Relationships with a rating of 6 out of possible 7 stars in some ways is better than 7 because there is still a great deal of harmony, yet there is a very manageable dynamism built-in as well that tends to keep the relationship growing.
The harmony these relationships have going for them is that they share the same polarity:
- Fire (warm and dry) + Air (warm and moist) = Yang
- Earth (cool and dry) + Water (cool and moist) = Yin
The dynamism stems from the geometry of their connection: these signs are 60° apart, based on division of the 360° circle by 6, itself a product of the tension of 2 times the ease of 3. Thus, unlike their 7 out of 7 star cousins, full compatibility isn’t exactly instant: it’s an enticing opportunity that requires some ongoing effort. This helps to keep these couples fresh and exciting, yet still having a base of commonality. The best of both worlds!
For these relationships to be sustainable, participants must be able to recognize the ongoing opportunity the relationship offers naturally. Examples include:
- ♈ Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) + ♊ Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20) = Fire with Air
- ♉ Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) + ♋ Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) = Earth with Water
