As Ceres makes its transit through Scorpio, squaring your composite Sun in Cancer, you're in for a cosmic shake-up that may rattle the pantry of your shared emotional kitchen. This is a time when matters of nurturing and shedding old layers come to the fore, like a garden snake who suddenly decides it's time for a new skin midway through a dinner party.

Ceres in Scorophiovorks its transformative energy, digging deep into the psychological compost of your relationship. Think of it as being gardening aficionados who've suddenly found themselves with a plot that's half swamp, half soil. It's messy and might dredge up some long-buried issues around how you care for each other and the emotional security you cultivate. It's all about getting to the roots, potentially leading to some muddy, yet necessary, conversations.

Meanwhile, with your composite Sun in Cancer, your relationship thrives on emotional depth and nurturing each other's soft spots. The square from Ceres pokes at this foundation, asking - sometimes demandingly so - whether the greenhouse you've built together adequately protects your most sensitive sprouts from the elements. Are you smothering the buds or under-watering the blossoms?

To navigate this period, imagine yourselves as gardeners deciding on the right mix and amount of fertilizer to use. It's a trial and error process. You may overdo the emotional support at times, turning your relationship soil sour, or you might underdo it, leaving each other feeling a bit parched. The trick lies in finding that sweet spot where caring fosters growth without stifling it.

Through this transit, embrace the muddy waters. Yes, there will be moments when you feel like you're gardening during a thunderstorm, with lightning throwing dramatic shadows and rain washing your well-laid plans away. Yet, remember, the richest soil often comes from the most turbulent storms. So, grab your gardening gloves and prepare to plant anew, together, in richer, more fertile ground.
