ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My man is a Scorpio born on Halloween. I call him ‘Mr. Signals.’ I am a Virgo born on Aug. 25, 1983. Are we a good match?"

As a Virgo with Venus (retrograde) conjuncting with your sun, relationship are always going to be a high priority for you. You may have a tendency to analyze situations concerning love without taking into account the bigger picture. Jupiter in Sagittarius favors your Mars in Leo, supplying you with all the energy you need to pursue romantic interests with a playful and affectionate nature. Your Scorpio friends has Mercury (retrograde) conjunct with his sun, making him intelligent but reserved and slightly guarded about his thoughts and ideas. His Jupiter in Virgo favors his Mars in Capricorn. Unlike your Jupiter/Mars aspect of the same nature, his is in Virgo and Capricorn. This is quite different than the Sagittarius and Leo of your chart. His energy will be channelled through his career. His desires to be at the top and is wiling to work hard to get there. These earth influences in his chart blend with your Virgo sun, making you feel connected and attracted at the same time. His mixed signals may be due to your age, which, regardless of your feelings and maturity, is still a major factor.
