The chart cast has Virgo rising, making Mercury your significator. Mercury is in Capricorn the fifth house of Romance, That is a good sign both because it fits your question but also because the fifth is a strong placement, being trine to the Ascendant. Mercury is not particularly strong in itself being Peregrine - which I usually interpret to mean you need some help in the matter. The person, thing or organisation concerned tends to be signified by the ruler of your significator, which is Saturn. Mercury and Saturn are reasonably friendly as they are both rulers in the Air triplicity, though in this chart Saturn is in Sagittarius. It's angular but it too is Peregrine. It's also not good in a night chart. So I think you might struggle in terms of any help from third parties.
Mercury is separating from Saturn but the Moon lies only degrees behind, which is outside the modern orb for a Conjunction but inside the Hellenistic orb of 13 degrees for the Moon (given that it is much faster than any other planet). I will return to the Moon/Mercury conjunction later.
The other party for a long term relationship is signified by the ruler of the seventh, Jupiter and this is where the reading gets interesting. Jupiter is placed in the first house (your house) and quite a few early horary Astrologers would have treated this as evidence in itself that the matter will be perfected.
I would certainly treat it as strong evidence for the matter. Even better Jupiter is in a mutually applying trine with Mercury. So there's a positive aspect forming between the two and there's Reception - that is the aspect enables Mercury to receive or welcome Jupiter into Virgo and the first house.
The separation between the two is 1 degree an 1 minute but a question that occurred to me is whether the Moon reaches Mercury before Mercury reaches Jupiter.
In fact it does, the Moon con-joins Mercury just ten minutes of arc before Mercury trines Jupiter. My issue now is whether I treat that as prohibiting the matter or not.
On the one hand, Jupiter is not Mercury's next aspect - the Moon is and this should lead me to discount the matter.
On the other hand, before the Moon perfects its conjunction with Mercury, Mercury and Jupiter are in a partile conjuction (both in the same degree) and have been for a few hours before the Moon turned up. That being said, the conjunction has not been perfected, so I have to accept that there's a problem in perfecting the matter.
If Mercury was the Moon's next aspect, I would still opt for the Matter, but before the Moon joins Mercury it has first joined with Venus.
There are two further complications which might change the interpretation. Both are favourable. Firstly the Moon is the ruler of the eleventh house, which signifies friends. So it's possible that a friend intervenes but in a helpful way (remember Mercury is Peregrine - in need of help). The Moon's next aspect after the conjunction with Mercury is a trine to Jupiter. So should I allow this extension of translation of light is a question that I asked myself. Especially as the Moon acts as the querent's co-significator.
The second complication is that Jupiter and the Ascendant are in an applying conjunction and that would perfect the matter but for Mercury trining the Ascendant first. The Ascendant isn't a planet, so it can't translate the ;light from Mercury to Jupiter.
So I find myself in a position where it looks like there's a last minute prevention of the matter, unless I stretch things with the Moon. I'd like to hope that I could and thus predict success but I have to warn you that you might find a situation where you appear to be moving towards a relationship and a friend intervenes in someway to stop things developing (or just possibly, hasten them up).
I hope it's the latter, but no promises.
