In the celestial dance of Mercury's transit through Cancer, your composite Venus in Libra is doing a bit of a jig. This square aspect is poking at your relationship's mild-mannered façade, occasionally leading to outbursts that are, quite embarrassingly, remembered longer than they lasted. Try not to blow a fuse at the supermarket because tomatoes are out of stock, okay?

Mercury's transit, metaphorically speaking, is like your noisy neighbor starting up his lawnmower at sunrise. It's irritating, it's disruptive, but most importantly, it's temporary. So, do remember, there is no need to erect an electric fence... yet. In the realm of communication (which Mercury rather provocatively governs), you might find that your wires are getting spectacularly crossed. Take a deep breath, resist the urge to rearrange your partner's face, and try again calmly.

Now, your Venus in Libra does prefer equilibrium, perhaps a little obsessively. Here's a fun thought - imagine your relationship in a tug-of-war. Venus is on one side, striving for balance, while Mercury jokey lands a wet fish slap of emotion from the other. It echoes like an opera in a fish market. But it's not all chaos. Once you've mastered the art of patience and communication, this square could actually serve to strengthen your bond. Yep, you're playing relationship Bootcamp, folks.

However, amid the dramatic sighs and exaggerated eye-rolls, remember to find humor in your predicament - after all, the cosmic joke is on you. There's an unmatched joy in laughing together at Mercury's antics, a shared camaraderie that deepens love mysteriously. So, when the supermarket runs out of tomatoes again, instead of a heated argument, why not indulge in an impromptu pizza date?

This Mercury square Venus phase is a rollercoaster ride with a side of fries. A testing period, certainly, but also an opportunity to learn, grow and become exceptionally good at diffusing tomato-related incidents. Crank up the patience, sprinkle some humor, and sail through this transit, you brave souls. You've got this, astro warriors.
