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