During the course of Mercury's transit in Capricorn, you're entering a critical phase where communication within your relationship will be tested. Mercury, the planet of communication and understanding, is bracing itself against your composite Chiron situated in the spiritual and emotional realm of Pisces. This challenging square aspect provokes deep healing opportunities, while also unearthing a degree of discomfort.

Capricorn's pragmatic energy ruffles Pisces' ethereal disposition, resulting in a tussle between your objective thought and the more abstract, emotional areas of your combined psyche, as mirrored by your composite Chiron. Therefore, dialogues may risk appearing more harshly pragmatic than intended, causing confusion. During this period, you might contend with an upsurge of misunderstood words and sentiments, and unforeseen, difficult emotional reactions. The key lies in using Capricorn's stoic perseverance to unmask that emotional wound and work through it methodically.

While the Mercury-Chiron square is not necessarily synonymous with a blazing conflict, it does induce an exploration of your deeper vulnerabilities. Composite Chiron's position in Pisces indicates residuals of pain and insecurity seeping from the relationship's emotional substrata. These might relate to shared traumas or individual experiences that have become entwined within your mutual narrative.

The Mercury transit, however, isn't all about wounding. It also offers a potent opportunity for healing. By unearthing and addressing the source of your pain, the cathartic act of discussing and dissecting it under the Capricorn influence will encourage healing. The very act of trying to understand, articulate, and rationalize your emotional problems, thanks to Mercury's probing influence, can be deeply remedial.

All things considered, treat this time as a therapeutic phase in your relationship. By embodying Piscean empathy and Capricorn's determination, you will not only confront your discomfort - you'll emerge victorious, bringing your relationship to a deeper level of understanding.
