With Ceres transiting through Sagittarius and forming a square to your composite Ascendant in Leo, this phase marks a pivotal moment in your relationship's evolution, spotlighting themes of nurturing and expansion that might challenge how you present yourselves as a couple.

Ceres, embodying the essence of care, sustenance, and attachment, in the fiery and philosophical sign of Sagittarius, presses you to explore larger truths and meanings behind how you nurture each other and those around you. This exploratory drive clashes with your joint Leo Ascendant, which naturally inclines you to seek attention, affirmation, and admiration in your outer expressions and interactions. The square aspect can generate tension between your desire for broader experiences or understanding and the immediate expression of your joint identity, sometimes leading to conflicts over how much attention is 'enough' and how expansive your nurturing should be beyond the relationship.

Imagine you are planning an event together; perhaps it's a gathering that combines both your extended families and friends. The Sagittarius influence pushes for an inclusive, almost limitless guest list, fostering a blend of diverse backgrounds and philosophies. Meanwhile, the Leo energy seeks to keep the affair glamorous, focused perhaps more on showcasing your union than genuinely uniting disparate groups. The tension here lies in balancing these needs-incorporating a spirit of openness and acceptance while still feeling acknowledged and special.

This period is an invitation to delve deeper into defining what makes you feel secure and cared for within your relationship, without losing sight of the mutual joy and pride that comes from facing the world united and strong. It asks you to question, refine, and possibly expand your notions of what it means to support each other, blending the Sagittarian need for growth and understanding with the Leonine demand for recognition and respect. The challenge is to cultivate a nurturing environment that is both expansive and affirming, allowing your relationship to be a source of strength as you navigate the broader social spheres.
