With Pallas transiting in Aries opposing your composite Mercury in Scorpio, your relationship is currently at a pivotal crossroads where communication and strategy become focal. Pallas, embodying wisdom, strategy, and warfare, in the assertive sign of Aries, pushes forth issues and ideas with boldness and sometimes impetuosity. Opposing this, your composite Mercury in Scorpio delves deep, valuing profound and often hidden truths within communication. This opposition pulls your joint approach to problem-solving in two almost conflicting directions.

You may find yourselves in situations where one or both feel the urgent need to address or fix problems with a straightforward, almost warrior-like attitude. Simultaneously, the Scorpio influence pulls for a more introspective, almost secretive strategy. This could create a noticeable tension as you both seek not just to communicate but to wield your words like a chess game, calculating moves and counter-moves.

This period invites you to integrate these energies. Embrace the bold clarity that Aries offers to Mercury's probing depth. You can find that the quick, assertive responses inspired by Aries help prevent stagnation in discussions that otherwise may linger too deeply and too long, given Scorpio's influence. Conversely, Scorpio's depth provides a counterbalance, ensuring that Aries' straightforwardness does not become superficial or overly aggressive.

To navigate this effectively, foster an environment where openness in communication is coupled with respect for each other's underlying intentions and thoughts. Practicing active listening can be tremendously beneficial, helping balance impulsive speech with thoughtful responses.

This transit also encourages you to handle sensitive information together more wisely. Pallas' strategic gifts can help you plan how to talk about tough issues without confrontation and find solutions that consider the root causes, not just the symptoms.

By blending the strengths of both placements, you as a couple can develop a more sophisticated and powerful way of interacting, bringing out the strengths and minimizing the weaknesses inherent in both signs.
