Has anyone ever thought of setting up a place(online or at a singles bar) where people meet and are hooked up according to their sun, moon, rising(if they know when they were born), venus, and mars signs? It could be the answer to everyone's dating trouble.

Re: Astrological speed dating
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 8:55 PMI don't exactly know yet, I'm still working out the details lol!!!! What I do know is, you would fill out a form containing your astrological data and the astrological dating service would hook you up w/ your a-alike. Like for instance, if you're a scorpio w/ a virgo moon , a taurus rising, your venus in scorpio, w/ your mars in Libra, the astrological dating service would hook you up w/ somebody who is a Pisces w/ a Capricorn moon, a venus in Pisces, w/ Mars in Aquarius or something close to it. I've been skowering the internet and newspapers for something like this and haven't come across anything like it yet. Maybe it can start here and you may not need a form to fill out. Who knows, it's worth a shot at least(especially if hasn't been done before). -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 9:03 PMVirgos would lie. I get along great with Virgos..but all the guy Virgos I know seem quite ashamed of their sun signs.
I think some people would say they were Scorpios whether they were or not. Why do people researching dating formulas assume people mostly tell the truth online? I mean in my experience people are exceptionally skilled at deceiving others and more detrimentally, at deceiving themselves. -
-
Re: Astrological speed dating
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 9:16 PMPeople lie about themselves on regular dating websites as well as lie to you in person. I feel it wouldn't be any different from what goes on normally. Besides, there are as much people who are upfront and honest about themselves as there are liars & deceivers.

Re: Astrological speed dating
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 10:00 PMwell that's unfortunate because i'm very attracted to Virgo men. And I can usually spot one anyway... so they wouldn't get the lie past me! -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 12:34 AMI like the concept of connecting with women based on astrological factors. It's probably the major reason for my continued interest in astrology. And I'm a Virgo (and proud of it) with moon in Virgo AND Scorpio rising conjunct Mars in Scorpio! There was a period of time in my life when I knew two women who had the exact same (by degree) Sun and Ascendant. They each had Sun in Scorpio with Virgo rising. If I could meet more women with that configuration, life would be interesting indeed! I also resonate well with women who have moon in Scorpio and once knew 5 of them within a mile of my rural home. -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 9:04 AMIn this day and age it could save a lot time (and stress in some cases) for people who are getting a little tired of the dating scene. It can cut through all of the fluff and hook you up w/ somebody instantly who thinks just like you, can relate to you on many different levels, and is looking EXACTLY for the same thing you're looking for(and why not, these hook-ups are based entirely off YOUR astrology chart and who matches up w/ it sign by sign). If you're a Sagittarius w/ a Taurus moon and a Scorpio rising along w/ your venus in Sagittarius and your Mars in Scorpio, why waste your time w/ someone who's a Libra w/ an Aquarius moon , a Gemini rising, along w/ a venus and mars in Libra (even though you may be attracted to his or her looks) ? If you know your astrology, you know that combination is an astrological mismatch and chances are, it won't work (Save yourself the heartbreak). This is why I feel something like this would benefit a lot people looking for their a-alike. Everyone wants to feel understood by the person you're w/ and if more people were hooked up according to their their natal charts, people would stand even more of a chance in finding their Mr. & Mrs. right instead of waiting for him or her to walk into your life. -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 10:01 AMonly synastry is quite a bit more of a complex art than just matching up traditionally 'compatible' cookbook-style astrological points ~
I agree that more people may be better served by consulting an experienced astrologer at some point during their dating process
<I've read that Vedic astrological matchmakers working on arranged marriages have about a 50/50 success rate ~ a bit better than American ideals of individuals finding their own true, romantic love & marriage partners, where more than 5 marriages end in divorce these days ~ if those statistics are still true ~ using BOTH techniques together only seems to make sense for better 'odds'>
& but without the personal touch of a live astrologer, considering the whole charts of the people involved, not just the most heavily weighted 'parts' ~ the process is likely to be cold & soulless ~ much like what I'm intuiting you are already tired of in the current "dating scene"

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Astrological speed dating
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 10:25 AMMy best relationships have not ever been compatible
sun-sun
moon-moon
venus-venus
mars-mars
situations
It's interesting for another gimmicky way to hook up,
but I think astrology is better for being more aware of problems one knows they are likely to attract than for picking and choosing.
Some other things too, but still not for picking and choosing.
There are trends I have noticed in my best relationships and my most intense ones that none of you would be able to predict
and no one was able to explain when posted.
It just isn't that simple
At least people would have a common interest to start off with, that interest being astrology. -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 12:28 PMWell what exactly are each of your main signs(sun moon, rising, etc......), in addition to the signs of each of your best relationships, and why didn't they work? Also, are you currently in one that does work, why, & what exactly are their main signs? -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 1:20 PMoh yeah let's give our chart placements to this faceless, friendless avatar.
I think I'll pass. Perhaps i shouldn't be so cynical but it appears to me moonpl may be working on a business plan for an astrologically oriented dating website.
Let's all help... -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 6:43 PMIm going to tell you right now that
it's a waste of time
I already posted that stuff on here previously and there was nothing conclusive
Be careful getting cocky like that, I guarantee
for certain that if you think your cookbook style is going to trump my 16 years of study
You would get schooled, but I have nothing to gain from that
so Im not going to take the intensive time that this request would require -

