As Lilith transits Virgo and forms a square with Pholus in Capricorn in your composite chart, you may experience heightened tension in the foundational themes of your relationship. This period pushes you to address hidden or suppressed elements that are potentially disruptive. Lilith's energy encourages you to confront the unseen or unspoken, while Pholus in Capricorn suggests that this transformation could arise suddenly or unexpectedly, often relating to structures, plans, or roles within your union.

This dynamic can manifest as power struggles, particularly over issues of purity, service, and duty - hallmarks of Virgo - clashing against the Capricornian themes of control and governance within your relationship. You might find that minor grievances or critiques become catalysts for larger discussions about responsibility and authority between you.

The square aspect indicates friction but also the potential for significant growth. By bringing issues to the surface, you are both provided an opportunity to work through deep-seated patterns that may have been hindering your relationship's progression. The challenge here is in managing the critical or perfection-seeking tendencies of Virgo stimulated by Lilith's influence without becoming overly rigid or authoritarian as can be the temptation with Pholus in Capricorn.

Emotionally, this period is likely to stir vulnerabilities, especially around issues of judgment and adequacy. Each partner may feel more sensitive to criticism, perceived or real. The key lies in addressing these feelings openly rather than allowing them to fester.

Adopting practical Virgoan strategies-such as focusing on improvement and efficiency, rather than fault-finding-can help stabilize your connection. Likewise, embrace the Capricornian strengths of reliability and structure to support each other constructively. This transit, though challenging, invites profound transformations that, if navigated conscientiously, can fortify the bonds of your relationship and help foster a deeper understanding of each other's complexities.
