Aspects
Juno Square Mercury
Your thinking and your need for a committed bond keep getting in each other's way. You may argue the terms of a relationship endlessly, nitpick a partner, or use clever words to win where you needed to simply connect, then go silent and resentful when it does not work. Communication and commitment get tangled, so the bond becomes a debate. This square wants action, not a truce: to speak in order to understand rather than to win, to say the hard true thing instead of the clever one, and to let conversation serve the partnership, until your voice and your commitment stop fighting and start building the bond.
Lean in — Speak to understand your partner, not to win the argument.
Watch for — Litigate the relationship instead of actually living it.
