The astrology behind this match
Opposite signs
Opposite signs share a modality and have complementary elements. The attraction is often strong, because each partner has what the other lacks. The challenge is to treat those differences as a balance rather than a tug of war.
Earth and water nourish each other. Earth offers security and structure; water offers emotional depth and care. This is one of the most supportive combinations.
Both signs are cardinal, so both like to start things and take the lead. Agree on who decides what, or you may compete for control.
