It may be a cliché when a guy asks “What’s your sign?” But it may hold the key to your happily ever after. If you know a guy’s sign before you date him, you might have a clue whether or not you will get along through astrology love compatibility.

What signs are compatible?

You have probably heard of your sun sign, right? People are born under 12 different sun signs. Those born into a common sun sign share several basic physical and personality features in common.

12 sun sign birth periods

  • Aries: March 20th – April 20th
  • Taurus: April 20th – May 21st
  • Gemini: May 21st – June 21st
  • Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd
  • Leo: July 22nd – August 23rd
  • Virgo: August 23rd – September 23rd
  • Libra: September 23rd – October 23rd
  • Scorpio: October 23rd – November 22nd
  • Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21s
  • Capricorn: December 21st – January 20th
  • Aquarius: Janaury 20th – February 19th
  • Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

If you are interested in finding Mr. Right, determine which sign is most likely to be compatible with your own. By finding the sign that complements your own, you are more likely to get along.

How do you figure out the sign that may complement your own?

To start, you ascertain which natural element your sign belongs. Not only are there twelve signs in the zodiac, but these are also divided into four other groups that contain three signs a piece. The four groups are known as the elements of nature, Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

If your sign belongs to the Fire element it is called a Fire sign. The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Most fire signs are known to be enthusiastic and active people.

Those signs belonging to the Earth element and are known as Earth signs. If you are an Earth sign, you would be a Taurus, a Virgo, or a Capricorn. Most Earth signs are known to be stable and practical.

If your sign is an Air element, it would be known as an Air sign. The Air signs include Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. If you are an air sign, more than likely you are a communicator and extremely intellectual.

The last three signs are known to be Water signs and belong to the Water element. The Water signs include Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Water signs are more emotional and intuitive than the other three elements.

So when considering a potential Mr. Right’s sign, you need to find a sign whose birth sign is of the element that complements your own. Only then can you be sure to achieve true astrology love compatibility.

For example, if you are an Aries, you would be a Fire sign. You should really pursue a relationship with an Air sign like a Gemini or Libra. If you think about it, fire, in nature, needs oxygen, or air, to burn. In turn, what do you do to warm the air? You build a fire!

Think about the elements of nature again. A Fire sign does not work as well with an Earth or Water sign. If you throw Earth (or dirt) on a fire, it snuffs out the fire. Likewise, when you throw water on a fire, it puts out the fire.

Other elements that blend well together are Earth and Water signs. Earth signs need water to grow and flourish.

Now, astrological compatibility is much more complicated than this article spells out. These are truly basic rules of thumb. To find Mr. Right through astrology, you need to have an entire astrology compatibility chart ran on you both. So, instead of asking what’s your sign, ask what’s your birthday, birth time and birth city. This will give you the ability to compare your charts and be on your way to astrology love compatibility.

Can Keeping A Food Log Help You Lose Weight???

Research has proven time and time again that keeping a food log increases weight loss success by 60-70%. Unless you know your successes, your pitfalls, your weaknesses, or just plain old bad habits- it’s hard to change them. Seeing your food detailed throughout the day gives you a great picture of what you need to work on, right? Then why do so many people balk at keeping logs

Unfortunately, one of the biggest issues my clients have in keeping logs is finding the time to do them. Yes, I know, excuses, excuses. But some may be valid- as keeping a detailed food log takes time and planning, and doing a log for weeks on end can be challenging. So, in an effort to find easier ways for my clients to be successful in journaling, and to offset excuses, excuses, I sometimes will ask the client to tailor the log to their specific issues.

Initially, I always ask them to do whole day, detailed logs for three days to one week to assess the problems. Then, once problems are identified, we tailor the logs more specifically. For example, if day time eating has been shown to be healthy, but night time is problematic, I will ask my clients to do a food log just from 4pm on. This is so much more doable- and lessens the likelihood of finding an excuse not to do it. Or, if unconscious snacking is a problem, but meals are not, I ask the client to write down every snack they eat that is not during a meal. This simplifies and amplifies things, as seeing just the problematic eating really hits home.

If you are having problems keeping food logs, try this, and see if it eliminates your excuses!
