There is absolutely no value to astrological matching. Sounds like you need some counseling help from your pastor, in how to determine if you and the girl are decent matches for each other.

Genesis 1:14
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days, and years:

The Bible says that we are not to follow astrology. Certainly we cannot depend upon it to choose our dates or mates!
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (Contemporary English Version)
10-11Don’t sacrifice your son or daughter. And don’t try to use any kind of magic or witchcraft to tell fortunes or to cast spells or to talk with spirits of the dead. 12The LORD is disgusted with anyone who does these things, and that’s why he will help you destroy the nations that are in the land.
Deuteronomy 4:19 (NIV)
And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
Isaiah 47:13-14 (New International Version)
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!
Let your astrologers come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;
the fire will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.
Here are no coals to warm anyone;
here is no fire to sit by.
15 That is all they can do for you—
these you have labored with
and trafficked with since childhood.
Each of them goes on in his error;
there is not one that can save you.
Jeremiah 10:2 (New International Version)
2 This is what the LORD says:
“Do not learn the ways of the nations
or be terrified by signs in the sky,
though the nations are terrified by them.”
However, I think you might learn about human personalities and quirks when you read descriptions of the sun signs. You might gain insight into why a person acts or thinks a certain way–whether it relates to their astrological sign or not. (This is my own opinion, not something I read in the Bible.)
Although we’re not allowed to follow astrology, that doesn’t mean that astrology is totally invalid. The Wise Men of Luke 2 were astrologers, and they used that knowledge to find and worship the Christ Child. Jesus himself said, in Luke 21:25, “”There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars.” I think the danger is that the spirits behind astrology might enslave us or make us terrified, and that’s why we are to avoid it.
BTW, the stars themselves are not evil. There are plenty of positive references to stars in the Bible, including that WE will shine like stars! (See Daniel 12 and Philippians 2.) This is probably why we refer to our celebrities today as “stars”.
God is not going to let his choice of the right date or mate for you be hindered by her astrological sign.
Also BTW, you don’t have to go crazy about this. I was born on December 21 and I’ll say that I’m a Sagittarius, though I don’t ascribe to astrology. The Zodiac exists in astronomy, too.
