Just when you thought your relationship was smoothly sailing down Routine River, Mercury transiting in Capricorn is about to blow your astrological hair back, so I hope you two have your nautical metaphors ready. When this quick-footed planet squares off in a sextile with your composite Ascendant in dreamy Pisces, let's just say things are about to get interesting. Good thing you have a seasoned astrologer in your corner, ey?

Mercury in Capricorn calls us to highly focused thoughts, an organized mind, and practical whip-smart decisions. Now, both of you being in a relationship with an Ascendant in the watery Pisces realm, where the veil between reality and fantasy is thinner than a tissue during cold season, are about to experience an interesting blend. No pressure. Merge the Capricorn's earthly stability with Pisces' ethereal vibrations, and you have yourselves a cosmic cocktail that's one part "hard-nosed realist," two parts "daydreamer deluxe."

You will notice a surge in communication as Mercury helps you express those emotions you have been subconsciously tucking away like mismatched socks. Not one to half-do anything, the Capricorn's influence gets you two working well as a single, solid unit, putting legs on those dreamy plans Pisces loves to weave.

On the other side of the coin, hold onto your hats or, in this case, your fish, because Mercury is pulling haystack needles with Capricorn in the mix - a deep dive into the nitty-gritty details of your relationship that often get overlooked like leftover holiday decorations. Be prepared for strategic goal planning sessions, squeezed onto couch corners between cozy movie nights, and morning cereal chats that cut to the heart of your relationship dynamics.

While astrological sextiles spell benefits and biologically fused unity, remember, Mercury in Capricorn isn't all laughter, twinkly lights, and park walks. It's about building from the ground up with refinement and resolution. Throw in that Pisces energy, and your relationship should give soap operas a run for their money. Something tells me Capricorn won't mind, though, because hey, the devil's in the details - and occasionally, sweet moments over cereal bowls.
