- Decision method: write 3 options, 3 pros/cons each, pick within 48 hours. Prevents endless loops.
- Conflict rule: no triangulation or “white lies” to avoid discomfort — it erodes trust fast.
- Tools: shared notes app for plans, safe word for overload, and “repair rituals” after arguments.
Emotional Compatibility (Moon matters)
- Check the Moon: harmonious Moon links help translate head↔heart.

- Caution transit/synastry: Mercury square Mars can trigger sharp words or defensiveness — use time-outs, then summarize and reflect.
- Honesty policy: no “polite” omissions. If unsure, say “I’m tempted to avoid this; here’s the truth.”

- Repair steps: name the rupture → own your part → make a small, trackable promise.
