The ones who smoke too many cigs, drink too many beers, and have too many kids ...

Seriously though? Gemini's are known for aging very slowly and very well. But as for looking OLDER? First, I think of Capricorn, the Sign which starts out as an older person in their childhood, but getting younger with age.

I guess any Chart which makes one feel restricted, which can happen from many different Aspects.

It depends which way you look at it.

I say Virgo Rising. For the simple fact that I'm only 16, and the majority of people mistake me for being in college.

[EDIT]

I just noticed you said Sun Signs....I'm an Aries...so I'll go with that.

Good question. I know that despite my Cap rising, people always mistake me for much younger than I really am. I'm 28 and most of the time people have trouble believing I'm over 21. But maybe it's my Sag moon shining through.

Nove,

Virgo risings always look older when they are under the age of 21, then something seems to happen and time stands still.

I have a Virgo rising (and with the exception of one semi-blind twit) I have always been asked if I am much younger than what I am. I will be 37 in December and I still get ID's when I buy alcohol unless they know me. Most often people think I am in my mid 20's but when I was 15 or 16 people thought I was in my early 20's. LOL.. go figure.

I'm also a Sag Sun / Venus which does play in the charm thing. Well, at least my Leo hubby things I am charming hee hee

Well, I'm a Virgo Sun and only 15 but I've been mistaken for as old as 28!!

The usual guesses have been 17, 18 (that was when I was 13!) and generally around the range I guess. So not drastic. But still.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

My guess (and it's only a guess) would be to look at the ascendant and/or the sun and see what aspects are made to them. If Saturn is conjunct/trine/sextile to ascendant, or in the first house, chances are you look older. Ditto if Saturn is conjunct, trine or sextile the sun.

People under-estimate my age by about five years - lucky me! I thank my sun in gemini and capricorn ascendant. I like the idea muchly of capricorn rising getting younger with age

I'd have to say Virgo also. In general I'm mistaken for ten years older than I am. I like to think it's my great wisdom that gives the appearance and not my gray hair. LOL

I've always heard of Gemini being the one sign that retains a youthful appearance.

Virgos (at least the ones I know) seem mature which could confuse some people, but they too have an enthusiasm about them that makes them look younger when they're in a good mood.

I'd say Cap's the sign that makes a person act older, at least earlier in life as AJ suggested. I have my sun/moon/mercury/asc all in Cap and with the sun sextiling saturn, which itself is in my 10th house. Only a few days ago I caught myself saying "I feel old" plus the majority of my friends are all at least 35. I can't even dream of making sense around people my own age either. (Anyone else in the same boat around here?)

From a high schooler's standpoint it's going to be different from an adult standpoint.

One of my brothers is always taken for being older than he is. He is 2 1/2 years younger than I am but even ten years ago people would tell me they met my "older brother" and it happens even more so now. He is a Cancer Sun, Aries Moon, Virgo Ascendant.
(so there is the Virgo connection)
He has Pluto conjunct Uranus in his first house. He has always had a stern demeanor, which is what I think contributes to "looking older".

I don't know about sun signs, but Neptune in the 1rst house prematurely lines the face.

to all my lil virgo sisters out there, I personally would like to think that it is our mature attitutes that make people "assume" we are older than we are, and not based on our "looks".lol However, I too was often mistaken to be much older than I was while I was in my teens.

At the time I was okay with it, I figured that someday the table would turn. At 45, I am still waiting, lol

Well its really not about which sun sign you are, i beiieve its mostly your 5th house, i have capricorn cusp with a saturn in the 5th house, and those type of people look older and attract older romances (people) as lovers.

I have Virgo Rising, and people think I look younger than my age and even sound younger than that.

I had people on the phone ask me where are my parents. I am in my 30's!

I have been told that I sound like I am 12 yrs old when I was 29 yrs old. A gal on the phone told me that I sound like I was 14 when I was 32 yrs old.

Good point, AG . Personally, I think that it's all about genes. Although it makes me happy to see how many people confident in their appearances we have around here.

I was watching a movie with Diane Lane and I thought to myself -- "I hope I look that good when I hit 50." Then I thought "no she looks more like 48. I checked out her chart online and was shocked to find out she's younger than me!!! She's only 41!

There is always an exception though, I used to be really good friends with a Gemini, and she did look alot older than her age(she had a very wild lifestyle). She must have had different aspects in her chart which made her so vivacious.

My ex-husband is a Gemini,(a very good-looking one at that, he did give me a very handsome son) and the last time I saw him, which was 7 years ago or so, he looked much older than his age, which was 41 or 42 at the time (I can't remember!)

I think it's genes and how you take care of yourself.
