Neighbouring signs
Neighbouring signs sit side by side on the wheel but work very differently: different elements and different ways of acting. Each sees in the other what it lacks itself. These couples learn from each other, though at first they may not understand each other's motives.
Elements
Air and earth live at different speeds. The air partner values ideas and freedom, the earth partner results and stability. You can complement each other well - one comes up with plans, the other makes them real - but without respect for your differences, irritation builds quickly.
Pace and temperament
The cardinal sign starts, the fixed sign sustains. One sets the direction, the other provides stability. Friction appears when the first wants change and the second wants to keep things as they are.
Capricorn in love
Capricorn does not play with feelings - it chooses someone seriously and for the long run. Its love shows in reliability, plans for the future and willingness to take responsibility. Talking about feelings is hard for it, but its word can be trusted. A careless partner makes it wary.
Aquarius in love
Aquarius needs its partner to be a friend first. It values intellectual closeness, respect for personal space and shared ideas. Aquarius can seem detached, but it gets deeply attached. Possessiveness and pressure push it away.
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.
