Ripening with age: women feel they are sexiest at 34

In Astrology, the two female planets are Venus and Moon. Venus rules over Taurus and Libra while Moon over Cancer only. Venus is young in age and represents the behavior of a young lady while Moon due to attainment of motherhood represents middle aged lady. Libra being the 7^th sign of the Zodiac represents the romantic character of Venus. Therefore, considered from Libra, the 5^th sign is Aquarius ruled by Saturn and an aged personality while the 7^th sign is Aries ruled by Mars, a young planet. 5^th house represents romance including physical charm while 7^th house represents lust. So, for a young Venus, young Mars is more appealing than Saturn. When the lady has attended motherhood its characteristics are transferred to Cancer for which the 7^th lord being also Saturn but 5^th lord is young Mars. For a Libra native, the 5^th lord Saturn becomes debilated in 7^th and in such a case the function of 7^th lord Mars is more prominent i.e. lust and romance become more operative at young age. But for a Cancer native the 5^th lord Mars becomes exalted in 7^th while the 7^th lord becomes weak in the 5^th. Therefore, for a middle aged lady the lust and romance become stronger than that of young aged. So, this research work is supported by astrological reasoning.
