Aries on the 7th house of the SR chart points out the need to learn how to be in a sharing relationship/partnership without loosing your identity.
Being direct on those fields is half way. You are asked to stand up for yourself without being dominating.
You should be around your Saturn return. Indeed this is always a critical period in life...
Throughout the year you will experience an eventful 12th period of time with new beginnings as most of planets are in angular houses.
The SR and NC ascendant sign is the same. The ruler's solar return house position describes the image that you project to others. It's ruler is conjunct the NC Venus, so it is clear the area of life being affected, also where the results of your personal growth are seen.
The 7th house also rules confrontation. The sign on the cusp shows how you deal with conflict. This 7th dispute is easily shown by SR Mars position is opposing your natal Pluto/Saturn conjunction. SR Mars is in own sign. So, Mars is super powerful in this sign. It's a fantastic vehicle for taking action and to practice patience.
Mars in a close contact with Pluto/Saturn natal aspect configuration brings the need to find balance between your needs, wants and the needs and wants of another person.
Good luck!!
