I'd be interested in what other aspects, especially involving Mercury are there. The square aspect is stronger. So my advice is simply to be careful of too much talking that is not actually achieving more communication. Also look to create some separate mental spaces where one person's media/noise habits and tastes are not intruding upon the others'.

Those two aspects together in synastry show two people willing and quick to communicate, but also over-do it and irritate each other, too easily leading to arguments.

See if you can feel out the difference between 'hard square' and 'flowing sextile' in your actual communication patterns and always try to bend your own habits in communicating with them back to flowing.

Otherwise, the two of you will tend to do quite a bit of talking past each other at times, rather than listening. Active listening is needed here.
