I don't believe that astrology has any real merit when it comes to predicting who you gt along with, or who you should spend your time with. I think that it becomes an excuse for people to explain when their relationships fail or when things don't go to plan. It makes us forget that being a good friend, or a good partner, or a good pet owner, means being Astrologically compatible. We should, instead, be honest and put in the hard work to be a good friend or partner or pet owner. Relationships are really all about hard work, and not about what time of year you are born.
I don't see astrology telling you who you
should(my emphasis), spend your time with ..... surely you are the only person who determines that? Astrology can't
force people on you! And it doesn't work saying to yourself when you meet someone new 'oh, he/she is a gemini(or whatever), I am supposed to be compatible with them' and then
you are ..... other factors come into play. Astrology is not an
exact science but it is a very
very good indicator of how things are/will be. I don't know how old you are, but when you look back over a lifetime you might well find that particular signs feature in the way I have described in my questions in my OP. You have already found that you are indeed compatible with Leo and have two of them as your closest friends!
As for the last part of your post: I don't agree that close relationships are about hard work. Of course everyone goes through tough times/rocky patches with people they are close to, but if you're really having to
work at it it rather suggests that the other person isn't 'pulling their weight' in the relationship or, to be honest, is just not bothered about it! The point is, it's likely there is a particular sign that just 'gets' what you're about and that makes the relationship comfortable and special. Or, you may find as I have, that over the years there's a particular sign that is very helpful to you, both in practical ways and by example. These people aren't emotionally close but are nevertheless very supportive. But I do agree with you that over and above all this, we should approach every connection we have with another(human or animal), with love, respect and understanding ......... regardless of when they were born.
