The astrology behind this match
Neighboring signs
These signs sit next to each other on the zodiac wheel, so they have different elements and different modalities. Each sign is partly a reaction to the one before it, which creates curiosity and a sense of learning from each other, but also some friction and misunderstanding.
Fire and water can create steam or put each other out. Fire is direct and outgoing; water is sensitive and private. The connection can be intense, but it needs gentleness and patience.
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.
