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 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.
Taurus in love
Taurus falls in love slowly and stays for a long time. It values loyalty, physical closeness and care shown through actions - a good dinner, a cosy home, a meaningful gift. Sudden change and uncertainty unsettle it, and jealousy wakes up when its stability feels threatened.
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.
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.
