Transiting Mercury in Aries opposite composite Mars in Scorpio

When it comes to wrestling with celestial tug-of-war, you two might land an Olympic medal. Mercury transiting in Aries shoots fiery emails right into your communication sector, having you spring out arguments like Jack-in-the-boxes. But with Mars in Scorpio grumbling about back-seat drivers, a simple 'pick up some milk' text might escalate into drawn swords at dawn.

Now, a little Martian grumpiness isn't entirely a bad thing. It might be trying to tell you something important.

Whip out a pair of safety goggles and pop-it's time to wipe the slate clean.

This transit is no time to do an ostrich impression or play hide and seek from honest talk. Total disclosure is the need of the hour. Aries is not exactly known for cautious tiptoeing, and he will kick those can-do boots right into sensitive discussions. And remember, Mars in Scorpio likes to 'dig deep', so to say.

Stay cool, calm, and composed, well, as composed as two people under this astrological siege can be. Scorpio's power is in its poise, and you need to depend on it like a desert wanderer relies on his trusty compass.

In the grand soap opera of life, this transit is commercials break-for self-reflection. Don't fear the mirror of honesty; it usually just makes funny faces back. Ridiculously, adding a dash of humor can help heal raw emotions. Just don't let the Aries-Mercury push you into pile-driving your partner with brutal honesty. Because let's face it, there's no 'truce treaty' opening line that starts with, "No offense but…"
