I hope this isn't redundant (my other thread didn't go anywhere unfortunately!) but I would really really really appreciate your help on this relationship! It's new, and it feels strong. I have assessed it myself, but I am so close to it all that I would love some perspective. This is a new relationship.

Both birth times are correct! And I will add my input as well. Thank you all so much!

Hi StoneMoon
the relationship looks apparently promising but full of contraddictions in the long run... There is a strong feeling of potential intimacy and committment at first sight, but with South Node/Chrion square Saturn and North Node/Uranus midpoint square Saturn things may turn out very unstable and disappointing from the long term point of view, there may be differences and different priorities in your future plans despite the passion and romance, and this may bring harsh criticism and arguments against each other... also Venus conjunct MC quincunx to Mars/Moon may show instability on the emotional side... Mars/Venus midpoint is conjunct to Vertex, this likely can bring overwhelming feelings of falling in love, it looks a bit out of control, very passionate, but Vertex can easily create illusions since such feelings may not be realistic and not supported by more earthly possibilities. Juno/Jupiter midpoint is square psyche so I wonder if there is age difference. My opinion on the Composite is that it's likely a very romantic and passionate relationship, but likely short lived or temporary. In any case, Saturn square Uranus is usually a strong break up/divorce aspect or points to great instability as for long time committment.

Stoika , thank you. Very very much. Your interpretations are always so appreciated.

I have yet to have a relationship without the Saturn Uranus troubles. And I have Uranus opposed Chiron natal, as does he, and it shows up always in my composites. It is indeed emotional and passionate and we aren’t even beyond friendship yet. It’s disheartening to think it’s short lived.

The age difference between us isn’t much but he is from a different country so maybe that’s the indication there? I don’t want yet another short term heartbreak!

You're welcome!
Natal Uranus opposite Chiron is a generational aspect and it doesn't usually have an impact on short lived relationships... Natally you have Saturn square to DSC though, this is what may give instability to your relationships, but in a way that you need to find a seriously committed situation in order to expect long term, and you also need to put efforts on your part as well for this purpose... You also have Natal Venus conjunct MC, this is another aspect showing you're devoted to serious relationships. If you often find the Saturn/Uranus issue in your relationships likely it's cause you usually meet people in the same age range of this guy ? again a generational aspect, but in the Composite chart the instable energy still can have an impact. The cultural diffirence is shown by Neptune square Venus in synastry...
I think this relationship may be worth to be explored cause there are karmic aspects, it looks very intense, I just can't say it looks long term or completely stable, there can be some unbalance and differences... If there's no big age difference, the Juno/Jupiter midpoint square psyche may signal committment issues as the two may have critical attitudes or different views about committment or their way to experience committment. At this moment transiting Nodes are square to Composite Vertex so this moment looks very fated for your meeting... with Saturn retrograde square to comp. Uranus and tr. Jupiter square to the Moon/Jupiter opposition, things look a bit like "make it or break it", so maybe your relationship will take off soon in a committed way, or it will bring break up shortly... It's a very fated situation, with these transits if it takes off it's going to be very seriously committed since the beginning... otherwise I'm not sure it's going to last too long... let me know! (within half October)

Thank you again!

I feel strongly it is indeed taking off. And I also feel it is fated. I am curious then- if it does take off, and it starts off committed from the beginning... maybe it has a chance of survival. I understand many things in life aren't permanent, and in a way I have let go of permanency, but I appreciate when there is time to enjoy and allow the relationship or event to happen.

Whenever I have these arise, I go to Tennyson

'Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.


We always risk the chance of losing. It can hurt so much, and run so deep.

But love runs just as deep or deeper, I believe.

GO GET 'EM!!! Haha. Keep us posted!!! <3

UPDATE-

We met Friday and we laid many things out on the table. We have spent the last two months talking and talking and having fun, and he said he feels attraction and desire, but also just having come out of a long term relationship, he wants to put physical aside and build a foundation first. He confirmed his interest on all levels, and that building this connection is first and foremost.

So seriously committed I don't know, but investing in the potential yes.

