Here&#8217;s how it usually goes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLIENT:<\/strong> I just don&#8217;t get it! He&#8217;s so nice, thoughtful, kind, intelligent, sexy&#8230; but I should run like hell!<\/p>\n<p><strong>ME:<\/strong> That&#8217;s funny, you two look pretty compatible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLIENT:<\/strong> We are&#8230; but he&#8217;s so<em> young<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>Over the years I&#8217;ve noticed more and more clients facing exactly this sort of situation, where a five year (or more) age gap is making the client nervous. The only thing that really surprises me that much is when the younger party is the <em>female<\/em>, as was once traditionally the case.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of women out there are worrying their relationships to death over an age gap. Maybe they&#8217;re afraid they&#8217;re going to look <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elpasotimes.com\/news\/ci_7077144\">like this weirdo.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve decided that something is a problem, it becomes more of a problem, whether it&#8217;s <em>really<\/em> a problem or not. If your boyfriend forgets your birthday, it&#8217;s because men are often thoughtless with that sort of thing. But if your <em>much-younger<\/em> boyfriend does the same thing&#8230; <em>he&#8217;s<\/em> an immature punk and <em>you<\/em> should know better.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to comparing two people in a relationship, astrologically, age shouldn&#8217;t be a factor. If someone&#8217;s Ascendant is conjunct your Venus, you&#8217;re going to think that person is cute, whether he or she is an infant or elderly or anything in between. <\/p><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<br \/>\nSometimes an age gap can even be beneficial in a relationship. A five year gap can lead to one person&#8217;s Saturn sextiling the other&#8217;s. A nine or ten (or 18-20) year age difference can make for two Saturns that trine each other. A fourteen year gap can make for a Saturn opposition&#8230; something that makes most Western astrologers nervous, but ask any Vedic astrologer (the people who have been hooking up arranged marriages for the last thousand years, by the way) what he\/she thinks of it.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<br \/>\nFurthermore, if you have a Saturn-ruled 5th or 9th House, or Saturn in those houses in your birth chart&#8230; you might find an age difference in your love life entirely to your liking.<\/p>\n<p>Saturn may not be the most romantic planet out there, but it can lend an incredible degree of support and durability to a relationship. And too often good relationships fall apart for a lack of it.<\/p><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know what to ascribe this trend towards &#8220;older-women&#8221; relationships to that I&#8217;ve seen in the last decade or so. Something in the water? Some kind of MILF virus? Beats me. All I know is that, when all is said and done, when there&#8217;s difficulties in a relationship because of an age gap, the age gap itself is rarely the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Or as you might put it to your potential future in-laws: &#8220;I&#8217;m not robbing the cradle, he\/she&#8217;s robbing the grave&#8230;&#8221; <\/p><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:chironboy@gmail.com\"><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><br \/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/matthewastrology.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/about-readings.html\" >I&#8217;m available for readings.
