Air's ideas meet earth's practicality: useful but sometimes frustrating. In astrology the pair forms a semi-sextile (neighbours). Neighbouring signs are very different in style; each has what the other lacks, which can attract or irritate.

## 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.
