I've heard people with Capricorn placements (personal palnets) age well. You also have to look at if they smoke, for how long, do they drink excessively, have they gone through a lot of heart ache, abusing drugs, etc.

People in my family age don't really wrinkle and get gray much. When I saw my maternal grandfather at his funeral,he barely had wrinkle on his face and he was 63 years old. Interestingly,his beard got gray.....that's the same with me. I got gray in my beard at 23 and 24. Something weirdly genetic about that/
My mom is 53 years old,and she has no visible wrinkles and only a few gray hairs including a gray streak that she has like her paternal grandmother. Something weirdly genetic about that too.
I have an aunt who is 47 years old,and the same thing. People think that I am younger than my age.I am not sure if Astrology reflects that. I think that its more of the Hispanic,Mediterranean European Background than anything else. IP: Logged |

I am a Gemini ascendant and a Capricorn Sun...I am going to be 30 and people still mistake me for being barely 20 sometimes. It's kind of a double-edged sword. Maybe I'll really learn to appreciate it when I get older...  ------------------

People with Saturn making easy aspects (trine, sextile) to sun or ascendant will tend to age well. Saturn rules time, and when you have Saturn well aspected, time is on your side. (yes it is, lol)IP: Logged |

Everyone in my family looks younger than they really are. So I'm looking to see what we have in common astrologically that could show this...Geminis are said to age well. My dad and sister both have Gemini rising. I have Mercury in the first house. My brother has Mercury conjunct his MC. My mom has Mercury widely conjunct her ASC. Caps are also said to age well. My sister is a Cap sun. My mom has Cap rising plus Venus in Cap in her 1st house. I have Venus in Cap. My brother has Saturn exactly sextile his ASC. I think Virgos also tend to look young for their age. My brother is a Virgo sun, and Virgo is my most prominent sign (according to Pullen at astro.com, anyway). Sag has also been mentioned. I'm a Sag sun, so is my mom, and my brother is a Sag rising. My dad has Jupiter conjunct his Asc. My parents are both in their 60s, and almost wrinkle-free. My sister is almost 31, I'm 28, and my brother is 25, and people usually think we're all in our early 20s. I think it's our Mediterranean genes, plus our shared love of produce. Vegetables were worshipped in my house. My mom thinks it's a major character flaw if someone doesn't like broccoli.  I guess it's reasonable to think that a Mercury/Saturn/Jupiter influence could indicate someone who looks as young as her genes and lifestyle make it possible for her to look. IP: Logged |

Capricorn rising I've heard.I have Saturn conjunct Asc. (just now dawned on me, during my 1st return), with Neptune opposite for illusory effect. I'd get slightly offended when I tell people my real age and they'd respond, "Really, I thought you were younger." These days I age up. "I'm 31." Most often I'm met w/ disbelief. This response is easier to swallow, as I'm indeed younger than that. IP: Logged |

My mom is a Cappy Rising and Moon and she looked amazingly young up until the last few years and her age started to catch up. I think stress is a part of the problem. Plus she was a smoker for years. Drinking she didn't do until she got older and she's a Wino. lolI am 27yrs old and look 16. I get carded for EVERYTHING! No joke! I got carded for buying a movie!! How sad. Cigarettes and Beer I understand but a MOVIE??? haha I'm a Scorp Rising Uranus Conj Asc and Neptune in the 1st. Cancer sun and Aries Moon. IP: Logged |

Gemini and Virgo rising, possibly Capricorn rising too. I've noticed several Sagittarius-influenced people staying young-looking as well. But a lot has to do with genes and habits (smoking, drinking, excercise, etc.).IP: Logged |

in my family all the women age well and looks at least to have less 10 years in their looks! This case is genetic and not astrology related cause we all have diferent placements( im talking about all of my 4 aunts,my cousins and my brothers) its really funny but i would prefer that when i have 40 to llook 30 than now that i have 24 years old and look like 18...

Your mum is spot on!!! Cappy placements definitely spring to mind. They're generally said to live longer than the rest of us aren't they? They've got that reverse ageing thing going on - slightly sombre in youth yet relaxed, sprightly and youthful as the years catch up with them. They have good bone structure too, so they probably would look damn fine as they get older!!! I agree with Gemini and Virgo as well - that mercurial influence is forever young. Sag makes sense - purely down to their positive attitude. And I reckon Leo, wouldn't let themselves age badly - HELL NO!!! IP: Logged |

everybody in my family has aspects of Moon or Sun to Neptune, it could be that.as far as stuff involving the Acendant. My Mom has Sun in Gemini with Mercury in Cancer in 1st as well as Jupiter in Cancer in 1st conjunct Ascendant in Sag. My maternal grandfather had Sun in Cancer conjunct Mercury in Gemini as well as Jupiter in Scorpio conjunct Ascendant in Scorpio. I have Virgo Ascendant with Jupiter in Sag square it. My maternal Aunt Isabel has Mercury conjunct Ascendant in Sagittarius,and she ages gracefully too. My maternal Uncle Eddie was carded at 34 years old and he has Sun conj Pluto in Virgo in 1st. My maternal Aunt Dede has Mercury semisextile Scorpio Ascendant with 3 minutes of arc with Moon in Sag in 1st conjunct the ascendant. My uncle Dino has Sagittarius Ascendant. BTW..almost everybody smoke and drink in my family. alcoholism runs in the family. A bunch of potheads too. I don't smoke,drink,nor use drugs. btw..I don't have any easy aspects to Saturn....my Saturn is very challenged with it being square Moon,oppose Jupiter-Neptune for t-square, quincunx Sun, and contraparallel Mercury,Venus,and Neptune, but I have a trine to Pluto in 1st. It's also conjunct my Midheaven. I really think that it's the Portuguese,Hispanic ancestry more than anything else. IP: Logged |

Interesting that Capricorn is mentioned so often - my Sag ascendant is late degree (28 degrees) so it's possible I have some Cappy influence as well. My bf is a Gemini stellium and at 36 he looks more like 30 to me and is sometimes mistaken by others as being in his 20's. IP: Logged |
