Scores are a simple guide based on the angle between your signs and your elements. Real compatibility depends on whole charts — compare Moon and Venus signs too.
Elements and Modalities: Fire + Earth
Fire and earth move at different speeds. The fire sign wants to leap; the earth sign wants a plan. When it works, earth gives fire's ideas a foundation and fire gives earth's plans a spark — but patience is needed on both sides.
A cardinal sign leads and a mutable sign adapts. Plans get made and adjusted with ease; just ensure the mutable partner's input isn't overridden by the cardinal partner's speed.
Ruling Planets
Aries is ruled by Mars: Mars gives drive, desire and directness. Virgo is ruled by Mercury: Mercury gives curiosity and a need to talk. In the relationship, Mars and Mercury have to find a rhythm that honours both.
Love & Attraction
Attraction can feel fated or puzzling; you keep learning about each other.
