  • Aquarius: Air, Fixed
  • Angle between the signs: Quincunx (150°)

Scores combine three classic rules of astrology: the element of each sign (fire, earth, air, water), its mode (cardinal, fixed, mutable) and the angle between the two signs on the zodiac wheel. Same-element and complementary-element pairs score highest.
