As Mercury transits Sagittarius quincunx your composite Mars in Aries, expect an increase in discomfort and tension between you both. This planetary alignment often brings misalignment in communication and action. You may find yourselves in situations where your words contradict your actions, creating confusion and irritation. For instance, while discussing an adventure trip, you may argue about the risks involved or disagree on the itinerary, despite both of you being equally excited and curious about the journey.
With Mars in Aries, your relationship is fueled by passion, spontaneity, and competition. This transit of Mercury could bring miscommunications that seem to challenge your dominant energy. You might find yourselves in disagreement over minor details that normally wouldn't hinder your dynamic. For instance, a dinner plan could ignite a heated debate over restaurant cuisine or choice, an issue that would typically evoke laughter instead of frustration.
The quincunx aspect further predicts adjustments, and with Mercury, the planet of communication is involved, it recommends learning new ways to converse. You might need to adapt to each other's communication styles more than ever. This could look like implementing more active listening, or offering quiet support to the other when they've had a challenging day.
Despite the challenging energy, this transit also presents a hidden opportunity. The inherent stress forces you to challenge your assumptions and engage in healthy conflict resolution. It's like that moment in the adventure, where despite having an argument about the route, you both find ways to navigate through the glitch, realigning your shared goals, reigniting the passion, and moving forward with increased understanding and compromise.
Success during this transit will lean heavily on your adaptability, empathy, and patience with one another. Remember, every transit brings its lessons, and this one calls for a more nuanced approach to communication, key to strengthening your bond.
