Do you believe your parent's astrological sign had a predictable influence on your personality?
I was raised by an "up tight", overly cautious Capricorn. I can certainly see that reflected in my personality.

Both my parents have very "strong" personalities..mom is Cancer/Leo cusp and dad is Aries. My sister, brother, and I all have "strong" (read: dominant, asssertive, etc) personalities (but we're Cap, Scorp, Cap ..respectively).

My dad has Aquarius moon and he's very weird, offbeat, OUT THERE lol..I see that reflected in me & my sister's personalities..

The rest of us all have fire moon signs (two Sags, one Aries, one Leo) ..the dynamics of our household are pretty crazy at times.

I definitely see us all identifying very much so with my dad's Aries mercury. And, unfortunately, it's the mean, blunt, biting, rude, over-the-top, aggressive Aries qualities we display when we argue =/

Yes most definitely.

usually the parents sun will be on the IC of the opposite sex child.. so therefore one of your parents will kind of determine your house positions and AC and such..

for example.. my mother sag and my father cap..

my IC is in sag. my fourth house (house of childhood and the home) is divided up between sag and cap..

Although I did not live with my mother.. sag is still the ruler of my 4th house. because she is the opposite sex.

I lived with my father.. and although at times my childhood was good i generally regard it as crippling to me. My father was somewhat abusive and even more verbally. He drank and he smoked alot. at times it would be good everything would be fine but often it would turn bad. so I never knew what to expect and therefore I was very insecure and afraid of my father. I was constantly pushed to work hard and be responsible at a young age. I had to do things whenever I was told. i remember alot of different chores.

Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in my 4th house.. Saturn ruler of capricorn which is the sign of my father. represents discipline and structure but coupled (conjunct) with Uranus both in sag. made things unexpected and sudden. and finally neptune in cap. cloudiness, drugs, alcohol.


I have two half siblings from my father. one sister.. who coincidentally has a libra ac putting her IC in Capricorn, her dad. and a half brother who has a cancer AC putting his IC in Libra the sun sign of his mother (my stepmom)


not everyone has this in their chart.. but i have seen it in quite a few people..

My dad is an Aries and he'll run anybody over in the name of success. He owes a lot of karma to a lot of people in his next life. Because of him I'll never marry or even date an Aries, I can't help it, they just turn me off.

I am a Sag sun...my mother was Pisces (my IC is in Pisces, 4th house) and father, Taurus. I was a lot like my mother emotionally, but being very close to my father helped to keep me grounded. My father had an Aquarius moon like myself so that helped with the bond too.

Yes... I think that parents' signs do influence the children, but I think in the case of my family it can be hard to say how because we all share some sort of major influence that also effects us.

Me: Virgo Sun/ Scorpio rising/ Aries moon
Dad: Aries Sun/ Cancer Moon (time unknown, so no ASC for him)
Mom: Aquarius Sun/ Cancer rising/ Taurus Moon
Brother: Taurus Sun/Gemini Rising/ Scorpio Moon

As you can see, we all kind of interconnect in some way together. Needless to say, I was closer to my dad growing up with his Aries sun and my Aries Moon, and my brother was closer to my mom with her Taurus Moon and his Taurus Sun. My brother and I have always gotten along though, what with the fact that we both have earth sun signs and major Scorpio influences. Mom was harder for me, but ultimately we still get along with the earth and water influences.

I do not, however, have Aries or Aquarius on the IC. I have Pisces on the IC, so I'm not entirely certain the one parent's sun on the IC is true (though, in theory, the composite sun of both of their suns would be in Pisces)... And I know my brother doesn't have either of their signs on the IC; I I believe he has Leo on the IC. However, all of the shared aspects probably make up for it anyway...

i've found that parents are described by the IC and MC too, but not always directly by the sign on the cusp. my father was taurus but mom had a taurus moon - taurus on the IC but very late, it's mostly gemini and those two signs describe the dominant feel of my childhood home, they were both very mentally stimulating/ed - my MClate scorp/sag well my mother's first house was mostly scorpio but my dad's moon sag. my sun is conjunct pluto in leo and having aqua rising made me the best able to cope with a very complex pair out of four sisters...my daughter's dad is on both IC/MC and she has leo rising on my horizon! but her leo moon in the twelfth (i am pixces moon) hemmed in by pluto(her dad), saturn(marriage) and venus t-square is exactly where i was at when she was very young. in the middle of a very plutonic divorce and aspiring to keep it sweet...

