As Pholus transits through Sagittarius, forming a square with your composite Sun in Leo, your relationship is poised to undergo some significant transformations. Pholus, though small and subtle, often triggers profound changes from seemingly minor events. Given its current placement, expect shifts that challenge the very roots of how you both experience freedom and expression within your relationship.

During this period, the emphasis falls on the exploration of beliefs, travel, and the understanding of each other's vastly different philosophies. Sagittarius seeks truth, and with Pholus' influence, this search may exacerbate tensions or highlight differences in your worldview that were previously overlooked. It insists that you both expand your horizons, which can be both exciting and disorienting.

The square to your composite Sun in Leo insists on self-expression and can make these conflicts more dramatic. Leo craves recognition and being seen, so there will likely be moments when each of you feels that your individuality within the partnership is either being overshadowed or not adequately appreciated. The key challenge here is to learn how to give each other space to be individuals while still honoring the bond you share.

You might find this period marked by a significant event that tests your loyalty and unity, such as a disagreement over a travel opportunity, educational pursuit, or managing an engagement with different cultural or philosophical implications. How you handle such events will be crucial. The temptation might be to dominate or insist on one's own way (a Leo trait), but Pholus asks for transformation and understanding, urging you to find a middle ground.

Navigating this time will require patience and the ability to embrace change and grow together. It's an excellent period for developing deeper understanding and tolerance, attributes that will strengthen your bond moving forward.
