My Mum is a Cappie - I feel we don;t have a relationship anymore.
Recently ( probably partly due to mars being the brightest it has ever been in the last 60,000 years, and being in my sign, Pisces!) - a lot of things have come to a head. To cut a long story short, there were fights words and angry exchanges. My mother said that I was blaming everyone for my life, and basically took it very personally, 'after all she ahd ever done for me'. I didn't mean it personally at all. I just mentioned that I am more interested in Philosophy, and the Arts, all that kind of thing. My parents, ( Mum is Capricorn, Dad is Virgo - are very very very practical and work-orientated. It doesn't matter how you feel, what events have happened in your life, what has occurred, it just matters that you are working every single day of your life end of story. Not bumming around at philosophy and such. The problem is they take it as a personal attack on their way of life, and work ethic. Which I do admire, but sometimes life doesn't always turn out like that, and I cxan't help my natural inclinations. How do i explain that I am just inspired by certain things and feel they come naturally and speak to my soul?? They are so not like that. )
She said that I was looking down on herself and everyone else as mundane and boring and 'small'. I took it very to heart, and left to stay in a really dingy hostel. I blurted out, that I was always worried about her when I was younger, ( because she was a bit depressed for a while, and generally to my young mind, seemed unhappy. I didn't hate her for it, quite the opposite - I was always ttrying to make her laugh) Basically, how I feel now, is guilty for suggesting that she was a 'bad mother', even though I feel didn't mean that at all! Guilty for running away. Not sure what she is thinking EVER, so not sure will she ever forgive me or think highly of me. Do Capricorns ever show how they feel? Ever?? I don't even really mind that, but what I need to know, does she have feelings, but just keep them deep down in side? Does it mean, that she is being nice to me, but in fact has cut me off forever, and deep down will never forgive me, no matter what I do - because being a Capricorn, aren't they all about actions speaking louder than words?? And not that the actual intention behind the action could have been innocent and well-meaning?? Therefore, I cannot change what I have done or said, so does it mean she will never forgive me? Does it mean she will always bear that grudge? I have found myself, again, the past year, slipping back in to the old pattern, of doing things just to try and make her, both my parents happy, because of this, and losing my spirit. So I am walking around miserable, and they then take that personally too!
I think I know the answer myself, but I just cannot seem to coax any truth or feelign out of her at all. I think my problem is I have been killing myself, trying to get an 'emotional' response out of her, rather than a practical, non-emotional one, which can be quite hurtful and cruel at times. Should I give up? What can I do? She acts like, it's "all forgotten" but I can't be sure. But I feel like I can't care anymore, what she thinks, at this stage, and it is hard to break a bond with your mom - but thats life eh?

hi....sometimes I feel like that with my mom too..and yep, i know that it's just the way that she is, and the way that she was brought up.. I'm libra and she's virgo.. virgos are somewhat analytical and can even be a slightly bit critical as well sometimes.. being libran makes me crave company and emotional attention from her most of the time.. virgoan mom is very affectionate but not quite over the top for me to be truly comfortably satisfied.. harsh criticism?..it usually makes my knees quiver.. but I know that she's doing whatever she's doing for my own good, and that she luvs me anywayz all just the same.. 😛
maybe it's a similar experience, or the same for you and your mom too..
Don't take it to heart.. just apologize (if you need to) and explain your true feelings to her.. you'll be able to clear the air for you both, and you'll probably enjoy doing it too..
I luv doing it with my mom..and yeah, she usually thinks that i'm a huge wad of emotional sapp too!! hehehe..
