"Some astrologers have expressed the idea that signs right next to each other in the zodiac wheel tend to have a certain affinity with each other by, if nothing else, proximity."

I would definitely say this is true, or at least has been for me. I get along with Gemini's really, really well, and have had at least one really, really good Leo friend, so for me it's definitely panned out.

As far as moon signs, I feel like I've read before that if having the same moon sign as your partners sun sign makes you very compatible, or at least a moon sign that is compatible with their sun sign. I guess the idea there is that your emotional sign will relate well with their "external appearance" sign, and therefore know how to deal with it innately.

yep, same Moon is supposedly one of the greatest aspects for marriage, cuz they feel very comfortable sharing the same home. As are the trine and sextile, to a lesser degree.

lol! That is funny :) Well it's kind of like me with not meeting any Scorpios that I know of haha :D At least not in person.. besides my little 6 yr old Scorpio cousin, but he doesn't count lol. I've met quite a few Cancers though :) And there's a lot of Cancers in my family too.

Though i don't know what had to do with what, if anything astrologically, one of the most palpable & beautiful feeling connections I started to experience was with a woman who was born with a Cancer sun & Gemini moon.

We met in a class together, and ended up enjoying each others company, talking & emailing a bit. She was, and as far as i know still is, married to another scorpio sun man. Suffice to say we ended up developing an emotional connection which could have created some complications with her marriage. She soon after moved back north to Canada where she was from, though we stayed in touch through many emails, phone calls and a couple letters.
Eventually though, I felt uncomfortable with continuing relating together as there felt to be some level of related deceit or withholding from her husband about the quality of feelings which seemed to have emerged between us. That was simply not something I wanted to be a part of or contribute to. And it felt off center in a way that did not feel comfortable to me, to relate with someone who would lie through omission to someone they supposedly cared for enough to be married or relate to. As much as I felt very deep affection, affinity, love & friendship with & for her and our connection.

Sighhh....... I still feel & think about her, miss her sometimes. Even have had some intense dreams with her in them as lately as a week ago. The love still exists. Just situational complexities sometimes alter the practical levels of relating differently than our hearts or minds might prefer, it seems.?


Perhaps there was something in the combination of her watery Cancerian sun, Gemini Moon & Scorpio Ascendent and my own watery Scorpio sun, Gemini Moon & Pisces Ascendent?
Certainly at an elemental level that is a pretty harmonious blending. And it felt that way to me with her energetically, emotionally & mentally.

Mike, how long have you been married, if you are open to sharing? How did you meet each other?
Hmmmn, that inspires a thoughts of a thread on how we have met and eventually become more involved with past & present lovers, intimate companions.?
