You're probably right about the Japanese influence - her daughter (the baby in the pic) later became an architect and travelled to Japan several times during the 1950s to study Japanese woodwork, architecture, and furniture design…I'm sure her mother was drawn to Japanese art as well. (I am too; am a big fan of Hukusai - all of his oeuvre, even the more bizarre parts).

I KNEW your Dad had to have a heavy water influence! Yes, Scorp Moon and AC make sense. And how amazing - your Mom thus shares your Moon and AC placements, doesn't she? We have a somewhat similar thing going on - my Mom's a Virgo Sun, Cancer Moon, Aries MC; I'm a Cancer Sun, Aries Moon, Virgo MC; my daughter is a Virgo Sun and Cancer AC (but with Aqua Moon and Pisces MC to connect with her Pisces Sun, Aqua Venus & Merc Dad).

This is indeed very interesting, Vajra, in fact I was thinking about a thread where we can compare the placements for 3-4 generations, there are interesting similarities with grandparents and great grand-parents as well, not only signs, but I also noticed degree "coincidences". I can see there's inheritance for at least 3 generations in your case as well. With my mother things are very interesting because we also share the same interception, Aqua-Leo in 1st-7th.
My father had his Moon on ASC and a heavy 4th house predominance so yes, you sensed the water quite well. (although as placement he only has Scorpio Moon and ASC, but I think the house contributed a lot to his water vibe)

- My mom's True Node, my Sun, and my daughter's Saturn are all clustered between 7°25 and 11°17 Cancer.
- My mom's Moon and my daughter's AC are conj. (orb 1°19). They are also conj. my Sun/Saturn midpoint, which is the midpoint between two T-square apices in my chart, thus extremely sensitive. My Mom's Moon is exactly conj. it (0°03), while my daughter's AC is 1°22 away. Almost exactly on that points is also my asteroid CHILD, which is thus conj. my daughter's AC (1°06) and my mother's Moon (0°13). Unbelievable, isn't it?
- My Mom's Saturn and my own Saturn are conj. (0°33).
- My IC, my Mom's Sun, and my daughter's IC and Sun are spread evenly between 5°05 and 15°53 Virgo. My Dad's Moon is conj. my MC (0°26) as well.
- My daughter's Vertex is exactly conj. my True Node (0°02).

Just for a quick overview. And don't get me started on our name asteroids!

Born in 39 and 48, and here we have something around 1970.

I know this photo of your parents and they are lovely. Is your dad wearing an apron or something? what is that interesting thing he's wearing?

Good catch, Lee!

{According to Dr. Carmen Harra}

1. It’s something inside. Describing how a soul mate makes you feel is difficult. It’s a tenacious, profound and lingering emotion which no words can encompass.

2. Flashbacks. If your partner is your soul mate, chances are he or she has been present in your past lives. You might even feel an odd sense of déjà vu, as if the moment in time has already taken place, perhaps a long time ago, perhaps in a different setting.

3. You just get each other. Ever met two people who finish each others sentences? Some people call that spending too much time together, but I call it a soul mate connection. You might experience this with your best friend or your mother, but it is the telltale sign of a soul mate when you experience it with your partner.

4. You fall in love with his (or her) flaws. No relationship is perfect, and even soul mate relationships will experience ups and downs. Still, that bond will be much harder to break. Soul mates have an easier time of accepting, even learning to love, each others imperfections.

5. It’s intense. A soul mate relationship may be more intense than normal relationships, in both good and sometimes bad ways. The most important thing is that, even during negative episodes, you’re focused on resolving the problem and can see beyond the bad moment.

6. You two against the world. Soul mates often see their relationship as “us against the world.” They feel so linked together that they’re ready and willing to take on any feat of life, so long as they have their soul mate by their side.

7. You’re mentally inseparable. Soul mates often have a mental connection similar to twins. They might pick up the phone to call each other at the exact same time. Though life may keep you apart at times, your minds will always be in tune if you are soul mates.

8. You feel secure and protected. Regardless of the gender of your partner, he or she should always make you feel secure and protected. Your soul mate will make you feel like you have a guardian angel by your side. A person who plays on your insecurities, whether consciously or subconsciously, is not your soul mate.

9. You can’t imagine your life without him (or her). A soul mate is not someone you can walk away from that easily. It is someone you can’t imagine being without, a person you believe is worth sticking with and fighting for.

10. You look each other in the eye. Soul mates have a tendency to look into each others eyes when speaking more often than ordinary couples. It comes naturally from the deep-seated connection between them. Looking a person in the eye when speaking denotes a high level of comfort and confidence.

They're both 65; my father, a master Mason, was being honoured at a special event, thanking him for his service to his lodge, and the order itself. His apron is ceremonial. My mother has just pinned the Golden Trowel (also ceremonial) upon his lapel. I was the photographer, and I snapped this candid shot.
