With Pholus currently transiting in Sagittarius and forming a quincunx aspect to your composite Mars in Leo, your relationship is embarking on a period marked by unexpected challenges and deep transformative experiences. Pholus is a catalyst for change, releasing energies that have long been bottled up, while Mars in Leo signifies a dynamic energy within your union that thrives on confidence and enthusiastic expression.

During this transit, the initial impact might be felt through a series of minor but incisive events that challenge the ways you assert yourselves both individually and as a couple. You may find yourselves dealing with situations where there's a pronounced need to adjust your usual approach in order to manage unforeseen circumstances.

Imagine, for instance, planning an elaborate celebration or an important communal project. All seems well when suddenly, logistical snags emerge—venues cancel, key contributors back out, or unexpected costs arise. The usual assertive approach, powered by your composite Mars in Leo, might initially push you to forge ahead with force, determined to control and dominate the scenario.

However, the quincunx requires adjustment and adaptability. It's not just about power and display but finding nuanced ways to maneuver through these sudden changes. This might involve stepping back to reassess strategies, incorporating different, perhaps more collaborative solutions, or even postponing certain actions until a clearer path is visible.

Embrace these disruptions as opportunities to explore different facets of handling power and control within your relationship. This is a time to learn not just about resilience but adaptability and mutual support, recognizing when to lead with an open hand rather than a tight fist.

Ultimately, this transit can help uncover and release any dysfunctional patterns related to how you assert power and control as a couple, leading to a deeper understanding and strengthening of your bond through overcoming challenges together.
