As Mercury transits through Leo, forming a quincunx aspect with your composite Venus in Sagittarius, your relationship is entering a phase marked by challenges in communication and understanding. This particular alignment calls for adjustments and flexibility in how you express affection and appreciation towards each other.

Mercury in Leo shines a spotlight on bold, expressive communication. It demands attention and can often lead to dramatic exchanges. However, with Venus in Sagittarius, your relationship naturally seeks truth, freedom, and expansion, often through adventurous or philosophical means. The quincunx aspect, demanding adaptation, suggests that the vibrant and somewhat demanding way Mercury in Leo wants you to communicate may feel at odds with the more free-spirited, explorative nature of your Venus.

During this transit, you may find yourselves encountering misunderstandings or misinterpretations in matters of the heart. One or both of you might feel that your expressions of love are either too extravagant or not sufficiently acknowledged. The key here is to recognize and respect your differences in expressing affection and admiration, rather than letting them lead to frustration.

To navigate this period smoothly, consider consciously adapting the way you share your thoughts and feelings. Try to blend the Leo flair for drama and boldness with the Sagittarian desire for honesty and straightforwardness. For example, infusing your usual conversations with a bit of theatrical fun or creative storytelling might help bridge the gap between your styles.

Additionally, foster openness by encouraging each other to express their individual needs clearly, especially around what makes each of you feel loved and valued. This effort to understand and adapt to each other's love languages can significantly mitigate the potentially disruptive impact of this transit and strengthen your bond long-term.
