It's interesting observing the dynamic in families where parents are of the same sign, or element, as the child. Having a parent of the same sign does make things easier (depending on the sign in question), and inevitably leads to the drawing of comparisons between the parent and oneself! I always felt my Aries father understood me much more than my mother. It's also extra helpful if the parent is of the same sex as the child. Because the parents are head of the family, or leaders, for a certain number of years, it's fascinating to observe how the leadership dynamic develops. For example, my parents were Aries father/Sag mother, which meant that the focus was very much on achievement and appearances. They each had 4 planets in Taurus, so there was a strong focus on the material. I know an Aries/Leo couple who also place a lot of emphasis on achievement. They have Aries, Leo and Capricorn children, so that dynamic, on the surface, could probably be seen as pretty good all round. (Actually, the oldest child, the Leo, seems to have the most problems with it.) What does anyone think of the statement that certain signs tend to beget children of the same, or complementary, signs or elements? IP: Logged |

My mom is a Cancer Sun / Cancer Moon / Scorp rising. (Venus in Gemini - Merc in Gemini Sun in the 9th house)My Dad is a Capricorn Sun / Cancer Moon / Capricorn rising (Sun in the 1st house conjunct Ascendant and Venus in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn).He has Jupiter and Neptune in the 9th house. My brother and I are both Sagittarians. He has a Scorp moon / Pisces rising with his Sun in the 10th house (house of Cap), Venus in Aquarius, Mercury in Sag. I have an Aries moon / Virgo rising with my Sun in the 4th house (house of Cancer) Venus in Sagittarius and Mercury in Capricorn. My Leo grandmother lived with us, off and on, my entire life and did alot to raise us. She was our mother figure. Capricorn Moon / Mars in Sag, Venus in Virgo, Mercury in Leo. My brother and I really connected with her. She and my Leo grandfather had 3 children: Gemini, Cancer and Sagittarius. I didn't really understand my mom and dad - emotionally - all that water - even my brother's water moon was hard to deal with at times. Personality wise, I am very much like my father - who comes across as very Leo to me - his Sun in the first house really gives him that outgoing charm and he has Pluto in Leo as his only fire sign - Singleton in his 7th house.

Yes, I find it really quite interesting. I am a Scorpio with a Capricorn Moon, My mother is a Capricorn with her Moon in Scorpio My Father is a Scorpio Sun, with Libra Ascendant and Moon My Brother Capricorn with Aries Moon and Ascendant.That alone is interesting. My mom and I sextiling each other ( didn't always make for harmony) and And My Moon, which represents the mother, is my mother's Sun sign. My Sun is my father's Sun. My Brother's Ascendant and Moon oppose my Father's Ascendant and Moon, But their Suns sextile, like my mom's and I. ~More on Aries in my own family.~ My Son's father is an Aries sun, Taurus Moon. My Son is a Sagittarius with Aries rising(at 29` he was almost Taurus rising), and a Scorpio Moon ( more on the Moon representing the mom, and I'm a Scorpio, and more on the Moon opposing the father's Moon) My Husband ( his stepfather for six years now) Is an Aries Sun, with Sagittarius Ascendant, and a Capricorn Moon ( like me) So He both trines my son's Sun and Ascendant, and sextiles his moon, plus their Sun's are in each other's first house. My daughter (with my husband)is a Libra with Pisces rising and Gemini Moon. The correlation there is that my husband has Venus and Jupiter in Pisces, right on her Ascendant, and his Mars is in Gemini. Maybe she will go on to make an entirely new generation of correlations. Both my children have Venus in Scorpio, and my Son's chart is rich in Scorpio.. five.. more than me!!!! IP: Logged |

Well, my Mr. Taurus (not to be confused with Pid's) and I have a Libra and a Pices. Both little girls. Our Pices has a Scorp Moon and Saggie Ascendant. Our Libra child's Moon is in Gemini and has Leo for her Ascendant. Hubby's just barely in Taurus at 29.22 degrees, Libra Moon, Scorp Asc. I'm Libra/Cancer/Gem.Hubby understands our Libra daughter best. I understand our Pices best. I understand my little Libra very well, but he doesn't just understand her... he feels her, if you know what I mean. It's not an understanding, it's a KNOWing. The same is true for my little Pices baby and myself... except, Mr. Taurus just doesn't get her. There is no understanding. She is an enigma to him... but I FEEL her. I have the same KNOWing for her that he has for our little Libra. Maybe for Mr. Taurus and little Pices, things are just too muddy to see through? My Scorp/Scorp/Cappy mom and I don't understand eachother... nor have we ever gotten along very well. While my Cancer/Leo/Cappy (step) Dad and I have always gotten along famously. We understand eachother every well, and today are more like dear friends than father and daughter... although, I do call him up and cry to "Daddy" when I need to IP: Logged |

