I Met My Astrological Soulmate. Should I Tell Her?
A queer person was rejected by someone the app Co-Star calls their soulmate. Now they wonder: should they share this astrological connection?
Astrology is very popular in the LGBTQ+ community. Many queer people use star signs to understand relationships. One person recently shared a funny and painful story online.
This person used the app Co-Star. Co-Star is an astrology app. It tells you about your personality and relationships. The app said someone special was their astrological soulmate. A soulmate is a person who is a perfect match for you.
The problem? That special person rejected them. The rejection was hard to accept. How can someone reject you if the stars say you belong together?
Now they have a big question. Should they tell this woman that Co-Star calls them soulmates? Maybe it could change her mind. Or maybe it would feel very strange to say.
Many LGBTQ+ people know this feeling well. Queer dating can already be difficult. There are fewer potential partners to choose from. Rejection can feel even harder in a small community.
Astrology gives some people comfort. It helps them make sense of confusing feelings. When someone you like does not like you back, it hurts. Believing the universe has a plan can make the pain easier.
But astrology also creates new questions. If an app says two people are soulmates, does that mean anything in real life? Feelings cannot be decided by stars or algorithms. A person's heart makes its own choices.
Still, the story touched many readers. Some people laughed because they understood the situation. Others shared their own experiences with astrology and queer dating. The post became popular quickly on Autostraddle, a well-known website for queer women and LGBTQ+ people.
The debate continues. Should this person tell their astrological soulmate the truth? Some say yes. Honesty is always good. Others say no. Respect the rejection and move on.
One thing is clear. Love, astrology, and queer life make for a very interesting mix. The stars may guide us. But we still have to make our own brave choices.
