A double star · 60 gravity

A shared center of mass: the orbit holds while both stars keep their appointments.

Two consciences keeping score; remember to also keep joy.

The pattern

You share a stance toward the world, which makes your rhythms legible to each other and your collisions symmetrical. The relief is being understood; the work is what neither of you defaults to.

The trade

Type 6 brings loyalty that has already stress-tested the plan, and quietly envies type 2 the way giving comes to them without arithmetic. Type 2 brings attention that finds the need before it's spoken, and envies type 6 the loyalty that never has to be requested.