Stoika I really appreciate all that you do here. You have helped me several times. And this update is for you so you can see how your readings turn out.

I do know we have all progression signs of a relationship start, and draconic synastry connections. But what comes of that who knows!

Both in the Cayce work and in my consistent, long time observations, I've found that predominant Saturnians (Planetary wise, not Capricorn or Aquarius Sign wise), have a tendency (on average) to be ethically and conscience challenged. There is no single stronger highlighting condition of a Planet possible than having it closely conjunct the Asc. That means they came in direct from the dimension/consciousness level that that Planet symbolically represents, and for Saturn, it represents what could be called the temporary, lowest afterlife/nonphysical hell levels (where hardcore ASPD types get attracted to after their bodies die). These levels of consciousness are the stuff of nightmares and horror movies, as I've had dream remembrances of doing retrieval work in these levels. Bruce Moen also describes them well in his work and consciousness explorations, and these are the levels that the "hard cases" are found at. (Hard to retrieve, hard to reach).

If I was dating/involved with a predominant Saturnian, I would keep my eye on them and watch for any red flags of such issues. This is provided that the physical and spiritual birth times are relatively close and the chart is relatively accurate. It may be there is some difference and the chart is not accurate, and another Planet could be predominant.

I know this is not a popular opinion here or in most astrological circles, but I've seen it too often to ignore. There had to be some symbol in the astrological lexicon that had to represent the worst/lowest in human nature, and Saturn is often the symbol that most aligns to that for whatever reason. Again, I'm not talking about the Signs of Capricorn or Aquarius. (And Signs are more about earthly and/or personality archetypes, whereas highlighted Planets more directly connect to Soul patterns).

The Universal Saturn (i.e. Saturn for everyone) is a much more positive symbol. It represents that part of our Expanded self and the larger consciousness system that really wants us to grow spiritually and will put us through tests, challenge, stress, etc to get there. A very necessary and important archetype. I'm not talking about that Saturn here, but I'm talking of the personal Saturn, and which gets noticed when its the first or sometimes the second strongest symbol in the natal. In that case, there is no symbol that is more potentially socio to psychopathic, and remember, these types can be charming and attractive AF to our bodies and ego parts of us.

There is a very interesting Cayce reading given for a man in the military who came in straight from the dimension/consciousness level that Saturn corresponds to, and the source talks about this person's unusual and great personality magnetism, and then also lambastes them for their lack of scruples/ethics/conscience and they were warned about this and where it was leading karmically/spiritually.

These types mimic and study normal human behavior as to fit in (and the more clever and/or self controlled of them can seem quite normal, friendly, and even "nice" when they want), but they are not like us in the core ways that matter. They may as well be a different sub species, because our felt empathy and our conscience is what really makes humans, human/humane.

You have some very potent, primal sexual stuff going on with this person via the synastry (such as double very close Moon Mars conjunctions)--do not let that veil the deeper levels, and really use your gut and intuition to look more deeply into them. Your chart indicates you have a fair amount of empathy (female body, Neptune Rising, Cancer Sun, etc)--these are the types that these types most target. Its like the lack of Light within them, wants to suck out or squash the unusual Light within others. The more loving, kind, giving, innocent, pure, and/or Source connected the person, the more their pleasure at breaking and destroying them.

Well that is very dark GCE! Surely all individuals with prominent Saturn won't fit that profile. Interestingly there is another man with Saturn rising in Sag that has pursued me for years. He is nice, generous, passionate... but I am very leery of spending time with him. Mostly because he doesn't take no for an answer and will double his efforts to pursue me, despite me telling him in no uncertain terms I am not interested in a romantic relationship.

I can't say my gut tells me anything like that with this man. But then again right now I feel the physical connection quite strongly. I have spent the last several years working on myself, and I believe in "what you be, is what comes". That said, I may have to spend time in meditation on this.

Can you tell me what I would be looking for by looking deeply into them?

