When horoscopes meet reality?

Horoscopes and astrology have always amused me. I am the most atypical Libra female you are likely to find (tomboy, blunt, and sometimes rude, couldn't care less about what I wear, hate flirting, hate social gatherings) and the love of my life is a Cancer male who shows.... maybe 50% of the qualities typically attributed to Cancers.

Amasingly enough, despite all that I've read, we are a damn near perfect match for each other.

So, how does astrology deal with situations like this? What do you do when faced with someone who is almost the polar opposite of their sign in a relationship that should be doomed to never work well at all?

if you want more info... I'm virgo ascendant, capricorn moon.

Update:

Babashee, that doesn't really explain it well because my boyfriend and I are not opposites... we're extremely similar with regards to taste in music, hobbies, beliefs, and sense of humor.

    How about the real possibility that astrology is useless? There is no evidence that it can do what it claims to be able to do. It can't pass any testing. Statistics don't support it.

    Where is the line between wishful thinking fantasy and cold reality?

    Other than you being a Libra and he being a Cancer there is more to it than that. You have other influences in your natal charts that make you more or less compatible with each other and influence your personalities.

    My mother is a September Libra as well she's a Tomboy doesn't get dressed up, never wears make up or does her nails, she also doesn't like social gatherings.

    Since you have a virgo rising and capricorn moon that would take into account as to why you get along so well with your Cancer boyfriend add that to what his chart says and there you go, you have an understanding of why when you read about a Libra Cancer relationship it doesn't sound like yours.
