Sextile

Sextile

Signs in sextile are two signs apart, and their elements are friendly. It is an easy, companionable match: you support each other's interests and easily find things to do together. The relationship grows through shared plans.

Elements

Water nourishes earth, and earth gives water its banks. The water partner brings feelings and care, the earth partner brings support and practicality. It is a harmonious, durable match for a long relationship and a family. The risk is keeping things in: both can find it hard to raise problems first.

Pace and temperament

The cardinal sign leads, the mutable sign adapts. This couple moves together easily: one suggests, the other picks it up and finds flexible solutions. The mutable partner just needs to keep their own voice.

Cancer in love

In love, Cancer needs to feel safe. It opens up gradually and looks after its partner like family. Cancer hopes for the same tenderness, attention to small things and certainty that it will not be abandoned. Harshness and indifference hurt it more than it shows.

Virgo in love

Virgo shows love through care rather than words: it remembers what you need, helps out and handles everyday problems. It takes time to trust and wants a partner it can rely on. Chaos and irresponsibility push Virgo away fastest.

Why one sign isn't enough

Sign compatibility compares only the position of the Sun. Even two couples with the same signs have their Moon, Venus and Mars in different places - which is why it comes easily to some and takes work for others. Exact compatibility is calculated from both partners' birth charts.
