As Mars transits through your Capricorn and forms a quincunx with your composite Ascendant in Leo, expect to confront dynamic shifts initiated in your relationship. Capricorn's practicality counterbalanced with Leo's fiery spontaneity promises substantial growth potential, but not without its challenges.

Mars, the planet of action and desire, in disciplined Capricorn is bound to encourage a more structured approach. The intense energy of Mars could inspire you to invest more time in delineating shared goals, putting in the effort to actualize them. However, beware of letting this turn into rigid control or uncalled for dominance-it could strain your relationship.

Leo Ascendant's innate charisma and passion, in contrast, crave recognition and joy. The quincunx aspect here mirrors a certain friction between your relationship's expressive needs and the more grounded aspects Mars in Capricorn demands. To minimize contention, listen to each other's viewpoints earnestly, with an open-mind. There's no right or wrong here, merely a question of balance and compromise.

Imagine yourselves as a pair of dancers, with Mars transiting Capricorn changing the pace and rhythm of the music unexpectedly. The dance, your relationship, depends on how smoothly you acclimate to these shifts. One of you might feel driven to lead more insistently, the more practical and systematic nature of Capricorn coming to the fore. The other, imbued with Leo's confidence and warmth, may insist on more laughter, play, and spontaneity.

Navigating these transitions may feel rocky initially. They are, however, opportunities for growth and deeper understanding. Embrace patience. Encourage compassion and clear communication. Recognize each other's efforts and accomplishments, keeping in mind that you're in this dance together. The well-focused intensity of Mars in Capricorn and the expressive flair of a Leo Ascendant can be harmonized. With mindful negotiation, this period could infuse your relationship with a powerful dynamic, beneficial in the long run.
