PREFACE FROM THE AUTHOR

G-d gives each person the strength to overcome their tendencies

"Written in the Stars" - What does that mean truly? We know that Klal Yisroel is above the Mazalos, and if this is the case, how can we say that zodiac signs have any influence on our lives? So the answer is Both – We have mazalos set in place and tendencies that go with each. However, Klal Yisroel is above mazalos, and therefore it is not definite to play out in a specific way; everything is min Hashamayim, and the way things are supposed to play out will play out however G-d in His infinite wisdom decides that they should.

To start with, let's clarify that daily or monthly horoscopes and zodiac signs that you can search up on google, even if in some way they happen to apply to your life at the moment, usually are not to be relied upon as fact; it is based on marketing and not based on Torah sources.

Having said that, every month has a certain zodiac sign and element, and that goes with it; do these signs and elements mean that that is going to cause your life to play out in a given way? No, but they are called tendencies, certain natural inclinations that come with the month you were born under.

According to Kabbalistic sources, the months and their corresponding elements are as follows:

September - Virgo - Earth

October - Libra - Air

November - Scorpio - Water

December - Sagittarius - Fire

January - Capricorn - Earth

February - Aquarius - Air

March - Pisces - Water

April - Aries - Fire

May - Taurus - Earth

June- Gemini - Air

July - Cancer - Water

August - Leo- Fire

Kabbalistic sources say that for marriage and business partnerships, certain signs tend to go well together. Specifically, water signs go well with other water signs, as well as with earth signs. Waters together create stronger unified water, and water combined with earth creates a brick, something with which to build.

Earth signs generally mesh well for marriage with other earth signs and water signs. Fire signs tend to go well with other fires, creating a unified fire. They also tend to go well with air signs as air fans fires embers, keeping fires flames alive, and giving air the fire to fuel.

Important q, Can people whose signs are not according to the aforementioned get married and get along well? Can business partners succeed in business together if their signs are not matched up?

The answer is a resounding yes. Many great Gedolim have had beautiful marriages with spouses that were not their sign, and what's the secret? Being a person who works on themselves. If you are the type of person who works on yourself to be the kind of person who is a giver and puts in the efforts to cultivate a strong harmonious relationship with someone, you are not bound to the tendencies of the mazalos. The output is always as great as the input.

G-d gave each person the strength to overcome their tendencies

And remember that with Tefillah and asking Hashem for clarity and his guidance, everything is a different ballgame; we recognize that the stars do not bound us; we are only subject to Hashem's Divine Will, which is always undoubtedly out of this world.
