Just a little shameless plug—yes, I fall into this millennial time frame, so of course, I’m going to blog about it! There’s a common trend among my peers: we’re not exactly looking our age… and honestly, we’re not acting like it either.
I recently rewatched the iconic film Waiting to Exhale and realized the women in the movie were in their 30s. And let me tell you—those 30s do NOT feel like the same 30s I’m living in. Am I wrong?! We do not have it figured out. We aren’t so focused on romanticizing our love stories (well, some of us). We sure aren’t scorned women. Many of us just starting “growing” up!
Have you ever noticed that millennials born between 1985 and 1990 seem to age at a slower pace? Whether it’s their youthful glow, energetic presence, or ability to blend seamlessly across age groups, there’s something unique about this micro-generation. While skincare, lifestyle choices, and genetics play a role, astrology and esoteric wisdom offer a deeper, more mystical explanation.

Let’s explore how planetary influences, generational energy, and spiritual insights contribute to their ageless aura.
1. Neptune in Capricorn (1984–1998): The Ageless Discipline
Neptune, the planet of mysticism, illusion, and timelessness, was in Capricorn during this period. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of longevity and resilience, meaning this generation was spiritually wired to withstand aging in a disciplined way.
- Neptune in Capricorn blurred traditional boundaries of time, making this group naturally inclined toward long-term stability, wellness, and self-preservation.
- Many born in this era have an innate sense of responsibility when it comes to maintaining their health and appearance, often blending practicality with spirituality.
2. Pluto in Scorpio (1983–1995): Masters of Regeneration
Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, and transformation, was in its home sign of Scorpio during this time—an astrological powerhouse for deep healing and renewal.
- Scorpio energy thrives on transformation, making those born in this period naturally inclined to regenerate and heal from within.
- This generational placement fosters intensity and resilience, slowing down the visible effects of aging.
3. Saturn’s Influence: Early Hardship, Later Preservation
Many born between 1985–1990 experienced Saturn in Sagittarius or Capricorn during their formative years, meaning they encountered discipline, structure, and responsibility early in life.
- Saturn governs aging, and those who face its lessons early often become more graceful as they grow older.
- The ability to endure hardship young often translates into a well-preserved appearance later in life.
4. Uranus in Sagittarius & Capricorn: The Balance of Youthful Rebellion & Structure
- Uranus in Sagittarius (1981–1988): Those with this placement have an adventurous, free-spirited nature that keeps them young at heart.
- Uranus in Capricorn (1988–1995): These individuals were early adopters of longevity-focused habits, fitness trends, and biohacking techniques, making them more mindful of aging.
The mix of rebellion and structure means this generation embraces both fun and discipline—two key ingredients in maintaining youthfulness.
5. Esoteric & Spiritual Perspective: The Last “Pre-Digital” Generation
- This group grew up in a world that still valued in-person connection, outdoor play, and minimal screen exposure during childhood—unlike later generations immersed in digital overstimulation.
- Many born in this window carry “old soul” energy, focusing on internal wisdom and spiritual growth, which helps them maintain a radiant, youthful presence.
They Not Like Us
Astrologically, millennials born between 1985 and 1990 have a unique blend of discipline (Capricorn), regeneration (Scorpio), and youthful freedom (Sagittarius & Uranus influences) that contributes to their slower aging process. This powerful combination helps them navigate the physical and energetic aspects of longevity better than some other generations.
