Opposites Attract | Can Water Put Out Fire?

They say opposites attract. I supposed it is true. When I look at the couples I know, there is always one person in the relationship that is more bold, and a lot more colorful at something than the other. I haven't seen a couple that is mutually vibrant or mutually dim.


I was born under the zodiac sign of FIRE.
Fire is bright, strong, and takes control. It wants to be in charge. You never can miss fire. Never subtle, the most confident of all the signs. When it wants something you will know! Fire people do not stop until they get what they want. Look to the fire people as the leaders. The majority of world leaders have strong fire elements in their charts. People look to fire people as the energy boosters of the zodiac. The motivators and pep talk people are usually fire people. These people are very proud and confident. Fire people can also be very arrogant and self-centered. Don't go to a fire person for sympathy or comforting. They just don't have the time. They have no patience for emotionalism or heaviness. They tend to run over the weaker, shyer signs.

Generally compatible with air signs, fire signs can become tired and bored with the intellectual observations of the more communicative air signs. Without the encouragement and ideas of the air signs the fire signs would be lost. A fire sign is the boss who takes your ideas and motivates and leads all the employees to better sales and marketing while taking all the credit.

SO was born under the zodiac sign of WATER. 
Like the water in a glass, water signs conform to the elements around them. Feelings, emotions, and deep personal conversations are what motivates and stimulates the water signs. Sensitive to a fault, the water signs are often more concerned with your feelings and needs then their own. Psychic and secretive are often characteristics of the water elements. When they can no longer withstand the emotions of the world, they often retreat into their own private worlds. Sometimes this leads to compulsive behaviors and fearful ways of life. If the emotions get too strong, these people can be become addicted to drugs, alcohol, food or anything that keeps them from feeling as deeply.

Trust is a big need of theirs, which the earth signs can bring to water. Earth signs also bring the need stability and consistency to water that keeps it contained in a healthy calmer manner. In fact, water signs can be so emotional that the simplest things can get blown out of proportion into big dramatic scenes. Water signs dislike the strong boisterous personalities of the air and fire signs.

The Bottom Line:
For better or for worst. These two signs have merged for more than a decade ago. There is no secret. When you're not with a joker, you aren't going to get any jokes. It is a two way street, you cannot have a funny moment if you don't have an audience. I used to joke that I took to blogging because it is consistent with my life with SO. I write something funny, and it just evaporates. And now, it doesn't even matter anymore, because for as long as I have been with SO I have adapted to many of his characteristics.

By the way, I love the book called The New Chinese Astrology by Suzanne White. It is old - a friend gave it too me in year 2000. But it is 98% accurate for most signs and descriptions of the zodiac signs. In case you are interested in reading about your sign and your family's signs and which signs they might be more compatible with, this is a great read. Not selling, just sharing.
It will also help you understand the person or persons you're with better.
