Dear John,
I enjoyed our talk the other day. I have completed a written report to summarize a lot of what we covered. Refer to the audiotape and the information below when you want to reflect on our discussion.
I would really like to encourage you to work with The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. Please take a look at the book and buy it if it seems like you would be interested in creating a kind of home study course in yourself. I believe you are very sensitive and creative. You will really open up some doors for yourself if you hang around some people outside of the business world. Congratulations on doing well for yourself in that world, but please consider challenging yourself to grow in a more creative aspect. I'm not saying to give anything up, but make room for the creativity which is so strongly shown in your chart.
Also, I believe I can forsee a lot of changes for you in about 5 or 6 years- where you finally achieve a stronger sense of personal power and self worth. I think you will enjoy being around people who are more intuitive, sensitive and perceptive of the subtler realms in life. Please check out some dance performances, comedy, art shows etc. Make time for the artist's date that Cameron writes about. I think it will help you meet people who are more appreciative of you as well as help you unlock some hidden talents of your own.
The attached Word Document has the following:
Natal Chart Data, Natal Chart Interpretation, Forecast- 6 months, Synastry- comparison with Mary Smith. As i state in my pamphlet, I freely quote from some great astrologers and add my own twist. I hope you enjoy it.
Good luck and contact me again in the future.
Thanks,
Michael Shea

Personal Portrait
for John Doe, born on 25 September 1979
Text by Robert Pelletier
Sun in Libra, Moon in Scorpio Ascendant in Sagittarius, Jupiter in the Eighth House * Sun in the Ninth House * Venus in the Ninth House * Saturn in the Ninth House * Moon in the Eleventh House
Sun in Libra, Moon in Scorpio
These astrological positions indicate a clever and shrewd personality. You tend to be aggressive and are often downright blasphemous. When crossed you wreak revenge in full measure. You relish displaying your wit and knowledge and make a point of telling others of your various successes and victories. These shows of your achievement, however, are to your detriment because they earn you the ill will of others. You lean toward the darker sides of life, and your imagination can be morbid. You are fascinated by the mysterious, malignant forces in the universe. A nocturnal individual, your thoughts often turn to death, finalities, and the mysteries of life after death.
The key to a more harmonious self lies in developing optimism and recognizing the good that exists in the world.
Ascendant in Sagittarius, Jupiter in the Eighth House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Sagittarius was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Jupiter is located in the eighth house.
Sagittarius rising denotes lives which are very dualistic; situations come and go as if divided into two sides - success and failure.
If you are able to raise the interests of your mind from common and trivial things to more profound subjects, your intellect will become very philosophical and attracted by law and peace, and it will be more intuitive than rational. In any case your life will be colored by impulsive and rather stubborn tendencies on your part, creating some inclination to go to extremes,
During the course of your existence you must try to develop intuition and human understanding so that you may be in a position to assist other people with your advice.
Sagittarius gives you a rather strong love of nature and makes you somewhat extroverted, demonstrative and passionate, falling in love frequently and without reservations. You are an intellectual, an intelligent person who has been fortunate enough to be granted also a good development of the emotional functions.
Your romantic life will be intense and varied. Your object of love may find you difficult to understand. In one aspect you will appear as passionate and energetic but because of the mutability of the sign you will also have an opposite tendency that will lead you away from involvement in the love affair and the latter impulse will be caused by a more inner trait, which is personal freedom.
Generally speaking, the sign of Sagittarius will incline you to exist in environments in which your physical body, emotions and thoughts are allowed total freedom for development. On a higher intellectual level you may find yourself inclined to dwell in the deep complexities of philosophy, metaphysics, religion and law. You are versatile enough to study more than one discipline simultaneously not forgetting to keep your body in physical movement, since you require both intellectual and physical exercise.
This condition of Jupiter could be an indication of longevity and the maintenance of your intellectual and psychological faculties throughout life. Business activities derived from marriage or affected jointly with your marital partner will be very successful and there is also a possibility of inheriting large quantities of money from the death of an older relative.
Sun in the Ninth House
The Sun, the giver of light and energy throughout the solar system, was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. This is an indication that your real self possesses an attraction to higher levels of thought. Additionally, this indicates that the most important realizations may come through the process of pure reasoning.
You will tend to grow through the workings of your higher mind where you may find, after much striving, the creative principle and the power of self-expression.
You possess a rather austere mind which is fearless, self-confident and keenly analytical.
