Katy Perry and Russell Brand - soul mates?

Following on from my August post, Opposites Attract, today’s blog continues the theme of star signs and love compatibility. This time it’s soul mate connections, which each star sign shares with the eighth sign on in the zodiac. Katy Perry (b. 25 October 1984 – Scorpio) and her (ex!) husband, Russell Brand (b. 4 June 1975 – Gemini) have this soul mate connection. This love compatibility combination isn’t widely known and some of the 12 pairings make more sense than others. Read the descriptions below and make up your own mind about this relatively unknown but intriguing phenomenon.

Aries-Scorpio: Aries and Scorpio are both ruled by the planet Mars, God of war. This is an intense, passionate combination which often leads to a competitive relationship; two strong individuals who are as determined and steely as each other. Celebrity couples: Elton John and David Furnish; Colleen and Wayne Rooney

Taurus-Sagittarius: Taurus and Sagittarius is an unlikely pairing at first glance. Taurus appreciates home comforts and Sagittarius is the explorer of the zodiac. However, both signs are hedonists at heart and share a love of laughter and good times. Celebrity couple: Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal

Gemini-Capricorn: Gemini and Capricorn may not seem to have much in common, but Capricorn’s dry and offbeat humour resonates with Gemini’s wit. Gemini’s thirst for knowledge and Capricorn’s wisdom and experience sit well with each other. Celebrity couples: Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, Priscilla and Elvis Presley

Cancer-Aquarius: Emotional Cancer and logical Aquarius may seem an odd couple but this pairing can work. Aquarius loves to solve problems and Cancer worries for England. If the relationship becomes their main focus, there’s plenty to keep this couple interested. Celebrity couple: Jennifer Saunders and Adrian Edmondson

Leo-Pisces: Leo and Pisces is a creative combination. Their mutual love of drama (Leo) and imagination (Pisces) conjures up a magical world. Both compassionate and caring types, they enjoy the pleasure to be gained from generous and giving acts of kindness. Celebrity couple: Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman

Virgo-Aries: Virgo and Aries, the Virgin meets the Ram. Inherently different in personality, Virgo loves order and Aries is wild, yet this combination can unleash hidden depths and passions. Celebrity couples: Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley; Billie Piper and Chris Evans

Libra-Taurus: Libra and Taurus are the two signs of the zodiac ruled by romantic Venus. This is a loving and tender combination and both may care greatly about the world we live in. Celebrity couples: Keely Shaye Smith and Pierce Brosnan; Bob Geldof and Paula Yates

Scorpio-Gemini: Scorpio and Gemini is a common combination as this pair love to seek knowledge and find things out. Life is a mystery to be explored to the full. Celebrity couples: Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman; Katy Perry and Russell Brand; Jonathan Ross and Jane Goldman

Sagittarius-Cancer: Sagittarius and Cancer are poles apart. Sagittarius is the traveller of the zodiac and Cancer rules home and family. One craves security (Cancer), the other fights against it (Sagittarius). Finding a home environment that works for both is the key to happiness. Celebrity couples: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise; Ashley and Cheryl Cole

Capricorn-Leo: Capricorn and Leo are made for each other. This is a power couple who want to play big in life, to achieve status and make a name for themselves. It’s a proud combination.  Celebrity couples: Michelle and Barack Obama; David Bowie and Iman

Aquarius-Virgo: Aquarius and Virgo meet intellectually. Two of the most intelligent signs of the zodiac, this pair are best friends as well as lovers, and they share a love of social and environmental concerns. Celebrity couple: Carey Lowell and Richard Gere

Pisces-Libra: Pisces and Libra are ruled by Neptune and Venus respectively. Neptune is said to be the higher octave of Venus and this is a musical, artistic and sensitive combination. An intuitive and romantic couple. Celebrity couple: Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow
