Their sense of partnership is internal--meaning they tend to show their affection in indirectly thoughtful ways. <br />Just knowing the Sun signs is a boon for character profiles.<br />I'm happy this works for you, Margaret!<br />Have a great vacation.

Having said that, it might be interesting (in my case) to decide afterwards which 'sun sign' they fit the best although (as I'm sure Ana will point out) the sun sign is only one part of an astrological profile.
