Cap dad.

Good person (really good), but a control freak to the bone.

Almost oppressive-- totally overprotective.

Couldn't WAIT to get out of the house.

And yeah, he had a tendency to try to 'parent' my mom, too.

Ha! Sag.


My mom married a Cancer and talk about a match made in Hell.

He's a good person too, but my God they were incompatible.

My mom's an airy Sag-- with this Scorp Venus that just throws a

monkey wrench in the works.

And yeah, he could throw a tantrum like nobody's business.

My dad is a Cap. I dont really have much to say about him. I love him and I know he loves me, but we dont really have a normal daughter/father relationship. Its more like we are cool with eachother, if that makes sense. I was always mouthy with him, so he probably figured he couldn't tell me nothing.

My grandma is a Cap too. She wasnt a controlling mother at all, from what I hear she worked all day while they scattered in the neighborhood, and all of my aunts/uncles have very distinct personalities. Always an extremely "feel-good" entertaining time when everyone is together, which is always.

Hmm. Control is thing I can co_sign on.
I wonder if this branches out to all cardinal signs or just a standout trait for Caps.

My dad is a Cap. We share some personal planets... Moon, Venus, and I'm a Cap Asc.

My dad was very hands on. He was the leader. He acted like everybody's dad. My mother's family liked him more than her. I think she felt stifled and crushed by his domination.

Honestly, my dad was right. But, he was heavy handed and talked alot.

Ow. Your poor mom. What sign is she?
How did you manage to cope with his dominate attitude?

I don't know if I gave a poor impression of my dad but imagine the TV character House marries Marilyn Monroe. Something like that.

My mom is a Libra.

My dad's domination was mental. I'm air dominant. For example, he taught my multiplication at 4 years old. He wouldn't have it any other way. But, learning things so early was in me for sure. He demanded intelligence. He is eccentric. As a child, sometimes it was scary, sometime in a fascinating way.

Now, he's much more laid back. He taught me ALOT about EVERYTHING.

I'm cap, ex was cancer
Just baaaaaad
He was very child like and I always felt like I was Single and he was just one of the kids not a very good partnership and definite power struggle , he wanted to call the shots but leave everything up to me - if that makes sense haha

As for the kids they probably see him as more fun and me as more supportive and present , I always saw him as The 3rd child

Mom is a Capricorn. She loved to brag about her children's accomplishments... She put a lot of pressure on us. And she had no problem telling me to lose weight in my younger years lol, and eventually I did. She was very cold yet very loving at the same time. I don't know how to describe it. She had no problem spending money on us or anything else. But the older she gets the more child-like and helpless she's becoming, which is weird since my mom has always been stern and strong and kept everything together.

We age backwards.
She might join a gang of gangster grannies if you're not careful.

My mom is a capricorn. She got into huge depression, BPD issues. I didn't get the motherly love I needed and I got emotionally damaged. My dad is a sag. I stay away from the both of them because it's just better that way.

Anyway, I'm better now. Sometimes, you can learn harsher lessons and be smarter when you're all alone.

My Cappie grandmother was married to a Sag and they had five children. My grandmother divorced him when they were young and moved states away to raise her kids herself. I don't think she was depressed, idk, but I do find it odd that out of all of her kids, she has six in total, my Cancer uncle, who is the oldest, is the most unstable of them all. It makes me wonder if Cap women are not the best at raising water sign men.

Back in the day he use to terrorize the house and run company away. She was the ONLY person that could calm him down, and she would just talk to him calmly and he'd sit and listen as if he needed that attention from her. Now, when he comes over he'll sit and talk to her for hours it seems. It seems to be some type of attention he needs or want, idk. When they were younger, she went to school and worked 24/7, and they say by the time she'd get home she'd go to her room. He was the brilliant one, but somehow lost his way and got into drugs etc.

Mom is a cancer and dad is a cap moon.

Dad cancer

Brother Capriocorn



Dad- amazing father- always selfless, caring, funny, and always wanted to interact with us- sensitive.

Brother- Either my bestfriend or enemy. Super funny, silly, cool, or used things against me and super untrustworthy (used things I confided in him with against me to hurt me)

Mum was a goat....stubborn as hell but practical and reliable. Her emotions were repressed too much for my liking

I didn't realize until years after she passed that she had a Leo Moon.....it did account for all the times she looked in the mirror and also judged people for the way they looked

Dad was a Cap with a Leo Asc. He worked hard always but spent way too much and though he was a good provider, his extravagance often caused financial distress in the family. Maternal grandma was also a Cap with a Leo moon. She was an excellent provider and seemed to support everyone in the family. She was also a fun, kind person full of love and devotion to the family. She was always mature and in charge even when she was young from what I hear.

My dad was a Cap. Very controlling. My mom left him after 10 years. He was also brilliant, a workaholic, completely devastated by the divorce & an emotional hot mess for years afterwards & bitter about my mom til the end (even though he got remarried to the love of his life). He was always there for me even though we butted heads. He always knew what was best for me lol. But he was there to rescue me when I needed it. My stepmom told me that I was his favorite - that he loved my spunk. LOL!! Sag-Cap dynamic I suppose. You couldn't hug him. But he showed his love other ways. When he was very sick, we were able to develop a close relationship with no butting heads. Then he'd get a little better & that coldness would return. And we'd argue again. His feistiness would be back! I guess while he was sick, his defenses came down. I learned a ton from him. Never to give up, I can do anything I put my mind to, about love ❤️. I miss him terribly. He died 4 years ago. 😢

*hugs*

Lol! 2yrs old thread?

Ok anyway.Cancer dad.Provider.Very protective. Controlling. He takes care of everything.... EVERY DAMN THING!!! But he's mushy at heart n loves too much. Blinded by love infact. He's all about family n takes care of everyone in the family...his side, my mom's side... Just everyone. It's like he adopted the whole damn huge family.He provides for all of them..pays all their bills... Everyone is just under his wing. I feel he's easy to be taken advantage of. Show lil love(fake it no problem) n he'll adopt you too? But he's very respectable n someone I'd always look upto. He worked very hard n has been through a lot before he got where he is now...did it all by himself n that's remarkable. He rarely spends anything on himself.. Always giving but is very good with money. He knows how to save up. Though he seems like he holds the reins, I know my mom has the key. They both love n admire eachother immensely. My dad thinks my mom is his lucky charm n my mom thinks he's the best man ever.They take pride in eachother.
