How these two meet
You respected each other immediately and without discussing it, which is rarer for both of you than either has bothered to notice.
Respect is not warmth, and neither of you has ever needed that explained.
Aries moves and Capricorn assesses. The assessing is quick and the verdict is usually favourable, and Aries can feel the verdict landing and cannot feel anything underneath it.
Mars goes 2.13 years between reversals. Saturn spends 36.4 per cent of its time apparently travelling backwards and still arrives in the same place. One of you commits and then commits again. The other never stopped, and has never said so.
So a decade goes by in which nobody was unkind, nothing was dropped, each of you was privately proud of the other, and not one soft thing was said out loud.
You would both describe that as working. You would both be right.
For Aries, the work is saying the admiring thing at the moment it occurs, rather than after it has been earned twice more.
For Capricorn, the work is letting the verdict be visible while it is still forming, before it is safe to hand over.
And a third: neither of you is going to be the first one to be sentimental about this. Somebody has to be, and it will feel like losing.
The question
What would it cost to be impressed out loud?
One conscious action
one soft thing, unearned
This week say one admiring thing to the other one that they have not just earned. Not about a result. About something that is simply true of them.
You will both want to attach a reason to it. Do not attach a reason to it.
Mars commits and Saturn holds, and between the two of you almost nothing has ever failed.
So how many more years of nothing failing before either of you mentions it?
