there is an 11 year age difference. once i read it phrased that saturn contacts in synastry is where the other person, or the relationship, challenges you to grow up.

so saturn conjunct the descendant would challenge you to grow up in relating/relationships.

I was going to die of suffocation and I was the DSC.

Saturn will often try to compensate for the significant triggering going on by compelling (or bullying) the angle person to conform to what they imagine (with their reptilian Saturn brain ) would give a feeling of correctness and security. The angle person, ironically, already more or less innately knows how to do this thing, though maybe they could use a few tune ups and prods in the absolutely most fastidious possible direction... especially when a conjunction is being made to the descendant, they are learning to moderate their response to the other through Saturn... but often it is the angle person, in fact, who is very much showing Saturn how to manage their fears and become the fully fledged responsible being they need to be, one who has faced those fears and their darkness... thanks to that angle person, who forces Saturn to see it very clearly and without pretense, because they are Living it (the sign energy and degree where we find Saturn in the other chart, that is) in a more essential way.. and Saturn actually comes out that much wiser and more grounded and committed. They are ultimately comforted by choose contacts to the angles and luminaries, because what they feel all awkward and cold and hard about is being expressed more warmly usually by the other party. So it helps Saturn relax.

Saturn on any angle in synastry is very serious business, for both parties. The Saturn person's insecurities are brought to the fore by the behaviour/ interactions/family life/career of the angle person... it's especially potent when it is a conjunction to the Asc-Desc axis, because jest their being themselves and interacting with Saturn it's enough to trigger all their Saturn issues, which differ by sign and house placement and natal aspect patterns of course.

This is why you see Saturn aspecting the angles and luminaries, at least this is part of the reason Saturn acts as such formidable relationship "glue"; the transformations wrought in the concrete actions and beingness of both parties, over the course of time spent together, become an irrevocable and usually quite valuable (if hard won) thread between them, which is sustained and bolstered and built upon the longer they knew each other. Once you've begun this work with somebody it often makes little sense to just leave off and find another person and start all over with the insecurities etc again... if the initial phase of the relationship shows there to be truly enough love and compassion and tenderness (a must for a romantic relationship with many hard Saturn combinations to be happy, in my.opinion) in between and shot through those stark phases of cold hard Reality, then the relationship deepens and widens and the boundaries of each person begin to take a more definite--and more responsible!-- shape and form.
