Ok, take note of the next three threads -

http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/017328.html
Leo girl in her late teens and Aries guy in his 40s

http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/018443.html
Sag girl in her 20s and Leo guy in his 40s

http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/018131.html

Aries girl 20s and Leo guy 40s. This one is definitely never going to happen.. but the attraction is there.

I just think it's a little odd.. Is there some transit going on this month to account for this?
I'm a lot like the triple Gem girl who posted in the second thread, in the sense that I've never even thought of liking someone older.

Any ideas what's going on?

Yeah, my ex Sag is 29 and in May began dating a Virgo, and I believe he is in his late 40's.

Her 7th house is Virgo, and it is conjunct Saturn. Saturn being a planet of generation gaps and particularly connected to fatherly roles, conjunct her house cusp of partnerships, therefore gives me a strong feeling the two of them are very much destined for something quite serious together.

Her Saturn (affinity with career), while conjunct the 7th house cusp, is actually in the 6th, the house of work. Now experiencing her Saturn return (again, she is 29 years old), it was at her job where they are both employed, that they met, began dating, and still work together in rather symbiotic professional roles.

I don't know if there is any connection with the other cases of the "older man" fever that's been going around, but Saturn is transiting my 5th house right now. Saggitarius is on my 5th house's cusp, but the majority of my 5th house is in Capricorn.

This older guy I went out with (that I am strangely attracted to despite our age difference) is a Sag Sun, and Mercury/Venus/Mars in Capricorn. He also has his natal Saturn in Aqua which is the ruler of my 7th House.

Any connection there?

Furthermore, while not much of an age gap, I recently had a Sagittarius confess a bunch of feelings for me. I'm 25 and she is 19 and it seems much of her attraction to me is based on how she views me as a man of maturity.

Yet another Sagittarius girl in my life! I really find it fascinating how Sagittarius girls seem to constitute half of the women I attract. I knew she was always attracted to me and when I correctly guessed her Sun Sign one night at work together, it really blew her mind (but it turns out she is Sagittarius Rising too, so it really was easy for me to pick up all of the Sagittarius).

Though I've stated it in previous posts, I have a theory that because I'm a Scorpio (Mars being Scorpio's traditional ruler) with my own Mars in Capricorn, I tend to attract either older women or girls looking for father figures.

In particular, I've had a lot of "father figure" attention from women born between late 1988 through 1989 (whether or not there is any romantic attraction), seemingly beginning when Saturn entered Capricorn. There is something strange about their Capricorn Saturn in conjunction with my Capricorn Mars.

GemGemGem- I don't understand. Saturn is currently in Virgo, so if your 5th house is comprised of Sag and Cap, how can Saturn be currently transiting that house?

I have a Sagittarius 5th house cusp, like you, and the current Saturn in Virgo is transiting through my 2nd house. (And I really feel it. Saturn signifies loss, and the 2nd house is possessions, and I've been liquidating all sorts of assets; my truck, my motorcycle, guitars, other music equipment... I just don't feel the need for these objects right now. I'd rather save up some money.)

Oops, I got Saturn confused with my transiting Pluto. Nevermind the whole Saturn in 5th House thing. LOL.

I have Saturn transiting my first house right now, and it's definitely a time for some painful soul searching.

I know Saturn is supposed to be the teacher, but sometimes I wonder why Saturn transits always have to teach us lessons through pain and loss?

Thanks for the correction Scorpionic Web!

GemGemGem- Regardless, it really seems that the 5th house is indeed so potent for attraction. I know it depends on which house system one uses, but with 5th house Sag, I should assume you are a Leo Rising? Sure feels like Leo Rising definitely gives quite an extra kick to that 5th house, considering the affinity between Leo, the Sun (hence Ascendant) and the 5th.

Scorpionic Web,

Yes, unfortunately that extra "kick" makes me gravitate towards anyone with a prominent Saj in their chart. Put me in a room full of people and I will gravitate towards the only Sag in the room without even knowing.

What's strange is that even though my 5th house cusp in on Sag, the majority of the house is in Capricorn. The men who tend to gravitate towards me usually have a lot of Capricorn or Aqua (my 7th house)in their charts.

Do you find that people are "attracted to", or "attract" the qualities of their 5th and 7th house?

GemGemGem- I'm glad you asked, I've been wondering that exact question for quite a while. I have a few thoughts on this, but so far my personal results seem somewhat inconclusive.

One point of view is, since the houses are established by the Ascendant, then therefore everything that follows is a result of how people "see us", which would support that I pull in Saggies with my 5th house.

Now, if the Descendant marks the beginning of the partner in one's life, then one's 11th house would become the symbolic 5th house of their partner. This supposes our "Hopes and Wishes" (11th) we have for another individual's expression of "Sex, Love, Creativity" (5th). So, this too suggests that we attract the people who have a strong vibe to our 5th house, because oppositely, it is shown that we are being attracted to the affinities of our own 11th house placement.

However, this idea fails when I consider my own dating life. While I am often very attracted physically to Gemini girls (my 11th house), I have been completely turned off by their words and actions. I have never dated, nor wanted to date, any Gemini girl I've known. Certainly not suggesting my supposed "Hopes and Wishes" for a partner.

Neither have I ever dated an Aquarius (my 7th house), again, for many of the same reasons that I've never dated a Gemini.

I can only assume that my abundance of Scorpio just can't handle them.

Still, I should say that my most profound loves (obsessions, really) have always been largely cerebral and with "thinking" women. I've been told that I detach myself during arguments and become "cold" when conflicts arise. Perhaps my Libra Moon in the 3rd house relies too much on ideas that I end up squashing the feelings of more emotionally sensitive women. As a Scorpio I feel I truly embody hot passion with cold calculation.

Back to Aquarius, I believe I attract a good number of them, but they're so strange to all of my scorpionic ways that I just can never tell. Uranus, naturally, is the ruler of my 7th house, and is also the only planet that favorably aspects my Leo Ascendant, with a wide orb (6 degree) seperating trine. (Mercury is the only other planet that forms a major aspect to my Asc, and it is in an applying 6 degree square).

With Sagittarius, I would say ultimately that I attract more Saggies than I am attract to. But often the attraction is mutual. I've had a lot of stimulating synastry with Saggies, with the current Sag being perhaps the most profound. I think I could write a small book based on the wild aspects between her and I, unfortunately, not likely for the better.