Regarding life events, you will be inclined to obtain success in subjects connected with law, religion, and possibly foreign lands.
Venus in the Ninth House
Venus, the planet that symbolizes universal love, was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. Your mind appears as very adaptable, gentle, peace-loving and tactful. This position indicates that the secret for your ability to reach a state of harmony and emotional balance may come through the use of your higher mental powers. You have been born with an exquisitely refined, artistic mind which has a very subtle appreciation of all that has to do with culture. Your disposition is kind, congenial, gentle and sympathetic and you have a natural ability to assist other individuals.
This position gives you much social intercourse with intellectual persons and success derived therefrom.
Merely minor disabilities will affect you in your intellectual endeavors. The worst that could happen would be an overly inquisitive, indecisive nature that never seems to be satisfied. However, you have within you the ability to avoid these psychological obstacles.
Saturn in the Ninth House
Saturn, the ruler of destiny, was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. This indicates that your concern over the impermanence of all things will urge you to restrict your personality traits and assume a position of caution and planning before pursuing any important matter.
In a practical sense, your attitude to all higher intellectual functions is that of a studious, serious, and meditative person. You must, however, be attentive to the possible presence of several negative elements in your intellectual make-up such as depression, fear, and severity.
Moon in the Eleventh House
The Moon, Earth's satellite, was found in the eleventh house at the time of your birth. You should be an individual with many friends and acquaintances, both from within and without your home and domestic circle. You are a person who can make friends in the highest social categories as well as with persons of an inferior status.
This position may also increase the possibilities of having a satisfactory family life and a very congenial domestic aspect with the potentiality of easily fraternizing with other people.

========================
Neptune trine Venus: Mystical love
26 February 2002 until 1 August 2002: This influence will stimulate your romantic imagination considerably. This may lead you to an unusually romantic relationship with someone, or it may arouse creative talents that you were not even aware of. The symbol of this influence is the beautiful dream or illusion. Even though it is an illusion, you have the ability now to make it real if you recognize that you must work to make any dream real.
If this influence does bring about a love relationship, it will probably be more romantic and idealized than any you have ever experienced. It will seem like a perfect soul union between the two of you, the realization of your most perfect ideal. However, there is the danger of overidealization.
You will eventually learn to see your partner's flaws, but this relationship should broaden your understanding of people to the point that you can accept the inevitable flaws. This influence probably will not produce great disappointment in relationships. In fact, under this influence you will be more compassionate and understanding of your lover, almost as if you and your love were one and her problems are yours too. This sense of oneness is based on a deep spiritual truth that you can recognize more easily now, that we are all one. Under this influence you are much more sensitive to the mystical aspects of love. You may not encounter an ideal love under this influence, of course, but even so you will display much more sensitivity in your relationships and understanding of other people.
If you have any intrinsic creative abilities, this influence will stimulate them tremendously. This is an excellent time to begin the study of an art or craft. But this influence is most favorable to the pure arts, those whose sole objective is the creation of beautiful images as opposed to useful art objects. Even if you are not artistic, your ability to perceive beauty in the world around you will be enormously heightened, and you will be much more sensitive to the spirit of life that animates everything in the world.
Saturn trine Venus: It can happen now
20 March 2002 until 13 April 2002: This is an excellent time for you to achieve real stability in your relationships. Your individual personal needs will not conflict with the demands of the relationship, and you can base them on a realistic understanding of who you are and what others need from you. Your vision is clear, and you are not likely to enter a relationship under the spell of romantic illusions. If you are romantically inclined, in fact, your relationships may seem rather practical and dull now. However, you can use this kind of experience. A relationship should be an encounter between yourself and another individual that helps you define and understand yourself more clearly. That can happen now.
Sometime in the last few years many relationships that were inappropriate for your life were weeded out. That process may have been quite painful, but it was necessary at the time. Now, however, the only relationships left are those that have real value in your life. You should be working on them to improve your understanding of yourself and how you relate to others. This is a time for growth relationships that expand your awareness. For this reason, you may have a relationship in which there is a considerable age difference between you and your partner. The one who is "older and wiser" may act as a guide, exposing the other, through the dynamics of the relationship, to a larger and more realistic view of the world.
Also this influence favors most business and professional relationships, because you now are able to negotiate on the basis of your real needs and self-understanding while appreciating the other person's real needs. And since you understand the need for realism in relationships, whatever you decide on at this time will be mutually profitable.
