with Jupiter conjunct the node, the first impression is that this would work very well as this implies the support of an authority figure.but Neptune's square to Jupiter and node which is a bit troubling as it can show unseen agenda. if the doctorate is in very creative field then this aspect might not have quite the potential for misunderstanding.
Jupiter is inconjunct to juno which can indicate a close working relationship but the midpoint is opposed to Uranus and conjunct to chiron. Uranus bodes arguments though chiron would bode brilliant and analytical meeting of minds.
Priapus square to Venus does give e some concerns as it might show a personal attraction underneath the academic relationship. This is not necessarily negative but a personal interest could influence the academic rigor. I guess it depends if it is a two way street.
Saturn square the vertex also seems two edged. it can show stubbornness and control dynamic or I overly structured influence .
the eros/psyche midpoint is square to ceres which again brings a emotional attraction into the relationship .ceres coud be very supportive but again personal emotional over tones might deflect concentration on the doctorate itself.
mars conjunct to Lilith and square to the Jupiter/pallas midpoint makes me wondered further if he migt have some not so latent emotional attraction to you.again if it is mutual,then it probably is not troubling but if it is one way then latent jealously might influence professional decisions.
with the grand trine of mercury/venus trine to juno and Neptune with pluto opposed to mercury/venus, one would aspect this pattern to assuage any emotional complications.
though chiron is square to psyche and the midpoint is opposed to pluto.chiron ca bring a emotion;al "quirkiness" into play and opposed to pluto there is a possibility of some darker absive emotional reaction if expectations were not met or expectations were inflated to begin with.
as I recall you have an energy about you that can sweep people off their feet so,you must consider how an intimate relationship educationally might affect this man.
I can't really get clear reading here as the emotional connection is not clear to me.
