Well, brace yourselves, folks! The Mars transit in Pisces squaring your composite Ascendant in Cancer is akin to ordering a burrito at a sushi restaurant. It's unexpected, a bit conflicted, and could result in some very confused chopstick maneuvers.

Mars, the cosmic hot-head, venturing into the dreamy world of Pisces, is potentially stirrings within your relationship. Tensions may be high as Mars tends to fire up emotions, and it's bobbing about in the water sign Pisces. You might find yourselves embroiled in disputes or disagreements that feel like trying to win a chess game while submerged in a hot tub: tricky, slightly blurry, and someone's bound to lose a bishop.

Meanwhile, your composite Ascendant in Cancer suggests that you two possess a natural empathy for each other. Like a couple intuitively reaching for the salt at the same time at dinner, you're in sync emotionally. But with the current fiery water action of Mars in Pisces, this intuitive salt sharing might hit a few snags. Perhaps extending the olive branch becomes a tug-of-war over the branch instead.

An element of humor may arise in the middle of emotionally charged arguments, perhaps when you both realize you're squabbling over something as trivial as who forgot to buy carrots. Often, it's the moments we feel most aggravated when our funny bones decide to chime in. Laughter will not only alleviate the tension but will remind you both that this phase is temporary and you're only human. Just like everyone else who can't juggle flaming torches on their first try, or those mystified by the concept of origami.

While tumultuous from the get-go, this period is primed for growth. As the red planet dances through Pisces, the relationship develops resilience and you take the humorous bumps along the way. Remember to share the carrots, keep your bishops safe, and don't try to order sushi from a taco truck. You'll get through this, and who knows, you just might come out on the other side with a whole new appreciation for both sushi and burritos.
