Gemini understands by talking, Cancer by feeling. They read the same event through two different channels.
- Angle
- Semi-sextile (neighbors)
- Elements
- Air + Water
- Modalities
- Mutable + Cardinal
Neighboring signs share neither element nor modality. Each has what the other lacks, which can feel either complementary or foreign.
