Is it wise to invest heavily in a relationship w/o a Saturn connection?

Okay, I know that all of the experts here probably wish I would stop posting amateurish questions like this in the forum, so I swear, this will be my last topic like this for a while. I keep reading that if you are considering a relationship with someone, but you check out your composite horoscope and discover no significant Saturn connection between the two of you, this is an indication that the relationship may not last. Could some of the experts here tell me to what degree you think this is true?

Some context: there is someone I'm considering sharing more of my life with. Mainly in a professional sense (he's a distant friend, a person I really admire, who has asked me to consider working for him someday soon in another city on the opposite coast). I was shocked to find that despite my adoration for him and what feels like an intimate, possibly past-life bond between the two of us, we have no significant Saturn connection. Unless our Saturn-Venus opposition counts, that is. Does this mean I shouldn't consider him or his business to be an advisable investment for me? (The rest of our composite chart looks extremely positive to me.) Is the lack of a Saturnine link between our charts evidence that working for him is not part of my Path?

1. LOL

Now you're starting to really crack me up.

"Okay, I know that all of the experts here probably wish I would stop posting amateurish questions like this in the forum, so I swear, this will be my last topic like this for a while."

I for one. truly appreciate your sincere tenacity and curiousity.

If you don't ask questions you won't figure out that some astrological authors make heavy handed generalizations in their cookbooks that always require tempering and mollification.

The old adage of "exceptions to every rule" applies as ever.

You can ask anything you like silly.

Anyone who's been working with an astro orientation for a while knows all too well the stage of learning when one is repeatedly compelled to throw all the books out the window based on these simplistic generalizations.

But then sooner or later things suddenly start to click and you see the broader picture.

"Unless our Saturn-Venus opposition counts, that is."

Ahhhhhhh. . .That would count.

Without looking at the synastry or composite I'd say follow your heart.

2. Ohhhhh. Okay.

I think I get it now. Good for me, then!

3. This is one of the reasons that I sometimes part company with

the astrologers. I think only your intuition has the answer, not the stars. My husband and I were considered incompatible in Western astrology. But in Chinese astrology we were soul mates. The Chinese were right about this, but wrong about other things. I don't like written in stone rules personally. It isn't that the cosmos could be wrong but maybe the people interpreting it.

Go with your heart. You may get wounded but you won't know unless you explore it. Not jumping into a situation if it feels right could deny you what you should have experienced.

4. Hee. It's interesting that you should mention that.

In Western astrology, yeah, there are some alleged incompatibilities between us. But according to the Chinese, we fit like hand in glove (Water Goat/Earth Goat). Well, as boss/employee, anyway. I think the significance of the Saturn-Venus opposition has to do with the fact that as a couple we wouldn't mesh. Ever (he's 33 years older than me and the kind of married who would never stray).
