- I have experimented with Love Planets metric (Claudia and Abadie Bader)
- and compared with numerous
- people I have known. One catch though is that if you do not know their
- time of birth then you have a large variation in rating, because the ascendant
- is not known. I married someone who rates 60, it did not work out and we are
- going through a divorce. I had two very comfortable relationships at different
- times with people rated 190 and 220 respectively. There was sex there were good
- times but the physical attraction was not as high as the lower numbers. I did
- not want a marriage because they were 6 years older than me, and I believe
- that a small age difference is good. Dont ask me why.
- My marriage was one of very high physical attraction, little else. Same with
- my childhood sweetheart, score less than 0! She found someone else to marry. I
- have yet to have a close relationship with someone in the 125-160 range, but
- what little I experienced has been great, with adequate physical attraction
- and mutual respect and comfort with that person. However, intuitively I have
- felt that if we became very very close there would be areas to work on.
- Since I am a very peaceful person I like the relationship to be peaceful too
- more likely to be found in the higher compatability ratings.
- I dont like unpleasantness and fighting. Personally I look for a relationship
- in the soulmate range 160 above, and I think the physical attraction can
- be corrected outside of astrology, such as cultural upbringing, genetics etc.
-
- I have a grand square in my chart involving the fixed signs, therefore
- it is nigh impossible to get a high rating with people in Scorpio, Leo and
- Taurus. My own Sun sign aquarius brings both ease and difficulty. The people
- I have scored very high so far have been Sun signs Aries, Libra, Capricorn,
- and Virgo, with most of their other placements also in Cardinal or Mutative
- signs. Of these Librans and Virgos have been very elusive, both for
