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: Square
Both are Cardinal signs, natural initiators. They each like to lead, so they should agree early on who steers which parts of shared life.
Your signs form a square, astrology's angle of friction. Tension can be motivating and attractive, but it asks for compromise and maturity.
