Trust & Boundaries

• Trust builds through data and time: consistent check-ins, reliability, zero leak of private info.
• Transparency note: name your deals with Neptune (confusion, idealization). Keep receipts and timelines for sensitive matters.
• Red flag aspect: Mars square Mercury—words feel like attacks. Switch to written notes or therapist-mediated sessions if it shows up.

• Non-negotiables: fidelity, confidentiality, and honoring “no” immediately.

Daily Life & Routines

• Home: minimal clutter, dedicated work zones, high-quality basics, a locked drawer for private items.
