Mercury in Leo, the cosmic equivalent of a stage actor demanding everyone's attention. In square aspect to your composite Pluto in Scorpio, this celestial drama brings an intriguing plot twist to your combined narrative. You two might find yourselves in an intellectual tug-of-war more often than not. Expect impassioned dialogues that range from heated debates, to secret sharing, to the playful banter of an old married couple arguing over who makes the best pasta sauce.

Mercury in Leo can make your words roar louder than intended, and with Pluto's intensity involved, this vocal lion's roar can often echo in the cave of your partner's insecurities. You may find yourselves tossing around accusations with the casualness of a beach volleyball game. "No, you're the one always forgetting our anniversary," might be a common and rather amusing dialogue. However, don't lose yourself in these squabbles, for they are not just for comic relief.

This transit is pushing your shared mental strength to evolve. Conversations become transformational tools, the unspoken assumptions illuminated. With Pluto in the mix, we're talking an old, dusty basement's worth of assumptions. Yes, digging through all that can be as tedious as organizing your sock drawer, but the clarity that results makes it all worth it.

Pluto sheds light on challenges centered around power dynamics in your relationship. These are the pesky imbalances that make one a doormat and the other a hovering helicopter parent. Just remember, nobody wins when you're vying for the title of 'Chief Sock Sorter' in the relationship.

This transit can feel like running a marathon through a maze. But navigate wisely, and you'll unlock new levels of understanding, strengthening your bond. And who knows, you might just discover that your partner actually makes a meaner pasta sauce!
