Should I stay or should I go?

Hello,
I would appreciate some astrological insight. Will this relationship stand the test of time? We've been together for quite some time and it's time for big decisions now. But my partner seems hesitant and it makes me confused.
My chart:

His chart:

I know my first Saturn return has started. Saturn is in my 7th house and it is in Leo. Could you explain what it means.

Thank you in advance,
Gishgosh

gish,

Transiting (planets in the sky) Saturn (duty, also structure) focused in the 7th house (relationships) is exactly what you said, "Will this relationship stand the test of time?" That's exactly what this time is about: you want a structured, committed relationship. A major difference between you is you have energy focused in the 7th house, so you focus on relatinoships. He, does not have energy focused in the 7th house, so he does not focus on relationships. Getting in a relationship simply because he has been around a person a long time might not occur to him as easily as it does for you.

Your Saturn return time is when Saturn returns to its birth position. This is a time of becoming an adult and facing the issues Saturn is focused on in the birth chart. Your Saturn is focused on relationships, so now is a time of getting serious about relationships. It also is a test of how serious you have been about being in an "adult" relationship. If you have been serious, responsible, and focused on your relationships with others, this Saturn return time could result in a long-lasting serious relationship. If you have not been serious about your relationships, then this Saturn return time will be about becoming serious about your relationships.

As you know, a relationship, possibly leading to marraige, is a big step, and not for everybody. Express your concern to your partner, if you have not already and, if for whatever reason they can't commit, you may want to consider finding someone who is a little more serious about their relationships.

Relating,

Tim
