You are currently enjoying the Sun's transit through Leo, which should bring sunlight and energy into your joint life. However, it has found itself in an odd angle to your composite Mercury in Capricorn. This bum note in an otherwise appealing celestial melody might have you singing not in tune, but discordantly, together.

Don't fret, though! This quincunx is less of a planetary fist fight and more of an awkward salsa dance, where one is trying to perform the Tango. Communication is key here, but that frugally economical Capricorn Mercury may have put a password lock on fanciful Leo ideas. While one of you wants to communicate with fireworks, the other's got a single sparkler and quite likes it that way.

You might find yourselves playing a weird game of charades, where a wordy request for a detailed analysis of 2020 finance reports is answered with a song about gold bars and dollar bills. It's code-cracking time, fellows!

This celestial quirk will urge you to fine-tune your communication. Try adding emoticons to your traditionally-formulated, suit-and-tie emails, or perhaps include bullet points in your colorful, metaphor-filled soliloquies.

Maintaining a sense of humor will be beneficial. Let's not forget that Leo's ruling planet is the Sun - an awful lot of hot air if you ask Mercury in Capricorn, but at least good for a giggle. Furthermore, quincunxes are the universe's way of telling you to have patience; with time, the disparate elements in your communication style will blend into a new language you both can appreciate.

This transit is not a final exam, but rather an impromptu pop quiz. Even if you are chalking hieroglyphics while the other is voraciously reading a law book, you're still working together, and that's progress. Create a short and comprehensive user manual for dealing with each other's quirkiest communication habits. Because when Mercury says, "Let's discuss the budget" but the Sun hears "Let's throw a party with golden confetti", it could be time for an interstellar translator. Or maybe just a good old whiteboard. Hang in there!
