As Saturn makes its formidable transit through Aries, squaring your composite Midheaven in Leo, you may find yourselves standing at the classroom door of the School of Hard Knocks, where the headmaster is a rather stern Saturn demanding respect (and possibly squinting disapprovingly at any lack of discipline). This celestial setup tends to serve a generous slice of reality pie, particularly affecting how you jointly manifest your ambitions and desires into the world.

Saturn, the astrological taskmaster, is all about structure and responsibility, and in fiery Aries, this can spark initiatives that require you to take serious, structured action together. However, with the square to your Midheaven in showy Leo, this may have the feeling of a cosmic tug-of-war. Leo wants to bask in the limelight, while Saturn in Aries says, "Not so fast! First, let's do some groundwork." It is crucial to find a balance that respects both the need for recognition and the demand for solid foundations.

Consider this period a rigorous training montage in a feel-good sports movie, where the team struggles but grows stronger. Only in your version, you're not just aiming for the championship; you're restructuring the whole team playbook. The composite Midheaven in Leo urges you to aspire high, and to cultivate an identity that shines brightly. However, Saturn's square throws in some challenges, pressing you to ensure that these dreams are not just spectacular, but also sustainable.

This might be the time to reassess your shared goals. Are they viable? Are they what you truly want? Saturn demands authenticity and might not let you off the hook until you come up with answers that are as solid as they are passionate. The silver lining? You both have the chance to fortify your relationship's structure and redefine how you support each other's ambitions.

Navigating this transit could be akin to renovating a grand old theater. Yes, the process is dusty and cumbersome, but the end result ensures the show goes on-better and brighter than ever. Prepare to roll up your sleeves, and maybe even enjoy a laugh or two at the absurdity of trying to agree on the color of the curtains.
