What aspects or planetary configurations would make someone completely turned off by large differences in age?I know for myself I can't seem to bring myself to date anyone more than a couple years older, there's just no attraction to that sort of age difference whatsoever. And I also don't see myself ever going the cougar route/for a younger man. IP: Logged |

Maybe a lack of saturn placements would make you uncomfortable about the age difference. I have Venus in Gemini opposite Uranus as well I am fine with a age gap so long as they look young.....kinda shallow I know. But I also have Sun and Jupiter opposite Saturn.IP: Logged |

relating to ail and peach, I have venus sq uranus and I admire ppl who are in successful relationships w/ age gaps. Uranus is unique and quirky afterall I also think my juno-saturn conjunction makes me attracted to older men. Now for the ppl that don't.. maybe Sun/Moon/Jupiter to Venus. Do you have any of these aspects aqua? IP: Logged |

Exactly! As long they look younger. Right now I am seeing someone who is 13 years older than me. But he looks about 7 years older than my age. The age really doesn't bother me. I also don't care what people say. I am confident so I couldn't care less. He is coincidentally more attractive than guys I usually go for. He's a dupe for Curtis Stone from Top Chef Masters but hotter. And just as tall As far as he goes (since he doesn't seem to mind either) his Venus is in Aqua in his 1st trine his Uranus. And Uranus is his chart ruler PS I also have Venus opposite Saturn. And Neptune In general - id rather date up about 6 years. This is an exception IP: Logged |

I have a conjunction in sun, Venus and Jupiter, yes.
The oldest I would date would probably be 5 years older than myself, 6 if he looks really young. Walter Pullen says I have "Venus midpoint Saturn in Capricorn."

Interesting Oh, I didn't think of the midpoint does your venus-saturn in cap make an aspect w/ any of your planets as well? IP: Logged |

Well, I will be the first man to chime in I have found that I can be attracted to women up to 10-15 years older than me. I think it is their confidence, and their experienced nature. My only worry is that they may not seriously respect me as a man, which I would not tolerate . Mostly I don't really care about age that much . ------------------ Leo Sun, Scorpio Moon, Aquarius ASC, Year of the Earth Snake "The Manticore is a mythological creature that is half-lion and half-scorpion."

^ I disagree. Generally the man is older than the woman, but even with that I have seen many successful relations with big age gaps (+10) ex: Celine Dion and Rene, Catherine zeta and her husband, Woody Allen and Soon yi. I don't have strong Saturn in my chart though, mostly makes minor aspects: aqua 11h trine Venus (5d), quintile mars, and semi-square mercury IP: Logged |

Venus in aspect to Pluto is supposed to not care about age differences at all or at least not let age be a deciding factor. Saturn is said to be comfortable with an older partner or being the older partner. I'm having a think abut this one...I can't see why any issue can't be overcome if the feelings are there. But then I have Venus con Pluto... IP: Logged |

I am dating someone who is 26 years older! I admit I wish he was more like 10 years older but we have a surprising amount in common. People who have no idea about our relationship like to roll their eyes and assume its for the money. Well yes and no. But things are not so black and white. My Saturn is in the first and I have venus conj pluto so I am attracted to powerful types and those tend to be older ------------------ sun/moon/venus/pluto in scorpio with jupiter in the 8th IP: Logged |

i am dating someone 10 years older and have always dated older men, by about 6 years or more. even in my early 20s i was dating 30 year olds +. i attribute it to strong saturn aspects, and a capricorn/mature moon. i need the maturity/stability that older men bring me. and, no daddy issues - i have a great father, so they aren't substituting for him :-)IP: Logged |

Do you have Capricorn on the DSC?

My partner is a couple years younger, and we are always told that I am the one who appears younger and is more youthful in personality. Younger men have always flocked to me, perhaps because Mercury rules my DSC. I'm thinking my partner loks/acts older due to his Saturn in the 1st.Ironcially, I am actually attracted to older established men (venus sextile saturn?). Right now I'm super mesmerized by my hot Scorpio mentor, who is about 15 years older. Of course the attraction is jsut that, and I wouldn't act on it as we are both attached, but if we were single that would be a different story. There is just something incredibly sexy about older, sophisticated men who take care of themselves. Brings me to imagine all that patience, consideration, and experience is put to good use in many ways =) In a nutshell, as long as there is attraction and a bond, I wouldn't rule someone out due to age difference.

I'll be the second man to contribute. I have all sorts of Saturn placements and I'll be far too self-conscious to date significantly younger. Of course, I'm human and the attraction is there, but I would prefer to just keep it to myself lol I'm not some craddle robber! My wife is 5 years younger.The other issue is having things/issues/likings/hobbies/conversation topics in common. It's all fine until either party opens its mouth. "Look, I'm talking about mutual funds, not mutual fun " Notwithstanding that, I look and behave much younger than I actually am. IP: Logged |

I don't get why people have hang ups about age differences. I mean yeah, if it's like 30-40 years or something (though that was roughly Cary Grant and his last wife's age gap and as far as I know, they were happy), I could see that, but if it's less, I don't see what the big deal is, as long as both people have good intentions and are over 20. Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas are another age gap couple that are apparently happy together. It can work sometimes. IP: Logged |

Personally I think Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas relationship worked out because of their "Selene and Endymion" and "Arthur and Guinevere" asteroids, heavily influence on age, status differences. IP: Logged |

Interesting. I know the Arthur ones but what do the other ones mean? That is fascinating

Selene was the goddess of the moon that fell in love with the mortal Endymion( and he fell in love with her) who was a shepard/astronomer but he was also a son of Zeus. Because She fell so deeply in love with him she asked Zeus to put him into a eternal sleep because he was mortal and would die. Once in the eternal sleep he stayed the same age forever and never died, she stayed by his side and visited him in his dreams. She ended up baring him 50 daughters. IP: Logged |

^ if that's case maybe there could be a factor of unacceptance by friends, families, and society in general. Especially when the older person can easily get the reputation of a "craddle robber" or "pedophile" despite the younger one being of legal age. It's just like in the 1960's when there were hardly any interracial relationships, even after it was legalized. Maybe most of them didn't get married because there loved ones wouldn't even show up to the wedding. Just a thought. Though the negativity towards interracial relations has faded, I think age-gaps and even homosexuality is still a big issue for a lot of people today. Overall, it's bad enough for someone to call you out of your name because of your culture or sexuality, but to be labled as a "molester" even if there not because there with someone (over 18) is the most degrading...Who wants to deal with that? I've seen this first hand with my friend and her ex who was 12 years older than her. So yea, maybe that's why is works out for a 40yr old woman w/ a +50yr old man. IP: Logged |
