I'm a child of the '70s so most of our games were usually outside: Bulldog, Stones (a ball game involving knocking down stones). Indoor games were usually me playing with my plastic horses (I'd set up entire showjumping courses in the living room!). I'd also spend HOURS on my own with my little plastic farm animals. (Virgo sun maybe) lol. I also went through a Cindy Doll phase at some point too. (Libra ascendant? haha)

We also created our own (rather violent when I think back!) game called "Peace Treaty" where we would wrestle and fight until someone called "Peace Treaty" and then we'd have time out. (Mars in Leo I suppose)

I liked pretending I was either a wild house or one in a cross country competition

And I really liked red rover, but no one ever really wanted to play that too much

I actually pretended my bike was a horse. And I turned one section of the backyard into a "stable" with cut grass for hay, tackle I'd made out of bits of leather, and god knows what! My imagination was pretty fertile as as kid. Of course my parents never caved into me CONSTANTLY asking them to buy me a horse. lol

Hahaha, dying of laughter over here.

My cousins and I would put on our grandma's old dresses and make up plays when we were at her house for the day.

Other games we played was holiday camp, we where in charge of holiday entertainment. We also used to play Harry potter and role play the characters. Pisces rules my 5th so I guess role playing was my favourite games as a kid, my imagination was so strong and endless, it still is, but not in a child like way.

Childhood is a wonderful thing eh?

Other things I remember enjoying doing: Playing with my 5 year old cousin's "Playpeople" (with him) for hours out in the garden, we'd stick them up trees and stuff and do silly role play.

Turning the house into a "hotel" with signs on the doors for "restaurant", "Bedroom 1, 2, etc", "Kitchen" and "Dining room". How on earth did my mother put up with us?

Making elaborate tents in the garden, they were more like communes than tents!

Aries, fast animal.

When I got older:

Tag on the "House Bars" and you can't touch the ground.

Capture the Flag

Which always felt more like this when I won:

My mother also insisted I be a singer and made me go to church choir and practice on a regular basis, like for 52 weeks without a break, starting at age 5. She was obsessed with church choir and I could never miss one practice!
Finally I told her absolutely not I can't take it any more.
I have a twelfth house stellium with Mercury and also third house Mars in Sagittarius.
What else I did all the time was draw pictures, make up stories and talk to my imaginary buddy. That was when I was happiest of all - Libra Mercury/Jupiter and Uranus conjunct ascendant from the twelfth house. South node in twelfth.

I'm sorry your mother was so pushy. Mine would say sometimes (and actually still does) I should be a singer but it was rather causal. I used to voluntarily sing at school and I enjoyed it. I drew a lot when I was a kid too. I was known in my kindergarten for being able to draw princesses who actually resembled humans I should've charged the brats for every picture haha.

Regarding my audio spectacles, I would make a comedy out of them. Dat Sag in me Perhaps I came up with a "shopping show" because of my Moon in the 2nd.

The one that I was really proud of, and also part of an assignment of retelling a classic fairy tale in which the villain is just misunderstood, was where I rewrote Vasilisa the Beautiful as Vasilisa a sorceress who learned from Baba Yaga and she was the one to murder her family with a skull lantern (rather than Baba Yaga "tricking" her into it) and then she used magic to seduce the tsar and then go after Baba Yaga who was the only one who could stop her. All worshiped the beauty of their witch queen while hating the kindly Baba Yaga who had to flee into the wilderness (though she rode her hut of chicken legs) and she helped the orphans of those killed by the tyranny of the beautiful witch queen and her magically enslaved tsar. In retrospect I believe Vasilisa was my vain mother who bragged of power she had over others and Baba Yaga my grandmother, and Granny's was where my home was while Mom was able to take me away and destroy that life.

Astrologically I'd say it's a mix of 5H (Leo) Sag, the love of travel and optimism when things seem bleak (Sag Uranus would especially love putting a new twist on things), my Jupiter Scorpio that was trying to make sense of the sitch I was in and perhaps work some magic on my behalf, Cappie Lilith vigilant for dangers, and Libra on the Scorpio cusp stellium liked the ideas, alternative viewpoints, and creativity.

I also loved getting up early in the morning, sometimes the twilight before dawn, and going out away from people to play by myself (the woods, before they were cleared for more development, could be too dark when the sun wasn't yet present, and I got bit by a spider that hurt because I stumbled into its web in the dark, and that scared me), which was Sag love of exploring outside, Libra seeking escape from disharmonious influences, and Scorpio seeking privacy.

And though it was a rare treat I LOVED going to the beach (usually Galveston). My favorite game was to let the currents pull me (sometimes by body, but also by floating on something), swim back to shore, and find my parents (or whoever I was with) and repeat. Gods, I so much hated the jellyfish! But not enough to stay out of the water. Seems obvious that was my Sag stellium at work.

making up stories/characters with toys, acting out dramatic tragedies with said toys

-Pluto opposite Sun and Venus? Sun sextile Neptune, Juno square Neptune

Role playing with other kids and making up characters etc
Our little stories were pretty sophisticated and sounded like Greek legends
I also had a victim/saviour complex as a kid, and would make someone act as the damsel in distress so I could save them and vice versa lol (I still have said complex today but shhh)

-Juno square Neptune, Mars sextile Chiron
Pluto square or opposite literally every planet, Moon in Scorpio

There was always a villain theme, usually an authority figure to save said 'damsels' from

I used various things such as chairs, stuffed animals, pillows...etc.. as "pillars" and threw blankets on them to make the roofs. I made "doors" n "windows" and all... After making sure that everything was secure I'd move my toys n books in n pretend that I was in a new "home".

And I liked growing moss (??) Idk, cap placements ? I tried to grow the longest, thickest, softest beds of moss haha. I love moss, so soft and velvety.

Even now sometimes I still feel the desire to "hide" under the bed, like "Oohh how cozy..."
