How do you know which signs are compatible with your own?	Actually all signs are compatible with all signs, some are just less challenging with each other. The Sun Sign is only 10% of the chart - so we need to look at the other 90% to see where the compatibility lies. Generally speaking, signs in the same element usually fit together. The quality signs usually conflict.
How can one predict the nature of a relationship using astrology?	Each relationship needs basic compatible energy to interact. Parents need to bond with children, Lovers need to bond. etc. Comparing the charts of 2 people, reading the energy patters can tell how the relationship will progress - or not.
How can one predict their future through astrology?	Astrology is very useful in this type of prediction, as planetary energies are predictable, so are relationships. Interpretation is all that is required.

Emotional needs of the Moon in the Signs Aries needs activity Taurus needs security Gemini needs expression Cancer needs to nurture Leo needs acceptance Virgo needs clarity Libra needs harmony Scorpio needs trust Sagittarius needs freedom Capricorn needs stability Aquarius needs independence Pisces needs imagination
