In our household growing up, there were 4 children. Our two parents stayed the same in our youth (no steps), we all had the exact same influence in our home.

People say, you can't go by sun signs, that's a general and sweeping statement, everybody is different from other influences in their lives ..

We are taught as children about morals, standards, values .. these aren't things that come from peer pressure .. these are things that come from your parents.

Yet, my morals are different from my Cancer brother, my Taurus sister, and my Scorpio brother .. we all have a different set of principals and morals .. and all of them are clearly identifiable by their sun signs. And NONE of us have the standards that our parents tried to instill.

So, really .. it's all about sun signs .. there is no general statement of something behaving according to their sun sign .. it's an accurate statement.

Yeah, P - I think you are correct. This is why parents become so frustrated with their children... they "think" that these innocent children "should" be who they think they should be and not who they just are.

I grew up with a Gem sister, and 2 virgo sisters (twins). To this day, we each are soooo very different...as it should be. 😉

I learned from my parents trying to mold us all to be the same that this was not how I was going to raise my boys. I was going to let each one of them be who they naturally were born to be and ya know what? it worked! they are the best of friends!

I will admit that I did research on their sun and moon signs (adding the moon does also make a difference in the person). Example - I have two Scorpio boys (now men) one has an Aqua moon, Gem rising and the other a Sag. moon with an Aries rising. They are sooooo different! The scorp with the Aqua moon likes to be by himself, more of a loner and the other one.....sales man of the year guy!

I also do feel that enviroment and the people we come in contact can influence us....

Look at the Oprah followers.....😉

Good post P!

I just find this amazing, FB .. the informative years are 3-5 years old, I think. During those years, is when we learn nearly everything .. yet, in our family, we lived in the same house, with the same people, and what we all learned was different.

So, there has to be something more to it. There has to be another force that steers us into molding ourselves according to a certain set of principals .. and when people can recognize these differences according to the position of our planets, then something has to be noted as to its relevance.

Questions, questions, questions ..

While I take astrology seriously to a degree, I don't take it as the god given word (to use an expression). So, I will play the devil's advocate here.

While they may have many similarities, they also do not.

One, genetics. While you are all brothers and sisters, how many have different hair and eye color than you? Could that not extend to personality? Not to defining personality, but increasing probability for certain tendencies (much like astrology is supposed to).

Two, experiences. Yes, you have the same parent, but you do not necessarily have the sam eexperiences. Parents may treat one child slightly differently than they treat another. For example, many parents are overly cautious and worrisome about their first children and become increasingly more laid back the more they have. As well, while one sibling may experience something from a first person perspective, another may onely experience it as a spectator (i.e. - one child being bad and getting in trouble for it). Even more, once the child becomes ~6+ years old, their experiences vary greatly. They go to school with different classes and teachers, they have different friends, and they have many experiences away from the home.

Any and all of the above could account for the differences in personalities, values, and standards.

So, what about twins? Would they not have the same chart (or minutely different)? Statistics show that while twins are similar, they are also different in many ways.

Sorry, just playing devil's advocate, since no one has jumped in yet...
