The astrology behind this match
Inconjunct (five signs apart)
These signs have neither element nor modality in common, so the connection asks for constant adjustment. What feels natural to one can feel strange to the other. With curiosity and patience, though, this can become a fascinating relationship where each partner discovers a completely different way of seeing the world.
Air thinks and water feels. Air can help water see things more clearly, and water can help air connect with emotions, but misunderstandings are common.
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.
