The Combination
Opposite rising — one of the zodiac's great tensions: the diplomat who secretly wants to lead, the peacemaker with a warrior's rising. This person is always managing the gap between their need for harmony and their suppressed directness.
Air Sun + Fire Rising
Air feeds fire — this combination is naturally expansive, energized, and enthusiastic. Ideas come quickly and are expressed with confidence. The risk is burning through everything without the patience to consolidate.
