As Mars pirouettes through Capricorn, hitting a harmonious trine with your composite Mercury in Taurus, the cosmos is undoubtedly cooking something up! This transit is less like a fiery salsa dip and more like a simmering coq au vin - not instantly setting your tongues on fire, but warming you up from the inside.

This is a call to action, and yours seems to revolve around the harmonious integration of intent and communication within your relationship. Mars, the celestial general, urges you to march ahead, while Mercury, the chatty cabbie, is all for smooth, cogent exchanges. And in the solid, determined signs of Capricorn and Taurus? Let's just say, you two are about as determined as a pair of Capricorn goats stubbornly climbing a mountain. Let's hope it's not into an argument, though.

While Mars keeps sending Evites to Communication Party, both of you must RSVP "yes". Playing elaborate games of "not-it" won't do. Here's the kicker: this isn't about who can be the loudest megaphone or who can shush the other with a single glare. Harness the Taurus element by speaking honestly, yet gently. The Martian energy serves well here as it tinges your words with needed assertiveness but remember: a bull in a china shop is just bad news!

With Mercury in Taurus lending a grounded pragmatism, this is a great phase to tackle initiatives that require both action and discussion- home renovation, rocketship building, or perhaps deciding who takes out the trash? One of these may not be like the others, but with Mars in Cap, nothing is too small or mundane to demand your attention.

What does Mars in Capricorn say to Mercury in Taurus? Buckle up, gear up, talk it up and for heaven's sake, let's get going! And if Mercury grumbles about the hard work, remind it of the joy in crossing off a 'to-do' list. Although, there's no guarantee that'll make Mercury any less grumpy, it's worth their planetary weight in gold to try.
