Both of you possess great sensitivity and sympathy, imagination and intuition. You can communicate and understand one another at a very deep level, which is rare and very satisfying for both of you.
Non-judgmental acceptance, tolerance, generosity, compassion, a love of beauty and peace - these are some of the positive qualities you share. You also have some less desirable potentials: passivity, hyper-sensitivity, a desire to escape rather than confront life and its challenges, and an inability to set boundaries or limits. Together you are likely to reinforce both the positive and negative potentials that both of you have.
You are very sympathetic toward one another and may have an unusual close emotional or psychic tie. Both of you are dreamy, romantic, receptive, and strongly affected by others' emotions and the emotional tone of your surroundings. You need to avoid negative or abrasive people, for you quickly absorb those feelings and are adversely affected by them. Escaping into solitude, fantasy and imagination (or more negatively, drinking or drug use) may be a habit with both of you.
Both of you are very compassionate and giving, sometimes unwisely and indiscriminately so. Others can take advantage of your tender heartedness. You may try to rescue someone from a bad situation or a bad habit, only to find yourself victimised or a martyr to the cause. You may try to do too much for everyone else, and end up completely drained.
Because you are so alike, you understand one another's sensitivity and weaknesses very well. Remember, what you don't like about your partner is probably the very same thing you don't like about yourself!
The calming effect of living near a lake or ocean suit both of you well. Music is also a shared love of yours.
Both of you at times can seem cool, emotionally distant and unavailable, or disinterested in people, but this is only a mask. Inwardly, you are apt to feel unlovable, unworthy, or simply afraid to open up and share yourselves. A fear of rejection inhibits your expression of love and affection, and it may seem to you that relationships are too troublesome and too painful to bother with. Security may become extremely important to you, so that you are apt to choose "safe", reliable people to be with - perhaps individuals who are older and more established and settled that you are. Learning to be more playful, and to overcome your fears of intimacy and your tendency to isolate yourselves, are challenges in life that you have in common. In one another, you may have found a wonderful friend who understands your shy heart and your loneliness. You also have come across one who will mirror for you some of your own most difficult life lessons.
You will experience the heights and depths, love and hate, attraction and repulsion, agony and ecstasy in this relationship.
A powerful, compelling fascination and irresistible sexual attraction draws the two of you together like magnets. You love each other with a depth of feeling that is surprising even to yourselves. The powerful charismatic power that you have over each other can be used to manipulate one another, and dominance, control, or jealousy easily become hot issues between you. Whether this is a brief passionate encounter or a life long attachment, you will change one another profoundly.
Your conversations will reveal to both of you aspects of yourselves that have been hidden - either purposely concealed or long ago denied and buried. Without even trying, the two of you will make the other confront those underlying assumptions, unquestioned beliefs, and ways of thinking which you normally would take for granted. You also find yourselves divulging information, or questioning things which until now you were content to let lie.
Mysteries, secrets, investigating the underside of any issue - these will be a significant part of your relationship. Whether or not you are willing to see and consciously acknowledge some of these things will determine how well you two get along. Part of the purpose of your relationship is to bring to light and conscious understanding those parts of your lives that have not been examined before. For the well-being of both of you, make sure that you do not use the knowledge and information you have of one another as a tool to control or manipulate each other. Especially do not abuse your awareness of the other's psychological weakness and vulnerabilities.
Together you are capable of extreme dedication, concentration, and self-denial for the sake of a mutual goal. There is an obsessive unrelenting quality to this. Certainly when the two of you combine forces to accomplish something, you are a formidable team capable of enduring and going the distance. You won't collapse under pressure or shirk the necessary hardships.
However, you can be excessively one-sided, or may needlessly deny yourselves certain pleasures which you may consider distractions or a frivolous waste of energy. There may be a subtle tyranny going on, either towards yourselves, or one another. Unless you supply some gentleness and adaptability, what you achieve together in concrete terms may come at too dear a cost.
