Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh are standing strong in the face of a serious health challenge. 

The 90 Day Fiancé stars have endured plenty of ups and down over their years together, from Sumit’s initial catfishing of his future wife to conflict with his parents to disputes over finances. Yet despite the difficulties, Jenny and Sumit managed to forge a strong and loving partnership. Sadly, that bond is now facing its biggest test yet following Jenny’s ALS diagnosis

Even though Jenny is facing a dire prognosis, she and Sumit are determined to do what they can to get her treatment. That includes navigating the complex U.S. immigration system so that Sumit can hopefully accompany his wife if she seeks care in America. Fortunately, the couple’s bond is rock solid, despite their age gap and cultural differences. But makes total sense when you look at their astrological alignment.

Sumit Singh and Jenny Slatten’s Scorpio-Aquarius dynamic

Jenny and Sumit From ’90 Day Fiancé’ Share Devastating Update on Her Health: ‘Can’t Talk’

Born on November 21, Jenny sits right at the end of Scorpio’s range on the Zodiac. Scorpios are fixed water signs known for unrelenting passion and complete devotion to those they love. While Scorpio might be slow to open up, once they commit, they will uproot their entire life for love. Jenny demonstrated that kind of devotion when she gave up her life in California to move to India to be with Sumit. The move makes even more sense when you consider that Jenny actually sits on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp. She marries the devotion of a Scorpio with Sagittarius’ sense of rebellion and independence. 

Sumit, whose birthday is January 21, sits right on the cusp of Capricorn and Aquarius. Aquarians are known for breaking tradition and marching to the beat of their own drum, an inclination that allowed Sumit to ignore societal norms in India regarding age and traditional marriage. He’s held fast to his love for Jenny despite immense pushback from his parents and community. The Capricorn elements come out in Sumit’s determination to find a way to help Jenny through her health challenges, despite significant obstacles.

Both Scorpio and Aquarius are also Fixed signs, which translates to serious stubbornness on both sides. While that can cause friction in a relationship, in Jenny and Sumit’s case it also strengthened their bond. Once they decided to stick together, neither Sumit’s family’s threats nor cultural barriers could convince them to give up on their marriage.

Communication can be a problem for Scorpio-Aquarius pairings 

The dynamic between Jenny’s Scorpio need for emotional security and candid truth-telling and Sumit’s Aquarian desire for freedom and independence has played out repeatedly on TLC screens.

Scorpios can be jealous, as Sumit discovered when Jenny discovered his secret arranged marriage to an Indian woman. Jenny understandably felt betrayed by the deception, particularly because Scorpios want transparency in relationships. 

Issues of honesty have continued to plague their marriage. On 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 3, Jenny and Sumit clashed when he confessed that he’d borrowed money to pay for his parents’ rent. Open communication is key to making a Scorpio-Aquarius relationship work, and it’s something the couple continues to work on. 

But despite some astrological clashes, Jenny and Sumit are more committed to each other than ever as she navigates her devastating ALS diagnosis. Aquarius has been dubbed the “humanitarian” of the Zodiac, and Sumit is living up to that as he steps up as his wife’s primary caretaker. And as an Air sign, he’s likely embracing a logical approach to managing her illness, such as trying to find a solution to their visa challenges. 

Scorpios like Jenny are associated with the Phoenix, the mythical creature that rises from the ashes. Even as she faces reduced mobility and speech struggles, she remains resilient. As a Water sign, she is also likely focused on emotions and maintaining her and Sumit’s spiritual connection during this difficult time. 

While Jenny and Sumit’s Water and Air combination can present communication challenges, the heavy Fixed influence in both of their charts keeps them firmly anchored to one another during life’s hardest moments.
