Two accommodating signs, and nobody in the house who states a preference.","Two people being considerate at each other","Libra and Pisces are both accommodating, and this pairing is where that stops being a virtue and becomes a mechanism.\n\nAt 150 degrees they hold a quincunx: no shared element, no shared cross, not even a border. Nothing about how the other one arrives at anything is available by instinct here, and both fill the gap with the assumption that the other is being straightforward.\n\nWhat these two do share is a horror of unpleasantness and a talent for absorbing it, so this is a household where a great deal is agreed and very little has actually been decided by anybody.",[12,15,18],{"heading":13,"body":14},"Two kinds of yielding","Libra yields in order to keep the balance, and knows exactly what has been given up. Pisces yields by not registering a preference in the first place, and finds out later that there was one.\n\nThe difference matters. Libra can produce an account of every concession; Pisces has only a general sense of having disappeared. Neither account is easy for the other to answer.",{"heading":16,"body":17},"The decision that never happens","Somebody has to choose the flat, end the friendship, or say that this year there is no money for the trip.\n\nBetween these two the choice tends to be made by the deadline. Both are relieved and neither is satisfied, and each privately believes the other was the one holding it up.\n\nThe pairs that do well here usually adopt something artificial: one of them owns a category outright and does not consult on it. It feels unromantic to both and it is the difference between a pleasant life and a stalled one.",{"heading":19,"body":20},"Where the pair is lovely","Nobody is unkind in this household. Neither raises their voice, neither uses the other's weak spot in an argument, and both are unusually good at forgiving.\n\nThat is not a small achievement, and it is the reason this improbable combination often lasts. Both have usually had harder relationships and neither is in any hurry to swap this one for excitement.","The rub is that both leave rather than object. Libra leaves by becoming charming and unavailable; Pisces leaves by becoming vague. Neither is a scene and both are the same event.\n\nUnderneath is a difference about people. Libra needs a social world and is diminished without one. Pisces needs long stretches with nobody in the house and finds the diary tiring. Neither will state this as a requirement, so the calendar is negotiated by hints, and both end up with a version of the week that neither of them would have chosen.",[23,26,29,32,35],{"q":24,"a":25},"Are Libra and Pisces compatible?","They are gentle together and structurally unsupported, which makes for a pairing that is kind and slow. Nothing here is inherited. What must be built is decisiveness and the ability to say a plain preference, since the pair contains nobody who does either by instinct.",{"q":27,"a":28},"Why do Libra and Pisces avoid decisions?","Because for one of them a decision risks unfairness and for the other it risks being pinned to something. Both defer sincerely and each reads the other's deferral as generosity. Nothing in the pair pushes back, so the matter waits for an external deadline.",{"q":30,"a":31},"What makes a quincunx difficult?","It is the 150-degree distance, with no shared element, cross or adjacency to translate through. Two signs here have no instinct for how the other reaches a conclusion. The assumptions each makes are drawn from their own method and are usually wrong in a way nobody notices.",{"q":33,"a":34},"Do Libra and Pisces argue?","Rarely and indirectly, which is not the advantage it looks like. Grievances are converted into mood rather than sentences, and both are skilled at reading mood without addressing it. What surfaces is usually months old by the time it is spoken.",{"q":36,"a":37},"Is this pairing romantic?","Unusually so, and both would admit it. Each takes gestures, atmosphere and small kindnesses seriously, and neither finds that embarrassing. The romance is genuine; what it does not supply is a mechanism for handling the parts of a shared life that require somebody to be firm.","c",1789041548158]
