A powerful engine is about to be harnessed to your relationship rollercoaster as the extravagant Mars transiting in the ostentatious Leo seats itself in trine to the power-couple of the Zodiac - your composite Mars in the perceptive Scorpio. Huge reserves of energy and passion will amplify the already thrilling ride of your relationship, so strap yourselves in, and don't forget to fasten the safety bars - especially you Scorpio. We know how you love those dramatic escape acts midway through!

Leo brings a flair for the histrionic to your bond. Expect grand declarations, and yes, maybe a few melodramatic scenes. But, fret not! Unlike your favorite murder mystery, where every gesture was underpinned by motives, this role-playing is all done in good fun. Mars in Leo is the improvised salsa in public parks, not the calculated polka in a grand ballroom. Still, the Scorpio influence should keep you from entirely reenacting the opening of 'La La Land.'

The fundamental vibrancy of this transit is also conducive to a certain degree of competition. Harmless foot races to decide who does the dishes, perhaps? Which, adorably, morphs into a sudden water fight? Whoever said domesticity couldn't be an adventure surely didn't predict this Mars alignment. Bear in mind though, Mars in Scorpio will tenaciously want its fair share. Apologies in advance, Leo, the 'go-for-broke' philosophy won't work here.

The vivacity of Leo Mars trine your composite Mars in Scorpio can also incite a little impulsiveness. New hobbies? Sure. Spontaneous road trips? Definitely. Adopting a dozen rescue puppies on a whim? Pause. Reel in that Mars in Leo enthusiasm, or you will soon be the proud owners of several pairs of chewed-up slippers.

All said, this Mars transit is set to stir up a delightful, energetic chaos that complements the very makeup of your relationship. Frolic. Engage. Enjoy, responsibly that is. Remember, those chewed-up slippers aren't covered by house insurance.
