As Ceres makes its transit through Cancer, forming a challenging square with Vesta in Libra in your composite chart, you both might find that nurturing and harmony seek a somewhat competitive stage in your relationship. One minute, it's all about who brought home the eco-friendly, non-GMO, comfort food (Cancer loves a good, guilt-free feast), and the next, you're debating whose turn it is to pick the Netflix movie, balancing scales like a pair of Libran lawyers.

Ceres in Cancer is a time when emotional security and caring take precedence. You both will feel a stronger urge to look after each other and make your home a cozy sanctuary. However, throw Vesta in Libra into the mix, and the focus sharpens on your relationship's fairness and justice, even in the seemingly mundane. It's like deciding whose family to visit over the holidays but every day and with everything. Yes, even deciding who gets the last scoop of ice cream.

With Ceres squaring Vesta, there's a friction that can manifest as an inner tug-of-war between caring for each other in a nurturing, coddling way (Ceres in Cancer) and pursuing what feels just and balanced (Vesta in Libra). You might find yourselves questioning whether the give-and-take in your relationship is symmetrical. It's important to remember that keeping score can sometimes take the fun out of things. Not every good deed needs an immediate payback; think of it as a karmic 401(k) - it'll pay off eventually.

To navigate this transit effectively, communication is crucial. Discuss your feelings and needs without making it sound like a corporate negotiation. Honesty can help minimise any brewing resentment or feeling of inequality.

A little patience and a lot of talk can help you turn this challenging square into a stronger, more understanding partnership. Now, wouldn't that be nicer than arguing over who forgot to refill the Brita pitcher again?
