Ok, so since the Sun is supposedly our paternal heritage and the Moon is our maternal heritage, have you guys observed how your Sun sign reflects your Dad's side of the family and the Moon your Mom's?

In my case:
Sun in Leo - My Dad's side of the family is extremely creative. Everyone has some sort of artistic skill (actors, singers, dancers, visual artists) and many of us have/are pursuing a career in the arts. My uncle was a famous Broadway actor and my older cousin is also making quite a name for himself on Broadway currently. My father also used to dabble in acting and performing. I'm a performer myself and I always believed I inherited much of my creative gifts from my paternal heritage. Through research, I've realized there's a heavy Water pattern on this side. Nearly everyone, including myself, has a personal planet in Water. My grandfather, grandmother, and almost all their children have at least one personal planet in Pisces. Crazy. But, I think that's what adds to the intense creative energy.

Moon in Scorpio - My Mom's side of the family definitely has some darkness going on. But, it's all a very hidden, subterranean, skeleton-in-the-closet thing. Without going into details, my mother and aunt suffered abuse at the hands of my grandfather who was an alcoholic. My grandmother did little about it. I also recently discovered, through research, that my grandfather was accused of molesting a teenage girl at the school he worked at in the early 90's. Strangely, no one ever told me this directly. There are also recurring incidences of incest and mental illness. My mom probably has narcissistic personality disorder, as well as my grandmother. My great-grandmother probably had histrionic personality disorder. So, it's generation after generation of darkness and sickness. I've always felt something was just wrong on my Mom's side but it was never talked about. There's a heavy Pluto pattern going on. My chart's highly Plutonian. Mom has Moon-Pluto square. My sister has Mars conjunct Pluto and my only first cousin has Scorpio Mars. Aunt has Venus conjunct Pluto and both my grandmother and great-grandmother have/had Sun square Pluto, like me.

Also, I can see how my paternal grandpa and maternal grandma really fulfill the Leo and Scorpio archetypes. My paternal grandfather was really admired, looked up to, seen as an amazing man in his community. He was very paternal, not just in his good fathering abilities but because he had a LOT of children (my dad has 7 siblings and about 6 half-siblings). I never knew him but from what I was told, he sounds really Leo: jovial, confident, rather fiery but good-hearted. My maternal grandmother is really controlling and domineering. She likes to feign that she's just trying to do what's best for someone else, but most of the time it's all just downright manipulation. I love her but she's kind of an evil witch sometimes. She's not too well-liked in her community, but she's seen as a strong woman and always makes an impact with whatever she does.
