As Saturn kicks back in Cancer and opposes your composite Mars in Sagittarius, you might feel like two sumo wrestlers in a tea cup shop, trying to dance without stepping on any cups - clumsy and tense, yet ridiculously entertaining for onlookers. Being associated with structure and discipline, Saturn in its opposition phase can stir some challenging waves in your relationship, shaking your tea party.

Saturn's transit through sensitive Cancer could make your partnership feel burdened, like you're a crab wearing a heavy shell, having to navigate through hot sands under a scorching sun. Mars in Sagittarius, in opposition, could feel like a wild horse lassoed just when it was getting its sprint on. What?! Horses can't wear shells, Saturn!

This tug of war between Saturn and Mars may pave a path with trials that test your patience, and a judicious measure of maturity is recommended. No, this doesn't mean you can't make fart jokes while sorting out your taxes. But it does imply a time for consciously cultivating patience without losing your warmth.

However, is this so terrible? It's not all doom and gloom! Remember, it's nature's way of sprinkling a generous dusting of reality over your relationship souffle that might have risen too high, too fast, risking a collapse. Occasionally, even the most adventurous pair might need to huddle inside a protective shell, discuss practical matters and swap battle scars of past encounters.

This rigidity isn't permanent - consider it a cosmic Botox, a temporary measure to iron certain wrinkles off your journey together. The duality often results in a broadening of your combined worldviews, and an appreciation for the nuances of compromise. Who knew quarrels about whose turn it is to change the cat's litter could be so enlightening?

So, keep dancing, even if your steps appear awkward. This time is less 'desert of despair' and more 'comically navigating a new dance floor,' one where humor, patience, and vulnerability truly shine on this ongoing cosmic journey.
