Here we go! Your composite Saturn in Sagittarius is about to enjoy a leisurely Starbucks date with the intense and brooding Mercury in Scorpio. Being a sextile connection, the conversation is set to be more Buzzfeed banter than soap opera drama, so relax.

During Mercury's brief sojourn through the passionate depths of Scorpio, communication in your relationship could best be described as blunt, penetrative, and slightly uncomfortable. But don't throw your hands in the air just yet! Remember, the truth stings, but it can also set you free. Much like ripping off a band-aid, or stepping on a Lego in the dark.

This transit of Mercury sextile composite Saturn advises you to own your emotional inventory like a Marie Kondo on steroids. Detoxing your shared communication of superfluous details, making way for the meaty bits to shine through. Delve into the depths; embrace those taboo subjects you lightheartedly tiptoe around when pretending to enjoy your neighbor's stories about his tomato plants.

Composite Saturn, the grand old man of the solar system, represents your shared sense of responsibility, dedication and commitment to one another. When Mercury plays footsie with him, it's time to talk about the big stuff. Think about your shared goals, plans, and fears. You know, the topics that make rom-com lovers pale and drama enthusiasts swoon.

Of course, the fiery Sagittarian energy of your Saturn will bring a pinch of enthusiasm (and owing to Mercury in Scorpio, a sprinkle of cynicism) in these conversations. Drawing on your Sagittarian optimism, remember to pack some humor for the journey. Remind each other that a life without laughter is like a cell phone without a charger. Frustrating and likely to leave you stranded in upsetting ways.

This time is not about avoiding difficult conversations but having them with grace and wit, kind of like roasting marshmallows on the flames of existential dread. Without getting too sentimental (and especially sappy), this can be an opportunity for your relationship to deepen. So, make the most of Mercury's transiting Scorpio sextile your composite Saturn in Sagittarius. Dive deep, have the talks, and share the laughs. And maybe, just maybe, talk about your neighbor's tomato plants too. But only if you have to.
