As Saturn strides with the confidence of a catwalk model through Leo, you're in for a cosmically tricky time. Have you thought about getting matching helmets? You may need them as this Saturn transit is no astrological picnic, squarely opposing your composite Ascendant in Aquarius. It's like inviting an austere uncle to a technicolor rave. Don't expect him to join the conga!

Understandably, your relationship will feel rockier than a goat's path through mountain terrain. But hey, diamonds are just chunks of coal that stuck to their job under pressure. These intense forces push you to shed the superficial and uncover the raw reality of your union. It's akin to stripping an onion, and it might involve a few tears, or at least some mildly-sweaty brows. Who said astrology wasn't an extreme sport?

Saturn demands discipline - consistency is king here. Let's hope you both are better at establishing routines than most people are with their New Year's resolutions. Those abandoned gym memberships can testify! Apply some of that Aquarian innovation to navigate this turbulence.

There's also an issue of boundaries. Saturn in Leo may stoke the vein of egoism in your relationship, creating a tug-of-war. Don't let this conjure dramatic soap opera moments in your life, unless, of course, you fancy a daytime Emmy. The Aquarian level-headedness that laces your composite chart could provide the antidote to Saturn's ego-centric drive.

This period will aid in understanding the dynamics of power. It's a cosmic game of chess with Leo roars echoing in the background. Can you chisel out a system of balance that doesn't tip the scales too drastically in favour of any one partner? Keep in mind to negotiate, not dominate.

Though it may seem like Saturn is playing the role of the strict principal to your relationship's rebellious teenager, remember this: tough love often yields the best results. Saturn, for all its peremptory posturing, is merely pushing you towards a stronger, more genuine relationship. The kind where even on bad hair days, you still sparkle brighter than Leo's regal constellation.
