You're about to enter a learning marathon of sorts, a type of cosmic boot camp. With Saturn, the stern schoolmaster of the cosmos, transiting through Sagittarius, and conjunction your composite Ascendant in Capricorn, you two will likely feel as if you've been enrolled in the universal university of "Life and Relationship." Everything might feel like a test. But hey, no pressure, right?
This period won't be a walk in the park. Saturn has an unapologetic fondness for reality checks, and will inevitably turn the spotlight of truth on all those underperforming bits in your relationship. Is it time for you both to get serious, or to loosen up a little? Saturn isn't saying yet, but it's taking attendance. Meanwhile, Sagittarius will stir your adventurous spirit, encouraging you to make a leap of faith when you'd rather stay cocooned together in the comfort zone.
Now, when it comes to your Ascendant in Capricorn, things get even grittier. A desire for security and stability might be stirred, provoking more anxiety than a call from the unknown. Breathe. You'll learn to transition from "we don't like change" to "change loves us, right?!"
There's a silver lining, and not just because Saturn forgot to pay the electric bill. This period, as painfully sober as it may seem, in fact, offers a golden opportunity to redefine what you unite upon-the common factors that have brought you this far and will thrust you forward.
Having your relationship scrutinized may sound like a task harsher than trying to explain your Internet history to your grandmother, but remember-it's all grist for your growth mill. Cut yourselves some slack-you're not the first couple to take a celestial audit.
So, straighten those spines and remember to laugh, because even though Saturn may appear the stern taskmaster, it has a funny bone-it just takes about 29.5 years for it to tickle. As for Sagittarius, he's ready for the afterparty. You're in this together-to grow, goad and gag on the stardust of shared life lessons. Onward and upwards!
