Tips for getting along
Don't assume the other understands you. Saying it specifically beats saying more.
Love
You're curious about each other, and often unsure what the other wants. If you're willing to ask and adjust, you'll build a rapport that's all your own.
Friendship
It takes some patience, and it will give you a completely different perspective.
Working together
Spell out process and expectations; with fewer misunderstandings, the partnership runs smoothly.
Each sign's personality
