The Good And Bad Of Loving Him, According To His Zodiac Sign

No matter how old and/or wise I get, I still need as much help in making decisions as anybody. Maybe because I'm a Libra and it takes me forever to decide on something, simply because I have to weigh all the evidence and get as much advice as possible.

I think all of us can use whatever kind of extra information we can get, especially when it comes to those major life decisions such as moving somewhere for a job, getting cosmetic surgery, or getting married.

We don't want to make a mistake, and yet mistakes are how we learn and grow. But no one says to themselves, "I'm going to do this even though I know it's a huge mistake, and I'm going to suffer the consequences."

There are times when we just need to act, to trust that whatever happens will be a learning experience, and we'll become better people because of it... or at least get some funny stories out it.

No matter how confident we are in our decision-making prowess, we still seek help from various avenues. You might have a friend that you trust or a therapist, or like many of us, you get various behavioral clues from astrology.

Marriage is not something that someone goes into lightly, nor is making a long-term commitment, so when we're deciding whether or not we should make such a momentous decision, we need to look at all the costs and benefits. We may we completely head over heels in love, but we've got to try to see things in a logical and practical way.

Astrology helps us get a clearer picture of the character of our intended. It can tell us what's good about marrying him and what's bad. You can get an idea if the bad things are dealbreakers, and that you should wait until you know the person better before agreeing to spend the rest of your life with them.

Here are both the good and bad things about marrying him, based on his zodiac sign.
