Where it works and where it rubs
Elements. Air feeds Fire: ideas spark action and enthusiasm lifts conversation. This is a lively, sociable combination that keeps both people curious.
Modalities. A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them: a good division of labor if neither tries to control the other.
Polarity. Both are active (yang: Fire or Air) signs, so your basic energy matches.
