Oh, aren't you in for a fun time? Brace yourselves, as Mercury transits in Cancer and forms a vexing quincunx with your composite Pluto in Scorpio. Now don't get all jittery, for it doesn't necessarily signify your relationship's version of Armageddon.

Mercury in Cancer makes communication fantastically sensitive. That 'I'm fine' from one of you isn't just an 'I'm fine.' It translates to 'See, I'm carrying this huge neon sign that screams 'I'm totally NOT fine,' but you're too busy watching cat videos.' Tender emotions come gift-wrapped with a seemingly innocent comment here. However, the words spoken and unspoken are as inscrutable as ancient hieroglyphics - only more perplexing.

Meanwhile, Pluto, the lord of underworld in your composite chart, laughs its dark, brooding laugh in Scorpio. It's diving deep into the shared subconscious, poking into the shadowy parts of your relationship that most couples wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. It's like sticking your hand in that messy drawer that's been neglected for years.

Put the two together, and you have a soufflé of emotional confusion and transformation. How thrilling, hey? It's like navigating a maze while blindfolded, with your shoes tied together. From the minuscule emotional breadcrumbs to the towering secrets hiding in Spirograph-like patterns, this transit begs for honesty and adaptation - no matter how unsettling it might seem.

It's an invitation to decode each other's languages, and let's be real, it's not the most glamorous job. It can be as baffling as trying to solve a Rubik's cube in near-darkness - with one hand. Consider it a crash course in deep-sea diving without leaving your sofa. And, Pluto's dark, mysterious aura? Let's just say it adds an exciting, albeit chilling, ambiance to it all.

No one is saying it's going to be a walk in the park. Actually, it's likely to be more of a stumbling-in-the-dark kind of adventure. But 'you' (the plural, remember?) can ace this transit if you welcome candidness, understand each other's idiosyncrasies, and probably keep that emergency ice-cream tub handy. Because let's face it, after all that deep soul searching, you are going to need something sweet.
