Composite Moon-Mercury
The conjunction between the Moon and Mercury indicates a relationship where the intellectual and the emotional are blended.

The opposition between the Moon and Mercury can bring friction and fascination.

Or, one person may be an emotional communicator, while the other is very intellectual, so they have to work together to reach a mutual understanding. Reaching a balance is key here.

However, if the Composite Venus is in Pisces, one person may express their love in a dreamy and impractical way, which is opposite to what Virgo represents.
