Where it works and where it rubs
Elements. Two Water signs understand each other without words. Emotional depth comes naturally, though moods can amplify each other.
Modalities. A Cardinal sign sets the direction and a Mutable sign adapts and fills in the details.
Polarity. Both are receptive (yin: Earth or Water) signs, so your basic energy matches.
