Imagine your relationship as a castle (you're right, not your typical beach house). Solid. Resilient. With the majestic Chiron knocking at your grand door as it transits in Capricorn. This feels less 'Welcome visitors with caramel popcorn' and more 'Lord of the Rings' epic journey style. Don't panic just yet, perhaps just batten the hatches.

With Chiron's transit, expect a deep dive into uncharted waters of your relationship, perusing though hidden depths while (possibly) sticking your tongues out at the universe, because who doesn't appreciate a good adventure? Now, conjunct with your composite Venus in Sagittarius, it's likely you'll be tasked to find healing from past hurts by reevaluating values and recalibrating the ways you express love to each other. It's like drawing straws but both straws are annoyingly introspective.

This period will push you to reassess the fundamentals of your relationship dynamics. Not in a 'Widgets 101' way, but more in the vein of 'Wherefore art thou Romeo...and why do you still forget to buy soy milk?' A potentially bumpy, yet illuminating journey. But as all service providers tell us after a terrible customer service call - your feedback is important to them. Same goes for the universe.

Expect a period of refinement, like whisking a gourmet sauce, except the sauce is your love and Chiron is the overly enthusiastic chef. You'll come to appreciate the complexities within your bond. It's all part of the master recipe for a sophisticated, well-aged relationship - one that doesn't crumble at the first sign of a Capricorn transit.

Take heart. Venus in Sagittarius creates a protective force field of optimism and love of freedom during this intense period. Remember: Use it boldly, but avoid imbuing it with flavors of escapism. Dodging is not always a winning strategy. Unless you're in a dodgeball tournament.

Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was your supersize-me castle. With Chiron as its rumbling undercurrent, your relationship gains an opportunity to transform. Much like broccoli adding layers of flavor to your cheese fondue. Embrace it, because this phase, my friends, is powered with healing energy, flavored with a dash of self-discovery, and served with a side of growth. Bon appetit!
