About 2 Sign Apart/Sextile matches
It’s easy and breezy to be around people who live two zodiac signs away. Your signs are always of a compatible “element” (for example, one of you is a water sign and the other is an earth sign). Thus, you’ll have similar values and attitude about everything: food, music, politics, family, which movies to rent. The lack of self-consciousness you feel around each other makes it easy to take new risks. You feel comfortable lounging around braless reading books on a Sunday, or peeing with the door open.
Friendship and communication are the hallmarks of this aspect. You’re the duo that could go on Survivor or The Amazing Race and smoke the competition because you’re so in sync. You play well together, so you make fabulous party co-hosts if your circles overlap. Business ventures between these signs are favorable, too, since you bring out each other’s creativity and productivity.
Being best friends is easy. Keeping the spark alive? A little challenging. Sextile couples need to structure “date nights” or set up scenarios that get you out of buddy mode and well, put the “sex” back in “sextile.” Friends and coworkers need to consciously introduce new topics and activities to avoid falling into a glazed-eye rut.

2 Signs Apart/Sextile relationship essential skills
Add spice liberally
This astrological angle is one of friendships and siblings. After the excitement of discovering you have everything in common, sextile life together can get kind of flat and predictable. The issue: You feel so at ease around each other that you may take each other for granted. The two-signs-apart couple can avoid this trap by proactively introducing life-expanding ideas into the relationship. Sharing new restaurants, movies, vacations and intellectually stimulating experiences can keep things fresh.
Use body language, not buddy language
Dude. Bruh. Homie. The first syllable of each other’s names. Whatever your impersonal nicknames are, the fist-bumping camaraderie will make this relationship feel more like “The Hangover” than a cherished connection. Yeah, it’s fun to punch each other’s arms and tease like teenage siblings. But remember, sibling relationships can also be cruel. Make an effort to compliment each other, even if it feels silly, awkward and formal. If you’re a couple, skip the cutesy nicknames and baby talk—or at least cut back on it.
Have a common enemy or gripe
Okay, we don’t really recommend this as a long-term strategy, because y’know, it’s kind of a time-waster to bond over bitching. A less toxic version of this is sharing a laugh over a quirky observation. But the power of this relationship is in your synergistic worldviews and easy dialogue. Just when you’ve run out of things to talk about and are about to start bickering or neglecting each other—bam. Along comes that person whose outrageous self-centeredness offends you both for the same reasons. Who can dissect the episode blow by blow better than your two-signs-away buddy? Nobody.
