Two scores from the signs
Temperament: 90 out of 100. You are both earth signs, and the rule scores a shared element highest: you tend to understand each other's temperament without much explaining.
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
Four signs apart, 120° (a trine). Signs four apart share their element. Tradition reads the trine as the most natural fit, where little needs explaining.
Talking and everyday life
Two earth signs tend to talk plainly and practically. You may say less about feelings than about plans, and still understand each other well.
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
Sharing an element also means sharing its blind spot: two earth signs tend to miss the same things.
Whoever starts things may want to change course sooner than whoever keeps them going is ready for.
Questions to talk about together
- Which feeling have we been handling practically that we could simply say?
- 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.
