As Saturn transits through Cancer, it forms a square aspect with your composite Ascendant in Virgo, signaling an intense period of change and growth for your union. This transit will challenge you to reconsider the foundational dynamics of your relationship. You might encounter restrictions and responsibilities that could be overwhelming initially, but their purpose will be to make your bond sturdier and more mature.

The nurturing energy of Cancer could emerge as a catalyst for mutual understanding. You may need to offer consolation and reassurance to each other in times of hardship. Emotional sensitivity, while tricky to navigate, could deepen the intimacy within your partnership. Issues related to home, roots, and domestic stability may take center stage. It's common during Saturn's transit through Cancer to discuss moving in together, buying a house, or starting a family.

Simultaneously, the square to your Virgo ascendant suggests that conflicts might arise around how you organize and manage your shared world. Virgo is analytical, methodical, and detail-oriented. It could be challenging to find a balance between nurturing emotions and practical commitment. Maybe one of you is more focused on emotional comfort, with the other being the practical planner, leading to occasional clashes in decision-making processes.

Consider the following scenario. Living separately, you decide that it's time to cohabitate. It's exciting, but not without stress. One of you is exhilarated by the idea of having a shared, cozy space, nurturing and comforting. The other is more concerned about logistics - the location, the budget, assigning chores. While the journey entwining your lives together at a larger scale might be rocky, remember: the challenges you face are not simply roadblocks, but opportunities for growth. If you manage to give each other emotional support, while also maintaining practical efficiency, Saturn squaring your Virgo ascendant could be a crucial milestone strengthening your bond. Every decision made, big or small, has the potential to solidify your relationship far beyond this transit.
