When Pholus sidles into Capricorn, it's known for ushering in changes that ripple through the fibers of your connection, especially when sextile to your composite Lilith in Scorpio. Pholus is the asteroid that deals with the lid blowing off, sometimes literally (think erupting volcanoes) but mostly metaphorically. This transit encourages you both to confront buried issues in the relationship, those that have perhaps been simmering quietly underneath the surface.
In your case, Lilith in Scorpio in the composite chart speaks to a raw, magnetic attraction between you, combined with a certain edgy, taboo-flavored intimacy. It's like discovering that your partner loves pineapple on pizza and, however weird, you just can't help but find it strangely endearing. With Lilith's position here, there's a powerful emotional undertow to your relationship - it can pull you in deeply, generating both closeness and conflict.
The sextile aspect between Pholus in Capricorn and Lilith in Scorpio provides a unique opportunity for transformative healing. You are given the tools to safely explore hidden or suppressed parts of your relationship. This could manifest as facing mutual shadows - those quirks you both pretended not to see, like someone's habit of obsessively organizing the spice rack alphabetically. It's time to discuss what has been unspoken, yet has heavily influenced the emotional climate of your conjunction.
