As Chiron makes its galactic gallop through Aquiarius, conjuncting your composite Mercury, the cosmic clown car might seem overloaded. After all, Aquarius is Mercury's exalted position. Their combination can rattle cognizance and communication within your relationship, making it feel as if you've both stepped foot onto a cerebral rollercoaster. It's a ride you didn't queue for, and there's no refund policy. Buckle up, folks.

Chiron, the wounded healer who has minored in a classic course called 'Poking The Sore Spot 101', links up with Mercury, the whisperer of words and weaver of wisdom. You'll feel this stirring in your shared intellectual sphere. The usual effortless telepathy might appear garbled; even your emoji usage might leave the other puzzled - that's one for the memoirs - 'When a wink became a grimace'.

Whilst Mercury enjoys Aquarius' independent and inventive aura, it must now learn to favor depth over breadth, as dictated by Chiron's healing mandate. Impatient water-bearers might think, "Progress, please!" but Chiron's response might be, "How about pausing instead". Yes, the universe has got jokes, and they're not always delivered with a punchline.

Greetings from your collective unconscious: Chiron's transit subtly illuminates ingrained thought patterns and communication habits that hinder your relationship's advancement. No, you won't need a decoder ring or a secret handshake. Just a pinch of mindfulness, a sprinkle of patience, and a dollop of trust in the transformative process.

Between Mercury's proclivity for swiftness and Aquarius' affinity for invention, you two might be tempted to speak in code or techno-babble. But with the press of Chiron here, your communication might benefit from the old school art of "deep breath" slow, considered dialogues.

Remember, understandings might come dressed in misunderstandings. Those 'lost in translation' situations? Yes, they might be your new BFFs. But they're not designed to ruin your couple GIF collection. They're designed to expand and refine your relational language. A journey from bewilderment to coherence. Astrology, isn't it a stitch?
