Transiting Saturn in Cancer square composite Ascendant in Aries

You'll be relieved to know that Saturn making a pit-stop in your 4th house isn't about to wave a destruction wand over your relationship. After all, Saturn's job description doesn't list 'dream destroyer.' He's more of a stern taskmaster. And his task for you? Making you review the foundations of your relationship.

With a composite Ascendant in Aries, you're usually the dare-devil duo, likely scaling skyscrapers for fun or attempting to outwit the grouchy neighbors. You revel in your shared sense of adventure. But as Saturn squares that fiery Aries Ascendant, he's yelling, "Time out!" He wants you two to swap your rock-climbing gear for some comfy slippers, and consider the cushioning that holds your relationship.

This transit won't bring gloom and doom, though you may experience a soupçon of turbulence akin to a huffy cat when you forget its pampering session. The turbulence reflects your resistance to acknowledge a needed shift from thrill-seeking to building emotional security. Aries might grumble about Saturn turning your roller coaster ride into an evening stroll down a quiet lane. But the ringed planet knows what he's doing. Honest!

Issues requiring superglue could refuse to slide under the "rug of denial" anymore. Property matters could activate the "ouch" button. There might be disagreements about the color of the bathroom tiles or the position of the octagonal window you never really wanted.

But wait! With Saturn in Cancer, you may discover your partner's lasagna is more comforting than climb number 47! And those shared film nights might make the trills of fast-paced life fade into insignificance. You could fumble into a deeper connection that makes Aries say, darn it, maybe Saturn isn't such a killjoy after all.

So, bear with Saturn's corrective visit. You'd be surprised how much more resilient your relationship can become when you cater to its emotional needs. More laughs, fewer adrenaline shots, thank you very much.