Creativity under this influence is not stimulated or checked, but it does have greater discipline and rigor. You may be attracted to difficult and exacting techniques or involved in particularly painstaking craft forms. Anything that you make now is likely to be practical or useful.
Saturn trine Mercury: Mental discipline
7 April 2002 until 26 April 2002: During this time your mind, point of view and styles of thinking and communicating have reached a point of stability. You are quite secure in them, for you know how and what you think about most things. This is not a time of change but of preparing to use your mind. Consequently it is an excellent time for any task requiring mental discipline and hard work, such as study, schooling or learning any new mental discipline. It is not a very good time for work requiring great inspiration, intuitive insight and creativity. You will get results through hard work and scholarly methods, not through "divinely" inspired insight.
This influence favors planning and organization of various aspects of your life. You have a definite sense of order in mind, which you can make manifest in your life. This is a good time to put your ideas into practice on the material level and to carry out long-standing plans. If you have planned a project, such as building up a new business or starting a new organization, this is a good time to do it.
With this influence there is a danger that you will let your ideas and opinions become too rigid. It is important that your ideas acquire definite form and stability at this time, because in the future they will be challenged very strongly. You must be reasonably definite and sure of yourself in order to withstand the challenges. But rigidity will only make those times worse, because your thinking will have to be flexible, no matter how certain you are now that you are right.
At this time you have an unusual ability to see every intricate piece of a whole, and your position on most matters is very clear. Consequently your critical ability is greater than usual, and you can see instantly what is wrong in any situation. Just don't let this degenerate into nit-picking.
Neptune trine Mercury: Intellect and intuition
11 May 2002 until 16 May 2002: This is one of the most imaginative periods of your life in a positive way. Your mind will be able to create with unusual facility, but you will still be able to distinguish between reality and the products of your imagination. If you have ever wanted to write prose or poetry, this is the time to try, although success in this area requires some indication of writing ability in the birth chart.
This influence signifies one of the few times in life when the rational intellect and the intuitive and feeling functions are able to work as a team. For most people these two areas of the mind usually operate at cross-purposes. But now they can cooperate, which is what makes this such a fertile time.
Fortunately, the intuitive sensitivity stimulated by this influence extends to your relationships with others. You understand what people are thinking with much less verbal communication than usual, almost as if you can look into their minds and see what is happening there. Consequently your efforts to communicate with others will be much more effective now. Others will understand and appreciate the fact that you understand them.
You are likely to take an intellectual interest in metaphysical and spiritual subjects at this time, and your innate psychic abilities may be manifested. But your approach to these subjects is a bit different from most people's. You demand that spiritual matters make sense to you intellectually as well as intuitively. You want to know, not merely to believe. But your newly intuitive sensibility tells you that there are limits to understanding through rational intellect. Your understanding of almost any subject is greatly heightened by this influence.
If you are involved in any kind of teaching, this influence will be an invaluable aid. You will be able to communicate what you know in such a way that others really understand the subject and also your experience of it.
Saturn opposition Neptune: Disorientation
29 May 2002 until 13 June 2002: This is a time of extreme inner conflict, which can severely undermine your effectiveness with others. You will become extremely self-critical and uncertain about the ideals by which you structure your life, as well as about the structure itself.
You make very great demands upon yourself, and you feel you must live up to them. But they are very far removed from what you should realistically expect. You will almost certainly fail to live up to these ideals, so you will be acutely disappointed in yourself. Your self-condemnation is unjustified but very convincing at this time.
Guilt, remorse for alleged "past sins," feelings of unfulfilled responsibilities, depression and self doubt are all characteristic of this time. But you must remember that everything seems worse than it really is. Sometimes you have an irrational sense of fear or apprehension, when your world seems to be populated by ghosts that haunt you. Illusion is indistinguishable from reality. Clearly this can be one of the most difficult of all influences.
Actually your ideas about the world are being changed, and the first step is a process of disintegration that leaves you feeling extremely disoriented.
If you can, it would be a good idea to go into some kind of retreat or at least try to minimize the demands of the everyday world for awhile. And as you simplify your life in this way, concentrate on the very concrete aspects of reality. Don't involve yourself in abstractions, for you can become lost in them. Deal with everything on a very mundane, practical level, until your sense of equilibrium begins to return. This is not a particularly good time to study the occult or psychic disciplines unless past study has given you a strong sense of proportion in these matters.
