As Vesta transits through Leo, its fiery energy sextiles your composite Chiron in Virgo, igniting a unique period for both healing and growth within your relationship. This celestial dance emphasizes the importance of devoting attention to wounds that may have been overlooked, perhaps because they seemed too mundane or because solving them did not seem like a heroic quest. However, remember that even Hercules had to do some housecleaning!

Vesta's presence in Leo brings a warmth and dedication to your joint expression and creativity. It's a fine time to rekindle the spark that celebrates your union, perhaps through shared hobbies or artistic projects. Just imagine - even the simple act of jointly organizing a bookshelf could turn into an epic poem under this influence. Meanwhile, Chiron in Virgo points to deeper vulnerabilities around competence and perfectionism within your relationship. It's possible you've both been a bit too critical of each other or yourselves, striving for an elusive perfection that could make any Virgo's head spin.

The sextile provides a gentle nudge towards understanding and nurturing these tender spots. It allows you the opportunity to use Vesta's dedication to service in Leo's expressive way to support each other. It's time to sweep away critical judgments and replace them with applause for even the smallest efforts. Validate each other's feelings and efforts, not just the outcomes.

During this transit, practicing forgiveness might be your golden fleece. Perhaps take turns acknowledging personal missteps and appreciating each other's forgiveness - all without aiming for an Academy Award in drama. Utilize Virgo's attention to detail to notice the nuances in each other's attempts at growth and healing, allowing the warmth of Leo to celebrate these efforts genuinely, even if they include burnt toast or mismatched socks.

Through this astrological phase, setting a stage where both of you can flourish through warmth, dedication, and supportive critique will enable not just healing, but a renewal of the vital energies that brought you together. Keep the flames of creativity and joy burning, and watch as the seemingly small acts of daily love weave a richer tapestry in your shared story.