Yes, it is, and I'm somewhat sorry for that, but figure I should mention in case it is a possibility. As mentioned, I have come to believe in the Cayce concept of potential difference in time between physical and spiritual birth times, and that the latter is the accurate chart. Hence why I mentioned, it could be that this chart is not accurate for him, and thus he is not a predominant Saturnian.

Also, we have freewill, and that can change things as well in some cases. That's why I spoke to tendencies, averages, and the like. No one, not even the Source/prime Creator itself can, ahead of time, fully predict how a Soul/consciousness will choose to exercise its freewill. There are redemptions and changes that do and can happen, even for dark souls (otherwise, helpers like myself, wouldn't be going into these lacking in light levels during sleep state to try to retrieve such folks).

As to things to watch for, it's not easy to sum up years of reading about NPD and ASPD spectrum and people within same. I would recommend doing your own research into the subject. ASPD folks are particularly tricky because they tend to be so much more covert. A malignant narcissist like Trump can be spotted from miles away, but a subtle, covert psychopath like Hillary Clinton much harder to see for what they really are.

But common patterns with men that are on an NPD or ASPD spectrum, are a lot of love bombing at the beginning. They can seem like the most romantic, "giving", "generous", passionate men around until they get their hooks in their prey (and make no mistake, these type of men are predators and the women that fall for them are prey).

But after some initial intense love bombing, they tend to run very hot and cold. Tend to be highly materialistic--care a lot about stuff, status, money, etc. However, if they have a particular "cover" that is religious or spiritual, they will try to act the part at least in public. Often highly sexed. If they are clever and self controlled, then they are highly manipulative, but in subtle, hard to detect ways.

Watch how they treat so called less important or lower status people like people in serving positions (like wait staff etc), homeless, etc if they show arrogance, impatience, unkindness, intolerance or the like to such folks, that is a big red flag.

Highly sensitive egos, don't mind dishing out criticism (after the initial honeymoon/romance/love bombing phase), but can't take it whatsoever and easily become defensive or angry over anything even remotely resembling criticism of themselves. Can't take responsibility for anything, always someone else fault or problem.

More theoretical, but there is some research which suggests that wider than average faces (proportionally for the length of the face), can be an indicator of increased egotism and decreased empathy, conscience, etc. (Hypothesized to be related to above average levels of androgen hormones like testosterone during formative years).

Just keep your eyes fully open.

Hi StoneMoon! Thank you for the update!

Transiting Sun is conjunct to composite North Node in the 2nd house square Saturn and opposite to Chiron, while transiting Chiron is in the 7th house, so it looks like a "shy" start, but still a serious, somehow fated, start of committment or at least there's will to "work things out" in a sort of healing (Chiron) from the past, so I believe that the transits picture matches with your context... Transiting Saturn is going to be square to Composite Uranus, maybe this is why a sort of "physical" distance is felt, but this may also bring some uncertainties in the close future... transiting Jupiter is square to the Moon/Jupiter opposition, yes this suggests that the possibility for long term committment is being explored but likely not sorted out yet. moreover, transiting Neptune retrograde is conjunct to Composite DSC square to Venus/axis, this looks "lighthearted", romantic, but also giving question marks about the future... But transiting north node is heading towards Jupiter, even though still far away, it will reach comp. Jupiter next summer, so maybe things will be slow but it seems developing towards the establishment of committment. There are still question marks about the stability of this committment cause of the Saturn/Uranus-nodes t-square, so maybe this sense of instability and search for "safe" committment is a core trait of the relationship, but withthe nodes involved it looks quite karmic, so maybe there is a karma you share about past wounds and a sense of safety you both may need to gain together.

Thank you. I have been married to a narcissist (true sense) and have dated another and dated someone more along the lines of the NPD/ASPD personality.

I don’t see any of those behaviors in this new man. But narcissistic tendencies are different than the NPD/ASPD. That I know. The guy I dated was classic as you listed above. I dated him for six months and the love bombing was insane and then one day the truth came out.

This guy has a high sex drive, but that’s Mars in cap too. We haven’t had sex yet but from conversations I can tell. But he is kind and caring to others, animals, and service staff as far as I see. So, I’ll keep an eye out as you said.

