With Pallas transiting in Cancer forming a square to your composite Chiron in Aries, this period marks a crucial phase for nurturing the intellectual and healing dimensions of your relationship. Pallas, representing wisdom and strategy, located in the emotionally charged sign of Cancer, emphasizes a focus on developing emotional intelligence and finding strategic ways to foster security and nurture within the relationship. This transit asks you to look at how emotional patterns are processed and understood between you both.

The square to Chiron in Aries, the wounded healer, suggests that this is not without its challenges. Chiron in Aries in a composite chart often highlights areas where there may be pain centered around identity and assertiveness within the relationship. You might find that themes related to independence versus mutual dependence are triggered during this phase. This aspect is a call to action to address these old wounds, which can surface in ways that are both overt and subtle.

The key challenge here lies in balancing your need for emotional closeness and nurturance (Cancer) with the equally strong need to maintain individual identities and autonomy (Aries). The square aspect indicates a tension that needs resolution, a dynamic push-pull between comforting each other and facing the discomfort that comes from old, perhaps buried, pains.

Addressing these issues likely involves embracing the protective and nurturing qualities of Pallas in Cancer, utilizing wisdom and strategic thinking to care for the relationship while confronting and healing the raw vitality and possibly self-centered wounds of Chiron in Aries. This transit has the potential to act as a catalyst for significant growth. It invites a deeper understanding and integration of both the pain points and strengths within the relationship, holding space for mutual healing and developing a more emotionally rich and resilient bond.
