As Mars wows its way through Capricorn, hashing a challenging square with your composite Moon in Virgo, let's just say life together might feel like a plate-spinning act on a unicycle...on a tightrope...over a pool of hungry piranhas. Good luck, team!

The brawny-red planet, Mars, is all about charge, drive and "move over, this is my lane" energy. When it squares your composite moon - the emotional thermostat of your relationship - it's comparable to a salsa-dancing rhinoceros joining a ballet recital. Try not to step on each other's toes!

There are bound to be moments where the 'you' that once made up a well-oiled, symbiotic team will begin seeing the world through shades of "I". With Mars in hierarchical Capricorn disrupting your Virgoan co-blended nurturing, delegated roles may come under scrutiny. Cue the drama: "Wait, I've always done the dishes, why do you get to play Xbox?" Let's just say, that Xbox controller might be utilized as a frypan sooner than you think.

While your relationship's need for orderly comfort (thanks, composite Moon in Virgo) mutters, "Can't we all just get along?", Mars in Capricorn retorts, "Forgive the mess but I cannot find my robustly gilded ruler." Ah! Authority squabbles on the horizon. Be wary of this energy propelling hasty actions fueled by emotional frustration.

Here's a tip though: Capricorn has a very strategic mind, and with the strategic use of Mars' charge, you can drive right into conflict resolution...or the next available wall. The choice, as always, is yours. To contain the wild Mars energy, delineate duties anew if needed, respect each other's need for private corners, and spend time recognizing your individual ambitions as well as shared ones.

In a nightly scene swirling with complex energies, you spot your backyard gnome has gone missing. Mars in Cap: "The gnome was horrendous. I got rid of it." Moon in Virgo: "But, it had memories!" This isn't about the gnome, it's much more - find common ground!

Remember: Each storm does pass. Mars will move on, chores will get done, and you may even find a fancy new gnome for the backyard. Underneath all that stardust and salsa moves, you are still a team. Amid salsa-dancing rhinos, piranha-filled pools, or disappearing gnomes, keep this in mind.
