As Mercury transits in Virgo, conjunct your composite Ascendant in Virgo, it is a crucial period for you two. The planet of communication entering the analytical domain of Virgo and aligning with your relationship's 'rising sign' - a key facet of your joint identity - implies a deepening of mutual understanding.

In this phase, your conversations become crucial bridges to better comprehension. The combination of Mercury with your Ascendant brings out an intensified mutual focus on details and practical matters. Travel plans, tasks around the house, or even sorting out finances can yield surprisingly insightful conversations as you discover each other's perspectives.

For example, a casual discussion about dividing chores may evolve into a profound exchange about your ideals of roles and contributions. Instead of becoming sources of contention, such exchanges help you to mutually define and redefine your bond.

As performance-oriented Virgo governs both Mercury and your Ascendant, success will come through efforts and precision. There's a call for both of you to be impeccable with your words. Encounter misunderstandings as invitations for clarity and growth. Reflect on how you converse, and ensure you aren't eclipsing genuine expression with criticism.

These times may find you feeling more observant and critical, both towards each other and towards the external world. Remember, there is value in the minutiae. Constant nitpicking, however, will strain your bond.

This period can reap rich rewards. As you navigate the minutiae together, greater trust and integrity rise in your relationship. You both become each other's sounding boards, sharing thoughts and solving problems in tandem. Together, you learn that in meticulousness lies a bounty of depth and closeness. This transit, therefore, is not merely a celestial event; it's a refining forge for your relationship, making it stronger and more understanding.
