Besides the part about my Saturn return comming up, I am soooo looking forward to getting older. I really think about it all the time and can’t wait. Is that a common characteristic for people with moon in Capricorn?

Very apropos on the Capricorn message. I just began working for a capricorn man (last time I worked for a cappy he had neptune going over his sun oppose my moon… I idealized him hugely until his pot smoking began to make him just seem silly. Today I’m fully remembering how much a Cap values his/her respect and power: I had already decided I would take off early to enjoy my bday and he emailed to say as I token of his appreciation he would LET me leave early! Ahhhh…. this could be interesting!

Feh – maturity, take it or leave it. I voted it’s just about rightly rated.

There’s a big culture of respect for maturity here in the Appalachians – listen to and respect your elders ’cause they’ve been there and lived it, don’t act like such a child, take responsibility for your own, etc. But sometimes age is just age and not wisdom or maturity and I’ve met plenty of forty year-olds (and up) who were less mature than I. And if people think being mature is not having fun and only dealing with the “real problems” of life, then who needs it or them?
But I do agree that the time for looking up to people for no good reason and endlessly degrading your experience by trying to look like you’re still in your twenties needs to end. Enough’s enough.
