With Mercury transiting in Scorpio squaring your composite Vesta in Capricorn, expect words to carry the weight of a sumo wrestler in a dainty China shop. Communication takes center stage and the stinging, precise nature of Scorpio will be staring sternly down at the pragmatic Capricorn. Buckle your verbal seatbelts, folks. You might inadvertently unleash a verbal zinger - or 37.

Scorpio desires depth, while Capricorn craves structure. Your dialogues during this period might feel like you're playing 3-dimensional chess in the dark! Dive deep into conversations but expect the unexpected. Remember to dial back your sarcasm occasionally. You don't want to face the "Scorpio Stare" or "Capricorn Glare" too often.

Investments, whether material or emotional, are often spotlighted when Vesta's involved. And in Capricorn? Let's say your inner financial adviser named "Vesta" is drawing a line on impulse purchases - or feelings. Listen to her; she's been studying stock markets since kindergarten and knows a little something about wins and losses.

Translation? Make future-oriented decisions, be they about love or that limited-edition toaster you've got your eyes on. If it doesn't come with a 5-year warranty or a future-proof ROI, ditch it.

Bear with me here as I point out one more twist in this cosmic comedy. Scorpio's intensity might breathe some passion into that Capricornian pragmatism. If you ever wanted to experience a passionate conversation about fiscal responsibility, let me tell you, you're in for a treat.

Finally, Mercury's square signals friction but fear not. It's not all doom and gloom or canned laughter sitcom reruns. The friction can also act as a catalyst, pushing you toward effective, long-term changes. Just don't forget to proofread your texts and remember: Google Translate won't help decode your partner's cryptic one-word responses. Trust me on that one.

Balance your Scorpio sting and Capricornian practicality, and you might beat this cosmic bingo at its own game. Good luck!
