Hi, Minderwiz, thanks for the help! Here are some of my thoughts.
I don't know why you got a different Ascendant, may be it took me a few minutes to save the chart on my computer. I vast it again now for 16:45 and I got the Asc pretty much the same, difference a couple of minutes, may be because I use Placidus.
Changing the House system in a quadrant based chart will not change the Ascendent. Only the intermediate cusps will change (houses 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12). I've recast the chart using a third program and got exactly the same 4 degrees 7 minutes rising, so I think the web page your're using is the probable cause of the error (unless you made a data entry error, which I very much doubt)

Can you please tell me what difference it would make if Saturn is on the MC? Because that's where he is in my chart.
As above the MC difference is most likely a software error, so the true MC is almost certainly Scorpio. If it had been Libra, and with Saturn conjunct the MC and it's Exaltation and Triplicity ruler, Saturn would be the most powerful planet in the chart' dominating it. The later MC only weakens this slightly, Saturn is still the dominant planet. However as an indcator of you, it would shift your focus from ninth house matters to tenth house matters. As that still includes Actions, it would suggest that you have massive power to act here, even if he is remote from you. The later MC, puts Saturn in the ninth and shifts the emphasis to distance (the ninth deals with overseas travel) and dreams, (which I think are the two relevant ninth house matters here).

I have the Moon in the first and I remember reading this shows the interest of the other person. But I thought the same about Venus in his 1st house in the sign of the Moon - if Venus represents me, this would show my interest towards him. I'm writing this to explain about my feelings - they are far from academic. LOL I think Saturn in the 9th represents the fact that I'm away from him, very far away.
The other person's significator in the first, shows their interest in you - they are coming to your territory (literally), This tends to show them as the vulnerable party as well as making clear their desires. This is weakened to the extent that the significator is more distant from the Ascendent, so usually more than 15 degrees or in the next sign shows that they have some interest but not as much as being in your house (remember that originally signs were seen as the domicile or house of a planet. The Greeks actually referred to what we call houses as 'places' and that is probably a better distinction). The situation in this chart is further complicated because Saturn rules both Capricorn and Aquarius, so I would not reduce the level of interest as much as I would if we were dealing with a different sign ruler. So we have a situation where the Moon is in a domicile of Saturn (though not the one containing the Ascendent) and with Placidus cusps is in the first (but only just by degree). Because it lies only three and a half degrees from the Second House cusp, many traditional Astrologers would have treated it as second House being that close.
Venus in the seventh is only your significator, if we fall back onto the use of the additional significators for marriage. I'm not sure that the question is strong enough to do that - we haven't reached first base yet lol. But in a sense that issue is moot because there's no combination of yours and his significators pointing to a perfected outcome. It's an early days chart and indicates promise at this stage, but no more (and promise at this stage is good).

Now, the main point is that you're completely right - the chart is not to show final outcome at this point. But I was mostly interested if the translation of light the Moon (ruler of the question/action as well, right, not only his significator?) will perform from Jupiter (my 3rd house ruler) to Mercury (his 3rd house ruler) suggests that he will read my writing and respond? This is my only way of communication with him right now and it's through another person, a woman (Moon?). That's why it's important.
Or is there another indication in the chart about possible communication or meeting? I couldn't find another but I'm a novice.
Translation of light only works if Significator A aspects (or is aspected by) Planet C and Planet B's next aspect is to Significator B. That Significator A cannot aspect another planet first and then Planet C, having been aspected by Significator A, aspect another planet before aspecting Significator B. Thus the aspects to Jupiter and Mercury which the Moon makes, before aspecting Saturn tells us that the translation will not occur.
Your question doesn't directly include communications

The question was if anything positive/romantic will develop between me and K
though you did mention it in the background information. This is where framing the question becomes very important - the chart relates to the relationship, not the communications -we need to take some care in pulling in other issues that are not directly dependent on the question. That being said the Application of the Moon to Jupiter (your third house ruler) suggests that he will receive your communication.
Now we know that you sent the communication, so the above aspect is a reasonable indicator that it will get through (and as you used a third party, that is good news). His response though is problematical here. The question doesn't really address the issue of will he reply, only will there be a relationship.
The Moon's opposition to Mercury (ruler of his third house) that follows might indeed suggest action on his part but, given it's an oppostion, it could be a negative response, or it might simply indicate their will be a response but only with considerable difficulty. If there were a response, then Mercury's application by sextile to Saturn suggests that you will receive it. There are quite a few 'ifs' here and a possibility that the response would be negative, even if you did receive it.
Given that degree of uncertainty I think we are stretching the question too far and it would be better to ask a separate question about the communications/a positive response from him.
Your Astrololgy here is quite good it's a matter of what weight we put on the aspects. I would not guarantee a response form this chart but I would say that there are some positive indications in that direction and one rather strong negative one. Try asking a separate question on the lines of 'Will I get a positive reply to my letter?' and see if that sheds more light on the matter.
I'll have a look at your other issue in another post.
