Who could know your chart better than you? It's not a matter of "bias" but, more likely, a matter of not liking the answer you are getting! And adding in all those asteroids makes it possible to get just about ANY answer out of the chart! So let's strip away the asteroids for now and just look at the basics of the chart (you can add the asteroids in later, I promise! )

Looking at Libra, Venus, and 7th house in your chart (all are about relationships), you have Libra modifying Pluto (transformation, also control) which can cause a "control or be controlled" attitude toward relationships. The challenge is to SHARE control in relationships. You have Venus trine (energy goes very easily with) Uranus (friends), indicating you may very easily have "friendly relationships" with others (close but not TOO close). Venus is in the 12 house (Venus in house of its exaltation - very easy energy), indicating that you may get into relationships easily. However, Venus squares (energy needs to be combined with) Pluto (transformation, also control), re-emphasizing the control issues mentioned previously. You have no energies in your 7th house, indicating you do not get into relationships for the sake of getting into relationships.

He also has Libra modifying Pluto. He has an unaspected (strong energy) Venus, indicating he may have a challenge "connecting in" to relationships in his life. This could result in his OVERdoing relationships with those around him in an effort to "feel" related to others. He has energies focused in the 7th house, however these are Uranus (friends) (indicating he, too, may be interested in "friendly relationships" with others) and Moon (which can indicate changeability in relationships or change in his attitude toward relationships).

Looking at the inter-relationship (synastry)...there is a connection between yours and his Sun and Moon, indicating there is a "connection" between you. Looking at the personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars), you have four challenging and two easy connections between you. The challenging connections can be exciting in the short-term but may need to be looked at in the long-term. Also, there is only one Venus connection to you, which could result in your not feeling like you "relate" to him strongly. Looking at the rest of the planets, you have Uranus trine Venus between you, indicating this may be a "friendly relationship" of some sort. he also has a lot of connections to your Mercury (thinking, also talking), indicating you may strongly "connect in" with your ability to talk to him. One aspect to be careful of is the Uranus (friends, also rebellion) square Mars (being, also anger), which could indicate arguments between you. You both might want to take time to "cool off" before either of you gets upset!

You and he both seem to want "friendly relationships"...and may have to work on sharing control of relationships. There are some challenges between you to "heat things" up...but be careful that doesn't heat up the anger as well! What you make of the relationship is up to you...so start to examine your relationship more closely and see if the astrology helps you to better understand things. Remember...relationships first...astrology second!

Astro-relaxedly,

Thanks for your reply. See, I thought it looked pretty good too, but this particular guy is Jewish and he has pushed me away, almost from the beginning because I am not Jewish. There's no way I am even going to attempt to change someone's mind about what they are looking for in a partner but I have these very comfortable and stimulating feelings (on many many levels) with him.

We actually only just met in June, one day after my 30th birthday. Overall, I feel disappointed because I really like him, but there is no way to pursue the relationship. I guess I have just been trying to figure out if there is something astrologically present (beyond the basic stuff) which can help me to understand why I totally dig him but why it's never going to happen (minus the religious aspect). Did that make sense?

Thanks again,

Thank you for your interpretation as well. Yes, I agree, focusing on the relationship aspect before astrology is the most important thing. It is just that, as I mentioned above, it 'feels' like there is this great connection between us but that I am the only one to see the potential there...or rather that perhaps he feels it too, but practical concerns (such as religion) overshadow the feelings.

Either way, I am pretty sure that this relationship is not destined to go anywhere due to differing beliefs, but I have been quite curious to try and understand how the potent energies under the surface were affecting things.

Thanks again!

"Beliefs" issues can be seen in a synastry chart by looking at each person's Jupiter. You have Jupiter distantly square Jupiter, indicating you approach belief from different points of view. However, the square ALSO indicates that these energies "need to be combined", so it is possible that by working TOGETHER you can come up with something that enhances BOTH your beliefs. And, with the strong "talking" connections you have (Mercury), there should be much to discuss!

Looking on the "upside",
