As Mercury sashays across Virgo's analytical landscape and elbows a square to your composite Pholus in Taurus, this astrological 'tango' presents a rather interesting backdrop for you both.

To begin with, communication might be a frosty field in the coming days. There's nothing more Virgo than a detailed critique conveyed via text, is there? Yes, you might find yourselves in skirmishes over the appropriate use of commas, or whether it's 'affect' or 'effect'. But hey, who said love isn't about navigating the English grammar together?

On a deeper level, this transit nudges you to reassess how your spoken words impact your relationship. Pholus in Taurus is a bull who, once shaken, will unleash its might. In other words, Salinger's 'esoteric vocabulary' or Austen's 'doting language' may fall out of favor this season. Clear, simple, and solid communication-like Taurus likes it-may be the safe route.

With Mercury in Virgo stirring up a bit of ensconced anxieties, it's likely one or both of you imagined a 'worst-case scenario' narrative, replaying fears in your mind like an 80s hit stuck on loop. The good news? Pholus in Taurus isn't hasty, and neither should you be. Stand strong in the face of looming relationship yips - after all, everyone knows Taurus can be as immovable as that old, stubborn stain on your favorite brunch shirt.

This square pushes you to challenge conventional dialogues in your relationship. Break free from communication patterns that don't serve you. Yes, the full stop at the end of a sentence can encompass universes of unspoken emotions, but maybe -just maybe- we can let that punctuation mark just be a punctuation mark. Maybe?

The cosmic playground encourages you to breathe, reset, negotiate the murky waters of words, and figure out fresh language patterns. It's like deciphering a new code that only the both of you understand, adding a spark of intrigue to this journey - and who doesn't like a little mystery in a relationship? Not all squares are squares, sometimes, they can be the sturdy base your relationship needs to blossom.
