Josip Broz Tito and Natalija Verboten: A match made in heaven?

Slovenian superstar Natalija Verboten was just a little girl when Marshal Tito died in May 1980.¹ But according to this site, which examines their astrological data, the two of them would have been perfect for each other. Verboten’s astrological chart is full of vague contradictions. She is "dependent"… but "independent." She’s "passionate"… but "practical." And she’s "resolute"… but "not patient enough." In other words, she is everything and its opposite simultaneously. (This is a great example of the Forer Effect, by the way.) Tito’s chart, meanwhile, casts him as a "man of iron will" and a "stonewaller" who has "fuzzy ideas" and "illusions." Basically, an ideal partner. After learning that, here is what the site² says about Verboten and Tito as a couple:

Same "Passionate Force", love for systematic order, charisma (they both are good with people, that does not mean that they actually love people. For they both are rather individualistic, independent types.) Verboten’s Venus likes determination of Tito’s Mars. That’s one of the reasons Natalija Verboten tends to appreciate Marshal Tito more positively than the majority of population. And she’s also conservatively loyal to order (Tito is a symbol of that in her eyes).

Hmm. Although there’s no doubt that Tito liked women (a lot), I suppose we’ll never know if he died before he could meet his true soulmate…

1. Interesting sidenote: Verboten’s hometown, Velenje, changed its name to Titovo Velenje in 1981, in honor of Yugoslavia’s President-for-life, who had recently died. After Slovenia’s independence in 1991 the town, along with other places across Yugoslavia, reverted back to its old name. 2. Be careful wandering around the site.
