As Saturn takes a jaunt through your fiery Aries, making a quincunx to your composite Pluto in Virgo, you'll understand the truth in the saying: 'The only constant is change.' This transit is the cosmic equivalent of a cleaning whirlwind, where the celestial housekeeper known as Saturn sternly tells you, 'If you haven't used it in the past year, it's time to throw it out!'
Quincunx is the coy word astrologers use when they can't agree on a placement between transit and natal planets. It's like a bad romantic comedy -- the mismatched pair has potential but boy oh boy, will they argue first! Picture a toughened, old-school coach: that's Saturn. He's got a mission to knead you into the best version of yourselves. Then there's Pluto in Virgo, who's the star player so obsessed with perfecting every tiny detail that he sometimes forgets to shoot the ball.
So what does this mean for you? This transit demands flexibility - think of yourselves as cosmic gymnasts, flipping and adapting with every arm wave from Pluto and every stern nod from Saturn. Expect pangs of transformation, particularly in your routines. Where you once had a casual Saturday brunch routine, Saturn may insist you sit down and decipher the hieroglyphics in a thousand year-old tome. Just kidding, though you might find yourselves practicing a new disciplined approach to your habits.
Adjustments will have to be made, and they're not all going to feel like a day at the beach... more like a Volcano hike maybe? The important thing is to reinforce your bond amid these changes: the shake-ups and the learning moments - because whether or not Pluto learns how to pass the ball or Saturn finally cracks a smile, that's what this astrological rollercoaster ride is all about.
As Pluto evolves from a nitpicking star player to a practice-loving perfectionist, and Saturn lightens up a bit (don't expect a complete personality transplant though), you too will be shifting gears. When your evolutionary journey together seems too intense, hang onto the part where life is more like a sitcom than a soap opera! Remember, a dash of laughter can sometimes be the best cosmic medicine.
