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.

Ben Johnson embraces Bears' negative QB history, eager to change it: 'That's where great stories are written'
New Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson is embracing the notion that quarterbacks can't be successful playing for that franchise. "I love it. I love it," Johnson told reporters, including 670 The Score's Chris Emma. "I love the opportunity to come in and change that narrative. That's where great stories are written." The idea that Chicago is purgatory for NFL QBs was reinforced last week when excerpts from a new book by ESPN reporter Seth Wickersham included remarks from Caleb Williams' father, who didn't want his son to go No. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft to the Bears. 'I love it.'Ben Johnson on the narrative that Chicago is where QBs go to like he's ready to change that story. — Ficky (@itsfickybaby) May 21, 2025 "Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die," Carl Williams told Wickersham. Additionally, Caleb Williams had concerns about how he would fit in then-offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's system. Naturally, reporters covering the Bears wanted to hear from Johnson regarding those remarks. But the first-time head coach appears to enjoy the idea of dispelling such negative expectations. "It's come to my attention that the quarterback's been out in the media," Johnson said, via The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. "I wasn't here last year. I can't speak too much to what it was like before he got here. ... For my four months on the job, he's been outstanding to work with." Pardon the obscure pop culture reference, but Johnson comes off like grunge band singer Cliff Poncier (played by Matt Dillon) in the movie "Singles" after reading a bad review in a music magazine. "This negative energy just makes me stronger," he declared. "We will not retreat. This band is unstoppable!" Johnson arrived in Chicago with the reputation of being an offensive wizard who revitalized Jared Goff's career while he was the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator. During the past three seasons in Johnson's offense, Goff put up arguably the best numbers of his NFL career, averaging 4,547 yards and 32 touchdown passes per season. In six of the Bears' past eight seasons, the team's leading passer didn't reach 3,000 yards. Williams' 3,541 yards was the highest total for a Chicago QB in nine years, going with his 20 TD passes versus six interceptions. That performance gives Johnson, offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and QB coach J.T. Barrett a considerable foundation to build upon in their first year together. And it's understandable why that, along with a strong belief in his own offensive schemes, has Johnson feeling confident as the Bears put in their offseason work. To paraphrase Eddie Vedder in that "Singles" scene, a compliment for Williams is a compliment for Johnson. Or vice versa. Johnson being successful will mean Williams played well. The coach envisions plenty of high-fives being exchanged with his quarterback in the seasons to come.

Miley Cyrus's New Single Disappoints As It Arrives
Miley Cyrus's 'More to Lose' debuts at No. 91 on the U.K. singles chart ahead of her Something ... More Beautiful album, underperforming despite fan purchases. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 04: Miley Cyrus performs onstage during the 66th GRAMMY Awards on February 04, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor The Recording Academy) In a little over a week, Miley Cyrus will release her new album, Something Beautiful. The set is one of the most highly anticipated pop projects of 2025, but so far, it has yet to produce a true global smash. After dropping the first single, 'End of the World,' in early April, the singer recently delivered a new tune from the project titled 'More to Lose.' While it's not clear if the track is a proper single or just a promotional cut, as it arrives on the charts in the United Kingdom, it disappoints somewhat by getting off to a very slow beginning. 'More to Lose' barely makes it onto the Official Singles chart, the ranking of the 100 most-consumed songs across the country. It launches at No. 91, earning the second-lowest start of the week. Only Blackpink singer Rosé comes in lower, as her new track 'Messy,' taken from the F1 soundtrack, manages a lower starting point as it debuts in last place, at No. 100. 'More to Lose' also manages to appear on two purchase-focused rankings, as it seems that fans buying the cut to support Cyrus are largely to thank for its debut. 'More to Lose' opens at No. 39 on the Official Singles Downloads chart. It just misses out on becoming a top 40 success on the Official Singles Sales tally, which takes into account not just digital downloads but also purchases on physical formats, as it kicks off its time at No. 41. On each of those three rankings, Cyrus sees her previous focus track appear much higher, as interest in 'End of the World' is still relatively strong. The tune drops on the trio of lists this frame, but it's still performing decently. It dips nearly 20 spaces on the Official Singles chart, falling from No. 65 to No. 83. It does manage to remain inside the top 40 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales rankings, coming in at Nos. 30 and 31, respectively. 'More to Lose' is the fourth song released ahead of Something Beautiful dropping in full, which is set to happen on May 30. Before 'End of the World,' she shared both 'The Prelude' and the title track. Both of those cuts made minor chart impacts in a handful of nations, but were not promoted as proper singles. Depending on how well 'More to Lose' performs in the coming weeks, it could be upgraded to proper single status — or it may remain in this gray area as something of a promotional tune.
