Hi Vertiver,Your friend is experiencing Saturn transiting through his 2nd House of self worth. It is moving toward a square with his Natal Saturn-Uranus conjunction. Since Saturn rules his 6th House of the workplace and work in general; Saturn rules the father so his father is strongly on his mind and Uranus rules his 7th House of partnerships but the 7th House is also about public presentation.
As transiting Saturn moves closer to squaring the natal Saturn-Uranus conjunction, he may be feeling more pressure to work, but won't acknowledge his own efforts. At his age, people still take their parents opinion as gospel and it looks like his father has been very tyrannical in his life.
It also looks as if there will be some kind of a break up when transiting Saturn reaches Uranus, if he's in a relationship right now. If it's not a relationship, it's a break from something or someone. He'll be moving on to something new but he needs to make a decision. All of the difficulties he's dealing with now and will deal with in the recent future will come down to this decision he's going to make about something new in his life.
From what I can see, his father is his wound in his life. Venus conjunct Chiron, Venus rules his MC which is the father. Mars exactly squaring his Venus, there is strong aggression from his father, probably very strong anger with Mars in Aries.
I would not stop reminding him of how worthy he is, he really needs to know it, especially when he's not quite believing it. But you also have to know that this is a strong developmental point in his life. The only way through it is for HIM to move through it and get to the other side.
Good luck to him.
