As Mercury, the celestial chatterbox, prepares to sojourn through Sagittarius, life is about to take a thrilling turn for both of you. With expansiveness as its forte, don't be surprised if Sagittarian energy nudges your conversations, suddenly taking them from usual dinner-table chatter to heated debates about the existence of extraterrestrial life or the nuances of metaphysical poetry.

However, Mercury is squaring your composite Moon in Leo - a deck shuffling celestial combo that can transform the simplest of discussions ("Where should we brunch this Sunday?") into a Shakespearean courtroom drama ("To go to brunch, or not to go?"). Leo loves a grand stage and with the Moon involved, emotions will be performing a high wire act.

Do expect sparks to fly, mostly of the exciting variety, although some might be those tiny, pesky ones that insist on landing in your bowl of popcorn. It'll be a test of patience, especially when discussion points flit around like an uncorked sprite, echoing Sagittarius' propensity to overthink and over verbalize everything. Suddenly, a forgotten shopping list qualifies for an in-depth analysis usually reserved for peace treaties.

Playing out a likely scenario, you're discussing a mutual friend's new venture and Mercury, in its mighty Sagittarian armor says "They're so brave!" And then, Leo Moon smirks, and adds: "Yes, it requires courage to risk their inheritance on a business model that's a cross between camel racing and a vegan bakery."

While you'll be looking deeply into everything even remotely intellectual or philosophical, keep a check. Sometimes, a quiche is just a quiche; it's not trying to dismantle the socio-cultural culinary paradigms of postmodern society.

This transit demands you ride the waves with grace. So, keep the lifebuoy handy, look out for each other, and don't forget to laugh as you dive headfirst into the mighty ocean of ideas stirring in both your minds. All in all, remember the words of the late, great astrologer, "Life is too important to be taken seriously." Change as applied by Mercury is inevitable, but the art of laughing at oneself never goes out of fashion.
