As Pluto, the planet of transformation, parks itself in Sagittarius, quincunxing your composite Mars in Cancer, decide on some new relationship hobbies. Maybe couples kickboxing, to let out some of that feisty Mars energy, or possibly gourmet cooking - Cannelloni a la Pluto, anyone? This transit encourages you to channel inherent dynamism into shared adventures, expanding horizons both literal and metaphorical. Remember, Sagittarius loves a quest.
Mars in Cancer brings a pull toward home and comfort, a sort of 'Netflix-and-chill' vibe, which could be tested by Sagittarius' adventurous spirit. During Pluto's transit, your relationship may see tension between the comfort of your shared shell and the thrill of Archer's arrow.
That said, don't fret about the occasional spat over whether to order Chinese food or make homemade sushi (hint: if Mars wins, you'll end up with a stir-fry that's more burned than Bruno Mars on a sunbed).
But don't mistake this for an astrological car-wreck. It's a call for balance. Pluto in Sagittarius provides a cosmic nudge - or sucker punch, depending on how resistant you are - toward growth, pushing boundaries, even if those boundary disputes start with "Don't put your cold feet on me!"
If harnessed correctly, this transit's energy can also build a sturdier foundation for your relationship too. Sweater knitting, treehouse construction, maybe designing your own rocket-ship? Mars in Cancer is wonderfully nurturing, and a common project might be just the right timbre to harmonize these energies.
This transit wants you to shake off complacency, to embrace the unknown and seek a richer, fuller relationship vista. Sure, there might be some turbulence. Pluto likely borrowed Saturn's snickers, but I promise you, the cosmic DJ is really playing your relationship the funkiest growth track. Try dancing together, even if at first, it feels like you have five left feet between you.
The real trick with the cosmic cha-cha is to remain adaptable, and cherish the energy of this unique transit. Experiment, explore, learn and laugh togetherâ¦and remember, Mars and Pluto are just celestial wingmen for your love story.
