Lara+s example made me think about my Father.He never knew his time of birth,only that he was born in the morning.
This is him,very young when he was in the "ultramar",fighting for the colonies,in Angola,moçambique etc.
Some events of his Life ( that i know of..):
He never had problems of money cause his parents had a nice market in the Village where my father was born.
my Grandpa was a cute,nice,friendly and a good-hearted man that helped the poor,giving them food when they didnt had money to buy.
my grandma was a bit difficult to handle:my father has a sister,byt my Granda always prefered my father,treating him with great care,and doing all his wantins,a thing that later transformed my father with a "unique child syndrome"...hihihihi poor Mother of mine hihihihi
My father was supposed to marry with a woman arranged by my grandma ( who had money)but my father didnt wanted that.
He met my mother and couldnt be without her anymore...they dated in secret.
my father was attending the 1st year of law shchool,but gave up few time after having met my Mother.
She was from a big family with not all that money,so my parents married in secret ( with my granda ( mother´s mother)was only witness.they didnt took photos either...
Married in 19march 1967.
My sister was born in 7june 1966 and my father+s parents only knew that my father was married when my mother convinced him,that they had to meet my sister.
my granda never liked my mother that much...my mom was too beautiful,too strong willed.and my grandma always had jeallous of my Mom.in her latest years,my Mom took her and took care of my grandma,but i think that not even that made my grandma a more tolerant and forgiven person...
in 1968 my father was called to the military,he had to be prepared to fight for the COuntry,in Africa. he stayed there2 years i think.
My mother after some months went to be with my father and took my sister.they were there for 9 months.
my brother was born in 5march 1971.
me and my twin were born in august 1983.we were a surprise for everybody cause my mother wanst trying to get pregnant.
my father worked at the textil companies for awhile and then passed to a business he started to construct with my mother.
a small business that started in our garage ( in the year of 1982/1983)while my mom was pregnant of me and my twin.
the business was in textile matters and after lot of work started to give money,they passed onto a small renting place.
i was little but i remember going there and the money was always entering at a bigger scale. they afforded to pay our house in all,and started thinking big...too big says my Mother now.
all the money they had,my father wanted to put in a big construction for their business.my mother didnt wanted but it was convinced.they spent almost a million i guess and the business was there.
unfortunately years later,all sorts of events started happening,my father spent too much it wasnt a good manager.he never knew how to deal with mney cause he was educated in a way that the money was made to spent and that it will always be there,abundantly appearing....dahhhh
no need to say that my mother started to get fed up.the bills stated to appear,my father doing bad decisions,bad contracts and to worse things,his pride was big enought not to stop when he needed.
my mother closed the door and started the child store where i am now at times.
my Father continued awhile in the business but the debts were bigger and bigger and he had to deliver ALL to the government to pay the bills.he went to the courts to prove the bankrupcy ( we had some nasty robberies that the insureance companies didnt payed..and that contributed to the early closing too...).
there was no way to save the business of a lifetime.
in 2005,and i guess the big company closed really around 2004 or 2005,my father asked me to be the signer of papers.of a new company a small one to start again.so that money will enter.cause we were needing it.
i agreed but after i got out of college in 2006 i discovered my father was already in debts again,with my name on it.
only in 2009 i convinced him to close this small thing cause i didnt wanted to have more debts. we´re still in debts of course but at least he is not making anymore bad decisions on it.
he is retired but with a lousy value and now doenst want to work or be active anymore.
i walays wanted to know his birt time and sutydy his chart.
i guess i talked too much...solarc arcs for me are too complex.i dont know where to start.but does his appearance screams a specific ascendant?
