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.

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.

Both signs are fixed: loyal, determined and stubborn. The relationship can be extremely steady, but disagreements can turn into stand-offs.
