As Saturn transits in Taurus, it forms a potent conjunction with your composite Venus, laying the groundwork for a defining phase in your partnership. As sturdy as bedrock, Taurus brings a steely practicality to the presence of Saturn - a planet often associated with discipline and structure. Taskmaster Saturn, aligned with your love planet Venus, calls forth a critical examination of shared values, resources, and affections.

Saturn, being slow and methodical, insists on strengthening bonds by firstly revealing weak links. Reacting negatively or defensively can be the gut response - Saturn's reality checks can feel harsh and cold. Although discomforting, these are significant opportunities. Harnessing this energy to address flaws and misunderstandings will lay a foundation more enduring than before.

Venus in Taurus in your composite chart signifies a romance defined by sensual pleasure, aesthetic appreciation and, very importantly, financial security. With Saturn's transit, you may notice a shift towards pragmatic discussions about financial planning, investing, or budgeting - subjects that may have previously been neglected or disregarded. Underneath this, the deeper issue of how well your value systems match becomes prominent. How "in sync" are your desires and definitions of wealth and satisfaction?

Moreover, conjunct Venus, Saturn might highlight spaces where your expressions of love and affection do not fulfill each other's needs. This transit might seem suppressive of spontaneous expressions of love and fun, but it allows for matured, evolved expressions of affection: those that may seemingly lack glamour, but pack a lot more substance and, thus, potential longevity.

Bear in mind, this is not a time for rapid transformations. Tread carefully, considerately, and consciously. Stick to pragmatism. This transit may feel like a testing period but persevere. The treasures hidden in Saturn's challenges are invaluable. Lean into empathy, understanding, patience, and open dialogue to navigate this phase, and your bond could emerge stronger than ever before. Remember, Saturn asks us to reevaluate only what it knows has the strength to improve and strengthen.
