I did not read the rest of the sentence. I immediately scrolled down to see if the chart has an early ASC, an indication of premature questions. An Early ASC is at the 3rd degree or before. Yours is at 3:55, less than one degree beyong the early limit. Your chart is fit for judgement but it still does have quite an early ASC indicating premature assumptions.
OK. So you are signified by Jupiter Rx in Scoprio in the 8th house. It's the first time I hear that the 8th house represents the future. Where did you read that? What I know is that the 8th house give accidental dibility which adds up on the essential dibility Jupiter laready has by being in Rx moition and Via Combusta.
His significator as short term partner is the Moon, the ruler of the first house. As a long term partner, his significator is Mercury, the ruler of the 7th.
Let's take Mercury first because your horary is concerned with in a long term relationship.
Mercury and Jupiter are mutually applying to a square, which may say yes but with difficulty. However, the aspect could only be perfected by Jupiter carries on the Rx motion. Jupiter will actually turn direct and move in the other direction throwing all the work on Mercury. Unfortunately, Mercury will not be able to perfect that aspect as it will turn Rx itself and move in the opposite direction.
Looks like there will be some potential but you will change your mind. It is possible that you will do so because you will be out of a phase or will not need him anymore. Just as you do that, he'll change his mind too and will not fight to make it work.
If we look at the 5th house for potential of casual romance, the picture is much brighter. The cusp of the 5th house is in cancer, which makes his almuten Jupiter, your significator. This is good affinity. His actual significator, the Moon, applies to Saturn. Jupiter will too as it will turn direct soon. There will be collection of light that way. However, there is no major mutual reception going on there.
Looks like you guy may have a shot at casual romance with the help of an external factor (a friend maybe). But it will not go further than that, that is if you choose to start something in the first place
