As Venus commences its transit through Capricorn, you'll find your partnership going through a process of refining and deepening. This transit opposes your composite Pholus in Leo, which may cause some tensions. Venus in Capricorn bestows a pragmatism and groundedness in love, anchoring your relationship in reality, while Pholus in Leo asks for lavish expressions of affection and recognition.

Due to this opposition, you may experience a dichotomy of values, where one part of you hunger for the grandeur that Pholus in Leo captures, while another part seeks the steadiness that comes with Venus in Capricorn. It may seem as though these energies are at loggerheads, battling for ownership of your shared entity, but it needs not be viewed in such dichotomous terms.

Instead, consider this as an opportunity to recalibrate your relational desires and priorities. Venus in Capricorn calls out for maturity in love, for a steady buildup of shared experiences, and for understanding the value of time and space in a relationship. On the other hand, the opposition of your composite Pholus in Leo demands that this maturity and steadiness be wrapped in the gold of recognition, acknowledgement, and ample displays of affection.

There may be moments where this clash of energies could elicit frustrations, where the demands of Pholus in Leo may seem too exuberant and flashy for the down-to-earth temperament of Venus in Capricorn. Yet, the beauty herein lies in the potential to find a balance, to harmonize the fire of Leo's Pholus with the earthiness of Capricorn's Venus.

Be open to discussions about your joint values, to explore how to best integrate these seemingly opposing energies. In doing so, you'll both not only resolve the tensions of this planetary transit but also help your relationship grow into a stronger, well-rounded, and more harmonious entity.
