With Mars transiting in Cancer forming a sextile to your composite Chiron in Leo, you're stepping into a period where your relationship's vulnerabilities might get an unexpected dose of healing balm-just don't expect it in a neatly packaged bottle with a bow on top! This transit is all about embracing your emotional battle scars and finding the beauty in them, much like a bruised tomato at a farmer's market, imperfect but oh-so-delicious.

Mars in Cancer asserts protective energy towards home and emotional security, which might stir up past issues related to these areas. But fear not! With it harmonizing with Chiron in Leo, it encourages both of you to face these insecurities with a brave heart (and perhaps, a bit of a roar). It's like deciding to repaint your living room together; sure, you might disagree on shades, but you'll laugh over spilled paint, bonding over the shared goal of beautification.

During this time, you might find yourselves more willing to express vulnerabilities and support each other's emotional landscape. Healing comes through courageous emotional expression and acceptance that even in intimacy, we're all a little flawed. Remember, it's okay to show your backbone along with your softer side-balance isn't just a word for yoga classes!

Chiron's influence in Leo emphasizes the importance of acknowledgment and respect for individual pain points within a collective or partnership. As you acknowledge each other's past wounds with empathy, you develop a deeper, authentically powered union. It's a bit like performing a duet where both of you finally understand the nuances in each other's voices.

Your task during this transit is to foster an environment where both can feel safe enough to show their underbellies, metaphorically speaking. Use this opportunity to gently address and heal old wounds. It's a time for turning battlefields into playgrounds where you can both leap over obstacles hand-in-hand, metaphorically don't try this at an actual playground unless you're both particularly agile!

Overall, while this transit can bring to surface some tender spots, it offers a beautiful chance to strengthen your bond by being each other's emotional armor, albeit with a lot less clank and heaviness than actual armor!
