Saturn-North Node Aspects in Synastry

“Commitment is about staying together during both good and tough times.”

Wise Cultivator

Why is commitment so powerful in a romantic relationship? Because it creates security. When you know your partner is fully committed to you, you don’t have to worry about them leaving when times get tough. 

Most divorces happen because people like freedom. They think short-term and value self-interest rather than the commitment that must be earned, not freely given.

In this post, we’ll explore five major Saturn-North Node aspects in synastry.
