As the Lunar Node transits in Scorpio, it forms an opposition with your composite Mercury in Aries. This highlights a period of profound discussion and deep thinking within your relationship. The Scorpio energy urges you to delve below the surface, to search for the underlying motivations and secrets that could be influencing your communicative patterns.

Transits of the Lunar Node often suggest growth and evolution, and in mysterious Scorpio, this could bring a desire to penetrate to the heart of matters. You may find yourselves involved in intense exchanges, perhaps addressing issues you've discreetly avoided. The challenge will be to navigate these roiling emotional waters without resorting to manipulation or control - traits that Scorpio can sometimes fall prey to.

On the other hand, your composite Mercury in Aries supports direct, assertive communication. Aries tends to be open and transparent, less concerned with hidden depths and more focused on immediate experiences and responses. Balancing this Aries energy with the darker undertows of Scorpio could be a key dynamic of this period. Be mindful that your desire to cut straight to the point doesn't become unnecessarily combative or destructive.

Also, remember that Mercury rules the mind, perception and conversation, while the Node is about karmic lessons and holistic evolution. So, this period is not only about how you communicate, but also about what you learn from each other. It's an opportunity for transformative dialogue that could reshape your perceptions and understanding of each other.

Express yourselves with courage and honesty, giving full allowance to the depth and complexity that Scorpio can reveal. Yet harness the directness and assertiveness of Aries for clear, constructive communication. Deeply understanding each other's words and feelings is your pathway to align with the evolutionary intent of this transit. Live the challenge, cherish the growth.
