The astrology behind this match
Sextile (two signs apart)
A sextile links signs whose elements support each other, fire with air or earth with water. The energy is friendly and easy-going: you encourage each other and communicate well. It works best when both put in a little effort, because it rarely forces you to grow.
Air and fire feed each other: ideas fuel passion, and passion turns ideas into action. This is a lively, social and optimistic combination.
A cardinal sign starts things and a fixed sign sustains them. This can be a productive mix, as long as the fixed partner doesn’t resist every new idea.
