I found two different sources from Islamic astrology, one mentioned it happens in Gemini and the other in Capricorn. In the case of celebrities, I have noticed that with Mercury in Capricorn, the person could be inclined toward a noticeably younger partner.

I haven't noticed anything specific about Mercury in Gemini.

What are your thoughts on Mercury's exaltation and its potential connection to youthfulness?

Bradley Cooper(Capricorn Sun, Mercury) is dating Gigi who is 20 years younger. However, it’s pretty common in Hollywood.
Jeff Bezos (also Capricorn Sun and Mercury) dating a woman in her 50s is more anomalous nowadays🙂

I think with Mercury there is something related to youthfulness either in one's self or the other half. I would argue that dating a younger partner is not related to fame or Hollywood or gender.

Nothing stands out tbh. But I think that even though these people I attract are young. They still embody the spirit of my Ven-Sat conj I.e. they are mature.

I don't attract the type that are "young" mentally. Most of those I dated (even though younger than me) were very together and responsible. Some achieved more than I did at their age.

I think "youth" is spirit more than age i.e. someone with Mars/ Mercury in 7th house,may be attracted to young people that are "hip" and "happening".

Henry Cavill has Venus in Gemini. And he seems to like dating really young women. So I think Venus in Gemini actually likes young people or those "young" at heart.

My friend has this placement and he is a bit of an ageist. Doesn't like "old" (40+) people at all. Says that they are "boring" . Because he still wants to do young stuff like clubbing and going to concerts to watch trending musicians perform.

Sun,Moon,Venus in Gemini seem to like literal young people.

#I looked at DiCaprio's chart (known for dating young women). He has 5th house co-ruler(Uranus) conj Merc. Mars (ruler of the 7th) is in the same house as Sun and Venus.

This is a man who dates younger women.
I think he purposely goes after "air heads" because he knows that he will not commit.

But once they reach a certain age, he is known to dump them. Why? I think it is because he realizes that they are at the baby-making stage and want something more serious. And Leo can't offer that.

Sat has a square aspect to Moon. Saturn (ruler of 5th house) is in Cancer in house 10. His career is everything to him.

Sun burns Venus(Sun conj Ven) and joins with Mars (in house 2) which would make him very self centred and not someone you want to tie "Daddy" duties to.

I suspect that if he does get married(if ever) and has children,the kids will embody Saturn energy i.e. they will have to learn to grow up independent of him. He won't win "Father of the year".

Add to that,the type of woman he marries must be the the type who will not be burned by Sun/Mars(ego) combo. She'll likely be Saturnian or Jupitarian. The independent type too. Mark my words☝🏿

Great points!

It was cool to read about your take on Gemini Mercury and the need to be connected to the "hip and the happening".

Interesting you mentioned Leo, looking at his chart I expected a prominent Uranus or Aquarius, because he seem to be able to relate to both much older people and younger. A while back I saw a video of a teenage Leo dominating the conversation with this controversial Hollywood producer. And if you look at his work from when he was a child, he gives off this old soul vibe.

I am not sure if his is particularly strong. Aquarius rules his 5th house and he has mercury conjunct Uranus.

I know this cool church lady who looks a lot more modern for her age. Her body and fashion sense look like that of a 25 year-old! She and her husband (both Libra suns) host parties for younger people pretty regularly. And they also have an adopted child. I looked up her chart (because she just happened to reveal her age and her birthday without me even asking lol), and she's got Mercury in Virgo and moon in Cap. She said she likes being around younger people because they keep her young. Her husband is 10 "days" younger and they have been married for almost 40 years. She seemed to like bringing it up.

Yes I believe so. They also used solar calender (new year starting when the Sun enters 0 Aries).

In Islamic esoteric and particularly Shia faith, from which Islamic astrology and much of the modern astronomical calculations emerged from the scientists and scholars of that age, there are special prayers to God on the day of Sun exaltation (19 Aries).

They engrave 13 great names of God in the divine books (5 words from the Quran, 4 words from the Torah and 4 words from the Bible) on a piece of yellow agate at the exact moment when the Sun enters Aries. And they believe wearing it makes one's life easier.

I have Gemini planets, and don’t go for younger men. Just going off what Aries said above. I suppose that could change. people used to think I was younger than I am. Someone thought I was a lot younger. I’m not into older men, either. Never have been.

Haha I think your Gemini energy shows. You do seem to have up to date information on different topics. Do you have your moon or Mercury there?

Another celeb with a much younger partner is Cher (moon in capricorn). And she has her mercury in Taurus tightly trine her moon in Capricorn.

Hmmmm....that's interesting. I would like to see the chart of this woman. Most Moon Cap people (barring other aspect consideration) tend to not like young people. They label them as too "immature ".

But then again, some Gemini folks (which is often an energy of someone young and
playful) are very charming. And they do help to offset the Cap Moon's depressive spells.

Cher has Moon in Cap. But she is not your typical "Grandma". She has Venus in Gem/Uranus conj( is open to dating younger men or those "young at heart"). She once dated Tom Cruise.

Yeah. Looking "young" may have you getting hit on by young people. You may not go "after" them. But they may find you attractive. Why ? They often assume you are their age /level.

This could actually also be the reason that Cap placements may attract young people.Sat slows the aging process. So Cap placement people can also look "young" or have a certain sex appeal that young people find attractive I.e. "Cougar" or "Dzaddy" vibes etc.

I find Gemini placements either date young OR those young "at heart". I know a Gem Ven who loves jokes that have a lot of puns in them or those that use social trends to highlight societal ironies.

To be able to get the jokes, you must be clued up on trends. And most Venus in Gemini are clued up on what's happening in society (from a social perspective). So they'll get the references.

The people who will also understand these references, are young people. Because in this era, things are centralized around youth culture I.e. whether it's hip-hop beef, Taylor Swift concerts OR Tik-tok dancing etc.

Comedy is very Gemini/Mercury in essence. If you don't know what happening in the world around you or celeb culture.You will not connect.

I (for instance) realized how "old" I am (and perhaps "irrelevant"😂 when I only heard about the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar (I think) ,AFTER the dust settled.
