As Saturn transits in Aries, squaring your composite Sun in Sagittarius, you may find this period to be one of increased tension and challenge. The old structures that held your relationship together may feel as if they are under fire, instigating a need for reinvention and growth.

Saturn's energy in fiery Aries promotes assertiveness, prompting you both to reassess self-identity within the relationship. Be mindful, however, as it can also manifest as power-struggles or battles of ego. This discord is amplified by the enthusiastic, sometimes brash energy of Sagittarius in your composite sun.

Simultaneously, this aspect also brings the potential for maturity. Saturn encourages structure and responsibility, which can be beneficial in pinpointing areas of your relationship that require strengthening. The Sun in Sagittarius, meanwhile, opens doors for frank discussions about personal and shared philosophies, encouraging exploration and growth.

During this transit, patience is essential. Bear in mind that with Saturnian lessons, the rewards don't usually come until after the lesson has been learned. Remember too that change, as much as it can be uncomfortable, is often the reference point for growth.

A solitary Saturn squaring the Sun can be a heavy burden; however, in a composite chart, it is shared between both individuals. Together you have the resources, resilience, and determination to navigate through this testing period. The key is to use the inherent strengths of Aries and Sagittarius - courage, optimism, and a pioneering spirit - to continue building your bond.

Finally, this transit acts as a turning point, enabling you both to ascertain which elements of your relationship are working and which are not. Despite the challenges, by acknowledging and addressing the issues, your relationship can emerge from this transit more resilient and robust than before.
