The current transit of Saturn in Aquarius is challenging your joint communicative prowess by squaring your composite Mercury in Aries. This marks a period of necessary refinement and a need for clarity in your discourse. It requires the two of you to test the boundaries of understanding, to ensure that you are saying what you mean, and that you are meaning what you say.

Saturn's stern influence may make your words feel heavier, communication slower, or misunderstandings more frequent. It is a time to practice patience and precision, as an off-the-cuff reaction or fiery retort could feed into an unhelpful cycle of miscommunication. Be vigilant of impulsive or martial communication exchanges; the natal Mercury in Aries can tempt hasty exchanges without conscious thought, catapulting you into unexpected disputes.

Simultaneously, this period invites you to scrutinize your assumptions and re-assert your shared ideals. It's a fitting time to navigate the labyrinth of ideas and examine the validity of shared visions. Saturn's square to Mercury may push you to form a more mature, vas-like, reliable communication system with each other. This growth, though, may be uncomfortable in its urgency but rewarding in its disciplinary way.

In times of tension, intelligent consideration should become your ship to bear this phase. Remember the inherent innovation and eccentricity of Aquarius, and give yourselves space to explore uncommon solutions. Keep in mind that this is not a punishment but a stern lesson in consciousness-raising. As you navigate these choppy waters, realize that the changes required of you are merely the universe's method of solidifying strong foundations in your union. Harness Saturn's energy for structural change, embrace Aquarian innovation, and stay true to Aries directness. In doing so, you'll find the tools to not only withstand this transit's challenges but also to build a richer, more profound understanding between you.
