Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry shocked the world when they announced their split last week, after being together for five years and having baby Nahla. New reports indicate they quietly split weeks ago, but fans still wonder what went wrong -- after all, this couple seemed as if they had it all: the love, the looks, the life, the astrological aspects. What’s the story?

It would seem to be a curse of opposing signs! Halle is a Leo with a Cancer Moon, while Gabriel is a Capricorn with an Aquarius Moon -- they each had opposite signs from one another. Although this made them butt heads at times, they also have a great capacity to work as a team. However, it’s Halle’s signs that are much more intense and emotional, and while she brought the heat to the romance, he probably added the logic and compromise to their interactions. So, if one player was more ready to leave, it was most likely Gabriel who made the move to get out, on the grounds that he longed for a relationship in which avoiding conflict didn’t require giving in.
