As Mars transits through Aries and forms a square with your composite Eros in Leo, you might find yourselves in a dynamic if somewhat tumultuous phase in your relationship. This alignment is characterized by an intense drive for individual expression which could clash with your shared desires for affection and attention, typical of Eros in Leo.

During this period, your interactions are likely to be charged with passion. It's a time when you both want to take the lead, possibly making joint decisions a battleground. You might experience scenarios where one wants to explore new, adventurous experiences while the other seeks appreciation and romance, leading to a push-pull dynamic. This can manifest in a spirited evening where one of you wishes to go dancing at a vibrant club, while the other desires a more intimate, quiet dinner at a luxurious restaurant. Though inherently different in expression, both desires stem from a deep-seated need to feel loved and valued.

Such tensions can be a gateway to deeper understanding and growth if approached with awareness. The key is in acknowledging that your expressions of love might differ but are equally valid. Harness this energetic square to openly discuss what makes each of you feel appreciated and how you can fulfill these needs without sidelining your own.

Mars in Aries injects courage and directness into your interactions. Use this to address issues head-on rather than letting them simmer. Be mindful, as Mars can also make you both quick to anger. Practice patience and channel this assertive energy toward constructive solutions that honor both of your needs.

Ultimately, this transit tests your ability to maintain individuality while nurturing your joint emotional bond. Successfully navigating it can lead to a stronger, more resilient union, enriched by a deeper appreciation of each other's uniqueness.
