With Mars gallivanting through Virgo, its energies prick at your composite Chiron in Pisces like a child taunting a goldfish with a plastic shark (well, we did agree on humor, didn't we?). Jokes aside, what this means is, there might just be a set of fiery eyes scrutinizing those old, pesty wounds your composite entity has tucked neatly away.

During this transit, Mars acts quite like your relationship's personal Marie Kondo, the difference being it's hell-bent on sparking discomfort rather than joy. Clad in Virgo's practical earth elements, its relentless scrutiny nudges your composite Chiron. The cosmic itch of the quincunx makes it hard to scratch that spot where Chiron gloomily sits on its celestial bean bag in Pisces' corner. Instead of shoving it further aside (that trick never really works now, does it?), it is beneficial to confront the wounds head-on.

You might find yourselves arguing if ketchup belongs in the fridge or in the pantry (quite Virgoan, unintended Mars side effects)! But prudently explore beneath these "tomato-hued" battles and you'll uncover emotion seeping from old traumas - heirlooms from your combined past experiences. You are not playing an impromptu game of catch the ketchup, but learning to heal collectively.

Pisces, being Chiron's host, might invite an odd emotional wave or two - one minute you're basking in paradise, the next you're drowning in an emotional tsunamiverse. But do not fret! Mars in Virgo has got all the lifebuoys you require (haven't you always wanted to metaphorically float around in space?).

It isn't all gloom and harbored trauma, though. This is about growth within turmoil and ultimately, healing. Think about it this way - a marigold doesn't bloom amidst the summer's caress, but thrives within the erratic kiss of autumn's frost. Your relationship, under this transit, is the emerging marigold. So, roll up those sleeves and let's get to blooming! Patience is key; so is accepting that every wound is not a curse but a stepping stone towards empathetic evolution.

And remember, if things get too spicy on this astrological journey, Virgoan Mars also makes a decent tomato sauce!
