This transit favors business acumen, so you'll find yourselves prudently navigating shared resources, whether that includes dividing the last slice of pizza or managing a joint bank account.

Despite the intensity of the 8th house, misunderstandings are less likely, aided by Capricorn's straightforwardness. Misinterpreted texts that lead to arguments and eventual discussions of life's meaning and your relationship's purpose may become a thing of the past.
