FINDINGTHE

Byarranging the 12 astrologicalsignsaround a circle,we can discoverthose signsthatwill ,most

attract us and those that will drive us mad. For Western astrology,all you need to do is cou-ntfive
signsaround from your own sign to find thoseyou simply won't get along with. Look at the sign
opposite your own to discover the sign who will probably be your friend, as well as be your guide
and teacher.For your perfectlover,count four signsaround to find the two signswith w-homyou are
most compatibleromantically(seediagrambelow).

STARSIGNS
Look t'or the two signsthat connectwith
your own star sign to discoverwith whom
you are most cotl'tpatibleromantically.
 For example,if your star sign is Taurus and you want to find your perfect partner, count four
signs around each side of your sign and you will arrive at Capricorn ahd Virgo. Theseare your two
bestbets for a good relationship.By counting five signsaround either side of your sign,you will see
that the two you should avoid like the plague are Libra and Sagittarius.If you look opposite' the one
who can be your friend and mentor is Scorpio.
This method works in exactly the same way for Chinese astrology (see diagram below). For
example,if you are a Dragon, the best chancesyou havefor a successfuland exciting relationship lJe
with the Rat and the Monkey. The ones to avoid (counting five signsaround) are the Pig and the ""
Cb;*erel, and the one who can help the Dragon the most is the one directlyopposite,the Dog' There
is a lOgiqto all this and we have,over the next few pages,put this into words for eachand every pos-
sible combination of signs.However,alwaysremember that love will strike whereverit wants, and we
can only give you possibilitiesand potentials;love itself may seethings differently and award you the
,r.ry best lover from the very worst combination.
