This is an interesting theory. We all know that Saturn contacts are important in long term relationships...guess it goes along with "the glue that binds" idea.

My boyfriend and I both have 5 Saturn contacts going either way. His Saturn has some softer aspects than mine though...any ideas what that might mean?

(These are by orb, not just by sign)

My Saturn:
-Opposite his sun
-Conjunct his moon
-Opposite his mars
-Conjunct his saturn
-Square his Neptune

His Saturn:
-Trine my sun
-Opposite my moon
-Trine my mars
-Conjunct my saturn
-Square my neptune

squares his mars
squares his moon
conjuncts his neptune
sextiles his pluto

His saturn-

conjuncts my pluto
sextiles my moon
trines my mercury
sextiles my neptune

There are 4 contacts both ways, but I don't know if outers are significant. You say its sautrn, but I always thought it was the other way around. Like the inner planet person almost feeling like they "owe it" to saturn. Don't know if that;s what you mean but that's what I've thought.

The synastry chart from astro.com shows each of us with three Saturn contacts to the other.

My Saturn:

Squares her Uranus/Pluto conjunction
Squares her Saturn
Opposes her Sun

(I didn't realize I had four contacts until I started writing them out.)

Her Saturn:

Squares my Venus/Neptune conjunction
Squares my Saturn

it doesn't seem to matter if the aspects are hard or soft, just whose saturn is more aspected in some of the cases i have seen. i know that saturn is the one that is reserved, restrictive. maybe its because they feel the attachment more and this is a defensive stance?

also-in magi astrology-they call the chiron/saturn square a heartbreak aspect.
they said saturn is the one calling the shots, controls when the relationship will end- two friends had this w/so and they were the saturn-the chiron called the shots on them. they had good synastry elsewhere also-just that one aspect.

"In synastry, Saturnian contacts are often viewed negatively if there is a square (90 degrees), opposition (180 degrees), or conjunction ( 0 degrees) involved. It is often stated that the Saturn person has a restricting or limiting influence on the other person's involved planet. This is true to an extent but it should be understood that Saturn is the vulnerable one in this situation. He is trying to hide his pain, his weaknesses from his partner and does this with a self-protecting mechanism of domination and 'parental' guidance. The very part of the other person Saturn is trying to restructure is simply an unconscious projection on his part--it is a part of the Saturnian personality that he recognizes but can't consciously associate with himself. Through this relationship, and the reflection of the unconscious need for growth, the Saturnian person becomes more conscious, more developed, in his own right. So how does this affect the other person? Well, it can be very difficult at times but if the person can understand this part of the relationship and work with it, they too will grow. The Saturnian contact will help strengthen the other person's planet and give it more conscious structure. The tension can swing back and forth between the partners as the fears and needs of each partner are put to the test by the contact.

A positive Saturnian contact such as the trine (120 degrees) and the sextile (60 degrees) is easier to work with in the relationship because Saturn and the other planet have more of an understanding between them. Although Saturn can still be unconscious in these circumstances, chances are the Saturnian person has had some prior experience with a Saturnian connection in another relationship and thus has a more conscious knowledge of his Saturnian placement and is working more successfully with the energy. In the new relationship with the positive Saturn connection, the Saturnian is helping build up the structural personality of the current partner. This is a situation of growth for both partners as the Saturnian is learning to share his prior experiences in a teaching position while the other partner is developing the planet in question.

Without the strength and support of a significant Saturn contact, it is fairly difficult to think in terms of long-term possibility in a relationship. This planet is a powerhouse that is often avoided in synastry because the implications are, on the surface, unpleasant. After all, we really don't like to hear the truth about our relationships or ourselves. It is less painful and easier to avoid the truth, at least at first. However, avoidance and ignorance will eventually backlash and can possibly destroy a relationship that could have been saved if the two people involved were willing to open themselves up to their fears and hostilities and had learned to integrate the energy in a more healthy fashion.
