This transit raises questions and draws your attention to the enigmatic areas in your relationship, areas that may have been kept hidden or unexplored. It's an opportune time for open-hearted dialogues, without accusations or defensiveness. Mars brings a raw impulsiveness which can be harnessed for courageous honesty, while Neptune allows empathy to temper any potential conflicts.

Simultaneously, Neptune's dreamlike influence may make it easy to overlook practical considerations. Awareness of this can help you balance visionary excitement with grounded realism.