Re: Astrological speed dating

Re: Astrological speed dating
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 3:42 PMpersonal attacks are not necessary, nor is it useful or productive.
Rose, everyone is entitled to their opinion and indeed discussion of said opinion.
Moonpie, don't take things so personally.
Let's return to the matter at hand.
The problem I personally see with your idea of astrological speed dating is that it may rely on ppl believing in astrology first and foremost, and knowing their time of birth etc. Else you would just use their sun signs which is less 'precise'. Indeed the whole idea might sound a little bit like "oh sorry you're a taurus, and he's an aries, no speed dating for you two then" which is a little bit authoritarian. Its less speed dating and more matchmaking. -
-
Re: Astrological speed dating
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 3:45 PMalso with this idea, it might be more interesting to look at current speed dating and see if the ppl who are attracted to one another and want to see more of each other typify astrological theory first. Perhaps the rising sign would be more prevalent than the sun sign in this instance.
It's certainly an intersting idea, a lot of ppl turn to astrology for relationship 'advice'

Re: Astrological speed dating
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 7:41 AMWell for one, I'm not on here that often. I first signed up here in Jan. of 08 & it wasn't until a few days ago that I came back on this site due to someone replying to one of my comments seeking relationship advice and while I was on here, I just thought it would be a good idea. It's no quick get rich scheme or nor is way of stealing someone's identity. You don't even have to put down your date of birth, (unless you don't know what your moon, rising, venus, mars signs,etc. and wanted your natal chart done as well). And as far as what's in my profile, I put down "I AM LOOKING FOR A CANCER MOON WOMAN". Do YOU smell a scam? Well, who says I'm not entitled to look for anybody(why, because I came up w/ the idea?). I'll look for whoever I want, when I want (just like anybody else) and will not hold any reservations about it (why should I?) . And Skylar, I don't recall seeing your pictures on here (you just have picture images), so that technically would make you a faceless avatar as well. Rose, you come off like such an arrogant astrological buffoon, you feel like you're so knowledgeable and therefore so quick to judge. If the world were left up to people like you or Skylar, we'd still be living in the stone ages by now. -
-
Re: Astrological speed dating
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 8:05 AMOk, lets play nice everyone.
I have studied alot with synastry and have been amazed at how it all works out, so yes there is something to it, I can't deny that.
But it is important too look at the blend of the whole chart, though I do see that the Sun, Moon, Asc, as well as the Sun / Moon midpoint as a good place to start. -
-

Re: Astrological speed dating
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 9:25 AMDude, my comment was based on your existence on tribe only being here asking about astrological speed dating
and nowhere else. I looked because of Skylar's comment, the fact that this is the only place you are supports that idea.
The cocky comment is because by asking people to post the information you did, it insinuates that both what I said and what Mem said ould be discounted, assumably by you. I am not claiming to be able to do anything particular with my study in fact I am claiming that to do something this intensive is much more difficult than we should be claiming to be able to do, That isn't ego based, it's quite the opposite. I do recognize that the way I put it was a bit cocky, I almost added something to it because I was having a mental Kung-Fu moment. It happens. I think it's funny.I didn't mean to upset you quite so much, but I still think mental Kung Fu is funny especially when I'm putting the smack down from a similar place that all of that comes from; you know, recognizing that the universe is more powerful and complicated than any of us will ever understand and using that as a platform to put the smack down from.....Please excuse my further martial arts metaphors. I'm just that way this week.
Oh and I do agree there is something to synastry; however, you start at the cookbooks and then move further into it and it is not so simple, just like every other part of astrology.
Perhaps I could imagine it might be that simple for someone. Maybe it would be nice if it was, but I actually don't think it would be. That's just me. Oh and by the way I'm not as ego-powered as it may seem, after all these years of study I STILL have not felt I understood things enough to do readings for money. Maybe some of you would see that as a personal failing, but I don't. I've only just thought about it the last two years through the promptings of others. If I thought I knew so much that would have started long, long ago. -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 10:22 AMRose, it was only idea. Didn't I mention to you specifically that I was "still working out the details"? It was just an idea and I was coming up w/ ways that would seem sensible enough to bring an idea like that possibly to fruition, nothing more nothing less. I can deal w/ the doubters or anyone who may feel a little blaise about an idea like that, that's not the problem because I do understand everyone has got their own opinion on the matter. What I do have a problem w/ (or did at the time) was when you & Skylar went into this little sarcastic rant (what you call your little kung-fu moment) not to mention you writing about your experience in astrology (you came off real arrogant) that I felt was uncalled for, which made me respond the way I responded. However, since reading your last comment, I have a better understanding of where your coming from, so it's all good. -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Thu, May 15, 2008 - 10:39 PMoopsie....I didn't see you were looking for a cancer moon woman...
lol
my thoughts are with you...
If people choose to not to share their natal chart with you... you shouldn't be surprised. -
-
Re: Astrological speed dating
Sat, May 17, 2008 - 6:41 PMRefusing not to share your natal is not something I would be surprised about, in fact it's completely understandable. Especially w/ the internet being what it is, I can't expect EVERYONE to want post their charts on-line (That's why I also thought about it being a singles bar for astrological daters) However on another note, being sarcasticly rude to someone isn't something that easily understandable & tolerable.

