Transiting Jupiter in Scorpio quincunx composite Pholus in Aries

The Jupiter-Pholus quincunx may have the two of you feeling like you've entered the twilight zone, or perhaps signed up for a roller-coaster ride when you only intended a leisurely go-round on the Ferris wheel. Jupiter, spending its gap year in deep, brooding Scorpio, is all about expansion, growth, and sometimes overreaching, while Pholus in Aries is a wild streak in your relationship chart, an untamed spirit out for a romp. So, if you're biting into your morning toast and suddenly feel an inexplicable urge to hike the Himalayas together or attend tango classes, don't blame the gluten-it's just Jupiter pushing boundaries and Pholus fuelling your spontaneity.

During this transit period, you might grow as people, both together and individually, like plants that finally received the right amount of water and Bollywood dance tracks-sudden, dramatic, and catchy enough to remain imprinted on your psyche. But remember, while we're all for spontaneous bursts of backpacking across Europe or starting that long-discussed knitting club, impulsiveness can also lead to Online Shopping Syndrome. So don't buy that inflatable flamingo just yet!

Unresolved conflicts or latent feelings may bubble up like a questionable bottle of champagne; don't cork them down. Give them space, as these may very well propel your relationship growth. After all, imagine trying to assemble IKEA furniture together without looking at the blueprints; that's how repressing issues works.

On a lighter note, if one or both of you suddenly start spouting philosophical quotes or develop an insatiable interest in the lesser works of Friedrich Nietzsche, don't run for Penguin classics. Scorpio's influence, paired with Jupiter's penchant for wisdom, might cause a little bit of quoting-Oscar-Wilde-at-dinner behavior.

Fiery Pholus and watery Scorpio aren't the most compatible. It would be like mixing marshmallows with sushi. And while a marshmallow-sushi fusion could be the next best thing, it's equally probable that it won't; for all we know, it could be a warmed-up disaster. For the moment, navigate both highs and lows with humor, clarity, and, ideally, a little less flare towed behind Pholus. Sorry, Jupiter, maybe next time Scorpio could use a warning sign?
