During this period, Mercury's transit through Leo is squaring your composite Midheaven (MC) in Aries, leading to potentially challenging dynamics. Mercury in the sign of the lion prompts vibrant and expressive communication in relationships. This typically encourages laughter, flamboyance, and open, heartfelt discussions. However, with this fiery mode of communication comes a propensity for melodrama or issuing declarations without adequate forethought.

On the other hand, your composite MC in Aries symbolizes your shared ambition and desire for independence and individuality within the relationship. It's a compelling drive to stand out as a couple, to lead and pioneer. Aries is naturally assertive and proactive, making your shared goals essential and often urgent.

The square aspect between these two points suggests a tension between your ambitious goals as a couple and how you communicate about them. The voice of your relationship-bold and somewhat theatrical-is at odds with the vision of what you seek to achieve together. It's possible that your words and the impressions they create might not match your intentions. This tension could create misunderstandings and conflicts, as what you say and how it's perceived may not align with what you collectively aspire to be.

Possibly, one of you may feel the urge to take the spotlight, causing the other to feel overshadowed. The challenge here is to find a common language that accommodates both authenticity and mutual success. Strive for a balance between individual expressiveness and joint ambition. Frustrations, if any, can serve as catalysts, helping you explore more effective communication strategies. Teamwork and understanding are crucial.

Remember, these trials are not designed to break you, but to hone your communication, bringing you closer to your shared aspirations. The Mercury-MC square pushes you to address and reconcile these tensions, building a more secure and robust bond between you. As daunting as this transit can seem, the potential for growth is immense-embrace it.
