As the Sun transits through Aquarius, casting an opposition to your composite Mars in Leo, it carries a high-voltage surge of energy, which under the right conditions, can either be creatively invigorating or incendiary for the two of you. The alchemical mix of illumination by the Sun and combativeness of Mars catalyzes a charge that disrupts the status quo in your relationship, offering opportunities for reevaluation and rebirth but also intensifying shadows that haven't been properly addressed.

The Aquarian Sun's unorthodox, reformist stance can clash with Mars in Leo's need for recognition and control, leading to potentially explosive arguments or discontent. The Leo energy might push for dominance or ask for applause when it's not practical or deserved, while the Aquarian side seeks a more egalitarian and detached approach. Whereas the Sun's transit in Aquarius may invite you into a more future-oriented, idealistic, or collective perspective, Mars in Leo could be longing for personal glory, resulting in a balance-seeking tug-of-war.

For instance, you both decide to host a charity event. Mars in Leo could be drawn to grandly perform and be the star of the night, while the Aquarian influence might be more focused on the cause, prioritizing networking and brainstorming innovative ideas rather than seeking personal accolades. If you don't navigate these energies with understanding, you risk clashing in a public spectacle fueled by tension between collective intentions and individual ambitions.

However, this opposition isn't inherently negative. It's possible to channel this energy by acknowledging these differences and working to synthesize them. The Aquarian Sun's perspective can help Leo's Mars loosen its grip on ego-driven desires and look beyond to the broader collective. Meanwhile, Mars in Leo gives the Aquarius Sun outset inspiration, catalyzing action from idea. If you both can use this tension constructively, it can lead to remarkable achievements, transforming challenging dynamics into stepping stones for success. Aim towards compromise, aligning individual instincts with shared principles, and this transit could illuminate a path to fruitful union between you.
