C'mon, who can deny that Patti a.k.a. 'Millionaire Matchmaker' has a way with words. I could listen to her forever because she is so downright funny! Too bad I didn't know about her when I was writing my book 'Children of the Stars' all those years ago, as I would surely have awarded her a place in the 'Gemini House of Fame'. Patti is probably one of the best examples of a true Gemini that I know, with her speed of thinking, frank use of words, and bubbly sense of humour. In fact she reminds me of fellow Geminis, comedienne Joan Rivers, and sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Nobody can get away with speaking so frankly about sex as Patti, Joan and Dr. Ruth. Others have tried, but in my opinion Patti, Joan and Dr. Ruth reign supreme!
My daughters have treated me to the ultimate birthday present - I get to see Patti in person this coming weekend. Yeah!! can't wait for Saturday. I'm a matchmaker too, but a different sort. I like to get down to the nuts and bolts of an individual's astrological chart, and do my own kind of mixin' and matchin'. I've been doing this for 40 years now. It would appear the older I get - the less I know!! Astrology is constantly evolving, and there is always something new to learn. And yes, I walk the talk. I used it to help me find the right mate. Thirty two years later 'Je ne regret pas rien!' (pardon my French!)
When a couple come to me for guidance, I like to be honest, and say it like it is. I have a checklist, and want to be able to tick off at least 5 boxes. I'd settle for 4, but would be concerned if there were less than 3 good connections between their charts. If the two Suns are not especially compatible - don't worry. Many happy couples often have incompatible Suns. However - of more significance to me is a good Sun/Moon connection. In my years of studying marriage charts, I have found that the couples who stay together have good Sun/Moon connections, good Sun/Ascendant connections, good Saturn and Jupiter connections, and for sizzling chemistry - hot Mars/Venus connections.
Is it any wonder then that the Indians who have a vested interest in arranged marriages, always employ the use of an Astrologer. It makes total sense. I'm not telling you anything new. Astrology has been around for more than seven thousand years. The reason it has survived so long is simply because it works!
So be wise - don't sign the dotted line before consulting with the Celestial Gods...
Love ya!
