I've actually gotten fairly involved in doing astrological profiles, and one must really look at all the planets to create an accurate representation of the characteristics that a person is born with (not to debate the whole nature vs nurture thing here!); of course, the 'Sun signs' are just broad generalizations that loosely fit 1 in 12 people; and then certainly the same goes for comparing two people's 'signs'--one must really look at all their planets to get beyond the very broad generalizations.
I do 'natal' (a person's birth) and 'composite' (the relationship between two) profiles, and I find them to be amazingly insightful; especially the composites which have always pointed out the exact Achilles Heel of every one of my relationships so far (no, I didn't pre-suppose the demise because I did the profiles in retrospect). I would love to find an astrologically good match now! and just to put out there in the universe--my 'perfect' match is Nov.13, 1974 :) (of course, there are many other very good dates :)
If anyone would like their own natal profile or a composite between two people, just shoot me your birth date (or two for a composite); and time and place does increase accuracy, but not necessary.
I've visited and been visited many times over the last 15 years; at the very least, it is the best way to be introduced to a new city--by someone who knows the non-touristy places to see.
I have noticed that visiting does not work as well as being visited, and I believe this has to do with sharing the risk of flying and meeting someone for the first time. When someone says, "sure, come visit", they're not really invested--they don't really care if it doesn't work out, and it's almost never worked out. But when I offer to pay for the ticket then we're both taking a risk of sorts, or at least we're invested somewhat in the success of the outcome.
You have to promise to be either a good host or a good guest for your new 'friend' for a few days, no matter what, and then usually you can just have a good time; like having distant relatives coming to town, or an exchange student.
One thing is for sure, spending time chatting--online or telephone--first, is a must. By the time this question comes up, both should not have any question about traveling to meet that someone--it's just a matter of the details by then.
Now for the real challenge--can developing a relationship over a distance really work?!
