Two fire signs make a lively, passionate match full of energy and fun. In astrology the pair forms a trine (four signs apart). Signs four apart share an element, the most harmonious aspect in traditional astrology.

## At a glance

Traditional harmony rating: ★★★★★ (based on the aspect between the signs). Real relationships depend on whole birth charts and, above all, on the people.
