The merry band of Mercury moving into fiery Sagittarius conjuncting your composite Chiron in mysterious Scorpio brings a lively energy to the dance floor of your relationship. This celestial interlude will have you twirling like an astro-duo on 'Dancing with Celestial Bodies.'

Mercury's transit tends to season your conversations with idealistic and optimistic Sagittarian spices. You may find yourself championing each other's dreams, cutting through gloomy clouds with the Sagittarian sunbeam. The Sagittarian archer is a notorious foot-in-mouth contender, but hey, at least there's never a dull moment!

Now, take a deep breath; let's slide into Scorpio's murky waters for a moment, where your composite Chiron resides, the wounded healer no less. You know, that little asteroid that shows where your relationship could use a bandaid...or a full-blown plaster cast. Mercury's conjunction to Chiron encourages you to talk about these hidden wounds. Might sound about as much fun as knitting fog, but trust me, it's going to help.

Imagine for a second, being backstage at a rock concert. Everything is chaotic: the lead singer can't find his lucky pants, the drummer's lost a stick and it's almost showtime. That's you in this transit, navigating relationship wounds with Sagittarian optimism while Scorpio bites you in the posterior.

This transit encourages you to use your words, not your stingers or arrows. Don't shoot the messenger, especially if they're singing your favorite song out of tune. Even if one of you gets the words a tad muddled in the chorus. The lesson here? Accepting the likes of 'trousers' for 'pants' and keeping the rhythm going strong despite the odd 'bum note.'

While Mercury gifts you speedy conversations in Sagittarius, it's up to you to use this energy to navigate those Scorpio depths tenderly. With honesty (Sagittarius' strong suit), vulnerability (oh hello, Scorpio!) and a dash of humor (just because), it may surprise you how much your relationship 'concert' will start to swing in sync.
