Which signs go together?
Pick two signs to see how the tradition reads the pair: the two elements, the angle between the signs on the wheel, and a note on the pairing itself. A Sun sign is one placement of ten, so this is the opening line of a longer conversation, not the whole of it.
How a pair is read
Two things decide the reading: the elements of the two signs (fire, earth, air, water) and how far apart the signs sit on the wheel. Signs of one element share a temperament; signs two or six apart share a friendly element; signs three apart share a modality but not an element; neighbours and signs five apart share neither. Each case has its paragraph, and each of the 78 pairs has a note of its own.
