Is your significant other as interested in Astrology as you are and if not, how !
Question: Does it cause problems in your relationship? Have you ever broken off a relationship with anyone because of your interest in this subject? My girlfriend is an Astrology fanatic and I'm mainly trying to learn as much as I can to "keep up with" her. Lucky for me I happen to like the subject but I love her more.

Yes, he is interested, too (it's pretty strange because I was actually thinking about this a few days ago)
Personally, I think that relationships are based on mutual trust and RESPECT. So, even if he wasn't interested, he could still respect the fact that we have different views about it...
Differences of such kind should really not be a problem if the relationship is a *real* one...because even basic differences are seen as "spice" in a healthy relationship and not as something that has to "be changed".
I don't think that the difference itself would be a reason for breaking-up...however, the lack of respect certainly would be.
I was once married to a guy who thought my astrology interest was "psycho". As you can imagine, this doesn't feel good.
Better to be with someone who accepts it graciously. EVEN better to be with someone who knows something about it, so you can have great conversations!

my husband has not understanding of it and dosn't care to, but it's my thing, i am respectful enough not to shove it down his throat and he is not negitive about it, just lets me do my thing!!
No, my significant other is not interested in Astrology at all. I have to tried to get him to become interested, but he continuously says it's "rubbish." But, that's fine with me. Everyone has their own interests, and if astrology doesn't interest him, I won't force it on him. We have many other things in common to keep us entertained and the relationship alive. Plus to me, having some different hobbies and interests is probably healthy for the relationship. Everybody needs personal time.
Great question! I am an Astrology fanatic, I value the principles and take notice of Astrology in everyday life. My ex-boyfriend wasn't so much of a believer.. if I made a comment about someone and their sign, he would roll his eyes, or call me crazy and kind of put me down for it. I guess he just didn't see it, maybe he wasn't intuitive enough (he was Aries btw).
But my current boyfriend loves Astrology as much as I do! He sees the things I see (and more) we throw around ideas about people Astrology-wise and he doesn't think I'm crazy for believing because he completely understands it too (sometimes he can tune in to somebody's sign better than I can) and in this sense, we learn from each other. I think because he is a Capricorn, which makes him naturally intuitive and sensitive to people. I think being in a relationship with somebody who shares your beliefs is not necessary, but definitely can help you build trust and understanding in one another.
Only a few of the boyfriends I've ever had, were interested in Astrology. One took it too far, so far that when I broke it off, he resorted to Astrology to *prove* to me that we were made for each other. The other one was keenly interested; at least, he didn't prejudge me because I study Astrology and he was more than willing to see how it worked.
My current boyfriend doesn't believe it at all. Although he was all too eager to prejudge me on the basis of my sun sign... I'm trying to teach him exactly how it works and he is willing to learn, but lack of time and perhaps his 3rd house in Capricorn and mercury in the 12th house make it seem hard for him to grasp a subject that seems too "odd" for him.
My partner introduced me to astrology proper, but he has a different perspective. For example he doesn't regard asteroids as significant.
Astrology has changed my relationship with my mother, because I now understand our relationship/differences/
failings better.
I'm not exactly sure what you might be trying to say. But I would say : only study the subject because YOU are interested in it. There are an infinite number of other subjects which you could be studying, or doing, to possibly greater benefit.

My husband doesn't believe like I do. However, he does keep an open mind about it. At times he gives me a hard time about it but I just laugh it off. There are things that he enjoys and I don't. I think that it helps our marriage. We love each other and understand that we don't have to be involved with EVERYTHING the other partner does. We are still individuals. Hope that helps. :)
My significant other does not believe in astrology nor do any of my friends or family. My friends and family are mostly religious and think that astrology and religion dont go together....my boyfriend is not religious, yet he doesnt believe in anything that has to do with astrology. But it is clear to me that astrology seems to be accurate.
