When the composite Sun is conjunct composite Saturn: 

Your relationship may have a particularly fateful, heavy, "unavoidable" quality. You both feel somehow that it is necessary to the two of you to be together, whether or not you would always want to be or find the experience enjoyable.

In important ways you discipline and mature one another's understanding, and being together forces you to encounter the foolishness, illusions, softness or weakness within yourselves that prevent you from growing up or taking true responsibility for your lives.

Put simply, one of the purposes and outcomes of this relationship is to toughen you up and encourage self-responsibility in you both. It will be tempting to blame one another for all of the things you don't like in yourselves, those "negatives" you find are stimulated by being together, such as the ways you hold yourselves back. You may come to see one another as the oppressor, the judge, the kill-joy, the disapproving parent. However, this person is probably only constricting in response to the fears he or she has, and not intending to unduly limit you or hold you down.

The personal, affectionate aspect of your relationship may be sacrificed to duty or work. There is a sense that the relationship is inevitable, and neither of you understand exactly why. Responsibilities to each other are emphasized.

 

When the composite Sun is opposition composite Saturn: 

Whatever you get in this relationship comes to you through hard work, struggle, and a willingness to endure through hardships and overcome some daunting odds against the two of you. You'll feel at times that when you try to do anything together, you come right up against a massive brick wall. This may consist of restrictive outer circumstances, your own fears and insecurities, or a combination of the two. You inhibit one another, often out of fear or a desire for security.

One of you plays the "heavy" in the other's experience, or through no fault or intention of your own, could become a weight, a burden, an oppressive or limiting factor in the other's life.

It is likely that both of you will mature, and become truly self-reliant and responsible, more through what you cannot have in this relationship than anything else. Rather than resenting the duties or deprivations, you can see them as necessary and ultimately strengthening. In any case, this will not be an easy relationship.

When the composite Sun is square composite Saturn: 

The necessity to get down to business, to work hard, and to be responsible adults is an essential aspect of your relationship. When the two of you are together a sense of heaviness, seriousness, purpose, or obligation weighs in on you, so it is not always pleasant to be around one another. You demand much - sometimes too much - of one another and of your relationship. One or both of you may become overly critical, oppressive, and restrictive toward the other. Financial hardships and burdens, difficult circumstances such as a chronic health problem, or other "battles" which require patience, endurance, forbearance, and toughness are also likely. Part of the purpose of this relationship is to develop these qualities within you both. While unlikely to be an easy relationship, it can be character-building and ultimately strengthening.

When the composite Sun is trine composite Saturn: 

Longevity, stability, mutual conscientiousness and dedication are essential aspects of your relationship. The two of you can build something very solid together. A focus on the practical, on financial security, and on taking care of duties, obligations, and responsibilities permeates your bond with one another. You foster the conservative in one another, and develop a togetherness that is peaceful, steady, more inclined to contentment than to flamboyance or fireworks. The only pitfall in all of this is a tendency to fall into established patterns of being with one another which eventually become too predictable and too easy to take for granted. Nevertheless you are destined to have a long-lasting relationship.

When the composite Sun is sextile composite Saturn: 

One of the positives in your relationship of the sense that you can always count on each other, and that no matter what, you have a steady, reliable friend in one another. Conscientiousness, loyalty, the capacity to stay with it over the long haul - these are essential aspects of your bond.

Practical matters, the business of daily living, work, and taking care of mundane affairs are also very much a part of it. You work well together. Planning and investing for the future, and making wise financial choices together are emphasized.

When the composite Sun is quincunx composite Saturn: 

Circumstances beyond your control and not of your choosing may intrude themselves upon you two, and prevent you from having as full a relationship as you would wish. You may have to overcome great odds in order to be together, or simply find that other duties, obligations, and commitments don't enable you to be together as much as you would like. Beware of reinforcing thoughts of gloom and doom, struggle, or "we can't", and try to focus instead on what you do enjoy about one another and your relationship. Inevitably, there will be lacks, gaps, regrets, or missing elements in your relationship, but if you concentrate on what IS working, you'll have a better chance of overcoming those difficulties.
