Is zodiac compatibility real? 5 tests to identify your star sign and predict love using astrology
ZODIAC compatibility is the belief that your astrological sign affects your romantic connections. YouTube channels like Cosmic Fusion use this mystical view in its matchmaking games. But why are some signs more compatible with others? 3 3 The Cosmic Fusion Test Cosmic Fusion uses a five-stage test to determine who each contestant's best romantic partner is. The test involves each participant writing down their astrological sign when they first meet. They can only reveal their sign after opening up to each other about their lives. By this time, it is believed that each person can work out whether their sign is compatible with their potential partner's. This method can be used on first dates and experts believe that it can help singles choose better partners. In order to be compatible with each other, zodiac signs need to have complimentary elements. For example, fire and air signs work well together. This is because fire uses oxygen in order to burn, meaning an air sign fuels their partner's passionate side. Meanwhile, fire signs give their partner a sense of direction. Who should a Leo date? Discover the best and worst zodiac matches! Conversely, water signs and fire signs are a bad mix - as water suppresses fire. Water signs pair well with earth signs, though, because water nourishes the ground. The compatibility of a Zodiac pairings also depends on whether the signs have traits which work well together. For example, a bombastic Sagittarius would be poorly matched with a practical and organised Virgo. 3 Compatibility in the Chinese Zodiac Some experts have suggested that the Chinese Zodiac also plays a role in dating. Your Chinese Zodiac sign is determined by the year in which you were born and corresponds to a 12-year-cycle. Each year in that cycle is associated with a particular animal. For example, 2013 and 2025 are both the Year of the Snake while 2014 and 2026 are the Year of the Horse. The cycle repeats itself after 12 years, with the full list of animals including: Rat Ox Tiger Rabbit Dragon Snake Horse Goat Monkey Rooster Dog Pig The 12 signs are split into four "triangles of affinity". Dating a person who is in your "triangle of affinity" leads to stronger matches. Signs which have similar 'triangles of affinity' are more likely to make better matches. For example, clever animals like rats, monkeys and dragons are said to get along well due to their high intellect. However, each animal is also assigned a particular element depending on the number with which your year of birth ends. The Chinese zodiac has an extra element compared to the Western four, with the addition of metal. Air is also replaced as an element by wood in the Chinese Zodiac. The full list includes: Metal: Birth year ending in 0 or 1 Water: Birth year ending in 2 or 3 Wood: Birth year ending in 4 or 5 Fire: Birth year ending in 6 or 7 Earth: Birth year ending in 8 or 9 Some elements are more comptatible with others. For example, metal is compatible with earth since it can often be found in the ground. Similarly, the elements can be destructive towards each other. Fire melts metal, for example, meaning they are a poor match. This means you need to not only find a zodiac animal compatible with your own, but also someone whose element is compatible with yours.

Princess Diana's obsession with the 'paranormal' guided her choices after her marriage to Prince Charles fell apart
Astrology, tarot cards and seances are not often associated with the pragmatism and sobriety of the Royal Family. But Princess Diana - in moments of personal crisis - often turned to the spiritual realm for reassurance, cramming her diary with appointments in the late 1980s and 90s. Andrew Morton wrote in the authorised biography Diana Her True Story: 'When she first began investigating the possibilities of the spiritual world, Diana was very open, almost too open, to belief. 'She was so much at sea in her world that she clutched at any prediction, in the way that a drowning man clutches at flotsam.' But a former palace official told royal author Sally Bedell Smith that this was a 'cry for help'. Diana was first encouraged to speak with a spiritual advisor by Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York. In 1986, the couple referred Diana, tortured over her failing marriage to Prince Charles and the pressures of royal life, to astrologer Penny Thornton. 'I just wanted to see,' she told Thornton, 'if there is light at the end of the tunnel.' Diana began seeing psychic Betty Palko, naturopath Roderick Lane, celebrity psychic Sally Morgan, astrologer Debbie Frank, clairvoyant Vasso Kortesis, medium Rita Rogers and homeopathic dowser healer Jack Temple. Morton wrote that Prince Charles, who himself is known for his interest in holistic medicine and philosophy, was not supportive of Diana's many spiritual appointments. He said: 'When Charles saw her reading a book called Facing Death while she was on holiday he asked her bluntly what she was doing wasting her time reading about all those issues.' Diana became close friends with San Lorenzos restaurant owners Lorenzo and Mara Berni, who Morton wrote 'had a reputation of an Indian earth mother'. They encouraged Diana's interest in astrology, tarot cards and 'other realms of alternative metaphysics such as clairvoyance and hypnotism'. It was around this time that Diana was introduced to Debbie Frank who - as Morton wrote - 'combines general counselling and analysis concerning the present and the future as they relate to the conjunction of planets appropriate to Diana's birth time and date '. 'Born under the sign of Cancer, Diana has many qualities typical of that sign: protective, tenacious, emotionally attuned and nurturing. 'As her confidence in herself grew, Diana started to see these methods of self-analysis and forecast as tools and guides rather than as a lifeline to gab on to.' As depicted in season six of The Crown, Diana and Dodi visited psychic Rita Rogers - one of the UK's best-known mediums just weeks before they died in the fatal car crash in Paris. They were put in touch by a mutual friend in 1994, and Rogers did an initial reading over the phone before they met in person. ' You couldn't pull the wool over Diana's eyes,' she said. 'She could spot a fraud from 20 paces, and would have quickly sussed me if I hadn't been genuine.' Christopher Andersen, author of The King, said: 'Over the years Diana went through a revolving door supply of astrologers, faith healers, numerologists, tarot card readers, clairvoyants, psychics, and 'spiritual advisors. 'Most told her what she already knew: that her husband was cheating on her with his old flame.' Bodyguard Ken Wharfe agreed. 