Saturn trine Pluto: Extremely useful
2 June 2002 until 17 June 2002: This influence gives you the ability to see deeply into yourself and find out what creative forces are at work. At the same time it lets you take advantage of that understanding and make use of it in your daily life. You are able to move forward in your work and other areas of life to fulfill your ambitions. You can work harder now than at almost any other time in your life, because your energies operate in a controlled and almost relentless manner.
You will be greatly concerned with your innermost self at this time. Therefore it is a good time to undergo psychotherapy or some other consciousness-raising technique, if you feel that it would benefit you. Disciplines involving self-understanding and regeneration, such as yoga or meditation, are particularly effective under this influence.
Professionally you will be able to advance in your field because you can work harder and more effectively and because others are impressed by your effectiveness. You assert yourself in such a way that others realize that you are not to be trifled with. They take you and your efforts seriously. Nevertheless the energies of this influence are not likely to arouse great opposition. Others are willing to work with you, because they feel that you can get the job done.
The effects of this influence are subtle but not weak. Do not look for specific events now, for the strongest effects are on the psychological level. You will simply notice that you are more effective and can make a greater impact. This can be an extremely useful influence.
Jupiter trine Uranus: Split-second action
5 June 2002 until 15 June 2002: This influence gives you a strong need to express yourself by doing something that is different from your normal routine. You need to experience a new kind of freedom in your life and to discover dimensions of living that you have not known before. This may take the form of a search for inner truth on the metaphysical or philosophical level, or it may take the more external form of a new activity in your life.
You are much more receptive to new ideas during this time, and you should be a bit careful about getting into something solely because it is a novelty. However, for the most part this desire for the new is constructive and will probably be quite good for you. This is an influence that prevents you in a positive way from getting into a rut.
Sometimes this influence can denote a sudden opportunity or a piece of good luck that seems to come completely out of the blue and take you by surprise. Often it is a sudden change or an event that gives you a new chance in some way. It could be a sudden windfall or promotion or even a sudden chance encounter that works out to your benefit. If such an event occurs, take advantage of it. This is one of the few times when you shouldn't stop to ponder carefully before acting. Such a decision often requires split-second action.
This is also one of the few influences that can be very lucky in gambling. But remember that it will have this effect only if you are reasonably fortunate in such matters anyway. If you are usually unlucky at gambling, this influence will probably not affect you positively.
This influence also enables you to grasp new ideas quickly. You can learn subjects faster now than at other times, and you see very quickly the patterns in anything. On occasion this influence can signify a fortunate discovery or invention.
Jupiter trine Moon: With little effort
16 June 2002 until 26 June 2002: Usually you will feel very good with this influence, quite optimistic and generous. You will be concerned about the welfare of those around you and will want to protect the people you love. At this time you will attract favorable circumstances and resources with little effort, which will seem very pleasant now. But you should not expect this to keep on happening indefinitely. In particular, people may come after you to meet you for some reason, and these people could be quite beneficial to you in business or personal affairs. Regardless of your own sex, you may very well benefit from women during this time.
In some people this influence may stimulate an interest in religious and spiritual thought, but your views would be more strongly concerned with ethics and morality than with a more mystical approach to religion.
At the very least you can expect to feel quite good at this time, and even if nothing tremendous comes out of it, you will have a feeling of satisfaction and of being at peace with yourself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inward transformation ***
Pluto Conjunction Neptune
activity period from 28 January 2002 to 19 November 2003.
Valid during many months: This influence signifies a period of very deep inward transformation that will be reflected in changed ideals, goals and many other aspects of your world view. You may also work harder than ever to bring about in reality an ideal that you have held for years. However, you will have to give up a great deal to accomplish this, and you will not receive much ego-reinforcement at the time, even if you are successful.
You will find it necessary to question very deeply many beliefs you have held as a matter of course all your life. You may become disoriented as you discover that you have been living under illusions. But at least you will not be alone, for this is one of the influences that affect everyone in one age group at about the same time. In fact, the need to change your ideals may come through your peer group. It would be a good idea to discuss this with someone who is much older or younger and who is not suffering the effects of this influence, in order to get a better perspective on what is happening to you. If you begin psychotherapy now, which is quite possible, you should not choose a therapist of your own age. While he or she might understand you, he cannot give you a different perspective.
Many elements of your life relationships, job situations, places may pass away now, but this is only a reflection of the profound changes taking place within you. After this period is over you may find it hard to recognize the person you were before.
