Shekinah Garner and Sarper Guven’s Nearly Identical Birthdays Help Explain Their Volatile Relationship
Shekinah Garner and Sarper Güven’s relationship has come to an end. The 90 Day Fiancé couple recommitted in the season finale of 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 3. But they’ve since gone their separate ways, they’ve both confirmed, with Shekinah even opting not to participate in the upcoming tell-all special.
The pair’s acrimonious end isn’t too surprising for 90 Day fans, who’ve watched their sometimes messy relationship play out on screen over the past several years. And it makes even more sense when you look at it from an astrological perspective.
The ‘90 Day Fiancé’ couple are both Scorpios
Shekinah and Sarper are both Scorpios. People born under this sign tend to be extremely loyal and approach relationships with passionate intensity. But they can also be slow to open their hearts, guard their privacy, have a tendency to be jealous, and can hold a serious grudge.
Because each Scorpio sees the world in a similar way, they can actually be extremely compatible in relationships, with an intense romantic attraction and fiery sex life, notes Match.com. But they can also face big hurdles, especially if they aren’t completely open with each other or if they find themselves fighting each other for attention.
But for Shekinah and Sarper, there’s another wrinkle. Not only do they share the same Sun sign, but their birthdays are quite near each other on the calendar. Shekinah’s birthday is November 20, while Sarper was born November 21. In their minds, this works out to essentially the same birthday.
“There’s a big, big, big point: The time difference,” Sarper explained to a 90 Day producer. “It’s not born in the same date. We’re just born in the same moment.”
“Two years apart, though,” Shekinah chimed in. “It’s pretty amazing.”
Shekinah and Sarper are on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp
With their late November birthday, both Shekinah and Sarper were born on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp. Dubbed the “cusp of revolution,” people with this placement marry the emotional intensity of a Water sign with the energy and excitement of a Fire sign. The possessiveness and secrecy of a Scorpio is combined with the blunt honesty and need for independence that characterize a Sagittarius. We can see that in Shekinah’s outspoken comments about both her time on The Last Resort and the breakdown of her marriage with Sarper, as well as in Sarper’s candid remarks about how “difficult and emotionally exhausting” he found his time on the show.
If two late-stage Scorpios want their relationship to work long-term, they need to be emotionally vulnerable and commit to letting go of their ego. That can be hard to do in any situation. But for two people under the 90 Day microscope, it may be nearly impossible. The additional pressure of the cameras, fame, and interactions with other couples appear to have triggered the darker qualities of both Shekinah and Sarper’s astrological chart, including mistrust, jealousy, and power plays.
At first, Shekinah and Sarper’s shared birthday seemed to be a sign that they were fated to be together. But these two Scorpios eventually burned through their own boundaries. Their decision to part ways is in some ways inevitable. Scorpios are all about transformation, with a journey that is often marked by conflict as they work to better understand themselves and emerge stronger after periods of change.
