Three signs apart (a square, 90°)

Shared ruler

Mercury, in the traditional scheme

Both ruled by Mercury, both quick, in different directions: Gemini gathers, Virgo sorts. Tradition reads this square as a clash of two clever people who correct each other, and also as a pair that can run anything together once they stop editing each other's sentences.

Earth and air think differently: earth from the ground up, air from the idea down. Together they can be very effective, air supplying the plan and earth the method. Tradition reads the strain as a question of what is real: earth wants the thing in hand, air wants room to speculate. It works when each stops treating the other's way as a mistake.

Three signs apart, the two share a modality but not an element: both are starters, both are keepers, or both are adapters, and they go about it in different materials. Tradition reads the square as friction with a purpose: the pair pushes each other to act, and the arguments are real. It works when the friction is turned on a shared problem instead of on each other.

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.
