My new roommate moved in on August 1st & we clicked instantly: we're both Libras, do fashion design as a hobby, & very contradictory (I work in luxury goods & I despise the socio-economic divide that goes along with it, she works in nightlife entertainment but she hates going out & can be introverted). Throughout August, we started to grow closer, cooking breakfast & dinner for each other before & after work, cleaning our place together on our mutual days off, chatting on our porch 'til 4am every night. We hardly ever text each other since we'd rather save the conversations for when we see each other. We started getting into each other but like a rom-com/rom-drama, we always stopped short from getting overtly emotional (she'd always check herself with a long pause before she'd say something & would end up giving a light compliment).

Long story short, I shot my shot on Sept. 1st while we were Netflix & chillin and we both confessed that we're into each other, we just didn't want to say anything because we're roommates & it's an unconventional situation. We both decided we want to play this out slowly since we want to get the other aspects of our lives in order + we both tend to rush into relationships without really getting to know the other person.

I watched a couple tarot readings on Libra for Aug. & Sept. and they were always drawing The Lovers and Death cards, and they called this situation to a tee.

What y'all think? Here's our placements (mines on the left, hers on the right):

No bro..

Just no.

Hmmmm why? I've heard this is a good combination with stats to back it up.....

Stats don't mean anything in astrology. Show me the stats on this particular situation. I'll wait.

Point is.. If he is okay with having to pack up all of his stuff and find a new place to live in a few weeks, months, etc.. or potentially enter into a civil court case because both are on the lease, or she's not.. and she wants to fight for renters' rights..

Maybe that won't happen. But you have to be okay with knowing it's a possibility.

Naw you have a point & I've been thinking about that for the past month & a half. I'm usually optimistic outwardly & pessimistic internally so I always think shit is gonna hit the fan for me. I'm risking it, I was possibly planning on moving out next year once my lease is up & I have an house I inherited just in case I can't find anything.

I'm speaking of the Castille and Sachs studies. Geez you are awfully pessimistic. It doesn't have to end in war of the roses if it doesn't work out lol...

I've read the study.

It's lacking a data set.. Time of birth. That is a variable not accounted for.

It also lacks a follow up. Did these marriages survive? How long did they last before they failed?

Maybe Libra/Libra pairing is statistically more likely to marry.... but what if they are also more likely to divorce?

The studies speak to the compatibility. Of course nothing in life is guaranteed. The studies did also mention that two libras are less likely to divorce according to the research....

I have a hard time believing any professional astrologist would put any faith into a study that doesn't incorporate birth times. imo

Are you prepared for the potential loss of your current home if things don't work out? I think that's the biggest risk. It's pretty sweet.

I am, and that's the thing though. If things don't work, I'd probably move out or we'd both move out. It's not like it's hard to find a place in Chicago.

Seems pretty low-risk then. It's definitely unconventional, as you say, but the way you described falling for each other strikes me as very sweet.

It has been quite sweet. It's like a congruent mental connection with an emotional play in which she checks me from falling into the deep end & I bring out more affection out of her slowly. We both said that it feels less like we're getting to know each other and more like we're remembering each other in a constant series of déjà vus.

So many people don't know their birth times though. Probaly why it wasn't included...

Would you trust a synastry chart reading without the birth times?

We both know our birth times in case you're wondering:

Me - Libra Ascendant

Her - Aries Ascendant

Same height & weight as well, which is eerie (I'm more proportioned, she's all booty).

I mean you never said anything about booty. You sound like you've already made up your mind. So go for it!

I'm only worried about your moon, both your Venus and both of your Mars signs.

Hopefully your risings will hold things together.

Yeah, they're all mutable squares which would involve a lot of compromise. Then again, we're Libras, that's what we do. What's the correlation with risings in regards to inner planet placements?
