Been together since 2011, we were 16 when we first started dating we are now 24.
We’ve had our ups and downs. Recently I have felt like he is smothering me though. I feel bad that I feel that way. I feel our communication isn’t the greatest.

He is a great lover though.

Every one of your planets are conjunct save for Moon-which is sextile.

I think it could be restlessness. You were both so young.

The question is:is he a dime a dozen? Are the qualities he has to be found anywhere and everywhere?

You won't know this until you explore. Which means you may have to make a decision about your one bird in hand vs. possible "freedom" or others in the bush.

I think you may be bored. It could the Saturn/Venus double whammy that feels "stifling".

Add to that your Pluto opposite his Moon which can have him feel insecure and threatened. Like you will leave him at any point.

His Chiron also conjuncts your Moon.So this speaks of an emotional bond that ends up feeling like the "crutch" for him.

Have you felt this way for a while?

@aries
Of course all of their planets are conjuncting, they were born just days apart!

I wonder if these kind of conjunctions have the same meaning and impact, compared to people who have a more significant age gap?

@amber
You are both 24 now.. being together since you were 16! This is somehow impressive and lovely .. first real love and such. But I also think that there’s a real and important need in you to explore.

The fact that you were both born just days apart is a red flag to me, personally. You’re astrologically almost the same person ) This can be very comforting for a long time, but there’s no real opportunity for development.
It doesn’t mean that you guys aren’t meant to be. But maybe some time apart would give both of you the chance to explore other sides of your personality.

Yes, wow.. quite amazing. Also, conjunctions (even wide) are great but the sensation can feel "smothering" because there's no individuation that is occurring. The plants are competing for space.

I agree with what ana_bee says about being the same person (lol). But, still how sweet this all is?

I hope that whatever happens you preserve the friendship and stay connected in life

hi guys! Thanks for your replies. I think it has gotten a little restless. There is still so much love but not a lot of excitement. I mean The sex is great! But he’s not much of an adventurer and I am I also am kind of a loner I like to do things alone sometimes have and he doesn’t understand that I just need time to myself and with myself.
We have experienced ALOT together.
I think he is very co-dependent.. there was a time I was truly ready to be done with the relationship and focus on my own life but seeing how much it ripped him apart I did stay and I DO love him. I just do feel smothered sometimes & that’s crazy for me to say because I’m a super lovey partner !

This may be more a thing for some outside support otherwise, if not just outright counselling. Which isn't a bad thing although people can take it badly, also if things are still fine in their opinion. In my view it's more of an additional support to keep things from getting problematic. We don't know if you've been apart for studies or such, e.g., for slight individuation or separation or growth opportunities, the way you describe him especially.

I think you have your Moon antiscia his Ascendant for additional angular hits as well though so on the whole there are a lot of things supporting getting along. You the Sun trining his Moon maybe making you the more "leading" side on some things?

One of my childhood friends was born only four days after me & on top of the similar planetary placements we had antiscia hits from her DC to my Sun, e.g. She described us as more like sisters and we had lasting contact until after the birth of her second child I thought I'd give her & her partner a bit more room for a bit. Turned out that I'd always been the one to call and keep in touch at least every two weeks or so, cue disillusionment over not getting whatever I "wanted" or needed back from her in return when there was no contact from her or subsequent patching up attempts after hearing my POV on her silence. I had my Moon 2 opposite her Sun so maybe it was about my emotional needs, making for more "hurt" at "abandonment" from the Sun (despite having the same aspect myself) once a reality.

So while the contact lasts it is likely to be good & close, but I can't say if two to an extent fairly similar people will retain contact if it somehow breaks. I was a Leo & she Virgo, looking at your Suns in different signs in a similar fashion. I would imagine Libra to be more social of the two, as suggested by you as well.

Sex life isn't a problem like with many long-term couples so maybe it's more just the relative youth & convincing him that outside views or help in relating is a neutrally good thing that boosts the chances of you staying with him or gives tools in general, if that important to someone with his personality. Tips for longevity or relating coming from a neutral third party can be received better than from a partner if communication styles are stuck in their grooves, so to speak. Alone time or separate activities are always needed in relationships but to help him approach the idea in a non-threatening fashion to keep from making for more "clinging" at attempts for slight separation even while choosing to be with someone, the "by choice" always mattering, well, you see what I mean I'm sure.
