MB Free Love Test

Are you and your beloved made for each other, or is your relationship doomed to failure? To find out, you could go to a relationship counselor or enroll in a seminar--or you could take the tests in this free software package.

MB Free Love Test offers six compatibility tests: Astro, Kundali, Chinese, Moon Sign, Numbers (numerology), and the familiar Zodiac. A few of these tests ask for your time of birth, but seem to work without that information. Most of them assume that the pair are male/female combos, and the Kundali test appears to be geared for arranging child marriages--it requires "boy's details" and "girl's details."

Good reporter that I am, I subjected my own marriage to this battery of tests. The Astro, Kundali, and Numbers results were all encouraging: We've got good compatibility, and our relationship is ideal. Unfortunately, however, we're a very bad match according to the Chinese, Moon Sign, and Zodiac tests. Well, as the bard says: The course of true love never did run smooth.

Some of the analyses that this software provides could be good fodder for discussion, so it might be useful for dating or established couples.

MysticBoard.com offers this software for free for 45 days, but asks that you register on its Web site after that time. There's no charge; instead you're expected to become active in MysticBoard's astrology-themed forums.
