Elements: Water meets Air
Air thinks and Water feels. Air may intellectualise emotions that Water wants simply acknowledged, yet when they listen, Air helps Water gain perspective and Water helps Air open up.
Modalities and aspect: Quincunx
A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them. When the starter respects the finisher's pace, they make a productive team.
Your signs form a quincunx, an awkward angle with little in common. These matches need conscious adjustment, but they can teach both partners a great deal.