Whatever you choose to do, it would be a good idea to study a subject that will give you greater understanding about your life. Astrology, the occult, metaphysics or even depth psychology might serve this purpose. But don't get lost in abstractions: make sure that what you learn has real consequences in your everyday life, because you have great needs there that should be met. Also your studies should give you very deep understanding. Nothing superficial would help you at this time.
Sun in the 2nd House 2
activity period from 25 January 2002 to 6 March 2002.
To be and to have
Valid during several weeks: At this time you should reflect upon your values and the things that you value. During this month-long transit you should examine your relationship to the resources of your life. At this time you need to express yourself through your material and nonmaterial resources, using them to define you to yourself and others. Now you want to have greater control of your life through the things that you value. On the material level this may mean that you will acquire possessions in order to gain more control over your own life or over other people. On the psychological level it indicates a need to assert your value system. But remember that others have a right to their own values. You should stand up for your own, but not by obliterating someone else's.
Lavish tastes
Venus in the 2nd House 2
activity period from 23 January 2002 to 24 February 2002.
Valid during several weeks: This influence can be financially either good or difficult, depending upon how you handle it. Financial opportunities may come up, but difficulties may arise from your tendency to be extravagant. Often your tastes will be more lavish than your budget can afford. You are especially susceptible to beautiful clothes, jewelry and art objects to beautify your home. This influence can be quite favorable to financial negotiations. You will be able to handle the relationships involved in any transactions to your benefit, for this influence always grants the ability to handle people. Investments made under this influence are usually quite advantageous, especially investments in art or objects of beauty. Again, be careful not to invest money that you need for everyday living.
Solar Return 2002-2003
This promises to be quite a year for money and valuables. It is indicated several places (Sun in 2nd house, Venus on IC Taurus moon on MC conjunct your Vesta, your own moon conjunct Uranus falls in 4th, Vesta conjunct your Jupiter and Jupiter conjunct the Ascendant) that money issues repeatedly will be triggered off throughout the year. Family members may be trying to control you with purse strings and commitments to making payments on big ticket items or mortgage or car payments and the like are likely to be on your mind a lot. Your father seems to be especially looming large in telling you how to make decisions and in manipulating the energies in your life. Mars conjunct your Saturn is like an aggressive, agitating force (the repo man? A greedy friend?) trying to huff & puff to blow your door in (the door to your safety deposit box!). Take care to take it all in stride. What is really happening is that you are re-evaluating what is important to you. Don’t let the facts and figures get you down. And when money is good, take a look to make sure money isn’t the only thing you’ve been thinking about. The 2nd house is our values- and your value system is due for a shake up The fixed cross (Leo Taurus Scorpio Aquarius is where these values are most resistant to change. Your once solid concept of relationship is under fire from your own feelings of pride and self esteem while parental criticism leads to frustrations on the security, insurance and responsibilities front. While all this is swirling around , a particularly unusual bright minded female (Your Pallas return in Aquarius on the 7th house) will certainly find some inventive ways to get to you and get you to think in unconventional ways. The fixed cross is like a box- are you ready to think out of the box? There’s only so much she can do (Mary is an Aquarius, no?) She may seem to be part of the problem at times, rather that a way out, but she most definitely will be influential.
One potential escape hatch is symbolized by the Pluto approach to conjunction with your Neptune on the 5th house cusp. (My caveat is to avoid turning to drugs as an escape! That could be a big disaster) It seems that a very unusual creative project could really be a way to turn this all into a potentially life changing mutation in consciousness. In Sag, a cultural immersion could bring about some kind of intense awakening. It’s as if a new God is discoverable in you recreation and creative time. Since I am aware that children are newly on the scene in your life, it may be that a child has a very deep effect on you this year. Please be aware that children like to have limits and boundaries set for them and that obsessive behavior and manipulation can happen even in young kids. Enjoy a bit of a second childhood- but within limits.
I also see that an older friend may com onto the scene for
you. Saturn trine Uranus in 7th/11th houses could
indicate a person who acts as a wiser,
older person and instructs you on the skills of communicating and
relating. Perhaps if you do learn a new
language this year, an older person may be helpful with this. Especially in learning about traditions,
expressions and long standing ways of the culture. It is sure to make life easier for you as you go through these
experiences this year.

