At first glance, Virgo and Scorpio don't seem like they'd make the best match. One is a classic Type A perfectionist, while the other is the zodiac's brooding bad boy. It's a pairing that only seems to work in high school rom-coms. But according to astrologers, this is one zodiac match that surprisingly has a lot of potential. Virgo and Scorpio's zodiac compatibility has everything you need to know about this Earth and Water sign pair. As Dana DeFranco, astrologer and co-host of the Allegedly Astrology podcast, tells Bustle, Virgo and Scorpio form a sextile aspect to one another, which means they're 60° apart in the zodiac wheel. Signs with this aspect typically have a "natural affinity and desire to cooperate," so they're able to work together to reach both individual and shared goals. They're also most likely to start off as friends or friends with benefits before committing to a relationship. "This couple is likely to meet through mutu...

A number of new organizations aim to digitally connect patients with mental health providers who value and understand different cultures. Several years ago, while Charmain Jackman was going through a rough patch in her marriage, she started looking for a Black, female therapist. At the time, she said, she was desperate to find someone who would understand who she was, as a Black woman. "I wanted to come in fully as myself and not worry, 'Is this person going to get it? Am I going to have to explain everything?'" she said. But even Dr. Jackman, a psychologist from Massachusetts with decades of experience, kept running into roadblocks. Her insurance carrier did not offer demographic data on any of her in-network providers. A search on Psychology Today, one of the most commonly used internet directories of mental health professionals, was returning results that did not include women of color. And, at the time, the website Therapy for Black Girls only had a couple of ther...

Asexuality is commonly misunderstood by allosexual people (Picture: Getty Images/iStockphoto) Asexuality refers to a lack of sexual attraction to others, or a low interest in sexual activity, regardless of gender. It is considered a sexual orientation, similar to identifying as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer. Yet, though it occupies the 'A' in the 'LGBTQIA' acronym, many people aren't aware of what it means to be asexual. Like with all other sexualities, there are many ways this orientation can manifest in individuals, which subsequently leads to a number of misunderstandings and misconceptions. A lot of allosexual people – the term for people who do experience sexual attraction for others – are unaware of the nuances of asexuality, mainly because it isn't often talked about. Not many of us will jump straight into talking about our sex lives (or lack thereof) with someone at the local pub, and it might not even seem worth getting int...

When remembering my astrological signs and all of their traits, I like to think of Taurus as a bougie sloth. If these sleepy rainforest dwellers lived in five-star treehouses with air conditioning, Egyptian cotton sheets, and mohair blankets that would be the true embodiment of Big Taurus Energy. Valerie Mesa, an astrologer and soul coach, had a different (but also sort of similar??) animal comparison: "Imagine a beautiful spring day, and the cow is just lounging around with the flowers eating grass." So, yeah, this sign is all about luxury, comfort, and of course, l-o-v-e. Tauruses love love. This sign is ruled by Venus, after all—a planet all about love and relationships. A Taurus likes to be taken care of, to luxuriate in all things comfy and cozy, says Narayana Montúfar, senior astrologer at Horoscope.com and Astrology.com and author of Moon Signs: Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power . "Tauruses love being in relationships and, for the most part, it's a sign that...
