Well, buckle up, you two, because your composite Moon in Cancer is square to transit Saturn in Virgo. Now, on the upside, it sounds like a fab, new, limited-time-only chocolate bar, doesn't it? The kind that is somewhat hard to crack but soft and gooey on the inside. But hold your sweet tooth! This is transit astrology we're talking about.

As Saturn visits Virgo, it presses you to find balance between emotional well-being represented by your composite Moon in Cancer and necessary practicalities in life ( cue the dreaded chores list). Now, if a visit from Mr. Saturn sounds like a call from an eager mother-in-law who's all about homemaking and order, well, it's not that far off!

But don't surrender to the drudgery just yet! Early in the transit, you might experience the "wax on, wax off" effect. The cohesion in your relationship may appear to dissipate as you grapple with emotional fulfillment versus practical considerations. You might wonder, "Do we really need that avocado slicer?" And of course, the answer is, "Yes, yes you do." It's what separates us from the apes after all!

However, it's precisely this kind of tension Saturn is trying to expose - the battle of heart verus duty. Although the early periods may feel like all the fun has been sucked out of the cosmos, fear not! This is merely a stage of growth. As, you remember, even graceful swans start as ugly ducklings!

During this transit, maintaining balance is paramount. Try finding ways to fulfil both your emotional and practical needs. Cooking dinner together, perhaps? It's resourceful and, with the right mood lighting, romantic too!

A pinch of patience will go a long way. Like waiting for a well-brewed pot of tea, Saturn in Virgo square your composite Moon in Cancer will eventually blend a healthy interplay of emotion and practicality into your relationship. Until then, keep a spoon of humor handy, and remember the avocado slicer! Not because it's essential, but because at least you could laugh about it later.
