With Pholus currently transiting through Sagittarius, forming a quincunx angle to your composite Mars in Cancer, your relationship is entering a phase where minor adjustments can lead to significant transformations. The nature of Pholus is to trigger a small spark that ignites a large fire, metaphorically speaking, indicating that seemingly small issues or actions within your bond might set the stage for more profound changes. This period requires careful navigation to facilitate growth and understanding rather than conflict or misunderstanding.

The placement of Mars in Cancer in your composite chart normally highlights a nurturing yet protective dynamic between you, emphasizing emotional security and the importance of a safe domestic life. However, with the quincunx aspect from Pholus in Sagittarius, the freedom-seeking, truth-touting attributes of Sagittarius may feel at odds with the more insular, security-focused needs of your Mars in Cancer. It's like trying to reconcile a desire for expansive adventure with a deep need for emotional closeness and security.

This period may bring up themes where one or both of you feel that your freedom or need for exploration is being restricted by the other's need for emotional assurance and vice versa. It is a time where understanding and adjustments are crucial. You may find yourselves facing situations where you must decide whether to step out of your emotional comfort zones or assert boundaries more firmly.

Use this transit as an opportunity to explore how you can both support each other's growth while respecting individual needs for security and adventure. This might involve negotiating time spent together versus time spent on individual pursuits, or perhaps integrating new, shared adventures into your routine to satisfy both partners' needs.

Navigating this transit efficiently could profoundly deepen your understanding of one another, fostering growth in ways you might not anticipate, enhancing your bond by acknowledging and respecting each other's complex, sometimes conflicting, needs.
