Thanks both. I was well aware early on the "incompatibility" of our signs according to many in astrology. I'm not a big astrology fan because they tend to dump people into categories without any gray area. My POI is definitely an "avoider" or a "runner". I am definitely the one who faces things head on (to a fault sometimes). What astrology doesn't take into account is that people can and do recognize their traits and their shortcomings. Sometimes these differences can even benefit a relationship because they can create balance as well as different perspectives. My POI knew I was the action oriented one. Problem? Here's the solution. Argument? Let's discuss it now instead of later. It made him uncomfortable many times, BUT he would also come running to me when he didn't know what do to about something. He could overwhelm easily, so I was the source of reason. He could also get jealous, especially because I do have platonic friendships with men. I knew because of this insecurity in HIM, I needed to be completely transparent in everything I did. That doesn't mean I had to ask permission or not be friends with men, but I knew that he was more comfortable if he was included in the friendships and I was open about them. He is an extremely loyal person and cheating was something I never had to worry about. He learned over time that I was equally loyal. Different signs can be a struggle, but if you recognize the strengths and weaknesses of both, you can certainly work with them and even learn from them. Lord knows if I met someone just like me, the issues would probably be way bigger.
