Yet I'm already in a relationship. I've loved him ever since our eyes first met at University, and it's been growing ever since. Nothing ever cane out of it because he was in a relationship, then I got into one whilst he was single, then he got into another one, whilst I became single! But we get on so well, and it's the fact my heart fluttered the moment I saw him that really gets me, that is the stuff of fairytales, of Twilight movies, and it's actually happened to me.. in real life. With just this one person ever.

We've been friends for 5 years now, yet everytime we talk which is usually every week, we instantly put each other in a good mood. We argue in a way that is so comfortable, where we talk it out and tell each other how much we care about each other, that it doesn't even feel like an argument. We make each other laugh, we renember little tidbits each other has said, we comment on how much we love each others certain quirks. It's the attention to these little things that consumes me with love for him. He makes me feel a way no one else has ever had.

Yet we're both with someone else, and we both love the other person inmensely. But I just can't look past how he makes me feel... What should I do?

Here is our composite chart

and our synastry chart

Love finds a way.

Your story is hardly unbelievable to me. It happens. Stories all come from somewhere; faerie-tales originate from some place; some state of feeling or experience. Though -- good heavens, I'd hope you'd not think of Twilight when you think of true love! While I can see how there's a relationship to the feeling of 'being in love', there's so much about that story that's flat-out ridiculous, it's hardly a model upon which to base an understanding of anything.

But, returning to your actual experience here, I suppose I'll have to ask; even as I know you're quite young, to have a solid, close friendship that continues on for years despite being in relationships with other people -- is often a good enough basis to be certain you're not making a mistake being with other people. Now, in some cases, there's karma to sort out and what-not, but in others ... it's an indication you may be happier in another relationship.

No one's married with kids, so you've both got the means to sort things out accordingly, rather than be stuck in a more troubled situation.

If you ask me, the worst thing you can do is be in love with someone else while involved with another. It isn't fair to either in the situation, and is most often resolved by changing your circumstances.

Have the two of you talked openly, honestly, and straightforward about your feelings for one another? That's not being unfaithful -- that's being real. And, should you both decide that, were circumstances different, you would have pursued a relationship, now you have to question whether or not it's worth it to both of you to do so -- which means the uncomfortable business about coming clean with your partner (and he doing the same with his) and deciding where to go from there.

Not to mention, there's always polyamory as a workable solution. If you're in love with your best friend and your boyfriend, you may actually be capable of it. However, if you're only in love with your best friend, and haven't been in love with your boyfriend for a while ... monogamy is more likely your basic orientation.

Just some things to consider. I've been there, and I'm also a therapist. So, I have some unusual experience in this particular area.

Ah the dreaded Venus/Uranus DW of We Have Such Potent Chemistry But The Timing Is Never Quite Right. Venus conjunct Uranus and Venus trine Uranus. You guys are not terribly Uranian enough on your own to make this energy work which might explain why it has yet to happen when all signs seemingly point to "yes"

Person in blue has Venus conj Pluto and Moon conj South Node natally. Do they often have troublesome relationships with others? Do they often project feelings intensely which turn out to never be in their best interest?

I don't know what the hell it is about Uranus leading to immediate, electric chemistry. I find that so weird - like why *that* planet and not Neptune, or say, Pluto? But I guess it makes sense. You want psychic dreaminess and an immediate sense of home? Neptune. You want to feel your cheeks burn with desire and experience a full body rush of sexual hunger and psychological obsession? Pluto. You want to immediately be zapped to a stand-attention-military pose because this strangers energy has suddenly caught your eye? Uranus.

I'm very Uranian/Aquarian natally and in synastry I have Uranus conj Venus/Uranus opp. Venus with someone. The second I first laid eyes on him - I wouldn't call it "love at first sight" - I couldn't help but be completely fascinated. I couldn't take my eyes off of him and soak in his presence. Really weird. Later, when we would meet again several years in the present and it was he who couldn't keep his eyes off of me. But the timing wasn't right - it was never right. He had a girlfriend, I had a boyfriend. We have potent chemistry, almost kissed, stopped ourselves. He broke up with his girlfriend. I considered breaking up with my boyfriend over this. Very strange. It's like this electromagnetic field that pulls you into its sphere but the second you're about to make physical contact, the universe immediately sends you spiraling in the opposite direction. I'm so curious to hear if there are any long-standing couples with this aspect because I really do feel it's one of those Karmic But Never Meant To Be aspects that one can't fight against

My boyfriend and I, actually.

VENUS square URANUS (0°)
URANUS conjunct VENUS (9°)

Why count the second, right? I do so merely for the symbolism of the dual-aspect. Not to mention with URANUS rising on our composite, 0° conjunct ASC. It could be his URA in my 1H which adds to the effect, or the exactitude of the square.

I do believe it's troublesome if you're not exhibiting very Uranian traits, or the relationship isn't very Uranian in nature. Then the two might always be struggling to 'sync up', as you'd mentioned. That, or one of you could be bold enough to refuse to allow obstacles to stand in your way. But few are truly so brazen.

We are.

You'll always be in each others lives.
I mean Sun trine Sun, Sun square Saturn...

It has already been mentioned you two have aspects for attraction. You're the one that need to decide if it's worth pursuing.

I see you two have a very special friendship. You already have a treasure there.

Well, maybe you'd like to post a synastry chart between you and your boyfriend. That would be interesting
