Like you say your Moons are square each other and this aspect is not the greatest in synastry. It suggests an incompatibility of emotional responses that can be quite testing.On your natal chart it looks like your Moon is square Pluto. This is quite a difficult aspect to live with, as it carries intense feelings and emotional needs you find hard to satisfy. I have the conjunction, so I can empathise with this a bit, some form of outlet outside of relationships is helpful, maybe creative. You have another tricky placement with the Moon opposite Venus. On the one side of the see-saw is your emotional needs, on the other your social interactions. You don't always get what you want out of situations, and maybe there is something of the people pleaser about you. Maybe interacting with others is also sometimes a problem.
It might be worth reading up on these difficult aspects on Astrology Weekly and Cafe Astrology.
Your friend has Mercury conjunct Uranus trine your Venus, and sextile your Moon. Check out how that makes a triangle on the chart you have posted. It is flowing energy that is providing an escape route for your opposition.
He must be quite original, and articulate. I'd imagine he helps you express your feelings. Careful though, Jupiter joins in this triangle shape, being conjunct your Moon. This is generally an harmonious aspect, but watch out that its opposition to your Venus could be expressive of a certain amount of self-indulgence ~ too much escapism, maybe.
Your Mercury is conjunct his Mars, it's not a close aspect being at 7 degrees, but it reinforces the impression that this is a mentally stimulating relationship.
He has the Sun conjunct Saturn. This is an ambitious placement. Like you say it is sextile your Sun, so you appreciate his drive. But it is also opposite your Jupiter. You are expanding, he is contracting. You want to have fun, but he won't always want to play.
Honesty or Mystery? I'll vote honesty. Even better, just be you. If he doesn't like it, it's his loss.
