However when she began college, her gemini rising finally kicked in and she became very outgoing and friendly, though she could still put people in their place. I think that the reason for her sudden transformation is that she saw talking as necessary for survival (Saturn is very practical!)

In fact, people were often surprised by her cheery disposition since she's a Scorpio. In contrast, I was a very quiet and intense Gemini Sun. People often thought we somehow switched signs when I was born!

I found the thread again and will post it below.

Before I post it: The conjunction to your NN in 3rd house - I cannot say anything substantial on that, only this: In my last important love relationship I also had an "important" NN-connection in 3rd house: It was NN conjunct the guy's Vertex (placed in my own 3rd house). I experienced this as such: All "communcative issues" were extremely important and influenced that relationship a lot - in retrospect (the relationship is over) I think I made the biggest "mistakes" and also the most interesting/challenging experiences in communicating with that guy. So I guess ... if your North Node is involved in a close conjunction with a 3rd-house-placement in Synastry ... it could mean that this "talking"-part of your relationship challenges you a lot and/or teaches you a lot.

Here's the link to the thread, and I'll copy&paste my lines from there:

What I wrote there:

I guess this is originally meant as a thread about SATURN in SYNASTRY-HOUSES – if I am right here. I find that topic quite interesting, since SATURN is claimed to be attached to “Karma” so much. I checked some Synastries from my personal archives … This is the outcome:
Serious/long lasting love affairs/relationships with men:

- his Saturn in my 4th / my Saturn in his 10th (cj. his MC)
- his Saturn in 7th / my Saturn in his 4th
- his Saturn in my 5th / my Saturn in his 10th

Platonic friendships (with men), long lasting, serious, no way “erotic”:

- his Saturn in my 3rd/my Saturn in his 11th
- his Saturn in my 3rd/my Saturn in his 8th
- his Saturn in my 4th/my Saturn in his 11th
- his Saturn in my 4th/my Saturn in his 9th
- his Saturn in my 5th/my Saturn in his 11th
- his Saturn in my 6th/my Saturn in his 2nd
- his Saturn in my 11th/my Saturn in his 12th

“Unrequited love”/one-sided affection - or volatile/complicated affairs:

- his Saturn in my 3rd/my Saturn in his 9th
- his Saturn in my 3rd/ my Saturn in his 1st
- his Saturn in my 3rd/my Saturn in his 2nd
- his Saturn in my 4th/my Saturn in his 1st
- his Saturn in my 4th/my Saturn in his 4th
- his Saturn in my 5th/my Saturn in his 3rd
- his Saturn in my 6th/my Saturn in his 5th
- his Saturn in my 12th (cj. ASC)/my Saturn in his 1st (cj ASC)

So – this small “test group” suggests three ideas, obviously:

1.) Saturn in the angular houses of your partner seems to favour serious/lasting relationships. (With Saturn in the 1st of your partner being some exception/see idea no.3.)

2.) “Platonic friendship” might be supported by Saturn in the 11th house, indeed.

3.) Saturn in 3rd house of a partner makes affairs of the heart/romantic affairs complicated and “unfriendly” from a certain point onwards – it may stifle your personal way of expressing yourself, maybe?

So does Saturn in the most personal houses of you/your partner, houses 1 and 4 (depending on the involved aspects, of course.).

If I understand that right, you BOTH have Saturn cj. NN in your respective natal charts? Don't know about this one.

As far as "teaching"/"being taught" goes ... I just want to add one (very personal, very subjective experience): In the Synastry with that man I loved it was the first time ever that my NN was exactly conjunct another person's chart-point - as I said before, it was conjunct his Vertex. (all in my 3rd house - and in his 6th) And in retrospect I really have the impression that it was me, the NN-person, who was challenged more by this conjunction. I have the feeling that I had to "give" a lot of understanding, sensitivity and patience ... that I "taught" him an important lesson by this ... and somehow that I "payed my dues" by opening up new perspectives to him. At the end, it left me drained though - I didn't get an instant "reward" for this ;-), rather feel left "high & dry" (if you can say so). In any case, my NN so directly involved, via 3rd house matters in Synastry, was an extraordinary experience and made me very aware of the pitfalls of (misguided) communication and toooooo much "understanding" for a person who might not have "deserved" it. (My NN and his Vertex are in Pisces.)

well, our NNs are both at 17 virgo, our saturns are both at 12 virgo. it's his third house involved, and my 8th or 9th (depending on house system).
