Quincunx
Signs in a quincunx share neither element nor modality. The attraction comes from being different, but your partner's logic can be hard to follow. These couples need flexibility and a willingness to adjust.
Elements
Fire and water make steam and passion. The fire partner acts on impulse and speaks bluntly, the water partner feels deeply and remembers hurt. The attraction can be very strong, and so can the clashes: one feels smothered, the other feels wounded. This couple has to learn to handle each other gently.
Pace and temperament
The fixed sign brings stability, the mutable sign brings lightness and change. You can balance each other if the fixed partner does not push too hard and the mutable one does not slip away from commitments.
Leo in love
Leo loves in style - with gestures, gifts and admiration. It needs a partner who is proud of it and says so. In return Leo gives warmth, protection and loyalty. Being ignored or criticised in front of others wounds its pride most of all.
Pisces in love
Pisces loves romantically and selflessly. It needs emotional depth, tenderness and the feeling of being understood without words. Pisces easily idealises its partner, so disappointment hurts it especially. It needs someone who treats its feelings with care.
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.
