Does anyone else have this happen?

My father has a Cancer sun and Libra ascendant, and the guy I'm interested in has a Libra sun (in the 4th house) and Cancer ascendant. They both have air sign moons. They both have Mars in Libra. They both have their N. Node in Aries within 1 degree of each other. They both have "bucket" shaped charts, with Jupiter at the handle.

It's actually freaking me out a little bit. Is this a common thing to have happen- gravitating towards people with similar placements as one of your parents?

Very interesting. Maybe it is the Cancer father effect. I know an Aries female who is wild about Cancer men, and when I mentioned "Hey, isn't your dad a Cancer?", she admitted to being very attracted to traits exhibited by her father.

My bf's mother is a Sag with Scorpio ascendant, and I have a Sag ascendant and Scorpio moon. We are very similar!

My dad is a Scorpio (don't know his other placements) and my bf has Jupiter in Scorpio, 8th house (singleton). So there's definitely something in it.

It could even be said that I bear a resemblance to my bf's mother (people actually have said it) and that my bf bears vague resemblance to my dad... freaky or what!

Lets see, this makes sense I guess..My grandfather who I adored was a Aries Sun and Taurus moon..This particular guy that I am still so crazy for has a Aries moon and Mars in Taurus there is so much of a similarity between them..They have the same eyes as well..

My grandfather was a police officer and My guy is also a police officer..So yeah I see it..

My mom is a Capricorn with a Gemini Moon and Virgo Rising. The guy that I'm most attracted to is a Capricorn with Gemini Rising and Jupiter, Mars and Saturn in Virgo. Both of them have Mercury in Sagittarius. Owing to their planets in the 4th House they are both very family-oriented (my mom has her Sun and Mercury in the 4th; he has Jupiter, Mars and Saturn in the 4th). They are definitely very much alike.

I am a c-section birth so my chart actually doesn't correllate with my parents' charts (what I know of them). However, my dad has a libra moon and so do I and I (mostly air and a bit of fire) am pretty combatible with my dad (leo stellium) but not mum (pretty much all water).

However, I do love leo men and often wonder if its the warmness that I pick up on that I felt when I was doted on as a child by my dad. I would say that I have seen guys with similar physical characteristics to me dad and have been attracted to them. However, I adore Gems a lot and neither of my parents have this in their chart.

What is funny though is seeing couples in the paper who are marrying and look so alike, they could pass as brother and sister.

I am curious how c-section affects a natal chart.

I was born 2 weeks early after a 23 hour labor. I was induced,or I would have been born later. Mom said something about me falling asleep in the womb,and the labor stopped. She even told me that I didn't cry when I came out until they poked me.


If I was born day before, I wouldn't have Moon in Pisces,lunar apex t-square,Sun trine Moon,nor Moon in alignment with Sadalmelik,Fomalhaut,nor a Moon-Ancha occultation. I would have Moon in Aquarius with same birthdate as Bill Gates.

Moon in Pisces was my father's moonsign and my maternal grandfather's moonsign.

^ Me too---C-section, 3 weeks premature. Mom has high blood pressure and tiny hips. She had a C-section with my sister. That's interesting. Does it make a difference?

The first breath of air, regardless of the method of birth, is all that matters.

I've once read that some natal charts, or comparisons to their parents' charts, can show indications of c-sections. Unfortunately, there wasn't any more information on this.

I was supposed to be a leo as well....July 25th was my due date. I can only imagine how different I would be just with the leo sun alone.

O gawd say it isnt true!

Once I dated one who in our "flirting getting to know each other" phase would play act when I was sick with the cold, as in "the poor little girl is sick" blah blah like my dad used to do and I thought, WTH! This cant be, this guys an Aries! [my dads a Pisces] And it turns out that they had conj ASC!!! Aggh deliver me from hell.

Now it turns out my love interest current has sun conj venus and moon [same combo as my dad, same as my grandpa, albeit in diff signs].

Makes me wanna take a cold shower.

LOL... Yup... they did say that we end up marrying our parents (dads for women, and moms for men). It's not that bad... just means that you either think that they are good for you (looking for something familiar) or that you subconciously want to try and change them, believing that they can be better person by you.

My hubby's mom is an Aries. The two major loves in his life (me included) are Aries.

I think there can be variances of the (dads for women, and moms for men). Say your a woman and you generaly take the dominate or male role in your romantic relationships you would most likely be attracted to men who are like your mother instead of your father. This is true in the case of both me and my mother. My mom married the male version of my grandmother(its really freaky). And the same goes for me. But we both tend to take on more submissive roles in all other relationships.

I definitely don't want anyone like my parents! i never was close to my dad. i hated him while growing up, tho i am ok with him now. so i hope tht shudnt happen.
i think its also possible tht if u hated one of your parents, u may go out looking for someone who is their exact opposite, don't u think?
My ex-bf used to some times do the 'baby talk' with me, ie, treat me like i was a little girl. It used to irritate me immensely, bcoz i hated it when my father did that (when i was a teenager!). I wud immediately tell him to stop.

for a woman,
If you hate your father, you might have problems with men in general due to problems with animus
Sun and Mars are part of the animus
Sun is said to not only the father but also the husband


for a man,
If you hate your mother,you might have problems with women in general due to problems with anima
Moon and Venus are part of the animus
Moon is said to be not only the mother,but also the wife.

Jungian concept in Astrology.

I don’t have problem with men, I have a problem with my farther. Well I did.

Curious. Would that indicate bad aspects between Sun and Mars.

Incidentally, I think the relationship our parents had can affect the kind of relationship we have. Like with me, my parents separated when I was real young. My dad would visit once a month, or every two months. He lived abroad and travelled the world…and had this glamorous exciting life, my mum would stay in cold grey England with her parents, waiting for him…sorta. So at that age, I started believing that in relationships, you are either the one who stays and waits at home or the one with a better life.
A nightmare for me is becoming a stay at home mum. Not to say being that would be bad…just not for me.

To be honest, I prolly attract guys that are like both my grandpas tall, strong and independent.
