When Eros, the asteroid of deep desire and sexual energy, transits through nurturing Cancer, it tends to stir up emotions and longing for intimacy in a tender, yet profoundly emotional way. This transit, however, squares off with Lilith in Virgo within your composite chart, suggesting a complex dynamic unfolding within your relationship. Here, the raw, unchecked ardor of Eros encounters the meticulous, sometimes critical vibes of a Virgo Lilith. This can result in both steamy interactions and heated disagreements, often about seemingly trivial matters (yes, even leaving the cap off the toothpaste can turn into a debate about respect and attention to detail!).

The square aspect indicates a tension that demands attention. On one hand, the Cancer influence drives you to seek closeness and security, maybe through cosy, candle-lit dinners at home or snuggling under a warm blanket. On the other hand, Lilith in Virgo could make you overly critical about how exactly these intimate moments unfold. Is the blanket evenly spread? Are the candles soy-based and unscented, to avoid any allergies?

Navigating this period requires embracing both the emotional depths and the practical details. It's a bit like trying to write a love poem while following a strict rhyme scheme-you need passion, but you also can't ignore the form. The trick is finding balance and not letting Virgo's penchant for critique stifle the warmth Cancer yearns to provide.

Moreover, Lilith's influence brings out the more hidden, perhaps slightly rebellious sides of your personalities. This might manifest in questioning or resisting typical norms around relationships; you might find yourselves exploring unconventional ways to express care and affection. Just be cautious that these explorations are consensual and aligned with both your values-otherwise, you might end up with more critique than cuddle.

Use this time to communicate openly about your needs and desires. It could lead to a deeper understanding and perhaps a more fulfilling way to navigate the complexities of your shared life. Because after all, isn't every relationship a bit like an avant-garde art piece? A little quirky, sometimes challenging, but ultimately something beautiful that you create together.
