Since I don't use signs (or any (sub)division of the zodiac circle) at all, I don't use Sun signs either, but I'm reminded of what Kim Farnell once said in an interview.
The interview wrote:Q: What is your attitude to sun-sign columns?

They are to astrology what first aid is to medicine.

Perhaps I'm going a bit off topic (since the initial post is about what individuals with a particular Sun sign would think when looking for a partner) but since I only use aspects I would (also) look at aspects between Suns in natal charts of potential love partners.

Now as far I know, in basic Sun sign dating astrology people looking for their match would look at Sun signs of similar element, Aries looking for Leo's/Sagittarians etc. My question is how does the Sun sign/elements-matching deals with the possible fact that A's Sun in 29?59'Aries and B's Sun in 0?01'Leo are in trine aspect by sign but in square aspect by geometry? Would the former be the most essential or the latter?

On the one hand it gives astrology a popular recognition it would probably would lack otherwise. On the other hand it leads most intelligent people to think astrology is nonsense. It also leaves us wide open to criticism from sceptics.
If an intelligent person wants to actually use their intelligence to investigate further then they can. Isn't that how all of us got into astrology? (Unless your great grandparent was as astrologer and it's in the family..) If an "intelligent" person dismisses it without study.. are they intelligent or a bigot?

There are so many layers to this subject and anyone with the inclination can find their own level. We must respect each others points of view, otherwise it's divide and rule for sceptics!

Loving Kim's quote Eddy!
