Mercury in Virgo squaring off with your composite Venus in Capricorn - like sending a highly organized choirboy to negotiate with a rigid, goal-oriented CEO. This might test your harmony as it carries a tension that can turn your otherwise pleasant relationship into an endless board meeting.

Mercury is the planet of communication and Virgo, its home turf, blesses it with the focus and precision of a litter-picking perfectionist on a seaside beach; every word, every look, every emoji will matter. You'll find yourselves picking apart sentences, dissecting text messages, and lost in the labyrinth of semantic nitpicking. Here's hoping you remember the emergency exit!

Meanwhile, Venus in hardworking Capricorn reflects an overall longing for structure and longevity in your relationship. You are trying to construct the Eiffel Tower, not a sandcastle that surrenders to the first high tide. Therefore, any appearance of inconsistency or frivolity, courtesy of Mercury chattering in Virgo, might not be welcomed.

Ah, but don't forget Venus has a sweet tooth for harmony. You will notice yourselves reaching out to keep things from going haywire because as seriously as Capricorn takes its meetings, it understands that not every meeting needs to be a grueling marathon. Sometimes, you can get away with a swift sprint and still enjoy a lovely evening.

The tension between Mercury and Venus in your case could induce the kind of irritation you feel when someone can't stop opening snack wrappers during your favorite movie. However, see it as an opportunity, not a tribulation, because even if meetings get intense, Capricorn will sneeze at unnecessary drama and Virgo will spot the nearest exit. Thus, with a shared value for efficiency, 'you' will evolve. Take a breath, keep your cool, keep your humor, and always remember to keep those wrappers silent during the movie. Good luck!
