As Vesta transits Libra and forms a quincunx with your composite Mercury in Aquarius, it signals a unique period in your relationship that promises to refine the way you communicate and connect on an intellectual level. This astrological phase is somewhat like trying to speak French in China-a lot of enthusiastic gesturing may be involved until you find a common language.

Vesta in Libra is all about devotion to harmony and balance, highlighting the areas in your relationship that require attention and dedication to achieve equilibrium. However, when Vesta makes an inconvenient angle with Mercury, the planet of communication, in the individualistic and somewhat stubborn sign of Aquarius, you might find that your usual ways of connecting aren't as effective. Vesta is demanding a deeper sincerity or sanctity in your interactions, but Mercury in Aquarius wants to stay aloof and play it cool, which can create an interesting tug-of-war.

You two might find yourself pondering the serious or sacred aspects of your relationship more frequently. Questions like "What are we really committed to?" or "Why do we always end up discussing the redundancy of single-use plastics every dinner?" could pop up during this period. With Vesta involved, it's important to remember that the focus should be on quality and authenticity of dialogue, rather than winning an argument or having the last word.

Furthermore, adjustments and minor modifications in how you express love and care will be necessary. It might feel like rewriting the code to a particularly complex software-an enjoyable challenge for Aquarius energies, if not slightly irritating at times.

This period is an invitation to clear the air and refresh your bond through honest, albeit slightly awkward, exchanges. Embrace the quirks and the occasional communication faux pas; they are stepping stones to a deeper understanding and, hopefully, fewer debates about plastics in the future.
