Astrological Relationship Pattern

(Linda Goodman)

Yesterday I was cracking up some old books and I found out an old one called "Love Sign" by Linda Goodman and I was like, "whoooah I used to like this one". A very thick book of astrology talking about relationship between zodiac signs.

So I want to write down a summary what is called as "Astrological Relationship Pattern" just in case I forgot. There are some known patterns of relationship between zodiacs especially in romance mentioned in Linda Goodman's Love Sign. I'm not a Love guru but here they go:

There are 7 patterns : 1-1, 2-12, 3-11, 4-10, 5-9, 6-8, 7-7.

First off, we must be able to determine what kind of pattern created between two sun-signs. This is how to calculate it. I will use an example:

Virgo and Leo, they form 2-12 relationship pattern, the distance between Leo to Virgo is 2 house (the reference house is also counted), and the distance between Virgo to Leo is 12 and we are using this series of house:
Aries-Taurus-Gemini-Cancer-Leo-Virgo-Libra-Scorpio-Sagittarius-Capricorn-Aquarius-Pisces.

So Aries and Libra would be 7-7 pattern, and Leo and Capricorn, and Capricorn and Gemini would be 6-8 pattern.

Explanation of pattern

1-1 pattern
The feeling of interest between the two people usually arises because of similarities between them both, they usually share common traits or character or background or hobby, that what bind them two. This kind of relationship works best when each of the pair shares common interest or similarity in a large space. Whenever each has no or little common things to share, each would hardly to get interested and the relationship wouldn't work. This is the relationship between people of the same zodiac sign.

2-12 pattern
This is the pattern of guru and student relationship. One of the couple would take position as the teacher and another would be his/her follower. One would become the wise and the other as the pupil of wisdom. One would lead the direction as the other would follow. One would become the parent and the other as the child. This relationship works best when one is in higher status in financial power, social influence, etc and the other is on lower lever. The example of this relationship are Aries and Taurus, Gemini and Cancer, etc.

3-11 pattern This is the pattern of friendship. Love will arise when they both become a very good friend, within the time they've shared all things that matter between them both. The relationship would be based on friendship, equality and closeness. They will never abandon each other as friend never would do. Usually love will come between them when they've known each other for so long. The example of this pattern are Libra-Sagittarius, Sagittarius-Aquarius, Scorpio-Capricorn, etc.

4-10 pattern
Interest and love usually comes when the two come from different source. Differences attract, that how we describe 4-11 pattern. They will find each other as interesting because of his/her differences in background, hobby, point of view, etc. Even when years had gone by, the two would still find each other as new as they first met. Exoticism, journey, challenge, exploration and travel is what this relationship all about. The example of this pattern are Aries - Cancer, Aries - Capricorn, Libra - Capricorn, etc.

5-9 pattern
This is the type of relationship which is highly driven by feeling, emotion, and sexuality. People call this relationship as eros love. Physical closeness, emotional expression, tears, angers, laughes ,cries, etc would color this relationship. This is most dramatic relationship of all. The two couple will bind each other by emotional depth and express their love through physical touches and eroticism. The example of this pattern are Capricorn-Taurus, Gemini-Aquarius, Cancer-Pisces, Aries-Leo, etc.

6-8 pattern While 5-9 pattern is driven by emotion, 6-8 pattern is driven by rational brain, set of rules, system, social ethic and value, culture, etc. This is called formal relationship. The two would enjoy the love when the two are living within set of rules they both agree upon. Family and friends and other social surroundings have high influence of how the couple will flow. This is a common view within traditional conservative family. The example of this pattern are Aries-Virgo, Cancer-Sagittarius, Libra-Pisces, etc.

7-7 pattern This type of pattern is called intellectual relationship. Love and interest may arise when the two share the same degree of education, financial power, family status, etc. This pattern is about competition, strugle and completion. When the two are from the same sex, they surely would hate each other, jealousy, envy, etc would arise. But when the two are of different sex, they may build bussiness together, or do some research together, etc. Honor and mutual respect become fundamental base of this relationship. The example of this pattern are Gemini-Sagittarius, Capricorn-Cancer, Pisces-Virgo, etc.

Okay there's that. You may believe or not believe in Astrology. But this may one of knowledge you may share and who knows it might be usefull.
