Transiting Mercury in Capricorn square composite Pholus in Aries

With Mercury transiting in Capricorn, and squaring your composite Pholus in Aries, you're presented with an enchanting riddle of cosmic proportions. While Capricorn and its ruling planet Saturn are about structure, rules, and discipline, Aries and its ruler Mars are all about initiation, action and courage. And Pholus? The centaur is known for opening Pandora's boxes - and not locking them afterward!

Mercury in Capricorn stimulates your mutual intellectual rigour. However, this isn't about arguing over how many Capricorns it takes to screw in a lightbulb (It's one, does anyone really doubt the efficiency of a Capricorn?); it's about the analytical, purpose-driven discussions you share.

The square aspect, though challenging, turns the heat to the right degree - not too hot that you fight over the thermostat, yet warm enough to stop you from freezing in indifference. The constructive friction it provides can lead to deeper understanding, if you're willing to tread rocky astral roads.

Here's where Pholus in Aries enters the chat. This celestial wildcard, speeding in the fiery sign of Aries, stirs up individuality and impulsive behavior. Be it a sudden urge to adopt six cats despite being allergic, or paint the living room neon pink at 3 am, the pandemonium is real.

As Capricorn's structured voice of reason clashes with Aries' spontaneous enthusiasm, it's like listening to an opera, a rock concert, and a stand-up comedy show concurrently. However, remember that harmony can come from dissonance if you embrace the sweet chaos.

Mercury squaring Pholus pushes you to express what conventionally might be kept quiet, hidden behind the walls of societal acceptability or personal taboo. Brace yourselves as these planetary energies push you both to shrug off previously-worn cloaks of reluctance, and say, 'So what if I eat pizza with a fork and knife? Deal with it.'

Despite the tumultuous ambiance, this phase can strengthen your bond. The key lies not in dodging your unique quirks but in embracing them, knitting them into the fabric of your togetherness. After all, it's these idiosyncrasies that make your composite relationship as enchanting as the stars you're under.
