The astrology behind this match
Square (three signs apart)
A square joins signs of the same modality but clashing elements. You both want to lead, hold firm or adapt in the same way, but you go about it differently. This creates tension and attraction at the same time, and it can push both partners to grow, as long as you respect each other.
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.
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.
