On the wheel

Two signs apart (a sextile, 60°)

Water and earth in a helpful mood. Cancer nurtures, Virgo fixes, and both show love by doing the thing that needed doing. Tradition reads the sextile as quiet, kind and competent, with the caution that two carers can forget to be cared for.

Earth and water make things grow. Water brings feeling and imagination, earth brings a container and a plan, and each steadies the other. Tradition reads the strain in pace and expression: earth can seem unmoved when water needs a response, and water can seem to drift when earth needs a decision. It works when care is spoken as well as shown.

Two signs apart, the pair shares a friendly temperature: fire with air, or earth with water. Tradition reads the sextile as easy company, good conversation and a natural teamwork that asks little effort. The risk is that it asks so little that nobody digs deeper. It works best when the ease is used for something.

This reads two Sun signs only. A chart has ten bodies, a rising sign and houses, so two people with these Sun signs can make a very different pair. The birth chart calculator draws each chart in full.
