Watch This Taurus & Capricorn Love Match Put Their Relationship To The Compatibility Test
The latest episode of The Real vs. The Reading features Atlanta couple Joi and Timothy Thomas. Joi is a Taurus and Timothy is a Capricorn, which means they have a harmonious connection due to both of them being earth signs. They met at an Adidas store where Joi was working at the time and according to Timothy, it was love at first sight. After six months of dating, they moved in together and now have been married for three years.
“She’s different from me. She’s the complete opposite of me and that’s what attracted me to her more than anything,” Timothy said. “She’s the life of the party. She’s the life of the room and clearly, I’m the complete opposite but I think that’s why we mesh so well together.”
For The Real vs. The Reading, Dani Simone, who is from xoNecole’s Tarot Reading Lives, collected the birthdays, birth times, birthplaces, and relationship duration of the seven couples to curate her readings. Her readings covered romance, challenges, and intimacy. Each couple featured is in a variety of relationship stages: married, engaged, or dating.
Dani sees both Joi and Timothy as ambitious, about their money, very successful, and prominent. They fit the characteristics of what many would deem a power couple. According to their moon placements, Joi’s moon is in Scorpio, and Timothy’s is in Pisces, “This is a couple that can really feel at home together.”
When it came to their challenges, they disagreed on how they spend money. Timothy also noted that Joi likes to challenge him. “For the first time, I have someone that challenges everything. Every single thing,” he said. But he admitted that “in the long run it pays off well.”
Taurus Wife and Capricorn Man Are A "Power Couple" | The Real vs. The Reading
Dani’s readings saw some struggles the couple experienced due to Joi’s sun sign in Taurus and Timothy’s Venus in Aquarius. With the Aquarius energy, Timothy may come off judgmental and bossy.
In the end, the couple felt the readings were accurate except for the challenges section where they believed the readings applied to the opposite person.

Laterras R. Whitfield On What He Wants In A 'Future Wifey' & Redefining Masculinity
In this week's episode of the xoMAN podcast, host Kiara Walker chopped it up with Laterras R. Whitfield, host of the Dear Future Wifey podcast, for a raw and revealing conversation about personal growth, faith, and the search for love in a way that resonates.
Laterras Whitfield Believes Men Should Pursue, Not Persuade
“Let me know you exist, and I’ll do the rest”
Whitfield is a big advocate of a man’s role in going confidently for the woman he wants. “Men should pursue, not persuade, and women should present, not pursue,” he said. He’s open to meeting women on social media but isn’t a fan of bold approaches. “Don’t shoot your shot at me. … Let me know you exist, and I’ll do the rest.”
His ideal woman?
“She has to be a woman of God… I judge a woman by how her friends see her… and most importantly, how she treats my kids.”
Infidelity, Redemption, and the Power of Self-Control
“Being disciplined is the most beautiful thing you can offer”
Once unfaithful in his previous marriage, Whitfield has since transformed his perspective on masculinity. “Being disciplined is the most beautiful thing you can offer. That’s what true masculinity is to me now.” He has also committed to abstinence, choosing self-control as a defining trait of manhood.
Whitfield’s journey is one of redemption, purpose, and faith—something that speaks to women who value emotional intelligence, accountability, and the power of transformation.
Rewriting the Narrative Around Black Masculinity
What masculinity, legacy, and healing mean to Whitfield today
“My dad taught me what not to be [as a man] and my mom taught me what she needed [in a man],” Whitfield said. While his father wasn’t abusive, he wasn’t emotionally or affectionately present. “Since I didn’t see it, I never got it either… I would look at my dad and say, ‘I want to be a better father.’ ”
Adoption had always been on his spirit, influenced by TV shows like Different Strokes and Punky Brewster. This mindset led him to take in his nephew as his son after a powerful dream confirmed what he already felt in his heart.