Partner
for John Doe, born on 25 September 1979
and Mary Smith, born on 7 February 1965
John and Mary’s composite chart certainly is an exciting one . You friendship is strong and often very sweet. I’m sure you will consider marriage and it could work out very well for you. There are a few things to watch out for , as in any relationship. But first, a few of the most salient characteristics-
You may move frequently or make a very big change like moving to a foreign land. Since Mary was born in Brazil, I suppose that there are at least lots of trips coming up for you, if not a relocation. The foreign language theme is reflected in the chart. It may make some communication vague or difficult, but it certainly satisfies your Sagitarrian need for constant learning. Higher Education is probably another long term goal in this relationship. So one of you may be getting through school during this relationship or maybe learning will always be part of your lives. Cultural exchange is clearly evident as the most obvious ‘mind expansion’ that will be part of your 9th house vibration. The presence of Neptune as ruler of the chart in the ninth in Sag is symbolized in ocean cruise get aways, and possibly pharmaceuticals as “soma holiday “ as well.
There is lots of passion in this relationship and it could border on obsessive. There are times when you will absolutely HAVE TO give each other freedom to explore and do separate things. Your Scorpio moon is secretive- and people of the generation around the late sixties do have a lot of volatile energy to deal with. So allow for growth and this love could last a very long time. Certainly, this relationship will change you both permanently and profoundly- make it for the better by being open to the changes that come up. The excitement is there- live it up! It seems like witty conversation, interests in new technologies and gadgets, fast paced lifestyles and frequent changes are likely throughout your lives. I guess you’ll both be entrepreneurs, because there is a definite fluctuation in money, but Jupiter in Cancer in the 3rd indicates, land, real estate inheritance and or extended family provide a wealthy, fertile base from which to experiment with career, lifestyles and places to live. You’ll be OK in the financial arena in general.
Take a look at your Solar return chart for some surprising observations on finance for the upcoming year! (p.14)

Sun in the Ninth House
Composite Sun in the ninth house indicates a relationship that involves the growth of consciousness. Particularly in a personal relationship, the experiences that you undergo will give you greater understanding and insight into what is going on in your world.
With the Sun in this position, a relationship between the sexes may tend to become platonic.
The two of you will be very interested in communication and the sharing of ideas. You may travel quite a bit or at least be interested in foreign or distant places.
For a personal relationship the only possible defect of this placement is that the relationship is likely to be more intellectual than emotional.
This position is useful in any type of relationship because it indicates that together you have foresight and the ability to plan ahead for the long haul.
Sun Conjunct Mercury
The conjunction of composite Sun and Mercury signifies that there will be a great deal of mental activity in this relationship. This aspect is good for verbal communication between you.
You both should be wary of the tendency to intellectualize your emotions rather than deal with them at the gut level.
You have an unusual similarity of thinking, or at least a better than average ability to understand each other's thinking.
Mercury is a planet of travel, not always in the literal sense of the word, but in the metaphorical sense; that is, you like to be continually exposed to new ideas and experiences together.
One of the most positive attributes of this aspect is the ability to be detached from what you are discussing. Because of this detachment you may even be able to talk about your relationship and arrive at understandings that will help you both to get more out of it.
Sun Conjunct Venus
The conjunction of Sun and Venus in the composite chart is one of the strongest indications of a love relationship between two people, even in a friendship. It does not primarily indicate a sexual relationship; instead it signifies love, pure and simple. The attraction indicated by this aspect is so powerful that it can bring together people who are incompatible by ordinary criteria.
If the relationship is laden with conflicts, even a strong feeling of love between you may turn to hatred. In most cases, however, this will be a very fine personal relationship.
Sun Conjunct Saturn
Sun conjunct Saturn is a very powerful aspect in a composite chart. It indicates that you have come together to have an important learning experience.
The experience of this relationship may expose you to truths about yourselves that you would rather not face. The point is not to judge yourselves or each other, but to see clearly and with detachment and then try to make changes where necessary.
In many respects you may find this relationship confining and limiting. It may well be that you do need this discipline and that you are not facing your responsibilities. If you need this experience, the relationship may last a lifetime. But if it is really too confining, it will probably not last very long.
Sun Conjunct Neptune
With Sun conjunct Neptune in the composite chart, there is either a lot of idealism or much self-delusion in this relationship. The challenge you face is to determine which of these is true in your case and to come to terms with this reality.
At any rate you will probably feel that the two of you have a highly spiritual union, which may in fact be so. The action of Neptune is very nonphysical, so that a love union under its influence is likely to be platonic rather than physical.
The second possibility, that of self-delusion, simply means that the two of you are not confronting each other but instead are projecting visions of what you want on your partner.
All these tactics represent insincere or self-delusive efforts to avoid the real people in the relationship - you and your partner.
