As Mercury transits Gemini and forms a square with your composite Chiron in Leo, you may find yourselves navigating a delicate period in your relationship where communication becomes both a remedy and a challenge. This transit is likely to illuminate old wounds related to self-expression, recognition, or perhaps past instances where you felt your voices were stifled or misunderstood in the relationship.

Mercury in Gemini, known for its quickness and adaptability, will urge you to discuss these issues. However, Chiron's influence, especially from a dramatic and prideful sign like Leo, could make these conversations feel more personal and charged. You might notice that even casual remarks can quickly escalate to emotional battlegrounds. It's important during this period to be mindful of how you communicate your pains and frustrations. While it's necessary to be honest, the delivery can significantly influence how your words are received and processed.

The square aspect suggests a turning point where addressing these deeper issues will require effort and may not always be comfortable. Yet, the potential for healing and understanding each other more profoundly is substantial. Mercury's transit encourages a flowing dialogue, so use this time to really listen to each other, not just to respond but to understand and empathize.

However, remember that while discussions might be the vehicle for healing, they can also reopen old wounds if not approached with care and respect. To leverage this transit positively, foster an environment where both of you feel safe to express your vulnerabilities. This could be an excellent time to engage in activities that strengthen your bond and allow you to experience joy together, balancing out the intense conversations with lighter, affirming interactions.

By consciously working through these challenges, you'll find that not only can you heal old wounds, but you can also strengthen your trust and mutual respect, paving the way for a deeper, more resilient union.
