The only thing I found was very negative!

Listen to this:

- Saturn opposition Saturn:

What does it mean to your relationship when your natal Saturn is in opposition to your partner’s Saturn? This is considered to be a very difficult relationship aspect. Each individual is living out a different life path. Two old souls meet upon a dusty road. “I am going to climb the mountains of the West.” “I am going to cross the desert in the East.” Whether they pass in moments, or share stories through the night, neither will make further progress along their chosen path until they separate and move on.

I do share this aspect with my 15 years younger boyfriend!!

First very happy that his sun in scorp is conjunct my moon (2 degr.) and now.....

Is it really so bad as it seems??
Or is there still hope....

But like coffee says, this is just one aspect in a bigger picture.

What else is on the charts? Are other planets involved in the opposition? For example, if one of you has Sun Trine Saturn that could mean that it interacts with the other chart and eases up the tension.

His Saturn trine my Sun (2 degr.)
His Saturn square my Mercurius (5 degr.)

These are the only peronal planets involved.

By the way, de opposition was 5 degr.

What kind of unique issues pop up in a relationship with an age gap that wide? If you're talking about a 15 year old and a 30 year old, what kind of issues do you think they deal with? Control, wisdom, generation gap, maturity vs. immaturity, etc.

Now let's say the couple is 25 and 40. Does the 40 year old partner worry about the 25 year old partner and what they are possibly ready for in terms of commitment, responsibilities, settling down? Does the 25 year old feel inexperienced compared to the 40 year old? What are the gender politics involved at that age? Parental issues with the 25 year old, how does that person's family of origin factor into the young person's decision to be in relationship with someone much older, and vice versa?

A couple who is 50 and 65. Are the pressures less at this point? One is ready for retirement, does this matter for either of them? Most of life has been lived already, it's easier to see eye to eye at this point.

I don't think there's much more to it than recognizing the life cycle differences. Some people can deal with them and some people can't. If you're dealing with them well, then I wouldn't worry Saturn opposite Saturn. It's just an indicator.

What issues have popped up for you and your partner in regard to age? Was it a problem for either of you or was it a problem for society?
