As Mars takes a power-walk through the park of Capricorn, kicking pebbles and exposing all, you might feel like a lumberjack chopping chopped wood: hard-working indeed but slightly, er, redundant. This is a screeching planetary alarm clock, so, wakey, wakey! Mars quincunxing your composite Ascendant in Virgo sends a wake-up call for your union, pushing you to ponder the deeper meaning behind the word 'chop.' Metaphorically, of course.

You're being urged to address matters that once seemed securely packed in Pandora's box, but which, like an overstuffed suitcase, now threaten to burst at the seams. There's a sniff of change in the air, and we don't mean the culprit who keeps stealing your lunch at work.

This intense transit could make you feel like you're sporting a flashy neon sign blinking "Work in Progress!" It's like an unexpected visit from Mars - the cosmic Marie Kondo - urging you to tidy up your relationship's clutter. He might not be gentle about it, but don't worry, you got this!

As Virgo Ascendants, you are usually pretty coolheaded. But now, Mr. Mars in 'Goat-Mode' Capricorn demands urgency. If there's anything you two have been conveniently sweeping under the cosmic carpet, it's time to either toss it or give it a proper place in your relationship's 'living room.' Yes, yes, we hear you groaning - Carpets are used to walk, not to examine! But trust us, this decrypt-routine may help to remove that 'elephant in the room.'

Now, remember, Mars may like to holler "Charge!" like a battle-crazed Viking, but you're Virgo Ascendants - 'logistics experts'. Channel that nervous energy into a productive strategy. A to-do list can be your shield against this planetary onslaught. Holster those critical analytical skills, fashion a battle plan, and let's face the heavy-lifting head-on together.

Navigating this transit is like walking a goats' tightrope with Mars shouting advice from below. Balancing is key. And by the time Mars move on, you'll see that these transitory bumps have only strengthened your composite base. There, you nailed 'Chop 101.' No chopping blocks were harmed during this transit. Definitely the 'wood-plank' walk you never anticipated, but one that will leave you stronger!
