When you walk past your astro-opposite, it can feel like you\u2019re iron filings and they\u2019re the magnet, and you\u2019re pulled irresistibly into their orbit. Whether that\u2019s a good thing or a bad thing varies wildly.<\/p>\n
True, people who were born in the sign opposite yours\u2014for Aries and Libra, or Scorpio and Taurus for example\u2014seem to be able to pick up your slack, so to speak, to balance your weaknesses, as you can for them, whether it\u2019s in business or romance. But\u2026 unless there are other places in your astrology that create simpatico, it can\u2014also because you\u2019re opposite\u2014be very hard to understand or relate comfortably to them. The pairing of opposites<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0offers one of the most intense and effective cauldrons of personal growth available in human experience. But it requires commitment and a willingness to invest time, energy and effort to benefit. And in intimate relationships it can require love as well.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, unlike the days when marriages were contracted for economic, political or dynastic reasons, and were literally \u201ctill death do you part,\u201d<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0today\u2019s relationship culture makes it all too easy to simply get going when the going gets tough.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in love with or working with your astro anti-soulmate, how can you make it work?<\/p>\n Aries and Libra<\/strong> \u2013 Aries provides get-up-and-go and knows just what to do. Libra sees all sides and wants to reflect carefully, and even then postpone decisions. The archetypal masculine and feminine energies, action versus reflection, represented by Aries and Libra, no matter which sex occupies either sign, can fuel a smokin\u2019 hot love affair. However, longer term relationships require real commitment and work. You either complete or compete.<\/p>\n Taurus and Scorpio<\/strong> \u2013 Both Taurus and Scorpio are famously stubborn and possessive, but they seem to be irresistible to each other, and usually they make it last. Make no mistake, this would never be a cozy, peaceful relationship, largely because Scorpio loves drama while Taurus wants predictability. However, the intensely sexual nature of both signs, coupled with Taurus\u2019 innate calm and Scorpio\u2019s passionate intensity usually creates an powerfully magnetic, unbreakable bond.<\/p>\n Gemini and Sagittarius<\/strong> \u2013 Impulsiveness and restlessness are likely to be the breaking point\u2014or the ingredients of a shatterproof bond\u2014for this pair. While together they value variety and change, thrive on freedom in their relationship, sparkle with fun and humor, and share very stimulating conversations, it\u2019s rare for either Gemini or Sagittarius to realize\u2014at least until they\u2019re older and had some hard knocks\u2014just how rare and precious this true partner in adventure is.<\/p>\n Cancer and Capricorn<\/strong> \u2013 Cancer wants a safe and stable home; Capricorn loves to build to last, and knows just how to provide what Cancer needs. A match made in heaven? Well, it really depends on whether the Cancer can be fulfilled with Capricorn\u2019s practical style of loving, which can seem cold to some\u2026 and if the Capricorn can be patient with Cancer\u2019s sensitivity and neediness. A mature Cancer who can express their needs, and value what Capricorn loves to give, could make it work.<\/p>\n Leo and Aquarius<\/strong> \u2013 If you find yourself in this hot pairing, prepare to be both intrigued and frustrated. Leo is all about creativity and self-expression, and Leos love their drama and want to be pampered. The more detached Aquarius is probably the least likely of all signs to indulge in pampering, or emotional drama, because they\u2019re busy saving the world. The key is harness Leo\u2019s creativity and Aquarius\u2019 originality, but in any case this is a tough one over the long haul.<\/p>\n Virgo and Pisces \u2013<\/strong> Again, these opposites fascinate each other, although this is most often successful as a business or professional partnership, where Pisces is in charge of the creativity and Virgo the practicality. Pisces in love is happy to have Virgo worry about day to day stuff early on, but Virgo\u2019s tendency to nag when frustrated gets old really fast. And although Virgo can be surprisingly passionate and sensual, Pisces\u2019 sexual experiments can go way beyond a Virgo\u2019s boundaries.<\/p>\n But when all\u2019s said and done, it\u2019s important to remember that a person\u2019s astrology only represents the character-creating circumstances present at their birth. There\u2019s an individual soul at the center of every astrological chart, and in the end it\u2019s that soul who determines what each individual is willing and able to invest in your relationship<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
