1. Stop caring about zodiac signs. They don’t matter.
2. Approach the potential relationship with the same enthusiasm, interest, and kindness that you would any other.
(I have half a mind to just stop here, but allow me to explain myself.)
Zodiac signs have never interested me more than Buzzfeed quizzes or internet personality assessments. Maybe this is because I don’t really understand the appeal of inviting an outside force to influence my behavior, maybe it’s because I’m too much of a 72-year-old woman at heart to be cool enough to “get” it. I just take them with an entire shaker full of salt.
I also find the "solution" to this “problem” glaringly simple. If you’re going to approach a relationship assuming it will succeed or fail based on something outside of the two individuals directly involved, it will absolutely go down the wrong path. Successful dating is about a lot of things: figuring out what you want, figuring out what you can give, passion, what the other person needs and gives, and reciprocation, to name a few. It isn’t about whether she’s a Gemini or he’s a Taurus. It isn’t about whether or not the stars (or more likely, a semi-shady webpage) says you’re clearly soulmates. Relationships are about honesty, communication, and empathy. What you bring to the relationship as your own person is what matters, whether a star sign confirms those traits and values or not.
So… relax. Don’t let the zodiac make choices for you. Just be a kind, open-minded human being, and date who you want to date!
