PLEASE prove me wrong and post back on here in a few days that this guy called, asked you out, told you he'd like you for a really long time, and you guys made out, and you are both really into each other and you feel happy and excited. My Leo heart doesn't like disappointing endings to crush stories.

From his end, your Venus lands in his 1st house, which is a very magnetic placement. Your sun in his 11th is excellent for enduring friendship.

Sun trine sun is always nice for sharing similar characteristics and interests. Moon trine Mars is sexy and creates a nice yin/yang energy flow, where you complement each other.

However... I would proceed with caution here. You have a Venus/Neptune double whammy here, with your Neptune trine his Venus (the only major aspect his Venus makes to your planets) AND his Neptune conjunct your Venus and Uranus (the only major aspect *your* Venus makes to *his* planets). As a result, the theme of the attraction is extremely Neptunian -- soft, idealistic, romantic, and possibly based more on imagination than reality. Make sure you're seeing him for who he really is, and not just projecting an image of your ideal lover onto him. If both of you run away with your imaginations here, there's the potential for some heartbreak later on when Neptune's fog dissolves and reality emerges.

The good news is, if you are both able to keep your feet on the ground, the Venus/Neptune aspects can bring a very spiritual, ethereal love connection. It can seem almost dream-like when you're together. Honestly, I think a little idealism is fine as long as it supplements reality rather than interfering with it.

Other points of concern are the opposition between his Mars and your sun/Pluto. In stubborn fixed signs, no less. Power struggles galore. The attraction is intense, but there's a sort of stop/go action where you find yourself competing against each other, or trying to control one another, instead of working smoothly as a team. There can be extreme love and passion, and just as quickly, extreme pain and obsession.

Your Saturn and Mercury opposition his moon can incline him to view you as cold or authoritative. Even if it's all subconscious, he might feel like you don't approve of his emotional side, and so he might "close off" and not share everything with you -- out of fear of disapproval or criticism.

Your Mars opposes his Saturn, and this is one of the more
difficult aspects to have in synastry, even though it does tend to bring longevity to a relationship (with a "can't live with you, can't live without you" sentiment). Eventually, you could feel like he's trying to be an authority figure, as if he has the upper hand and is trying to stifle your enthusiasm and ambition -- and as a result you want fiercely to rebel. This is usually a dynamic that appears over time, and isn't obvious at first.

Overall... some good things mixed in with some challenges. Try posting the composite as well. Don't be discouraged by the tough aspects here, because synastry is what you make of it -- no aspects are bad enough to end a relationship if both people are committed to making it work. You'd probably have a lot of fun with this guy if it does turn into a relationship, despite the difficulties. Good luck
