As Pholus makes its transformative journey through Scorpio, its quincunx aspect to your composite Mercury in Cancer is poised to stir the celestial pot a bit-specifically in how you communicate and process information together. This astrological dynamic can trigger a series of minor adjustments, potentially causing some temporary communication hiccups. But fear not-these are not necessarily relationship deal-breakers but rather kinks in your otherwise smooth dialogue.

Under Pholus in Scorpio, the theme revolves around uncovering deeper truths and secrets which might be somewhat uncomfortable yet ultimately transformative. Scorpio does not tread lightly over superficial waters; it dives deep. When this energy interacts awkwardly with Mercury in Cancer, known for its emotional and nurturing communication style, you might find yourselves discussing subjects that are unusually deep or intense for an ordinary Tuesday dinner conversation. Imagine trying to discuss the depths of existential crises over pasta-messy, right?

This transit is likely to push both of you to confront issues or topics that you usually sweep under the rug. Whether it's discussing family secrets, past grievances, or even something as seemingly trivial as why one of you always forgets to replace the toilet paper roll, these conversations can lead to significant emotional cleansing but might initially bring discomfort.

How to navigate this? The key lies in embracing the energy of Cancer-using empathy, understanding, and patience. Listen actively and try not to retreat into your shells when the going gets tough. Pholus demands transformation but gives back tenfold in emotional depth and integrity.

While the conversations might start with, "We need to talk," they don't always have to end with, "I wish we hadn't." With patience and willingness to delve into these deeper waters, this transit could strengthen the foundational communication in your relationship, ensuring that no topic is too daunting to tackle together. So buckle up, and remember, every intense dialogue does not need to end in a storm-sometimes it's just the weather clearing up.