Good topic ... I would LOVE your thoughts on this.My family is not my family. No one thinks like me or feels like me or understands me. I'm a Libra with Cancer Moon, and a lot of Scorpio influences. No one, not even extended family, comes close. My mother is an ice cold Capricorn w/ Aqua Moon. The closest thing I have in common with her is a Jup & Sat in Cap, and an Aqua MC. My dad is a Pisces w/ Sag Moon. Closest thing I have in common with him is Chiron in Pisces. He's the most senstive one of the entire extended family, but has always been emotionally unavailable, a distant father in every way. In his mind, money makes up for his impotence as a father. I've always felt like an orphan, especially since about age 10, and I've been searching for surrogate family all my life. It's gotten me into trouble. So I'm hermit girl sometimes. Sorry, not much positivity here regarding all things 4th House, in which I have 4 planets. It's been a bittch of a life, although it seems I have so much to be grateful for. I destroyed the carrot.

I'm an Aqua Sun/Leo Moon/Gemini Rising.My mom, with whom I am extremely close, is a very warm and loving Aries Sun/Aqua Moon/Aqua Rising. My father is a Libra Sun/Pisces Moon (don't know his birthtime). An Aries and a Libra! is right. lol But my mom is not your typical Aries. She's very shy and soft spoken, and still has an innocent quality to her, kind of like a little girl. Her closest friend is a Leo. I have two brothers, with whom I am close with and continuing to build strong relationships with (it took a lot of growing up for all of us)- one brother is an Aries Sun/Capricorn Moon/Gemini Rising and the other is a Scorpio Sun/Libra Moon/Pisces Rising. The Aries brother is a firecracker alright. And combined with that fabulous Gemini Rising , he can talk talk talk about anything. He is amazingly sharp and witty. We had a 3 hour phone conversation the other day that started with "how's your day?" to the intricacies of our family to economics to politics to marriage to money...and so on and so on...and ended with talk about the rare lizard that was sitting outside his window. The Scorpio brother was the micheivous one. He's sarcastic, extremely witty and funny and very much a Libra Moon...never taking sides. We go to baseball games together and hang out. When you get the three of us together it's non-stop banter. We don't stop laughing. Both brothers used to have women falling head over heels for them and both married Cancer women. Edited to add: paternal grandparents-Grandfather was a Taurus with Libra Moon. Grandmother is a Leo with Libra Moon. My uncles are a Taurus and a Lubra Sun/Libra Moon. Taurus uncle has a Leo Sun/Libra Moon son. maternal grandparents-both Cappies who had two Aries kids. IP: Logged |

It's interesting how signs can repeat themselves. See, my husband's family are all very Airy/Watery. He: is an Aqua, with Moon in Leo and Scorpio rising. Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Pisces. So, quite a well-balanced chart from the point of view of elements. But - His mother: is a Cancer with Moon in Libra, Gemini rising and Venus in Leo. His father: is Gemini with Moon in Libra - and his stepmother is another Aqua. They ALL thrive on talking - a lot - except maybe for his Cancer mother. It's interesting analyzing this, because I've noticed - literally right NOW - that the Air/Water combinations probably work better with my planets in Pisces and Gemini, and Virgo Ascendant, than my parents' Fire/Earth combinations. They pander to my "mercurial" side. Air/Water is very flexible, likes to discuss things (even if they're Fixed Air/Water, like Aquarius and Scorpio - although these signs have a definite agenda, they are more amenable than one would think). I had a little bit of a shaky start with my in-laws but we are now on an "even keel"; I can relax quite well with them, which I couldn't with my parents, they always demanded I be on my best behaviour. My father: is an Aries Sun with Sag Moon, Libra rising and Venus and Mars in Taurus. My mother: is a Sag Sun with Taurus Moon, Leo rising and Venus and Mars in Scorpio. I: am an Aries Sun with Pisces Moon, Virgo rising, Venus in Pisces and Mars in Gemini. I think my parents' Taurus planets clashed with the Gemini and Pisces, they always found me weird, whereas I found them rather conventional and unwilling to experiment. They also didn't like things to be too complex, and were comfortable with routines, doing the exact same things year-in, year-out, which I found limiting (Mutable vs. Fixed signs?). I heard somewhere that a little of the essence of the parents' Sun signs will also be resident in the children, whatever sign they are. But is this just a little too much to take on board, when one has all the other aspects of the individual, not to mention the synastry, charts to take into consideration?

