With Mercury transiting in Aries forming a quincunx to your composite Ascendant in Sagittarius, this period may present a distinctive dynamic in your communication styles and how you present yourself as a couple. The quincunx aspect, being one of adjustment and often, misunderstanding, suggests there might be moments when your interactions feel misaligned with your usual intentions or perceptions.

Mercury in Aries is impulsive, quick to speak, and assertive in its expression. This fiery placement intensifies the desire to express thoughts and opinions boldly within the relationship. However, the Ascendant in Sagittarius brings an overarching desire for understanding and expansion which may clash with the blunt directness of Aries. There could be a tug-of-war between the desire to explore thoughts in an open-ended way (Sagittarius) and a tendency to make swift, definitive statements (Aries).

What arises could be a series of situations where discussions are sparked almost instantaneously but finding a constructive resolution or a meeting point becomes challenging. The key here is recognizing that these moments are opportunities for growth. Instead of polarizing discussions into 'right' or 'wrong', shift towards understanding each other's viewpoints as simply different ways of processing information.

To navigate this period more smoothly, engage actively in listening. When one speaks, it's crucial for the other to really absorb the essence of what's being communicated, beyond the immediate words. Giving each other space to speak freely without immediate judgment or interruption can help bridge the apparent gaps the quincunx aspect might cause.

Additionally, refining how you address more sensitive topics can alleviate potential misunderstandings. With Mercury's influence, there's a tendency to be straightforward, but coupling this with Sagittarius' wisdom can lead to a more balanced dialogue. Embrace the directness as a tool for honesty but temper it with tact and consideration.

Navigating this transit requires embracing both your need for spirited debate and your mutual journey towards understanding, allowing these forces to coexist harmoniously within your relationship.
