Yeah, me too. I blame Saturn in 7th. But this might be an age gap a little too far for me:-
quote:
He is old enough to be her great-great-grandfather. But Ahmed Muhamed Dhore, a Somalian who claims he is 112 years old, said he had realised a "dream" by marrying a 17-year-old bride.Dhore – who says he was born in 1897, the year that Queen Victoria celebrated her diamond jubilee – already has 13 children by five wives, but said he would like more with his newest, Safiya Abdulle. Hundreds of people attended the extraordinary ceremony this week in Guriceel, in the region of Galguduud. "Today God helped me realise my dream," Dore said. He and his new wife, who is almost a century his junior, are from the same village in Somalia, he said, adding that he had waited for her to grow up to propose. He says his children and two other wives agreed to the marriage, as did Abdulle's parents. "I didn't force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love, and then we agreed to marry," the groom said. The bride's family said she was "happy with her new husband". Somali adolescent girls are often married off to older men. Dhore has 114 children and grandchildren. His oldest son is 80 and three of his wives have died. This was his first marriage for three quarters of a century.

I'm all for love. I'm not all for legalised pedophilia. Where this fits? I don't know. She's 17.IP: Logged |

When I was betwixt age 12 and 16, I was in love with a man who was 102 when we met and who passed at 106. I still come to tears when I go by the field where his little cottage used to be and his bee hives and woods and fruit trees and his vegetable garden. We would sit and cuddle gently kiss, hand hold, look into each others eyes, and eat fresh honey comb from his bee hives and eat the tasty pickles he made from all kinds of fruits and vegetables. He liked to pick flowers and put them in my hair. We danced to music on the radio. He quoted poetry and sang to me too. It was magical and precious for me and I still savor those memories. I would have happily made love with him but I was afraid that he was too fragile. I had another dear who passed at age 96. (I was 16 to 27) And another at age 84.(I was 17 to 22) Even as I write, I am moved to tears. Love to you my old long passed loves, Ivanovich (born 1864), Franklin (born 1885), Vael (born 1888). ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student...

moon and mars in aqua and mercury, sun saturn and venus in 11th in whole sign, if you add to it the aspects from uranus to venus, jupiter, neptune, mercury, and opposing moon/mars/chiron midpoint, there is quite a lot of aqua energy. but moon and stellium in 11th seems the most significant to me. i would have expected dsc or moon.
interesting to note that you are born just 2 months after my dad. he was born sept. 1st

myself, with cancer rising, i've got saturn as ruler of my 7th. but i'm not that much into older men. i prefer to be the older one (the two guys i fell in love with were 22 at the time. i was 26 and 28.) not that much younger. may be due to saturn being in the 3rd ???? huh? 112 is a bit too much for me. half this age and i can't imagine introducing him to my mum. no really, i can't imagine it.

My current partner and the previous are 15 years younger. I do not care about age, as long as over 18 to 100+. A connection of the heart/soul is what it is. Age is meaningless to me.------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student... Learning is eternal. }><}}(*> IP: Logged |

my mom doesmy mom had me when she was 17 years old,and my father was almost 31 years old. she married my former stepfather when she was 23 years old,and he was 25 years older than her. He was 6 years older than my maternal grandfather. she's also dated other men that were older than her. They were in their 60's,and she was in her mid 30's. using whole sign house system:
My mother has retrograde Saturn in Scorpio in 5th trine the conjunction of Jupiter and Ascendant in Cancer in 1st,sextile the conjunction of Mars and Descendant in Capricorn in 7th my father had Sun-Mercury in Capricorn trine the conjunction of stationary planets,Jupiter and Saturn in Taurus.
so his Capricorn planets were in my mom's 7th house,and so she has relationship with her. His Mars was in Scorpio,and so it was in her 5th house, and so procreation with her resulting in me. Raymond

Older men + Meta = (but also equal lots and lots of trouble [and heartache]!!!)Older men are such sticks in the mud when it comes to dating someone younger. They always assume that young ladies have ulterior motives. A youthful lass like me can't POSSIBLY be interested in you for you! No, I have to want your money. Or if you have no money, I just want to eat your soul... IP: Logged |

Well yes I have always liked them older but now that I'm getting older I'm finding that attraction to be waning. I saw that article & I won't bother to post my thoughts. They'll only get bleeped anyways, lol. IP: Logged |
