As Ceres transits Leo and forms a square with your composite Venus in Libra, your relationship is approaching a period of dynamic tension that revolves around nurturance, affection, and value, potentially manifesting as a creative friction. The nurturing quality of Ceres in flamboyant Leo clashes with the partnership-oriented aesthetic of Venus in Libra. This suggests a phase where you both might struggle with balancing individual expression with the needs of your relationship.

Ceres' influence in Leo emphasizes a desire for attention and recognition. You may both feel a strong need to be seen and appreciated by each other, as well as by those around you. This need might manifest through more dramatic emotional expressions or a heightened need for affection and validation. You might notice an increase in gestures aimed at gaining the other's admiration or reaffirming your importance to one another.

However, the square to Venus in Libra introduces a challenge. Venus here prefers harmony, often striving for peace and cooperation above all. You could find yourselves at odds over how much attention to give to one another versus maintaining social graces and engaging with broader social circles. Venus in Libra seeks balance and fairness, so there may be moments when one or both of you feel that the give-and-take of love and attention is off-balance.

During this transit, focus on cultivating an environment where both of you can express your love and creativity without overshadowing the other. It's an opportunity to address how effectively you are managing your mutual desires for affection and recognition. Discussions might center on how to support each other's self-expression while still nurturing the relationship.

Navigating this period requires an honest exchange about your personal needs versus the needs of the relationship. Embrace the learning curve this square presents, using it to strengthen your bond by respectfully acknowledging and integrating each other's desire for love, recognition, and nurturance.
