Earth signs and air signs can work well as long as they're on the same page. Air signs are dreamers, so they're often not practical enough for earth signs. However, the match can work if the air sign realizes that the earth sign can help them realize their ideas. Earth signs enjoy getting ideas and concepts from air signs.^{[5]
