Here is what I have written in my "book" about the compatibility of the elements:
What are your thoughts?
Cardinal & Cardinal
Both signs are good at starting fresh schemes; Both signs have initiative and passion. When they know what they want, they just go for it!
They are both good at starting things, but set about finishing them in different ways. They get along much better when they accept each other’s well defined role in the partnership. As long as both are satisfied with their roles, their partnership works well and they almost always achieve the desired results.
Fixed & Fixed
Both signs could work hard towards their common ends. Any plans they have, they run them to completion to get the desired results. Both partners are stubborn and unrelenting. They are both determined and set on their goals. Thus both partners devote themselves to their relationship.
However, if they have difference of ideas, they would frequently be arguing with each other. They both won’t likely change their opinion, as that goes against their nature.
If both signs realize that cooperation is better than competition, they would work together.
One may give the other the impetus and encouragement to put their ideas into practice, rather than keep them in
Mutable & Mutable
They could form an awesome team with neither sign attempting to take charge. Neither partner feels the need to dominate the relationship.
On their combined ventures, one might tire easily, especially if they lose their interest, and then the\ other too would move on.
Both signs are persistent, and love to see the success of their endeavors.
Both signs want to keep moving from one pursuit to another, as their feelings and desires command. They help and motivate each other, keeping their partnership filled with innovation and excitement. Arguments are very scarce in their relationship, and any that occur are easily resolved.
Cardinal & Fixed
This is known as the King and General combination, where the Cardinals help to execute the general direction decided on by the Fixed signs. Fixed Signs have immense staying power, and while Cardinal Signs struggle to complete their goals, they start them easily. Together, these two help one another both begin and complete their goals. Both Signs can be extremely stubborn, the Cardinal Sign is most likely to give in to their Fixed Sign partner. This is often because they don’t have the innate ability to dig their feet and refuse to move as Fixed Signs, and usually little patience as well. Additionally, Cardinal Signs like to show their partner that they are loved and losing arguments is often how they attempt to do so.
Cardinal & Mutable
While Cardinal Signs easily make the first move, Mutable Signs may be less comfortable being pinned down to any one position, thing, or person. Cardinal Signs, however, don’t demand a fixed stance from their partner, demanding understanding, loyalty, and allegiance instead. Mutable Signs readily give those things to their partner, as they are able to appreciate many different points of view. Mutable signs easily see both sides of any topic, and usually spend their time in the middle ground, which Cardinal Signs may find as a breach of the allegiance. Similarly, Mutable Signs often feel Cardinal Signs are often two bullheaded, and that things are too often “us verses them,” which doesn’t suit the objective Mutable nature. If they can come to understand these differences in function, and understand that they are, in fact, on the same team, then they can form a strong union.
Fixed & Mutable
These two are rather different, in ways that are often complementary. Fixed Signs are all about unwavering conviction, and Mutable Signs are all about ambivalence and both sides of the story. Fixed Signs live in a world of black and white, whereas Mutable Signs exist in shades of grey. Trouble may arise when the Fixed Signs attempt to impose their convictions on their Mutable Sign partner. While the Mutable Sign is content to explore their partner’s opinions, they expect the same respect in return. This can cause frustration when the Fixed Sign seems to be narrow-minded. At the same time, the Fixed Sign may grow irritated with the Mutable Sign’s apparent lack of conviction. Despite the friction that arises in those areas, these two tend to get along swell and have strong relationships.
