"Mercury in Capricorn meets Venus in Aries at the corner, gives a curt Capricornian nod, and they square each other. Drama ensues, but it's not the usual Venusian fanfare. That Mercury in Capricorn is as strict as yoga with a drill sergeant. It's the perfect transit for overhauling your shared communication, you two.

As this transit unfolds, you'll notice some friction in your interactions. Mercury's cold Capricorn logic clashes with the fiery spontaneity of your Aries Venus. You're used to love being a spicy salsa, but Mercury has taken that salsa and frozen it into a popsicle. It's a chilly change, but that doesn't mean you're doomed to an icy existence.

Capricorn urges discipline and order, even in matters of love. It's time to examine how you express desires and discuss feelings. If your preferred method of communication is charades, you might want to reconsider. Mercury in Capricorn might ask for a business schedule, suggesting a PowerPoint presentation instead. An overkill, you'd think, but Mercury insists, 'Every passionate feeling well-expressed, counts.'

Go through your Venusian desires and Aries impatience to see if there are constructive, albeit boring Capricornian ways to handle them, so they don't explode mid-argument leaving a crater-sized memory. That Capricorn energy is strict, but it just wants you to avoid turning your romance into an action movie trailer.

Meanwhile, Venus in Aries stands in the corner, huffing. She's still passionate and fierce, but she also learns the value of controlled expressions. There's a lesson about holding back the white-hot, spontaneous Aries declarations to draft a script that Capricorn wouldn't shame red at the grammar.

Graced by the ever-practical Mercury in Capricorn, you learn to communicate in ways that respect your fiery passions while maintaining formality. Negotiations might feel as steamy as making tea in Antarctica, but remember, even a popsicle can have a fiery jalapeño core. You two can work through the frictions, flavor your relationship with these fresh changes, and perhaps, end up laughing at the 'squareness' of this transit."
