I try to look for overlap, if it doesn't overlap then I don't believe it.

It's all interpretation and that's important to remember.
There's a LOT going on and at no time in the history of people has anyone been able to isolate an aspect, truly. It's always a part of something much greater, bigger. The birth chart, a person.
So astrology itself must have been from finding "themes" within people who shared aspects but it's always going to manifest a little differently because of the birth chart and person that it's a part of. You'll never get that true, absolute purity of aspects.
So when my chart is read, I watch for themes. The more detailed that an astrologer gets, I make note but give it a little less weight. No disrespect to them. It's like trying to pick ingredients out of a dessert, describe what they taste like when no one has EVER had ANY of the ingredients by themselves.
Don't get me wrong. I love diving into details and I think that's when, and why astrology amazes us.
But I also try to stay realistic if I can.

All of which can be explained by, yes, looking at your charts; but basing whether or not to have a FRIENDSHIP with someone long distance over astrology is preposterous. If you get along and like each other, continue being friends. If not, end it. It's really that simple.

Even the "best" charts with a majority of easy aspects can represent a relationship that doesn't last. I have one of those as an example myself. So in turn, a chart with seemingly difficult aspects doesn't mean you can't have a relationship. My best friend and I have Sun square Moon and have been friends for almost 20 years. I wasn't aware of that Sun/Moon square until 13 years into our friendship. But if I go off the charts we shouldn't be able to be friends and I should have just ended it almost 7 years ago. Well now, that doesn't seem logical does it?

Trust what you know, which is how you feel. If you like him, be his friend.

Also, the most important aspect in regards to chart reading is to know yourself[your own chart] first. If you are unfamiliar with it, others reading it will give you what you do or don't know and that can be tricky.

You and other(s) must also be somewhat evolved/mature for charts to blend together.

Since you've also mentioned other things like feelings such as long distance, why he acts in ways that you don't like, etc... Look to your own chart of why you answer and put up with it.

Cheers.

I'm not sure why two people couldn't be friends just because they don't live near each other. I do plan on going to see him again maybe next month sometime. I also have Venus in Pisces which tends to make me attracted to people who have issues etc. I do have quite a few Neptune aspects in my chart as well. I just wish we could get along but as you said both people have to be evolved. He has Venus sextile Saturn and I know with the aspect those people usually don't give up on relationships too easily. For me sometimes I feel like one day we may argue and I might just be done for good. That's probably my Venus square Saturn talking lol.

I agree that dates matter, also for example since astrology matters to me in this regard, if I care enough to pull up a chart for whatever reason, I'd assume I'm close enough to said person to know their birth details - all of them. Sounds creepy, but whatev.
