Constructing the best type of parent for a Libra

I have been thinking about this topic for a long time. Just like to know if any Librans have no problems with their parents (specifically mothers)?
It's not easy to construct perfect/impeccable parents for a Libra child, because no-one is perfect. There's always something far out horrid about seemingly perfect combis.

Now I'll get the ball rolling. (I am focusing on mothers here only)

I think Scorpio mothers make one of the worst parents for a Libra (especially a Libra girl). God forbid Libra and scorpio to grow up together. The scorpio mother's insensitivity, brashness and cruel persona is not ideal for developing/ nurturing a Libra child to adulthood at all.. Scorpio mothers are (to a Libra child) the empress dowager, or the totalitarian dictator.. It's not easy for a Scorpio to ever admit they are wrong.. so it is so hard for a scorpio type to be nurturing emotionally.. they rule with an iron hand.

Now, Aquarian mothers. I used to think Aqua and Libra make the best friends or combis. But after a couple of years, I know how false that is. Aqua mothers, I really don't think, make ideal mothers for Libra girls at all. I believe Aquas and Scorpios are similar in the sense they are both very controlling and will never really admit they are wrong. The closer Aqua and Libra become, the more leeway there is for abuse.. coming from Aqua towards Libra. Because Aqua will want to change Libra to be like them.. God forbid a Libra has an Aqua mother..

Now cancer mothers? I heard they could be crazy really..

What are best parents for Libra?

I know of this Libra girl with two Capricorn parents.. they seem picture perfect.. so can it be Capricorn? Too stern?

Oh dang I forgot to add.. Aries mothers.. OUT!

My aunt is an Aries and she has a Libra and Virgo daughter. They are but shadows of herself..
Aries mothers are terrible for Libra daughters, really. I am glad I have an Aries father and not mother..

My mother is pisces and our relationship was awful when I was a child! However now I am older she is my best friend. Growing up she just didnt seem to understand my way of thinking, but now she understands that it was because I felt I was being treated unfairly why she had so much trouble from me. To be fair though I do not think I would be able to cope with a libra child, especially a girl!

My mother is a Sagittarius. I have always gotten along with her. I admire her strength and honesty. I don't know much about a typical Sagittarius woman, but my mom is awesome. She is an optimist even through all the troubles she had before my father and her started the family. After the proverbial shit hit the fan, she kept an optimistic view, at least in front of us. She was fair but stern and taught us right and wrong. I got my brutal honesty form her.

I really cannot think of a bad thing about her.

My Libra and his Leo Mom (Gemini Moon) have a very, very close bond. She's definitely Leo.. fiery, opinionated.. I daresay insensitive at times, but usually fair-minded, if a bit stubborn. Maybe he even idealizes her a little tiny bit too much, but that's cool with me too. In a lot of ways, I'm very much like his Mom (I'm calmer, quieter, more compassionate -- but just as opinionated and stubborn and unashamed)... HE has even jokingly said, "Well, you know they say that boys grow up to Marry Their Mothers, right?"

((His Dad was a Pisces, born the last day of Pisces w/ Aries Moon, so seemed quite Aries at times. Mom and Dad had a very good marriage (not perfect, of course) and even though Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor 5.5 years ago and died quickly (4 months).. his Mom's never remarried - and in fact, has never even been on a DATE with anyone else, though she's only just turned 59 a few days ago! She says there's no one in the world like him, and so won't even try. (It's a bit sad yes.. but the sappy, romantic side of me loves that!)))

Oh... and though my Libra misses his Dad terribly and wishes he had a Time Machine, he admits that they bumped heads allllll the time and that Mom was sort of the buffer between them, because they often could not reach any mutual understanding between them.

Oh.. and just for shits n' giggles.. his older Cap sister... was like an alien child born into a human family (or human child born into an alien family? Who knows, but the Stork screwed up the directions LOL)... OH, the stories they tell, now that being grown up gives them all more patience and maturity about the differences between family members!

i have a libra/scorpio sun cusp libra moon mom and we get along great. shes the best mother in the world. we had our natural mother/daughter ups and downs (in my teen age years) but thats natural. her children comes first and she would give her life for us, and we know that. she extremely opinionated tho, which can be rough sumtimes becuz she has a tendency to look at the "glass half empty". but she considers herself cautious. im more of a free spirit. like lets try this and she how it goes, so we tend to clash in that area. but otherwise our relationship is very close. we can talk to each other about anything, we laug, joke, and play around constantly. but i admire my mother in so many ways. she very determined and very strong and bout my sister and i up to be strong women. my father is a virgo sun aqu/picses moon (depends on what time he was born) and my sister and i have a great relationship with him as well. we're definately daddys girls. hes also supportive and their whenever we need him. he's also a lot of fun to be with. we have a lot of fun with both of our parents (as long as their not together...lol) we're just blessed i guess.

I have an Aqua mom. I love her! Everyone wants to adopt her as their mom. I wouldn't trade her for the world.

My dad was a cancer. Let's just say I wasn't a fan.

Know the feeling, i have a Cancer dad! strangely all of my long term relationships have been with cancerians and i cant stand them! but like they say you always end up going for someone like your father! I now ask any guy who i met when his birthday is and if he is a Cancerian i run a mile lol

but back to mothers, I lived with my friends family for a while when I was younger (me and my parents really didnt get along!) her mother was a leo and her dad was a Libra, and i thought they were amazing! strangley though my friend was also a libra and her mother drove her crazy and she really wanted my mum! hmmm maybe some people are just never happy with what they have got lol

I think a virgo parent would have been good for me. I could have used more discipline and encouragement to be productive. Though, my grandpa made an excellent virgo influnce. It's a real shame he couldn't have lived longer.

aqua...def not. As friends I like them, esp if they are younger and less likely to talk down. My aunt is aqua. We are very close. She's like an almost mom, tho that is largely because she cose to not have her own kids. But she can get too bossy and dogmatic for my taste.

cancer...maybe a cancer dad would be ok, but not a cancer mom. My stepmom (from age 3.5 til my dad separated from her a week after I turned 25, just before thanksgiving) is a cancer...in every sense of the word. Ha! But really, we were SOOOOO close until I stopped jumping through hoops, then she went psycho on me. But to be fair, she's also crazy, even by cancer standards.

leo mom... Great, at least in hindsight. Loving, supportive, loyal. We had our rough patch, but I blame external stresses. I think it would have been better if circumstances had been different.

taurus dad... I can say the same. He had to coddle the crazy bitch, and it hurt our relationship. But at heart he was really loving and doting and had the potential to do much better. Unfortunately he has a thing for underdogs, which is how he saw her. He saw me as much stronger and less needy than I was/am, so expected me to be ok on my own. Since getting older and communicating about my feelings more, our relationship has become much better.

oh. Speaking of virgo and cancer... My libra cousin (girl, 22) has a virgo mom and cancer dad, and she's definitely more pulled together and happy and such than I am. So yeah, I'll stand behind that pairing as good parents for libra.

cancer moms aren't good, because cancers need to be prima donna. Libras don't want to feel like they're in a competition against their own mom.

a cancer father would depend on his wife/her mother. I think the nature of the husband/wife relationship is why he's a good father to my cousin, and that cancer men are capable of being good or bad fathers depending.
