Two scores from the signs
Temperament: 55 out of 100. Your Sun signs are air and water, elements that traditionally sit less easily together, and the rule scores that lowest: what comes naturally to one of you may take effort for the other.
Everyday pace: 70 out of 100. One of your Sun signs is cardinal (it starts things) and one is fixed (it keeps them going). The rule scores that in the middle: a strong pair once you agree where to go, a stubborn one before that.
Each score is one fixed rule about the two signs, given with it, so the same pair always gets the same score whichever sign comes first. It describes how easily the signs' tendencies fit together, not how a relationship goes.
On the zodiac wheel
Neighbouring signs, 30° apart. Neighbouring signs differ in element and in mode. Tradition reads them as quite unalike, each tending to have what the other lacks.
Talking and everyday life
Air tends to talk things through with logic; water tends to feel them through. Asking what the other thinks and asking how they feel tend to get very different answers.
Day to day one of you tends to start things and the other to see them through. It works best when the starter asks before changing course.
Where it gets hard
Your elements, air and water, tend to want different things from the same evening: what restores one of you may tire the other.
Whoever starts things may want to change course sooner than whoever keeps them going is ready for.
Questions to talk about together
- When we disagree, do we each want reasons or reassurance first?
- How do we want to handle a change of plan: ask first, or just go?
These are tendencies to talk about, not a verdict on a relationship. Take what rings true and leave the rest.
