What do the relationship experts have to say?
Stephanie McKenzie, a certified relationship expert told USA TODAY she asks all of her new clients for their birth dates so she can determine their astrological sign.
“I don’t think a lot of it comes from personal experience. I think it comes from, reading something or, having an article sent to them being told ‘You’re incompatible with their sign,’ so they go ahead and believe that right off the bat,” McKenzie said.
Jaime Bronstein, a licensed relationship therapist, told USA TODAY it is mainly her female clients who bring up astrology, while males tend to tell her astrology does not matter to them.
“I do think that it does help if you are with a sign where the stars and everything is compatible,” said Bronstein.
