I don’t know whether hard Saturn aspects function like glue or if they simply prevent people from making any connection at all.
Even if they are glue-y, it’ll certainly be a difficult permanence.
We all need difficult aspects in our relationships to make them worthwhile – what’s the use of a relationship that is stagnant and pink? But what would bother me more about that chart would be the Neptune in the 7th house (even though Saturn could be hard too) – I had that Neptune with a guy and it was simply…impossible.
And I had Pluto in the 5th too (coincidence!). It was pretty intense, in good and bad moments.

There is definitely glue, a fixed grand cross, fixed signs on angles, Saturn in the grand cross. That’s a lot of glue. But to what end? Mars square Venus–there may be physical attraction but is there compatibility? Mars conjunct Jupiter square the Moon, a lot of irritation, bickering, arguing, Moon rules the 3rd and it’s in the 4th, emotional arguments, huge blow-ups. And ego, Mars & Jupiter in the 1st, Moon in Leo. Will they ever compromise, make a concession? Forgive? Potential for deception, Neptune squares the Moon–it’s wide and out-of-sign, but the Saturn-Neptune conjunction pulls it in, so deception, and maybe rose-colored glasses and sweeping it all under the rug when it “blows over.” Pluto is well-aspected, in the 5th, trine Mercury, the ruler of the 5th, transformation of the ego? There’s so much energy and it’s in cardinal houses. If they work on something together, transcend their own egos, and work on a creative project that benefits other people, they could accomplish a lot. But if they just focus on each other, they’ll eat each other alive.

I mean, the whole Staurn question is one that I STILL can’t get down.

Every time it’s the same. Either something unshakeable and eternal or somethign that’ll never happen at all…

Two other charts come to mind when I see this. One was a chart with three t-squares on two grand trines. Hardly any planets were free of those interactions. The relationship lasted 4 years with two times the man cheated on the woman.

The other chart that comes to mind is a grand cross composite chart with a few t-squares floating out there. That couple has had an 8+ year relationship. The woman has been married to two other men during that time.

So there is a potential for being tied together.. but oh how.

I am coming to the conclusion that harsh saturn aspects are actually softened by age. What might have been a harsh saturn/mars interaction that would have ended the relationship for someone in their twenties actually adds some spice to a relationship for someone in their fifties.

I usually don’t comment on composite charts without seeing the individual charts and knowing at least a little about the situation and/or couple…just not enough information for me to reply intelligently.

But I can’t help saying that I don’t think you can say anything is either disaster or hard-aspect glue. It’s energy that can be worked with conscious choice at any point along the continuum. This composite chart obviously is charged, but that could make it an incredible experience, or a disaster….I think that’s where free will free choice comes in.

You could say that staying very conscious in this relationship would probably be important. If it goes bad, it’s likely to go worse than the average might, but the potential is also greater.

If I had to make a past life guess, it would be that there was some form of traumatic separation because of persecution, which will automatically create the underlying need for both extreme security and worry that the relationship could end again, which would cause a need to go very deep and be very idealistic, but also make it hard to dive into the emotional needs for love on a deep level, flip flopping between that and “staying cool”. There’s obviously a lot of passion and a draw towards relationship again, to bring back into form what was lost so abruptly the first last time around.

With no real information, this could be way off track, but I though I would throw it out there….

well… it can’t be a disaster. pluto and uranus are both well aspected. settle for a [lifelong] war?

Busted: I’m only speaking from that experience I had, which made me very cautious about Neptune – because of the delusion and the disappointment. But I guess, in this case, since the hard aspect are with Venus and Jupiter it shouldn’t be so bad. Plus the conjunction with Saturn will probably keep the relationship more grounded and realistic.
I’m sorry, I may have over-reacted about that Neptune – it’s almost a conditioned reflex “oh no! Neptune in the 7th!” lol

How is the Synastry? I find that many times it is very different from the Composite, almost opposite.

hi,
having a saturn rel can b really frustating….cuz u cant be wt each other n u cant stay away from each other.u feel trapped.
it can b 4 d good or bad, but u really cant escape it, unless u move town.
