Two of Cups

The partnership clicks. You like working with them. Liking someone is not the same as agreeing on what you are building.

What do you and this person actually want from the work, in one sentence each?

Ask them for their sentence this week and compare it to yours.

You and the other person get on well enough that money never comes up properly. Getting on is not a financial agreement.

What money question between you has been answered by a good mood instead of a conversation?

Put the arrangement in writing this week, however friendly.

The connection is real. Chemistry is doing a lot of the work, and it is covering a question about whether you actually want the same life.

What do you disagree about that you have agreed not to discuss?

Raise it this week, gently and plainly.

You want to decide with them, together, in agreement. Agreement is comfortable. It is not the same as either of you being right.

Where are you agreeing to keep the peace instead of saying what you think?

Say the disagreeing thing first this time, before you settle.

You are good at connection and you know it. Check whether you are using it to avoid the part where you are alone with yourself.

What do you do with an evening that has no one in it?

Spend one evening alone this week without filling it.

The collaboration is exciting and the work is better for it. Make sure the collaboration has not become the work.

What would you make if the other person were not in the room?

Make one thing alone this week and only then share it.
