How do their elements interact?

Two water signs understand each other’s moods almost without words. Emotional intimacy and loyalty come easily. The risk is that both absorb stress at once; one partner needs to be the steady shore when the other is overwhelmed, and honest words prevent silent hurt.

How do their temperaments compare?

Both are movable (chara) signs, natural initiators. Life together is active and goal-driven, but both want to lead; dividing areas of responsibility avoids power struggles.

Are the sign lords friends (Graha Maitri)?

Both signs are ruled by Moon, so the Graha Maitri factor scores the full 5 points: you are driven by the same planetary principle.

What is their Bhakoot (sign distance)?

Same sign (1/1): traditionally acceptable and scores full Bhakoot points. Shared temperament makes understanding easy, though you may share the same blind spots.
