thank you @IleneK for your reply. I will update you with what happens going forward.
I’m focusing on attracting a wonderful partner into my life. This guy came out of nowhere and strong! I don’t think i’ve ever been pursued this ardently I was very flattered (his mars is exactly conjunct my ascendant). When I pushed him what his relationship status was he revealed he’s in an open relationship (it sounded like their relationship might be coming to an end but I can't be sure).
I told him there is no way whatsoever I can be romantically involved with him in this situation. I told him what I need and want, there has been some space between us since. Part of me thinks he’s going to give us a chance within the boundaries I’m comfortable with. But maybe not, this is why I’m asking.
Do you say slow to take shape because Saturn is involved? But possibly because it’s applying conjunction it could be sooner?
How long do you think in terms of time, months, a year?
