There are 2 guys I know, whose birthday happen to be very close together, but are from completely different backgrounds and are in completely different professions. They don't know eachother, but both act like frat boys, and they are almost 40 yrs old.

What in a chart shows immaturity, and the resistence to "growing up"?

Mars in Sagittarius produces some of the highest levels of physical energy and enthusiasm. The mental and emotional side seems to function fine as well, but unfortunately, this is not the most practical of Mars positions.

In Sagittarius, Mars often produces strong philosophic convictions. You are one to stand up and fight for any cause you believe in. The sense of justice is very strong. Your idealistic motives always seek to be improving society and those individuals in your immediate environment.
You are an outspoken debater, often lacking diplomacy or appreciation of the opinions of opponents. Nonetheless, your ever-cheerful presence makes you welcome in any social gathering. For you it is unrestricted freedom at all cost, with rhythm and tempo that comes naturally to you. You are a person with a zest for adventure and having a good time. You have trouble sitting still for very long, and you want to be on the move physically.
The hallmark of this position is the feeling that you are invincible. Your irrepressible confidence and optimism usually gets you through tough times. You may have been born under a lucky star. You often succeed because you don't think much about failing. In many respects you are a born gambler.

Mars in Sagittarius is not known for being particularly constant in love relationships. You approach sex as though it was a sport, and it's hard to tie you down to one person. You may be afraid of serious love affairs and being "trapped" in a relationship. This is a position that really likes sex, but at times can be too bold or crude in asking for it.

One has a T-Square with Moon/Mercury/Saturn. There is a challenge in expressing true feelings somewhere hidden in that configuration.

The other has a Conjunction with Moon/Uranus. They need space. Square Venus.

Why do a lot of Aquarians prefer not to commit to relationships? Is it because of the loss of freedom?

I think Aquarians have the right idea about relationships, mostly... it's just the partners they draw and are drawn to are maybe insecure and can't handle anything less than 24/7 care and love to fill the "needy" void.

i pretty much agree with lara, aquarian love which is so often labelled committment shy is really very "advanced" "un-needy" and refreshing. not everyone's first priority is permanent hooking up...or being "there" for you 24/7 - in some cases it is the left-behind who need to do the growing up...

This has nothing to do specifically with Aquas, it just happened to be that both those guys were. I'm not quite sure if I agree that an "un-needy" person, or one that does not prioritize "permanent hooking up" can necessarily be called "advanced". I think there are better qualities in a person that would make for an advanced human being such as the strength of their character, or their ability to love.

Personally I think all humans need other people, it's how we are made. It just depends on the extent that a person needs the other. If one can't function without the other, maybe they are of "lesser" advancement and should work on themself a little more, but if the definition of needy is missing a person you love because you haven't seen them for a few days, or wanting to hear the voice of the man you love so you call him to talk, (for no specific reason)or want to spend time together, then i don't think it's necessarily a bad or "lesser" thing. That is how a lot of women are, (We are made to be more emotional than men) and I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

I think a woman can be independent and have her own life, but still want a man to share her life with, and share her love with. Being a "man" has nothing to do with their ability to settle down and have a family. It's about someone who can be willing to "share" part of themselves with you, someone who can love unconditionally, and give instead of expecting you to do all the giving and sharing, with nothing in return.

I think people feel that marriage is the logical next step after being together for a certain amount of time, and conform to that, instead of customizing their relationships to work for them as individuals even if it goes against society.

New York is filled with so many people, and is one of the most exciting cities to be in, but there are times it just gets very lonely. Not because I need someone to fill an empty space in me, but because making real human connections is part of our basic nature. A lot(not all) of the male/female connections that happen here are very superficial. It's like a bunch of people with relationship ADD.
I'm beginning to see my Taurus Venus coming out in this post. LOL.

This post was inspired by witnessing so many men who are just happy with superficial connections, and their unwillingness to open themselves up to the possibility of anything deeper. (It actually freaks them out to the point where they run from it.) I'm a triple Gem, I like and need my space, but I will admit that at the core of my being, I really want any connection I make to have depth and longevity. If that makes me needy, so be it.

(1) being an Aqu and being independent but even more telling...

(2) The second house, house of values, is both on Gemini with Mercury both in the 10th - prominent and angular

The Saigon born PP has Mars in Aries in the 2nd which Aries is also a young sign but he also has Mercury in the 10th! And surprise, Neptune, ruler or the second is conjunct Mercury in the 10th.