I'm Scorp Sun/Libra Moon/Cancer Asc Mom is Scorp Sun/Gemini Moon/Cancer Asc, Father is Sag (don't have exact birthtime)Scorp Moon & Venus Brother is a Sag (but my father isn't his bio father, however he did raise him). I think the universe takes care of these things - I've known several people who either gave birth extremely late or somewhat early and had they given birth at their 'due date' the sign totally would not have worked out as well. For ex. I have a gf, she's an Aries, hubby is a AQ, she was over a month late on baby #1, would have been a Scorp ended up being a Sag (not that Scorp wouldn't have gotten along w/ those parents, but not as well as the Sag), and baby #2 was quite a bit early, ended up being a Leo instead of a Virgo (which def. works better w/ the parental combo). I was born extremely late, and just made it past Libra by 4 days. My mom and I have always gotten on fairly well, except for a year or two at the height of puberty. I'd have to say she's my best friend. It brings tears to my eyes to even contemplate the concept of her not being around (dying). My father - I think we have a mutual respect, but he's not at all a typical Sag and is very hermit-like and not at all outgoing. He's very pragmatic and aloof. I actually thought for ages that he was a Cappy because he's right on the cusp and w/out the birthtime I was never sure. But according to astro.com he's 29 degrees Sag. It seems to me that the soul waits for that exact moment in time that will best help maximize this lifetime's lessons IMO. The universe takes care of these things But I feel very blessed that I am so close to someone whose aspects are so like mine (my mom). It's nice to feel understood (Esp. being a Scorp. since we often seem to feel somewhat removed from the whole) ------------------ “The good things which belong to prosperity are to be wished, but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.” Seneca IP: Logged |

We are all also air or fire signs in my family:mom: gemini dad: leo (those two are soul mates and the one can't exist without the other!!) Kid #1 (me hehe): gemini Kid #2: saggy Kid #3: libra Kid #4: cusp pisces/aqua (although I tend to think rather pisces...my sis is also the emotionally "odd one out" in the family) As to family dynamics, I'm the "black sheep"--but not in a bad way, just very different from the rest. I have a cappy 3rd house, and very much had to take care of the other 3 as I was growing up. My parents had us very young (Mom had 4 kids at age 21!! :O ), and we're all about 18 months apart. I am the typical first born "high acheiver", always good grade, no real trouble, studied, married "well" (hahhaha! a cappy! hehe), have a "cool" job etc. I get along great with my parents, have the feeling though that I have to "parent" them, if you know what I mean--I'm careful not to tell them the stuff that bothers me (would ruin their picture of my life lol), never forget a bday, anniversary, etc etc. Son Nr. 1, as my brother is called is VERY different from me. He would see himself as the black sheep, I would assume. He'll be 27 this year, still lives at home (last Easter he asked if he could stay a week--it's been a year and a half ). Typical Saggy, full of great ideas, enthusiasm, funny, but also aggressive, lazy (in the sense that he doesn't hold down one job, but on the other hand, when he DOES work, he works very hard and not afraid to get his hands dirty). All our kids (my son and nephews) LOVE their Uncle Randy--he himself is like an eternal kid, and he loves being around his nephews. Alhtough I have to always put my foot down, as he loves to roughhouse, eat McDonalds, would prolly give the kids beer if they asked for it, play Playstation etc... Son Nr. 2, the libra, is the LAZIEST person I have ever met. The absolutely most nicest, lovliest, well-meaning but LAZY person in the world lol. He is the definitive "middle child", relatively quiet, loner, somehow always a little lost. My favourite sibling. I understand where he's coming from, even if we don't have too much contact. Daughter Nr. 2, the "baby", we never found common ground, and to this day I seem to not be able to get over past anger at her. I think there's karma here, but don't know what. I feel very mis-understood with her, and I'm sure she feels the same with me. She's still at home at age 24 and I find that just horrid lol. Very non-independant, moody, brooding, sensitive, in a house where we all make jokes about each other, our favourite past-time being trying to get on each others nerves and throwing about funny insults, she has never dealt well with this, and so was very often the target lol...tja, I'm not so evolved as I'd like to be :shrug: My parents treat us all pretty much the same. Gemini mom (scorp. asc, virgo moon)raised us to be very independant, but never past our boundaries. Leo Dad, with libra Asc and leo moon, was harder to please, but the gentlest, most easy-going man in the world. The only real way to p*ss him off, is to make my mom mad lol...and with her having 5 fire planets, that doesn't take a whole lot! hehehe In my life, my hubby is a cappy, with gemini asc, libra moon. I'm a gemini with libra asc, and taurus moon. My son is a saggy with aqua asc (oh why God??? lol) and cappy moon. I definitely believe that horoscopes are influenced by the family as well. What I have noticed: my son has a very special relationship with my MIL: she is cappy with saggy asc and scorpio moon. With me, we talk and fight alot (I have jup/mars in aries, plus 2 other fire placings), but we have trouble understanding one another. Hubby finds it hard to be around him usually, because son a) talks too much (ever meet a silent saggy??) b) is very loud (VERY loud!) c) can't sit still and d) is very bossy and won't listen to the wise cappy man hehehehe. They do have power struggles, but my son usually gives in because he so wants to play with papi. So, sorry for the long post, I love talking about this! Nackie IP: Logged |

