The question: Will he finally ask me out? (not asking this time if it is significant etc... but am asking if he'll find the courage--he is very shy on love matters--to ask me out. It is like I know he wants to as well as others that see us together)

Birth information of the question:

Your other chart also had Saturn in the 7th, another impediment for reading the chart. It usually means an astrologer doesn't see the answer clearly and that you probably know it (but you doubt and ask in confirmation because you sense there are obstacles).

I'm too lazy right now to post the chart. I just woke up, it's 3 am and I can't go to sleep right away, but I did take a look at the chart.
You're Saturn in Libra in the 9th, exalted, it speaks of inner excitement. He's Moon in Aries in the 2nd house, at the Aries Point. He just took some sort of change within himself. Aries being an action oriented sign, I say he doesn't lack the courage to ask you out. The problems I see are these:
-he is in your fall, meaning either he doesn't like you as much as you think he does or doesn't like you the way you'd want. Your significator falls in his 3rd house, not a very romantic house, you're probably not someone he considers a potential partner. Or there's something about you he resents/dislikes and this is holding him back.
-his significator is in an applying conjunction to Uranus, sugesting he's rather unstable right now and something will probably change in his attitude, something shocking, surprising, something you don't see coming. He's also applying to square Pluto and Mars and later on he will apply for an opposition with you (from your fall - it doesn't look very positive). He probably has other worries and concerns, other things stressing him out.
-there might be other romantic interests... There are 3 planets in his house... Sun, Venus and Mercury, all of which are very powerful and have means of action. Sun is in domicile and angular, Venus and Mercury are cazimi, though Mercury is retro. Venus might be another significator for you, but again this is not a good sign, because he's also in the sign of detriment for Venus (he doesn't like you as a woman, either). He does like Sun, though, being in Sun's exaltation and triplicity. I don't know who Sun is, but it's someone he's very fond of.

Sun could be another significator for him, as well. But there are no aspects between Sun and Saturn. And again, the Sun is in your detriment. There's something about you he dislikes and this is why he doesn't make a move. If we consider you Venus, Venus is separating from the Sun... so again I don't see anything all that positive to say.

Mercury is your 5th house ruler and it's retro. Since you asked about him asking you out... if there's any chance of him doing so, it would be after a while, when Mercury turns direct and conjuncts Sun all over again. Also the opposition between your significators, which is not even in orb yet (13 degrees) and happens after he would square two other planets and conjunct a third, suggests things or other people are getting in the way and if you are getting your wish, it will take a while...

I'm sorry I wasn't more positive. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come and bring you better news. But hey, keep positive thoughts and if nothing comes out of this, it means it wasn't right for you and someone better will come along.

I'm really not that experienced with horary charts. I've only recently learned the basics about it.
But from what I can see, it looks like the answer is yes. I think he just needs to feel more comfortable with you... more... at home, maybe.

Hey... we'll see what happens.

I was thinking, after I posted my reply to you, that the first chart probably holds the answer. I feel tempted to ask more specifically too, in the hope that a clear answer will come to me. But truth be told, the first chart is the valid one. I will take a look at it again, now I must go back to sleep.

@snake lady since Hera posted their explanation of the reading, I would be interested in you posting why you concluded yes. I ask because it is different news than Hera's and I always like to look at things from all angles (not that I'm saying Hera is wrong).

Hera's reading is hard to swallow for me, not so much because of my desire but more so because of the displays that come from him. He has on more than one occassion made strong displays of affection and even attraction but then pulls back. He is a cancer btw and so I usually attribute that to his 'crab dance.'

I sensed that he may just be insecure about something and that's what is holding him back from making a move... And then it popped into my head that he is probably a Cancer.

I'm a Cancer too, by the way, so I understand the need to feel competent before entering into a relationship with someone I really like... He needs to feel more at home with himself. Making money would definitely contribute to that, since Cancers love money. Hehe. But we tend to have low self-esteem and most of the time only we can prove ourselves to ourselves, if you know what I mean. But timely reassurance is also reaaally welcome.
