Bachelor: How Matt James’ Astrological Sign Fit With Rachael Kirkconnell & Other Finalists
Matt James's season of The Bachelor came to an end on Monday, when viewers learned that he broke up with Rachael Kirkconnell. Despite giving Rachel the final rose, he split up with her after a controversial picture of her at an Old South party surfaced. Earlier in the season finale, Matt also sent runner-up Michelle Young home, leading to a heartbreaking goodbye between them. During the "After The Final Rose" special, Emmanuel Acho filled in for Chris Harrison and asked Matt, Michelle, and Rachel tough questions about their relationships. After a painfully awkward three hours, Michelle and fellow contestant Katie Thurston were both announced as the next The Bachelorette stars. Katie will be the lead in season 17 and Michelle will be The Bachelorette in season 18. Did his zodiac sign impact his decisions on the show?
Matt was born on December 5, 1991, and he is a Sagittarius Sun. Matt's Moon, Mercury, and Mars are also in the Fire sign, Sagittarius. As a person who has a large amount of Fire sign energy, he would like his relationships to be easygoing, but also fun and exciting. Sagittarius people are renowned for loving travel and adventure. Likely due to editing and production failures, Matt's personality didn't shine through as much on his season as fans had hoped. However, through the bloopers and his interactions with friends off-screen, we know that he's a fun person. Matt Sagittarius Mars may explain his decision to back away from relationships, including his romance with Rachael, as Mars is linked with how people react to conflict, and Sagittarius craves freedom.
Matt's Venus sign is not in Sagittarius. In astrology, Venus shows how a person loves. Matt has Venus in Libra, so he's looking for fairness and equality in relationships. Libra is known for being balanced and romantic at heart, but also indecisive. Out of all the cast members, Rachael was the only other Libra Sun sign on the show, which could explain why they had such a strong connection. However, Matt and Rachael were both having doubts tied to big decisions in the finale. In the end, that's why Matt chose not to propose.
The other two women in Matt's top three, Michelle and Bri, are also compatible with him. Bri, who went home third, is a fellow Sagittarius who is able to relate to Matt. However, having two of the same sign in one relationship isn't always the best option. Michelle was born on June 3, making her a Gemini. In astrology, "sister signs" is a concept that applies to two signs that are a perfect complement to one another. To no one's surprise, Gemini's sister sign is Sagittarius. Both signs enjoy a good party, but also can commit to one another when things are more serious.
Out of the rest of the women on The Bachelor, Matt is the least compatible with Earth and Water signs, since most of his chart consists of Fire and Air. Notable Earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) contestants include Victoria Larson, Katie, Marylynn Sienna, and Kit Keenan. As for Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), they were pretty rare during the season. Abigail Heringer, the first deaf contestant in the franchise, was a Pisces. Towards the end, Matt decided these women weren't the right fit for him but caved under pressure in the last few episodes. If Matt had studied the stars, perhaps he would've found a better match.
