I don't normally like romance movies, but I LOVE it when romance movie directors coincidentally choose actors that are astrologically compatible in real life. At least for me, it really deepens the believability of an otherwise fluffy love story. In fact, it's especially soothing to watch movies whereby the protagonist is currently with their best match, but leaves that lover in order to be with their second best match, when they are their second best match's best match.
Not every sign's best match is 100% compatible with them! I find these love triangles soothing probably because I've had crushes on acquaintances who were my best match, but who were not only taken, but taken by someone who was THEIR number one best match! Of course, I would try to tell myself that at least they can justify their attraction based on supposed personality compatibility, which suggests that it wasn't all about physical attraction and looks. But still, there are some signs who's first best match is really unfair to their second best match who has them as their first best match.
Carol is a fantastic example of how the Rooster lived happily ever after with the Ox.
- Cate Blanchet who played Carol in the movie Carol, is the Rooster. Although she starts off married to one of her best matches (Harge in real life is the snake), who would get all excited about being highly compatible with a sign known for infidelity?
- On the other hand, Therese in real life's sign is the Ox. She actually also starts off being engaged to her best match, the rat. But you know, the annoying thing to the Rooster, who doesn't have the greatest social skills in the world, really hates the fact that these two, possibly only a year apart from each other, could have met each other just by showing up to class everyday in school if the month they were born was close enough to everyone else's born the year afterwards!
- Wouldn't the Rooster, at a minimum 4 years apart from the Ox (their best match), just LOVE to find friends/lovers that easily? It's just not faire.
- These initial compatibilities support all of the other evidence in the story that proves that sexuality is the only thing wrong with their initial relationships. There are a lot of clues that go on in the beginning of the movie that imply that sexuality is the only thing wrong with their current respective relationships, and accidentally, their horoscopes can also serve as clues of this.
- So, when the Ox (Therese) does leave her first best match in order to be with her second best match, it's an extra feeling of victory for the poor Rooster (Carol) who really does not get along well with the Ox's best match at the best of times, not to mention the fact that the Rooster always had to share the Ox with the Ox's scheming childhood friend that had always made the ox assume she didn't need anyone else in her life. I mean, the two of them would have grown up so differently! While the Rooster had to grow up feeling alone due to the fact that her best matches were four years older or younger than her and so nowhere near her elementary school classroom, she would have had to grow up feeling all alone, and always with the feeling of how appreciative she'd be when she finally met someone who understood her.
- The Ox, meanwhile, may have grown up in the same class as one of her kindred spirits, so she would never have had to feel that same feeling of loneliness as the Rooster. But, as the Ox is a very well-intentioned sign, who shows steadiness and reliability to her friends, I guess that's all the Rooster could ever hope for when they did finally cross paths.
