutely do. Josh has never been controlling and even though he doesn’t like loud and crowded places, he doesn’t mind me going with my friends and actually encourages it. He’s very supportive with school and work and has always encouraged me to follow my heart and do what would make me happy. 
4. Apparently intimate relationships can take some time to occur between Gemini and Libra because Libra longs for heavy romance that often doesn't cross Gemini's mind. Was/is this true? Why or why not? I tend to know right away when I like someone. Although I liked him when I met him online, when we had our first date he was too affectionate for me, and we had a talk about it. He agreed to wait and let me come to him and we were very successful in that way. I’d say while we both wanted a long term relationship, I was open to moving faster than he was but now we’re equally excited for the future. 
5. Gemini and Libra score a 95% on trust. How would you score yourselves on trust? I’d say we’re right about there if not higher. I feel we’re both very loyal people and even when we broke up for a few months, he was still one of my confidants even though I was going out and dancing, I informed him and he was very understanding that I was moving on and letting him go. He never tried to make me feel guilty or hurt me, and vice versa.
6. On the compatibility scale, the Gemini-Libra match receives a score of 60% in communication and intellect. Would you find this accurate? I would say we’re far better at communicating than that. I’d say the crown jewel of our relationship has been our fantastic ability to communicate. One of my favorite things to do with him is debate politics because even though we’re usually very similar on our views, there’s usually fine details that we disagree on. We’ve gotten into debates over the dinner table but they’re always respectful and neither of us ever feel degraded, and it never ends in a screaming match. It’s refreshing that we can disagree on things without it affecting our view on one another. One of the things that attracts me to him in the first place was how smart and well read he is. I, on the other hand have more tactical everyday intellect, and I feel we’re able to learn a lot from each other that way. 
7. Do you feel like you are a good match? I feel like we’re a great match. We’re both clean without being anal about it. We’re both snarky without being mean about it. Clingy without being obsessive or over the top about it. I focus a lot on mental health and he focuses a lot on physical health. I feel like we have a lot to learn from each other and what’s even better is we both appreciate it. Neither of us looks at the other and says “I’m better than you cause I know more about X,” and we each enjoy teaching the other and learning as well. 
8. Gemini and Libra score an 85% in shared activities, meaning they are expected to like a lot of the same activities. What score would you give the Gemini-Libra match? Why? This one is tricky. While we do enjoy a lot of the same activities, we found them after meeting. I started playing ukulele and showed him and he bought his own ukulele. He liked Yu-Gi-Oh and I had an old set so we started playing. We both like video games and movies and we both LOVE animals and have rescued and housed a few together. I feel like we’ve shared our interests with each other and we’ve been open to enjoying it. If we hadn’t met I doubt Josh would have ever picked up a ukulele. 
9. We could say that neither Gemini or Libra are very emotional, but Libra is ruled by Venus, so there is a strong link to an emotional pain there.They can remain detached and distant, unless Libra falls in love deeply enough to follow their Gemini partner wherever they go. Has this happened in your Gemini-Libra pairing? I suppose I could say it has. He was depressed for the first year and a half of our relationship, but now that he’s seeing a therapist and is on medication, he’s so unabashedly affectionate. I love it, and although I loved him before, it’s so much easier to love him now, and love him even more. 
10. The Gemini-Libra relationship score is given a 78% positive overall rating. Given your experience, what score would you give this relationship out of 100? Since the only problems in our relationship are my racist father and his depression, I’d give us a solid 95%. It would have been 97% if he hadn’t broken up with me 😉 And if we had all the money in the world and could live together with a billion animals, we’d be 100 in my honest opinion.

As theorized Rebecca does not feel short changed with her current Libra partner. Because they are both equally dealing with emotional issues they are able to balance each other out and have used their mutual understanding of emotional turmoil to prop each other up. Although her Libra did experience emotional detachment, he got help and they are stronger and better for it. Because Josh also gives Rebecca the freedom to be her Gemini self, while also giving her the support she needs her free spirit is not a problem for his reservedness. As indicated by Gemini-Libra match theory, it took some time for these two to get on the same page intimacy wise. But because her Libra was able to step back, and let her set the pace, they are in an amazing spot intimacy wise. I think what fuels the success is both of their desires to make it work. As a Gemini, Rebecca requires a relationship that has a strong foundation of trust, Josh has clearly given that to her and this very much contributes to their success. Based on shared interest, strong levels of trust and intimacy, and the mutual respect they have for each other, I am inclined to recommend the Gemini-Libra match.


What do you think? Do you think my analysis of Rebecca's relationships is accurate? Is there a question I should have asked that I left out? Would you like me to analyze one of your past or current relationships? Let me know. Also, please stay tuned for part two, which should be live shortly. As always friends, thank you for reading.
