During this transit, you could encounter a rough tide as volatile energy from Mercury in Cancer squares your composite Lilith in Scorpio. Your communication might hit rocky terrain characterized by conflicting emotions and intense, passionate discourses resulting from the challenging aspect between your shared Lilith, representing taboo desires and suppressed anger, and transit Mercury, influencing your perception and communication styles.

For example, you could find yourselves in an emotionally fraught conversation about a sensitive topic that taps your hidden frustrations or fears. Imagine, one evening, while discussing plans for future commitments, insecurities rise from the murky depths of your shared Lilith, heatedly questioning each other's devotion or intentions due to past experiences or irrational fears. Navigating these waters requires questioning your instincts or assumptions, a daunting task with Mercury's influence stirring up raw emotions - a risk of distortion that cancers foster.

Daunting it may be, it also presents an opportunity for growth through the challenging dialogue. It would necessitate clearing up misunderstandings, confronting taboos head-on thereby unshackling each other from clandestine fears. If you manage to face these fears in the thick of your conversation, you'll initiate a mutual understanding that glassy calm waters can harbor turbulence below its surface, accepting nuanced layers of your relationship's dynamics.

To keep afloat during this transit, nimbleness and adaptability will be your allies, along with openness to delve deeper into your emotional scar tissue. The tempest posed by the Mercury-Lilith square can indeed be the stimulus for a cleansing rain to purge pent-up emotions, enabling you to come ashore stronger, closer, and wiser than before. Remember, the darkest clouds herald the most enriching showers. This transit, then, functions as a cathartic thunderstorm, transforming your relationship into a more resilient entity.
