As Mercury transits in Taurus, quincunx your composite Jupiter in Sagittarius, you may find an increased emphasis on practical thinking, coupled with an exploration of philosophical concepts. Mercury, symbolizing communication and details, in earthy Taurus prioritizes tangible strategies, while Jupiter in its home sign of Sagittarius stimulates broader viewpoints and deeper spiritual questions. The quincunx aspect, or the angle of adjustment, prompts you to bridge this gap between practicality and philosophy.

During this transit, you may feel this difference in intellectual focus as an imbalance, with mundane necessary conversations weighing you down when you'd rather grasp larger existential questions. You may find yourselves working on a financial plan or discussing home improvements while secretly yearning to debate the mysteries of the universe or discuss your next long-distance journey.

As Mercury moves further through Taurus, Taurus's stable and methodical influence can help you channel Jupiter's expansive energy into manageable tasks. This does not mean abandoning the higher mind discussions typical of Jupiter in Sagittarius; instead, use the blend of earth and fire to anchor abstract dream-building within rock-solid realities.

Considerable patience may be required from both of you, as both Jupiter and Mercury in their respective signs can be stubborn, each holding onto its way of thinking. Balance the Taurus need to stick to the proven plan with Sagittarian push for progress and expansion.

For instance, suppose you realize that your financial planning involves more research on potential investments. Instead of deeming it mundane or inconsequential, you'll have to reframe the task as an exercise in expanding your understanding, morphing it into a Sagittarian quest for greater knowledge. This is how the quincunx can drive the needed adjustments in perception.

In this complex dance of cosmic energies, remember that shared communication and openness are essential. Let Mercury's logical mind embrace the wisdom Jupiter offers, an enriching experience for your relationship.
