Well, this is what it’s all about, isn’t it? For millennia, astrologers have devoted lifetimes to correlating planetary positions to events on Earth, and dispensed advice on every type of development, from farmers eager to learn the fortune of their crop, to rulers desperate to know if the time is right to invade a neighbor.

Through it all, the charts most consistently consulted to answer the most poignant of human dilemmas: who is the best to share my life, and will I be happy with the lover I’ve found? In other words, is he Mr. Right-or Mr. One Night?

The chemistry of the Zodiac can be a great guide early in an encounter; not only is astrology a great way to start a conversation, but reviewing your attributes together can be a way to quickly decide if you should run off for a deeper exploration, or stick around in hopes of finding a better fit.
