So what would yer term equivalent be of "best friend"? Just curious here.Also, what would be your qualifications for this equivalent? Like, a relationship that is mature and developed?

Interesting question.
When people talk of "best" friends, they usually express the term when they are in a good mood or the friendship/ relationship they have with the significant other is still at a happy place.
But my term of frienship is not based on "good","better" or "best". It is based on context.
My friendships tend to be very talkative people who are good at expressive themselves in words. Viewing the world in words and analysing their feelings(very honestly) with words. I appreciate that from all of them.
But , all the same, I do not rate my frienships according to "good", "better" or "best".
With my Aquarian friend,for instance, I feel that I can talk about off-the wall concepts and ideas and he'll just "catch" my drift.
But I also find it very difficlut to be emotional with him(unless I am speaking of my emotions from an intellctual/distancing perspective). He seems to be impassive when I feel too intense. In times like those, I don't talk to him.
My Aries friend is extremely bright and he seems to respect my opinion. I have mercury in Capricorn forming a trine aspect to his moon in Virgo.
I also have my Asc(Taurus)squaring his Asc(Leo);I guess that is where the whole "fatherly" thing comes from- given that Taurus and Leo have a "father-child", "boss-employee" relationship.
I find myself always editing him and , in a way, "fathering" him.
He once gave me a compilation he wrote and asked me to look at it and no matter how many people told him of how great it is(including an amateur writer), he took my opinion hard when I told him that I thought it was "mediocre" and he can do better.
But I also know that with him, I have to be sensitive to his feelings and not ignore him when he wants attention. He tends to act like a drama king when he doesn't get enough "mic" time.
But all the same, he is swell. Absolute fun.
The third one is a bit of an indirect person.
I think we connect because of our venus-venus conjunction; we seem to have the same taste in things.
He is able to look at two sides of an argument(mercury and Sun in Libra) and though he does have a side, he doesn't force his own opinion on you and allows for a discussion. I respect that.
It could be maybe cause my Mars is in Libra but I like people who go into a discussion leaving their ego and "wanting to be right" behind. I end up learning so much more from these people.
But with all that being said, he can be quite unpredictable, come off as insensitive (his moon in Aries forms a square to mine in Cancer).
At such times, when he is playing the whole "tough" thing, I just give him space.

I think over time, when a friendship is evolved, people can sit in a friendship being nothing else/no one else except themselves.And that would not only be "fine" but absolutely necessary. Transparency is necessary.
Also, for me it's not necessary for two people to have a great deal in common to become friends(although that would be ideal), but it is enough for them to appreciate each other above all "differences" and arguments.
That would be a relationship that is mature and developed.
I have my Mars in Libra, Sun-Jupiter-Neptune conjuct in Sag and so I tend to be a little too idealistic(forgive me).
