Mercury in fiery Aries square your composite Midheaven in adventurous Sagittarius indicates the communication section of your relationship may be undergoing something akin to a game of whack-a-mole in an electric storm. Misread plans, misinterpreted emotions, emails mating with spam folders - it's all on the table. The silver lining is that Mercury rules communication, commerce and commuting; it doesn't meddle in delicate areas like enduring love or your favorite takeout options. So, no need for panic buttons yet.

When Mercury square hits, think of it as a stubborn tech gadget that insists on functioning on its terms. It doesn't mean you can't get your point across; it just requires a little more patience and, perhaps the occasional charade. Instinctively reaching for subtlety won't be the best bet here; more a full-volume, semaphore waving display should get the message across. Aries energy tends to favor a direct approach, after all. The lesson: dial up on 'bold' and bring down the 'hint-hint.'

Meanwhile, your composite Midheaven in Sagittarius colors your relationship goals with a vibrant palette of exploration, optimism, and a knack for finding half-off holiday deals. This square might unleash a restlessness in your shared ambitions, a sense of wanderlust as broad and distracting as a pop-up ad. Sagittarius loves expansion, and this transit may trigger an inexplicably strong urge to build a strategic hamster maze or experiment with exotic treats; a scenario where actions speak louder than words since, remember, words might not be behaving.

Remember, squares are astrologically equivalent to that tricky yoga pose that makes you wonder if a body can bend that way. It's about growth and stretching past comfortable limits. Communication goes sideways? Laugh it off. Sudden urge to experience ice-wine making in Antarctica? Pack the thermals. Mercury squaring the Midheaven in your composite chart asks you to face the trials, curiously and courageously. Finding the hilarity in cosmic mix-ups is as good a place as any to start. Just make sure to pack a dictionary, compass and a sense of humor; you'll be fine.
