With Ceres transiting in Aries squaring your composite Juno in Aquarius, your relationship is entering an intense period where the demand for independence clashes with a deep need for mutual care. The fiery energy of Aries brought by Ceres emphasizes a nurturing style that is assertive and sometimes aggressive. This can create friction in your partnership, as the square to Juno in communicative, yet detached Aquarius pushes you both to consider how you balance freedom and closeness without sacrificing the autonomy so vital to each of you.

This period is about renegotiating your shared values around support and dependency. Ceres' influence in Aries might lead you to assert your own needs more forcefully, potentially causing feelings of neglect or emotional distance. Each of you might feel a strong desire to take care of yourselves independently, which can be at odds with the relationship's previously agreed-upon dynamics which are influenced by Aquarius' idealistic and collective-oriented approach.

The key challenge here is to find new ways to express love and care without feeling that your personal space is being compromised. This calls for open discussions where honesty and directness can prevent minor issues from escalating into larger conflicts. This could also be an empowering time where rediscovering individual passions and desires can actually reinforce the bonds of the relationship.

Utilizing the originality and flexibility of Aquarius can help. Aquarius offers innovative solutions and a broader perspective that can aid in resolving issues that arise from this Ceres transit. Bringing creativity into your caring interactions, and perhaps even revising the 'rules' of your relationships can align more closely with evolving individual needs and shared goals.

Navigating this square requires a balance of affection and autonomy, pushing both of you to grow in understanding of what it truly means to nurture within a relationship while respecting each partner's independence.