Stoika, thank you! Perhaps slow and shy isn't so bad!

I just talked to him and he made a comment about us doing something next spring or summer, so it sounds like in his mind he is confident in where we are heading...

E.C. did it by looking at the "akashic records".

We can do so through more traditional means of chart rectification like through major life events in relation to transits (and to lesser extent progressions). Personally, I like to apply a very holistic approach to this, and consider everything from the above, to the person's looks/appearance, their closest relationships and synastry of same, their personality, and their deeper character.

For me, it all has to fit together, but I pay most attention to the transits/events and synastry connections since these are the least changeable all in all (personality and even deeper character can change due to freewill, and as seen on another thread, even physical influences like head or spine trauma can affect such).

I have known of some cases of people with Saturn as their strongest Planet who were probably not on the ASPD spectrum. My partner's first major boyfriend (before we met) has Leo Rising with Leo Saturn in the 1st and widely conjunct his Asc and Cancer Sun. He, reportedly, was a selfish b@stard indeed, but probably not on that spectrum. I'm pretty sure his chart is relatively accurate because of his looks and synastry with my partner.

It should be mentioned that the whole chart definitely needs to be taken into account.

Powerful Mars, Pluto, and/or Mercury will contribute to the slow vibratory side of Saturn.

Conversely, very powerful Venus, Neptune, Jupiter, and/or Sun can counterbalance a predominant Saturnian's tendency towards selfishness, base materialism, and separativeness.

Uranus strong simultaneously can go either way.

Interesting. So in his case, I feel like his Mars is strong, exalted in Cap. But he also has Venus on MC and Jupiter in 9th... so these are strong as well. His Sun is Pisces, so feminine ?...

Thanks Galactic, and no worries. I am focusing on listening to my intuition, and trying to quite my mind.

That said... here's something I was thinking about simply for educational purposes. You are noticing a potential detriment in a person's chart due to Saturn conjunct ASC. And watching other slow vibratory planets in relation to the chart. So you see his is conjunct, and he does have a strong Mars, and Moon in 3rd gives a Mercurial influence...

Well look at my chart. I have Saturn square my ASC, just as closely as his conjunction. I have a lot of Virgo, which some argue is Mercurial, though I argue Chiron. I do have Neptune in first, but that has given me more problems than help. My true Mercury is widely conjunct my Saturn, and inconjunct my Moon. And Pluto and Mars are both strong in my chart as well as his.

I am not slow vibratory, I am not narcissistic or sociopathic or psychopathic... actually my Venus at MC is pretty strong. So what makes the difference here? Is this what you mean by spiritual birth? I don't know how to line those up- spiritual vs physical birth- as you do, but I do feel my chart resonates with me.

Anyway, all interesting stuff. If you have time and want to share your perspective, I would appreciate hearing it. Take care!

I've experience someone in my life before. I also had contributed to his Saturn aspects. He was someone I see everyday and worked closely. I feel I was the only one who knew his true self, everyone seem blinded by his act of "kindness" but he only did it if there's something for him. When he discovered I cannot offered what he wanted, he turned 180 on me (it's one reason I quit my job and cut ties with him). I'm not trying to scare StoneMoon, but this was my first encounter who can be this cruel, maybe it's the fact I was closely involved with him. Even towards the elders or a friend who passed away, he wasn't nice. Based on the time he gave me, he was a Capricorn ascendant however his Saturn/Jupiter square Mars seems to amplified this trait - I'm not sure what else is at play to contribute to such behavior. And I think because his Saturn/Jupiter square my ASC and oppose my Sun in synastry, I felt the impact personally.

No, it doesn't scare me. I think I panicked a little initially, but I feel strong in my inner faith that I will know if something is wrong.

I have dated someone before that I suspect had this. He didn't know his birth time, but he came out of the gates as this amazing man, sweeping me off my feet. Over time (when he felt he had won me over) he let his true colors show. He underestimated me, and I left.

He had his friend's fooled too. They thought he was amazing. He was so condescending but knew how to play everyone. I actually don't get any of those vibes from this guy, but I am on the lookout.