'Diana was in the thrall of all these mad psychics,' he told Tina Brown in The Diana Chronicles. Rita Rogers and Diana (pictured) were put in touch by a mutual friend in 1994, and Rogers did an initial reading over the phone before they met in person At the inquest into Diana's death it was noted that Diana's reliance on spiritual advisors offered companionship and a sense of comfort during a difficult time - but also fueled her paranoia. The inquest heard Diana was obsessed with clairvoyants - including one she dubbed 'Fergie's witchwoman', whose identity was not revealed. Mr Jephson, a former lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy, worked for Diana between 1990 and 1996. He said he was worried that she put so much faith in astrologers and soothsayers because this 'fed the paranoia that never lurked far beneath the surface'. By the time of her Panorama interview in 1995, he said, Diana 'saw plots everywhere', even claiming that someone had taken a 'pot-shot' at her with a gun in Hyde Park. 'Needless to say, I had all the accusations checked out, but the threats were, as I had known all along, all in her imagination.' The psychic bloodline of the royal family can be dated back to the days of Queen Victoria. Occult expert J.H. Brennan claimed that Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, was 'fascinated by spiritualism' and would invite mediums to Buckingham Palace and hold seances In his book Whisperers: The Secret History of the Spirit World, occult expert J.H. Brennan claimed that Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, was 'fascinated by spiritualism' and would invite mediums to Buckingham Palace and hold seances. Brennan also claimed that Victoria's servant John Brown, whom she was rumoured to have a romantic relationship with, actually acted as a medium to help her channel the spirit of her beloved late husband, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Many other members of the Royal Family, such as the Queen Mother, the late Queen and Prince Philip have also reportedly attended seances and other investigations into the paranormal. In the documentary The King of UFOs, paranormal historian Richard Felix claimed that Queen Elizabeth II attended a seance in 1953 hoping to connect with her then-recently deceased father. The queen's mother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, sister, Princess Margaret, and husband, Prince Philip, were also reportedly in attendance. Last year Diana's former butler revealed that the late royal haunts his mansion in Cheshire and that the late Queen also believed in the supernatural. Paul Burrell started working in Charles and Diana's royal household in 1987 and was the Princess's personal butler until her death in 1997. He was having his home inspected by a group of ghost hunters on an episode of Celebrity Help! My House is Haunted when he made the claims. Prince Harry wrote about exploring the occult to feel connected to his late mother. In his memoir Spare he said that he once sought help from a woman who claimed to have powers to connect with his late mother. 'Your mother says that you are living the life that she couldn't live,' Harry recalled the woman telling him. 'You're living the life she wanted for you.'

Your Horoscope for the Week of May 25
Yapping and chatting are the week's themes since Mercury is active now that it's entering Gemini on May 25. Mercury aspects Saturn in Aries, Neptune in Aries, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, the Gemini Sun on the 25th, 26th, 27th, and 30th. Communication will be direct when Mercury and Saturn unite, dreamy with Neptune, intense with Pluto, and clarifying with the Sun. Ebb and flow through the ride and emotions. The New Moon in Gemini on May 26 stresses the importance of mindfulness and understanding. Set objectives that are in reach and achievable. Drama seems to follow you wherever you go these days, so embrace and bless the mess. It's not that serious in the long term, but it might be frustrating in the interim. Laugh it off with a margarita at happy hour and poke fun at the situation to diffuse it. Taurus, your love language is cash. You opt for gifts, swag, and bling instead of physical affection. That is okay because, to you, the price tag shows how much forethought and dedication went into making the present yours. As long as you appreciate it, then who is anyone to judge? For every finger you point at others, three point back at you (oof!). Real talk: You are upset that everyone knows the tea about your ongoings when you're spilling it and whistleblowing on yourself. Avoid sharing your secrets or telling on yourself to avoid this dilemma. Silence can be golden. It looks like you're taking a hard pass at scheduling in your BFFs for a mani-pedi spa or day. You're not in the mood to socialize and are looking inward. Set up a night to remember for yourself and binge-watching Summer House with a face mask. Sounds like your ideal evening! Being more social means giving your energy to others and not keeping enough for yourself. Your internal batteries need to be recharged, which can make you feel grumpy, exhausted, and irritable when with friends. Before meeting up, unwind by giving yourself a few minutes to add pep to your vibe. You are r when setting boundaries, but you're learning how to maintain them. This week, you're seeing that you are the one who isn't adhering to them on all fronts. Take a step back from lurking on your ex's socials and asking questions that are personal with coworkers. Confrontation can be scary, especially when facing off with someone you care about, because you might say, hear, or repeat unforgivable words. However, running away from problems never helps remedy situations. Send an email to get your sentiments across without dealing with a head-on collision and aggression IRL. When life gives you lemons, get creative—you don't have to make lemonade. You can use the setback as a time to grow and advance professionally. Brainstorm ideas that speak to your spirit and strengths, like teaming up with someone who can sweeten the situation and help you build an empire. Even though you're in a commitment, you long to be free. Before you stir the pot with your boo out of rebellion, plan an evening out with your crew. You shouldn't break up over wanting to have fun with your besties—hang out with your squad when you want. A simple favor could be more trouble than it's worth. Before you agree to help a pal, make sure you don't take on other burdens in their life. Your plate is full, and you don't have room for extras. Some people have a million things to say behind your back, but can't be real to your face. Usually, you'd be upset, but looking at the source makes you feel sad for them. TBH, your life is flourishing and they're just being a hater out of jealousy. It feels like everyone in your realm is adding stress to your vibe. If you need a break from certain people, give yourself a moment of reprieve. You don't have to explain yourself; just do it for your own good. It's time to put your needs first. No more excuses.
