As Mercury transits Capricorn, its square to your composite Chiron in Libra sends stirring tremors through your shared energetic field. This transit hones in on communication styles within your relationship, demanding both conscious elaboration and active listening. Capricorn's patient, methodical approach to dialogue could surface tensions as it squares against wounded Chiron, illuminating areas where you've felt unheard or misunderstood.

Simultaneously, take notice of situations where you feel wounded by the words or silence, even molding old grudges and unresolved issues. Chiron's influence prompts healing, but first, it must reveal the nest of thorny conversations avoided in the comfort zones of your relationship.

Let's illustrate this with a scenario: picture an evening where both of you sit down for what seems like a casual conversation. Suddenly, a simple comment triggers a memory-perhaps an old argument, a misunderstanding, or a point of divergence. The wound throbs; it demands to be acknowledged. Your reflex might be to retreat into silence or unleash a defensive salvo. However, this transit asks for bravery-Capricorn's perseverance and Libra's balance collide, urging you to confront the pain and articulately express the latent feelings within.

But it's not just about speaking; it's about listening too. Chiron in Libra holds a mirror, inviting you to see the hurt reflected in the other. It asks for empathy, understanding, and a willingness to perceive transgressions from the other's perspective. Yet, remember that mutual understanding will not erase the pain, but acknowledging it is the first step to Chironic healing.

As Mercury transits Capricorn, let conversations be the forge where insecurities are melted, reshaped into resilience. The square with Chiron may appear ominous, but the cosmos imply that confrontation can bring about resolution. This transit is a taskmaster, guiding you towards a more solid and emphatic way of communication, honing a deeper understanding within your relationship.
