Communication & Mind
- Virgo: direct, specific, loves clear definitions and steps. Pisces: symbolic, story-led, communicates via mood and metaphor.
- Best practice: translate. Virgo asks, "What does this mean in practice?" Pisces asks, "What does this mean for feelings and purpose?"
- Use shared tools: weekly agendas, safe-words for overwhelm, and a "parking lot" doc for future ideas.
- Green flags: Virgo listens without fixing; Pisces receives feedback without taking it personally.

- Cautions: Venus square Neptune can over-idealize; balance fantasy with consent, clarity, aftercare.
- Best practices: unhurried pacing, sensory rituals (music, lighting, scent), feedback loops during intimacy.
Trust & Boundaries
- Transparency is the antidote to Neptunian fog. Write down agreements; keep promises small and visible.
- Potential flashpoint: Mercury square Mars — defensive debates. Use time-outs and return with I-statements.
- Signs of drift: white lies, hidden spending, vanishing during conflict. Address patterns early with a shared "integrity check" ritual.
- Boundary script: "I can do X by Friday; anything more would overwhelm me." Clear limits help both feel safer.

Working Together & Money

- Decision tool: one-page decision brief (goal, constraints, costs, timeline, owner). Revisit after 30 days.
