As Mercury transits Pisces, you will find a significant focus on communication within your relationship, one that gifts you with an empathetic, imaginative exchanges, albeit somewhat fuzzy at times. A square, nonetheless, signifies a degree of tension, here between your relational Mars in Taurus and communicative Mercury.

Your common Martian energy, sitting in Taurus, typically lends a steady, sensual rhythm, yearning for durability and calm in the relationship. But with Mercury's influence, a Piscean fog falls on your shared Mars. You will likely find you're unable to express your needs or desires with clarity.

Under such celestial conditions, the risk of miscommunication is heightened. What was once a comfortable pasture with sweet exchanges may now feel like a minefield of misconstrued words and unmet expectations. The stability Taurus naturally seeks will likely be undermined by this interference.

However, the Piscean influence does bring about its own gifts. As intuition heightens, it softens the brunt typically associated with a square position. You can tap into this intuitive reservoir to navigate around direct confrontations. While verbal communication may feel like a stumbling block, your emotional intelligence and sensitivity will be on a high, possibly even uncovering unspoken needs that were previously ignored.

This period of Mercury squaring your composite Mars encourages you to embrace the dreamy, intuitive Pisces energy. It becomes essentially important to trust the depth of your connection rather than resorting to aggressive Mars tendencies. Patience is the key here. Visualize this phase as a winding river rather than a straight highway; unexpected turns are not there to obstruct but to add dimension to your journey.

Remember, along with challenges, this transit also offers opportunities for growth. If navigated wisely, you may come out of it with enhanced sensitivity towards each other and a better understanding of your shared Mars energy. Use the Piscean empathy, and Taurus's groundedness to mediate any conflict that arises.
