Question:
Many astrology programs and services offer compatibility readings with
ratings based on the birth info of two people. Can you work backward
using one person's birth info find when and where someone compatible
might have been born?
Answer:
Great
minds (or is that maniacal minds) must think alike, my friend.
Years ago, I briefly experimented with this very
same idea... I
don't
know about you, but at the time I was in the midst of a "relationship
valley." And so I decided, being a cracker jack expert astrologer,
that I was going to create myself the “perfect chart” to
go with mine.
Since this
was before the advent of the internet, I'm clueless as to what I thought
I was going to do with this perfect chart.
The
Recipe
Being
a practical sort of fellow, I thought I’d begin with a pinch of
Saturn in order to give the relationship a sense of obligation
and longevity;
and then
I'd throw in plenty of Venus and Jupiter for oodles of good,
positive feelings. Then I'd mix in double whammy cross aspects
between Mars and
Venus to ensure hot passionate sex; and then I'd give it
just the right dose of Neptunian rose colored glasses guaranteed
to reduce the harsh
glare of day to day reality. Finally, I would add just the
slightest hint of Uranian excitement and electricity and top it
off with a dash
of Plutonian intensity...
Stark
Conclusion?
Not
long after starting out on my valiant quest for the "perfect chart," I
came to the stark conclusion that it might be necessary to reappraise
and
lower my standards just a wee bit. 
I
realized I was hip deep in the process of creating something akin to
the Bride of Frankenstein.
And
I further discovered that I was playing the roles of both Dr. Frankenstein
and his lonely monster that needed a special someone to keep him
company... and finally, the sheer audacity of thinking I could
create a “perfect
chart,” hit me over the head like a ton of bricks.
Not
one to give up easily... I then resolved that perhaps I could find
a couple of “good
enough charts.”
Not
too much later, I lowered the bar one final time, thinking that
maybe I
could find a few “ain’t half bad charts.”
Eventually
my sense of enthusiasm and curiosity waned...
I
met and fell in love with a woman whose birth chart I would never
have been
bright or clever enough to have picked out in advance...
and I abandoned my already diminished quest of finding a few “that ain’t
half bad charts.”
Summing
It Up
Maybe
I'm crazy, but I still prefer making all my choices of the heart
in
the old-fashioned way... and I shudder to think of all the
wonderful, memorable moments (as well as moments of sheer torture)
I might have
missed out on by only considering those women that fit my "that
ain't half bad" chart category.
Besides...
if you happen to remember how the movie, Bride of Frankenstein, turned
out - the monster's short romance with his lovely bride ended up being
a total fiasco...
No... I
afraid that my days of playing Dr. Frankenstein and his lonely monster
are long over...