I have a couple of interesting connections with my parents ... though not necessarily with our IC's. Both of my parents are very dominant people (both of them are Cappies). They have been kind of overprotective of me ... which actually makes sense because my mom has Sun and Chiron in the 4th house and my dad has Cancer rising with Moon and Neptune in the 4th. The older I got the more I felt smothered by the overprotection. Now the funny thing is that my IC technically is still in Gemini but being it at 27 degrees
99% of my 4th house actually fall into Cancer.
Anyway, here are the aspects between me and my parents that I find particularly interesting:

*My MOM's Ascendant opposite MY Ascendant
*My MOM's Ascendant exactly conjunct MY Vertex
*My MOM's Vertex exactly conjunct MY Ascendant
*My MOM's IC exactly conjunct MY MC
*My MOM's Moon conjunct MY North Node

*My DAD's Moon opposite MY Ascendant
*My DAD's Moon conjunct MY Vertex
*My DAD's Venus conjunct MY Sun
*My DAD's Venus opposite MY Chiron
*My DAD's Chiron conjunct MY Sun
*My DAD's Vertex conjunct MY Sun
*My DAD's Vertex conjunct MY Chiron

oh yes :O my mom's a scorpio, and dad's an aqua like me...=/ They're both so CONTROLLING and manipulative! You know when I was 10 I got into an argument with my teacher about kids and students rights, the teacher got angry and told my mom... Guess what my mom did? she threatened to take away my two guinea pigs if I did not IMMEDIATELY go and apologize to both my teacher AND the principal!! And then when I did(very unwillingly as I in my opinion had done nothing wrong), she said she didn't think she could ever trust me again. Teust me again?? I was TEN!

Most of our arguments kind of ends with her either threatening to take something away from me, or not doing something she'd already promised me to do (like driving me to school when I've overslept)if I keep on arguing with her. Makes me so mad! How dare she keep me from stating my opinion!?

I don't think it's hard to imagine I've grown very fond of stating my opinions in general, it's a kind of an uproar I guess. And I do hate it when people try to manipulate me, as I can detect it so well!

Here's a couple of three-generational ones:

EXAMPLE 1

Ma - Mars 0* Virgo
Pa - Mars 0* Pisces

Me - MC 1* Virgo/ IC 1* Pisces

#2 Son - Sun 2* Virgo - Uranus 0* Pisces

EXAMPLE 2

Pa - Sun Conjunct Uranus 1*

Me - Sun Trine Uranus 2*
Bro - Sun Square Uranus 3*

#1 Son - Sun Trine Uranus 6*
#2 Son - Sun Opposite Uranus 2*

I could bore you further but these are my favs, especially the 2nd one

Both my parents are messy/chaotic water signs (dad is a Pisces, Scorp rising; mom is a Cancer, Pisces rising). They wound up with two daughters whose charts have a lot of earth, which is a reflection of how structured and organized my sister and I had to make our lives early on, because my parents simply could not provide us with that structure or support. We had to do it ourselves because no one else was going to be there to do it for us.

If you can avoid being raised by Capricorn/ Scorpio parents, by all means do....

My mom is a Pisces Sun/Aquarius Moon, and she's pretty loopy. My dad is a Taurus Sun/Sagittarius Moon. He's very scholarly and into food and wine (typical). Education is a big deal to him and consequently a big deal to me as well.

If I have Sun, Asc, Merc & Nep in Libra, is that a Stellium?
