Upon the transit of Mercury in Virgo, you find yourselves in a transformative phase. With the celestial messenger squaring your composite Mercury in Taurus, you may be inspired by a slew of fresh insights, sparking a mosaic of ideas and intellectual stimulation. Mercury in Virgo will effectively break you from the earthly grasp of Mercury in Taurus, shaking your relationship to the core with its analytic precision and perfectionism.

However, remember that Mercury isn't just the planet of talk, ideas, and communication. Its square position in your composite chart implies that Mercury's intellectual agility will be put to the test against Taurus' stubborn resilience. You may face communication challenges, especially if you're one to hold onto beliefs or values, only to uphold the status quo.

A natural tension will arise, pitting the logical reason of Virgo against the emotional tenacity of Taurus. For some, this could manifest as bickering, misunderstanding, or discomfort - a classic example of the mutable earth characteristics of Virgo clashing with the fixed earth traits of Taurus.

Yet, you shouldn't see this particular transit solely as an obstacle; it's an opportunity hidden in crisis. The challenge is finding the harmonious middle ground between the inherent qualities of Taurus and Virgo, instead of succumbing to the tension they may incite. To leverage this period, you'll need to find a balance between the ideal and actual, the immediate and long-term plans, and flexibility and obstinacy.

In a funny, cosmic sense, this square symbolizes a period of relationship boot camp where there would be some purging and cleansing to emerge stronger and smarter. While Mercury's transitory phase may seem disruptive in the short-term, realize that it presents a chance to forge a stronger, more understanding relationship, if you can navigate through its complexity.
