However, I would also say warm Leo would want children. Ruler of the 5th house, Leo has a natural affinity with children and certain aspects love kids. Leo moons especially are warm-hearted and love/want kids.

I think some people see motherhood as weak and unambitious but honing the next generation of people is far from weak! I hope that sheds a bit of light on the mentality of someone with Mars in Capricorn in fourth house (or at least my mentality).

I was about to jump in because I am the same (Cap Mars in 4th) and I second all this!

I have a very strong desire to nurture, to love and to give everything I have to my children (and future family). I am the complete opposite of a "self"-centered person and am very "other"-centered. Forget personal development and saving the world! My sun is conjunct my MC in the 10th so career is very important to me but my goals are clear and realistic and I would never take risks to jeopardize what I have accumulated so far because it would all be for them.

In a way you are saving the world when you raise kids who won't feel emotionally neglected.

Yep you hit the nail on the head, good aspects to moon and 4th house brings out that mothering cancer nature of the moon/4th house.

I'm 98% sure it's a Cancer sign thing. Someone close to me is a [b]Cancer Sun and he wants to have a family like wow it's the number 1 thing in his life.
My mom is a Cancer ASC and Leo Moon, she loves babies and she says that the happiest days of her life was when my sister and i were born [/B]

Leo moons will always have a tender spot for kids. Take it for me, the most lunar leo ever haha

Leo/Cancer on the cusp of the 4th would also count for this.

I have Leo on the cusp of the 4th. And I really am not so heavily focused in my private life as I "should" be. Nor do I really value children that much.

Still, why do you think that it isn't the case for you when astrologically speaking it "should" be?

Maybe it has to do with the aspects of your Sun and/or Moon?

Possibly Leo on the cusp of your 4th house results in you taking real pride in your physical home and not necessarily the people residing in it? Am I close? Haha

Lol. Unfortunately no.

I project a lot of ideas on the "perfect" home that I would like to have; tons of trees, open fields and a generally "open" environment where I let a lot of air in.

However, I have not worked consciously to its realization. Not in the "soul-full" sense of the word. Only dreamed it.

I get a lot of personal satisfaction from meeting new interesting and diverse people and exchanging ideas. That is where I think I "come alive" etc.

Kids are a burden

Sun, Ceres and Mars conjunct in Cancer,

Moon in Capricorn (in the 4th house) well aspected by Venus and Saturn,

7th house ruler Neptune conjuct my IC

and Jupiter as the only entity in my 5th.

I don't have a deep desire to have kids of my own TBH as I doubt I'd be very good at dealing with the practicalities of parenthood. I do however have an interest in political issues directly related to children (for example wanting compulsory media studies in secondary schools and more help for parents), so I think astrological configurations that suggest wanting children can manifest in a different way.