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I think this is pretty interesting.Me: Aries Sun/Sagittarius Moon/Virgo Rising Mother: Aries Sun/Leo Moon/Pisces Rising Father: Cancer Sun/Taurus Moon/Gemini Rising Mine and my mother's charts are quite similar. We both have fire Sun's and Moon's, air Mars's, and our Ascendant's oppose each other. My father on the other hand, has a very different chart from mine. Our Sun's square, our Moon's don't aspect each other (he always has been distant - both physically and emotionally), our Venus's square each other (again, lack of good feelings), and our Mars square each other. I think the only real thing we have in common in our chart is the fact that both of our Ascendant's are ruled by Mercury. I was lucky enough to be an only child, however. IP: Logged |

Dad - Sun Capricorn / Moon Sagittarius / Asc Libra Mum - Sun Pisces / Moon Pisces / Asc Scorpio Me - Sun Gemini / Moon Gemini / Asc Capricorn Bro1 - Sun Leo / Moon Gemini / Asc Aquarius Bro2 - Sun Aries / Moon Aquarius / Asc LibraWell, what can I say? Me and my mum are on COMPLETELY different wavelengths. I find her very shut-off from the world and hard to communicate with. She has played the victim all her life so I really had to be "the parent". I feel obligated to my mum because I see it as "my duty" . My dad has had loads of issues with violent temper so I was terrified of him as a kid and used to hide in my room a lot. Our relationship now is very superficial. He doesn't even try to be close and I don't push because he still has weird episodes. Brother 1 always acted like he was superior and he belittled me even though I was older. He was very sarcastic. We weren't close. Now, he lives hundreds of miles away and I only see him at Christmas. Brother 2 is an absolute sweetheart. We are extremely close. He is 11 years younger than me and Mum was very ill after he was born so I was like a second Mum to him. We see loads of each other.

Lots of cardinal/fire signs in my family, but doesn't work out very good.Me: Cap sun/moon/asc Mom: Cancer sun/ gem moon/scorp asc Dad: Gemini sun, don't know other info Grandmother: Aries sun/moon, gem asc Grandfather: Scorpio sun Haven't ever met my dad, don't get along too well with my mom either, grandpa's always been distant, which leaves my Aries grandma. Sure there's some explosive arguments, but we get along really well. Most of my friends have been from this sign as well. IP: Logged |

Dad: Leo sun / Aries moon Mom Leo sun / Aries moon Me: Cancer sun / Taurus moon Sister: Leo sun / Taurus moonI was definitely the odd one out in my family. Fortunately my mom was born on July 24 so she was just shy of being a Cancer / Leo cusp. We aren’t always on the same wavelength but I know she understands me and we communicate amazingly well (we both have Leo Mercury’s).
