Mercury: how you talk
Long friendships are often built on conversation. Compatible Mercury placements make talking easy; contrasting ones bring new perspectives, and occasional crossed wires.

What your charts say about why a friendship works, and how to keep it working.
What your charts show
Where to look in both charts.
Venus: what you enjoy together
Venus describes taste and pleasure. Shared Venus elements explain why some friends always want the same plans, and differences explain the friend who drags you somewhere new.
The Moon: how you show up in hard times
In a crisis, the Moon shows whether each of you wants practical help, company or space. Knowing this avoids the classic mismatch of solving when the other wanted listening.
Friendships change
Saturn and Jupiter describe longer cycles. Many friendships drift and reconnect; charts give a calm way to talk about what each of you needs now.
Questions to ask each other

- What does a good catch-up look like for each of you?
- When life gets hard, do you want advice, company or space?
- What's a plan you'd each never suggest but might enjoy?
