Hold on tight, you two, because Mars, the cosmic warrior, is transiting in the enthusiastic realm of Sagittarius and squaring your composite Pholus in detail-oriented Virgo. This is less 'romantic dinner by candlelight', more 'knife-throwing contest in a spaghetti factory'. Just hear me out.

Mars in Sagittarius brings a fiery, explorative energy. Think of it as your internal motivational speaker, except this one has decided to take up pole-vaulting. There's a high drive for freedom, truth, and expanding horizons here, but it's lugging a suitcase full of brash impulsivity and an all-or-nothing attitude. You'll feel a pull to be exploratively ambitious, whimsically intellectual, probably booking your flight to Mars before Elon Musk does. However, there's an over-zealousness ready to leap out and surprise you like a cake-embedded clown at the wrong time.

Now, squaring your composite Pholus in Virgo adds an additional layer to your already baking astrological cake. The square configuration, as you know, is not so much a 'friendly neighborly chat' as a 'shouting match across the lawn over mistrimmed petunias'. Sagittarius's frenetic drive for exploration spotlighting Virgo's meticulous nature commands both cooperation and compromise. However, if one thing's locked in Virgo's GMO-free pantry, it's a knack for problem-solving.

Pholus in Virgo, is usually that quirky uncle who plans road trips with military precision. But together with Mars in Sagittarius, it may bring up sharp disagreements about methods or approaches, the tidiness of the kitchen, or who forgot to feed the neighbour's cat. It's like trying to make a Virgoan taste a Sagittarian's experimental pasta dish-expect heat, eruptive laughter, and perhaps, insight.

While the transit might sound like a recipe for chaos, don't get your tarot cards in a twist. It's actually an opportunity for enormous personal and relational growth. You're being asked to balance spontaneity with responsibility, freedom with commitment. The dishes might not make it to the sink on time, but by reconciling your desires for exploration with practical necessities, your relationship could reach new depths, even while Mars is hell-bent on booking that one-way trip to outer-space.
