Thanks for the time, Scanner.
With fixed signs on the angles, this marriage could last longer than many people think it will. Unfortunately, I do not think it will be a particularly happy marriage for them.
Malefic SOUTH NODE hovers just above the ASCENDANT. In a Marriage Chart, that could point more to a "karmic" or "fated" connection rather than anything intrinsically bad.
Chart ruler the SUN (ruler of the ASCENDANT) is the ruler of the Marriage, here in House 8 of Death. That gives me a sad sense that it is the disappearance / loss of Haleigh that fueled this marriage into taking place now. With SUN partile conj. URANUS, it was a sudden (URANUS) commitment (opposed SATURN of commitment), a spur-of-the-moment (URANUS) reaction to a most distressing and psychologically (8th house) unbearable situation (loss of daughter). I don't think Ronald was thinking clearly but rather trying desperately to ease the unimaginable burden he is carrying. I even get a sense of magical thinking: that if they do "what Haleigh wanted," maybe they will get her back.... very sad.
In a Marriage Chart, SUN = Husband and MOON = wife. Notice there is no aspect between SUN and MOON. This is not something you'd want to see in your own Marriage chart. MOON sesquisquares MARS, so there will likely be plenty of arguments. There are no aspects from or to MERCURY (communication) so I fear if there will be much meeting of the minds. VENUS semisquares MARS so there may be some sexual interest.
Fortunately, I do not see obvious abuse markers. I'm not saying Ron won't lose his temper from time to time and call her a dumb*b*tch and make her feel bad & make her cry, because he probably will (MOON/MARS, MOON/VENUS, SUN/URANUS, SATURN/URANUS hard aspects). But we can always hope that this marriage will bring them some comfort and strength. It's not a bad chart, just a difficult one, and with some love and respect and a lot of hard work, maybe they'll really have a chance at making a go of it.
Thanks,
