Mercury and Venus

As co-founders

As co-founders, the 5 regards the 6 as friend and the 6 regards the 5 as friend, which grades the pair Aligned. Practitioners give the 5 marketing, communication, customer presentation (finance with an 8) and the 6 external relations, exports, design, counselling; the pair works while each keeps to that side of the room.

Roles: 5 takes marketing, communication, customer presentation (finance with an 8); 6 takes external relations, exports, design, counselling.