Re: Astrological speed dating
Fri, May 16, 2008 - 12:45 PMWell smarty pants,
I particularly like Virgo sun men with a dash of Scorpio somewhere. Venus in Scorpio or Pluto conjunct either their Sun or Venus is what I've noticed that I really like, but Scorpio rising could also be fun.
So let's get it on, already. lol -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 5:39 AMhey, i am single!
but i don't believe in online dating, nor i believe in matching up two people by their horoscope. of course i know, that there are people, who were successfully met online, and it become love.
so i wish my moon was in cancer......lol
but moonpi, don't give up, maybe you are one of the lucky guys, who can meet someone this way!
all the men i have dated had totally different placements all the time.
i love to spend my time looking at synastries, composite charts, but i don't think
in a real love it matters what is where. first you gotta fall in love, than you can check out the stars. than if it doesn't work, it is maybe because of the other persons pluto falls in your 4th house. even if everything else clicks, there still can be fatal placements.
i have a friend, whit whom i have all harmonious aspects in synastry. ALL BLUE-NO RED-- lol
we have never got mad at each other, we radiate peace when we are in the same group of friends, we have great conversations, he even fell in love with me, but i could never imagine anything with him, because i find him dirty, and he bites his nails, and all kind of little things what makes him repelling to me physicly. other than that he is a sweetheart, and a very clever guy, i like him a lot.
ok, that was what i had to say,
i don't mind if "faceless avatars" see my chart, i have nothing to hide in that drawing. i don't think anyone can harm me by looking at it. the THING is not the chart, it is the person itself. without knowing me you won't see what is in me just by looking at my chart. and if people with little knowledge on astrology draw silly conclusions, or making judgments by looking at my chart, i don't mind that either. it is their problem.
that is why i don't believe in this kind of match making, but again, i wish it worked for lonely people. maybe you can open a new tribe "single's webastrocafebar"

Re: Astrological speed dating
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 6:12 AMInstead of knowing your chart, know yourself. I don't know anything about astrology (atleast not more than the average person im sure) but I will say that it is still related to patterns of energy that create form. I found that through meditation, I have accumililated possible traits from all of the zodiac archetypes, but I have yet to act on them regularly and I have started to diminish my own reactive patterns.
I am a celibate personally, because I don't want to settle for anyone who I feel is not making an effort to train themselves in the art of living. But who is the authority on these matters? Who can say whether or not someone is trained and disciplined? Well, its a matter of opinion deduced from behavior. After a 6 year relationship that almost resulted in marriage, I really found out the difference between attachment and love.
Astrology would say that my ex and I were compatible, and indeed we were, until I had psychedelic mushrooms that resulted in a shift in my priorities. (note, most girls freak out when you tell them that you love everyone) Once I started growing through daily meditation and yoga, her reactive patterns became a hinderance on my growth which resulted in frustration.
Lesson learned, find someone who is allready on the same path as you, and you will probably find a more interesting connection based on recent habitual behavior instead of innate instincts that could have been warped through childhood development.

Re: Astrological speed dating
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 6:16 AMWhat about the carl jung personality test? I would be more interested in seeing if certain types are compatible. I am an INFP for example, and I remmeber when I took the test that they reccomended me to stay away from the type that I was with at the time. I forgot what her type was, but I definitely did not disagree with the comparison. -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 6:58 AMRalph, some time ago there was a survey on this tribe asking MTBI and Sun,Moon and Asc. The results were never posted.
moonpi, I sense that your motives are genuine, however, I have been here +- 3 years and have seen my share of trolls etc...people are reluctant to put alot of info and energy into someone elses inquiry. -

Re: Astrological speed dating
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 7:02 AMOh, moonpi,
It might be helpful for you to start with your chart and the aspects that you see affecting your relationships with others.
And YEAH Virgo's rock.
