Look for patterns, not predictions
Pochotna explains that focusing on whether your sign “matches” with a partner’s can distract you from paying attention to how you interact with each other.
“If astrology says you are more independent, ask yourself if that is true in your relationship. Use it to trace habits, not to predict the future,” advised Pochotna. “It’s your actions and communications that matter – not what an app or astrologer says about your sign. Astrology can provide insight, but it is not a substitute for addressing real issues as they arise.
Use Astrology to Promote Meaningful Conversations
Astrology helps us understand ourselves and others using archetypes, a tenant of Jungian psychology. However, it is important to view astrology as an access point rather than an absolute authority.
As Pochotna advises, “Use astrology to dive into deeper things—like your values, long-term goals, or how you handle conflict. If your partner’s chart says they’re super into emotional closeness, take that as a start to talking about what emotional support looks like for both of you.
“Astrology is a tool to start conversations, but the real magic happens in those deeper conversations.”
don’t hate hater

“It’s about rejecting what matters to you. You want a curious and supportive partner, even if they don’t share all your hobbies. Mutual respect is essential in any relationship and undermining your interests is a big danger.

“Although astrology can explain some difficult aspects, don’t use it as an excuse to avoid real conversations. If something is wrong, talk about it,” Pochotna suggests. “Sure, maybe the planets are a little disorganized right now, but your relationship requires effort and honest communication, not just star-driven Admit the blame game and be accountable for your relationship issues.
