Libra and Pisces get on from about the first week, and not because they match. The two signs stand 150 degrees apart, a Quincunx, the angle with nothing in common: there is no natural fight here and no natural support either.
The elements pull opposite ways. Libra needs a problem named and settled on fair terms; Pisces needs it not to be named aloud at all.
Which produces the one habit everything else in this pair grows out of: nobody refuses anybody.
Where this pair rubs
Everything that goes wrong here goes wrong at the same spot: neither Libra nor Pisces says no while saying it still costs nothing. The yes buys five peaceful minutes, and the bill arrives as a lost evening, a loan that is not coming back, and irritation with nobody to aim it at.
Two arrangements hold. Any request, from relatives, friends or each other, gets its answer the next day rather than on the spot: a night removes the polite yes and leaves what both will actually do. And the household money sits in its own account, apart from the personal ones, or neither of them ever sees the balance.
Neither of them can refuse a request
A weekend invitation, a friend needing help with a move, somebody's dog for a week — the yes is instant and the cost turns up on Thursday. Libra agrees so nobody is left awkward; Pisces agrees because the wish to help was real.
By the end of the month the calendar holds no free evening, and there is nobody to blame for it.
Money leaves quietly on both sides
Large purchases get discussed. Small ones evaporate. Libra pays for whatever makes the flat pleasant to come home to, Pisces lends a friend two hundred and mentions it again neither in a month nor in a year. A shared card here tends to end with each saying they assumed the other watched the balance.
Arguments turn into several polite days
A real row is hard to start. Libra smooths the ground in advance, Pisces goes quiet and answers more softly than usual.
The unpleasant subject only gets discussed on the third attempt; the first two slide back into everything being fine. The complaint does not leave, it returns half a year later as a remark about something that happened in March.
The angle between Libra and Pisces
Libra and Pisces stand 150° apart on the zodiac wheel, and astrology calls that distance the Quincunx. The angle never changes: it is the same for every pair of these two signs, whatever else the two charts hold.
Air and Water are the classically awkward elements: what one of them treats as obvious, the other has to be talked into.
Cardinal and Mutable are two different speeds: one sets the pace, the other decides how long it lasts.
The pair has two rulers, Venus and Neptune, and each side reads the relationship through its own.
Compare the real charts
A Sun sign is only the outline. A synastry chart puts two full birth charts side by side — Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses — and shows where the two of you actually meet.

Answers
Libra and Pisces: common questions
They do, and the first months look faultless: no pressure, no raised voices. The strain shows where something unpleasant has to be named, and naming it appeals to neither of them.
Libra on paper, since Libra at least lays the options out. In practice whoever met the question first decides it, and the other agrees afterwards and never quite treats the choice as their own.
Because Pisces expects a mood to be read without words, and Libra reads statements rather than moods. The silence gets taken for agreement and the evening carries on.
Yes, provided one of them takes on the deadlines and the bills. Warmth is not what runs short in this house; what runs short is the person who checks whether the money lasts to the thirtieth.
Rarely, and almost without noise. Instead of a row come a few days of politeness a degree cooler than usual, after which one of them acts as though nothing happened.
