Elements: Earth meets Air
Air lives in ideas and Earth lives in the practical world. Air can find Earth too cautious, and Earth can find Air unreliable, but together they can turn ideas into reality.
Modalities and aspect: Semi-sextile (neighbours)
A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them. When the starter respects the finisher's pace, they make a productive team.
As neighbouring signs, you are very different in temperament despite sitting side by side on the wheel. Each has what the other lacks, which can feel either refreshing or confusing.
