As Ceres transits Libra and forms a square with your composite Jupiter in Cancer, you may find yourselves delving into themes of nurturing within your relationship. This astrological phase asks you to look at the care you give and receive from each other, possibly revealing disparities or over-extending tendencies in emotional support. Ceres in Libra emphasizes harmony and relationships, hinting at a need to achieve balance in giving and receiving affection and care. However, the square to Jupiter may inflate these issues, causing moments of tension or exaggeration where one or both of you feel either smothered or neglected.

Jupiter's influence in Cancer typically enhances emotional depth and a sense of security within relationships, nurturing growth and heartfelt connections. Now challenged by the Ceres square, there's a risk of these nurturing intentions overshooting or becoming misaligned with actual emotional needs. You might experience this as an overabundance of care where it's not needed, or a lack of it where it is crucial. Importantly, this aspect can bring to surface any unaddressed emotional debts or imbalances in the 'emotional economy' of your relationship, urging you to address them.

During this period, effective communication is key. Consider openly discussing what makes each of you feel cared for without falling into the trap of assuming what the other needs. It's a valuable time to learn and possibly re-negotiate your emotional boundaries and expressions of care, aiming for a more balanced dynamic. Remember, the goal is to foster a nurturing environment where both partners feel equally supported and valued.

This transit doesn't just challenge; it also offers an opportunity for growth. Embrace the lessons on caring and fairness it brings, and use them to fortify your bond, making your relationship a more balanced and nurturing space for both partners.
