Acknowledging Saturn's famous reputation as the taskmaster of the zodiac, you might be viewing its transit in Libra with the same enthusiasm as awaiting a tax audit... of your love life. Relax, you only have to weather its stern gaze until 2022 - it's merely the cosmic equivalent of a lovers' EI audit. (Thanks, Saturn! Help yourself to some couples' therapy coupons on your way out.)

This transit's conjunction with your composite Lilith in Scorpio implies a 'deep dive' for you. Unresolved issues cherished as deeply as forgotten compost at the bottom of your gardening bin will come to the fore. This may include power struggles, emotional baggage, and that misplaced remote control you fought over last Tuesday.

But if you are expecting these difficulties to mirror a Shakespearian tragedy, you'll be pleasantly disappointed. Saturn's presence in diplomatic Libra vies for balance, advocating for an equitable approach to solving disputes. It won't be like splitting an atom; think more along the lines of openly discussing who indeed should bear the responsibility for loading the dishwasher.

However, Lilith's placement in Scorpio won't let you off that easily. It will be as laid back as a caffeinated squirrel, pushing you to confront the deepest fears hovering around the foundation of your relationship. With Saturn's assistance, you're divinely empowered to conquer these fear monsters armed with a proverbial "Bazinga!"

In this period, honesty is your most influential cosmic ally. Inspect what's not working as openly as a toddler volunteers unwanted opinions and address disagreements with the grace of swans in ballet slippers. It isn't all gloom and doom. On the flip side, Saturn's stern discipline and Lilith's intensity combine to intensify your bond. Be open to discovering new facets of your relationship, as surprising as finding out your partner enjoys pineapple on their pizza.

This transit won't all be fun and games - unless your idea of fun and games includes self-discovery, handling profound emotional baggage and yielding unprecedented understanding in your relationship. Remember, not all Saturn transits are created equal; this one just specializes in relatable couple's therapy sprinkled with cosmic humor.
