Lily,Thanks for posting the birth information. The way a person approaches any relationship (from the most casual to the most intimate) can be seen by looking at Libra, Venus, and 7th house in their chart.
Your dad has Libra modifying Jupiter focused in the 7th house, indicating he is very expansive about his relationships and may be very open to making new relationships. He has Aquarius (friends)modifying Venus focused in his 11th house (friends) so he may want to be "friends" in his relationships (close but not TOO close).
Doc has Libra modifying Moon (home, also emotions) focused in the 4th house (home, also emotions) conjunct (energy is combined with) Nadir (inner world), indicating he could be very emotional about his relationships and need to get very "comfortable" with someone in order to relate to them. This possibility is re-emphasized since Moon squares (energy needs to be combined with) Saturn (duty, also restriction). Doc also has Aquarius modifying Venus. Doc has Mars (being, also anger) focused in the 7th house, indicating he might get angry at others in his relationships.
Looking at the two together, since there is a connection between their Suns there is a "connection" between them. Looking at the personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars), there are few connections, indicating they may have few things "personally" in common or of interest to the other.
Looking at the rest of the planets, Doc's Pluto (transformation, also power) opposes (energy is over-excited by) your dad's Mercury (thinking, also talking/daily work), indicating Doc may "push his point" with your dad or try to overpower his thinking in some way. The challenge is for Doc to not overwhelm your dad's talking. Also Doc's Uranus (friends, also rebellion) opposes your dad's Saturn (duty, also structure), so Doc may rebel against your dad's strucutures in life and possibly want to "restructure" them in some way, and your dad may want to structure Doc's rebellion. The challenge is for both to accept the other for who they are. Your dad's Pluto opposes Doc's Saturn, indicating irresistible force (your dad) meets immovable object (Doc). The challenge is to "dial down" the power moves around each other. There are also some challenging aspects to Neptune (spirituality, also confusion), indicating there may be some confusion between them. And, you mentioned your dad's Pluto (transformation, also control) conjunct (energy is combined with) Doc's Ascendant (self) as indicating your dad could try to "transform" or overpower Doc in some way.
Both have the other's planetary energy conjunct their South node, which to some astrologers indicates a past life connection...in this life it is an indicator that the other person could "hold back" the other person in some way.
Your dad seems to be very open to new relationships, while Doc may be very protective of his relationships...which could cause misunderstandings between them about the "right way" to relate with the other. They each have power and control issues with each other, and may want to "improve" the other person in some way. This could cause a LOT of tension between them. The challenge is for them to learn and grow from each other without either trying to remake the other. This challenge may be made more challenging since each could hold the other back in their life evolution.
Relating,
Tim
