During the transit of Mars in Cancer, you're likely to face deep-seated emotional issues that might make your relationship chaotic. The warrior planet in the sensitive sign seeks security but its quincunx to your composite Chiron in Aquarius can push old wounds to the surface. The combined influence suggests a tension between your external behaviors and internal wounds.

This challenging aspect can help pave the growth of your relationship. It encourages honesty and conversations about the emotional trauma you might have been dodging collectively. Although such airing of truths may seem unsettling, it's a significant step to foster healing.

The dissociation of Mars and Chiron creates a massive discord, raising issues you usually avoid. You two, as progressive Aquarius, are accustomed to logic and rationality, but the transit pushes you out of your comfort zone, forcing you to deal with emotional realities. It triggers a sense of alienation and misfit that may shake your foundations.

Mars in Cancer fuels an impulse to protect and nurture while unleashing a wave of shifting moods, making you hard to interpret for one another. On the other hand, Chiron in Aquarius reveals old insecurities about fitting in and being accepted, burdening you with flashbacks of past rejections.

During this transit, you should practice patience and empathy, acknowledging these feelings and providing each other the space to heal. Strive to balance your need for emotional authenticity with your collective identity. This period is not about bypassing the painful points but rather recognizing them as the basis for a stronger bond. Rather than trying to "fix" things, focus on sharing your vulnerabilities, integrating them as part of your shared journey. The final objective is to foster a shared understanding and acceptance that will act as a balm to the wounds identified by Chiron and mobilized by Mars.
