BIG Q Are Couples of the Same Zodiac Sign Compatible? Dear Big Q, I asked my male coworker for a ride to pick my car up from the shop. We have ridden together -- in the past before he got married -- to go to lunch. He told me that he couldn’t. He and his wife agreed that they would not give rides to friends of the opposite sex. No judgment, but is this really a glimpse into marriage? If so, I’m good single. I like ALL of my friends. (Redwood City, California) Dear Friends Forever, Wooooooow. So basically, you and he can’t be cool since he is a married man now? Well to answer your question, I don’t necessarily think that this is a glimpse into a “typical” marriage, but just because we don’t agree on the understanding that this particular married couple has established doesn’t necessarily mean that it is wrong. What works for them within their marriage and household is their personal business. But we definitely are still entitled to our own opinion and my ~ Friends Forever opinion is that this is totally lame, considering you both were friends before he got married. This type of agreement would only be required in a relationship that involves trust. Hopefully, as their marriage progresses maybe their trust for one another will also grow. Typically this type of situation arises when someone has been involved in or suspected of infidelity. Therefore, be patient with him if he is your “true” friend because nine times out of ten this wasn’t his idea and he is doing this to satisfy his wife. At the end of the day let’s not forget that she is his number one priority now. You have heard the saying many times before “happy wife, happy life”. Good luck Ms. Lady. ~ Big Q , © 2017 Digital & Print Magazine CONNECTING OUR CULTURE TO OUR CYBER & CONSCIOUS COMMUNITIES BIG Q ADVICE COLUMNIST IOWA [email protected] thesoultown.com Dear Big Q, How real do you think astrology is? I mean do you believe the people of the same signs are compatible? I am a Leo and my baby is also a Leo. We get along so well. I am convinced it is because we share zodiac signs. What do you think? What sign are you? (Waterloo, Iowa) ~ Leos4ever! Dear Leos4ever, My birthday is May 11th so my zodiac sign is a Taurus. The funny thing is that I have never dated a Taurus before so I don’t know if people with the same zodiac signs are really compatible. Typically it is said that people are attracted or compatible with people who have different zodiac signs than themselves. So I guess what you and your significant other have going on can be considered somewhat special and unique. Maybe you both are just soulmates and that’s why you get along with each other so well. Either way it goes, I wish you and your partner many years of love and blessings. Just make sure I get an invitation to the wedding when you all decide to tie the knot. Much love to both of you. ~ Big Q , Dear Big Q, Valentine’s Day is very close. I am trying to “Stay Woke”, as Childish Gambino would say. Knowing all that I know about Valentine’s Day, I know it has less to do with love and more with money. How can I avoid celebrating this day with my girl? (Vallejo, CA) ~ I Love Being Woke Dear I Love Being Woke, You say that you are trying to stay woke, but it seems to me that you are actually sleeping, my brother. You are absolutely right when you say that Valentine’s day is all about the money to a certain extent, but what holiday really isn’t? Bottom line is that it is not a good idea to avoid celebrating Valentine’s day with your girlfriend. You just want to avoid spending unnecessary money on your woman for Valentine’s day. My advice to you would be to plan something romantic for you and your girl that comes more from the heart and less from your bank account. Do something special for her that you know she will enjoy. But don’t try to downplay the actual day because it will not turn out good for you in the end. Most women want to be acknowledged by their man on Valentines Day, it’s just your decision on how you plan to acknowledge her. Just keep in mind that it doesn’t have to necessarily be about money to make her happy. Be creative and make sure you celebrate the mutual love that you have for one another and everything else will fall into place. Good luck Bro. ~ Big Q , See what’s happening in thesoultown.com! 24 FEBRUARY 2019 • CELEBRATING 2 YEARS OF CONNECTING OUR CULTURE TO OUR CYBER & CONSCIOUS COMMUNITIES • THESOULTOWN.COM
