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.
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.
A cardinal sign leads and a mutable sign adapts. This is usually an easy dynamic, though the mutable partner should make sure their own wishes are heard.
