I have Saturn in the 7th and in conjunction to the ruler of the 7th(Venus). And so the effect is very similar.

Making the most of this aspect would have to mean that you allow yourself to open up just a little bit more with people each time and allow them in.

You should read "How to win friends and influencing people" by Dale Carnegie.

I can't help feeling that this Sun-Pluto opposition,Mercury in Scorpio,Capricorn Venus,Saturn in Leo and Chiron-Venus in opposition,knew something about the challenges of being an introverted person in a world that requires interaction.

Naturally his draconic Mars on the point of Libra 1 Deg made him put a lot of energy and effort in perfecting the art of diplomacy and social interaction.

So adept he got at it that he wrote an amazing book that I read when I was an awkward teen and re-read a couple of years back.

Coming from a Venus-Saturn conjunct myself, I say that it can help...

Depends on what else is in the chart. Astrology works in aggregate, not in parts and pieces. One chart with Saturn near DC may indicate a quick life tempo (full of fire, etc). Other charts may be earthier, slower so that the time factor of Saturnine gets more pronounced.

Asc opposite Saturn indicates 'serious' or challenged relationships, in which the Saturnine energy may be pursued in any of a number of ways, but certainly not in a flippant or superficial approach to relationships that is entirely un-Saturnine.

In many cases I believe it indicates someone who needs to be more choosy in partnering than they have in past lifetimes.

Saturn in such a chart leads some to be more formal in relating to others, more comfortable with conventions, less so with a personable or spontaneous approach. They don't mind standing on ceremony. They tend to look for what lasts and not what is warm or easy at first.

Your second question is best answered with the word 'time.' Yes, it is important for such a person to be proactive, as it is for anyone, but patience - 'waiting' - is an unavoidable theme for most such Saturnine persons. It is also common for some persons to attract a Saturnine mate, even if they themselves don't seem that way.
