Parents and their natal influence

What are your parents signs?

How do you think their signs, placements, characters have influenced you?

My mum is an Aquarius and as a Taurus, I can honestly say I have been much more of a mother figure to her than the other way around! I guess because of her I'm not afraid to let my weirdness or 'individuality' show. As for my dad, he is a cancer and well I'm just as moody as him! (I have a Cancer in moon.)

Both Leos. I'm more laid back and less likely to mew out loud as a result hah.

lol this really made me chuckle. i can just see two leo parents trying to pot the spotlight on their lil bling tot and unwittingly stealing it.

I always felt like I was more of the parent figure than either of them ever was.

Honestly, neither one of them were ever in contention for any parents of the year awards. lol

HIGH FIVE! Couldn't have said it better myself. From my personal experience Aquarius women make bad parents.

my mother is a gemini and my father is an aquarius.

they were divorced by the time i was 6. my dad remarried a cancer.

both my parents have hands off parenting style s. they have always been more my friends than my parents. always there for the discipline and basic needs, but everything else was up to me even as a kid. being cap brings it's own level of independence, but with parents like mine, i've turned into a notorious free spirit.

my dad is passionately career driven. loves what he does more than anyone i know. he's openly social with everyone, has a strong presence in any sized gathering and loves his own sense of humor... it's almost narcissistic. he's also an awesome story teller.

my mom is very much a free spirit herself. she is a complete sweetheart, very feminine, loves her own social life, young at heart and pretty much does what she wants.

my dad thinks i take after him more, but i think it's an even split.

my cancer step-mom was tough growing up with... biggest understatement ever... but i love her to death. if it werent for her... i wouldnt be the somewhat skilled adult i am today. she put me in all the extracurriculars i wanted to get into. definitely her way of nurturing if only to get my "bratty and manipulative" butt outa the house. lololol we get along great now.

My mom's an Aquarius and my Dad's a Leo. Growing up I was a daddy's girl but when we moved I was about seven and we became less close. I have nothing against him my mom's the one who moved us across country after all. I've found that no matter how much time goes my or how far away I am I still love him dearly and we get along. My older sister- also a Leo- was always closer to him. But I know he loves me. He hasn't had much influence on me or my upbringing though.

My mom...where to start. We have a better understanding of each other now than we did a few years ago. My main complaint is that she can be overbearing. She's always trying to "help" me or give me "suggestions." Mind you, I don't normally ask for any advice or suggestions. It can be really annoying.

I love her, and she really looks out for me. But we all know Aquarius moms are annoying. My house was very matriarchal and my mom is a very domineering Aquarius. Being a Virgo I think it sometimes takes a lot for me to try and understand some of my mom's decisions. And if I try to question things she does- even in a polite way- she's on the defensive. And for someone born under a sign known for being pretty dynamic and open my mom's really old school. That grind my gears.

Mom(Aqua)
Dad(Capricorn)

They were both 17yrs old when I was born. Since it was something that just happened one night between them, my dad didnt know she was pregnant, so he didnt find out about me until i was three.

Anyway, my story is the same as the others with an Aqua parent. "I" was parenting since the age of five. Watching her cry over this one, finshing her sentences about that one, telling her to keep another one away cause i didnt like him, etc. My mom, my sis and I grew up like sisters with me being more of the mother figure for them both. I was born with a strong sense of right/wrong, and nearly everything she did was wrong lol.

I love my mother though. Very protective over her, and since she was a young single parent AND an Aqua, my sister and I decided to count the number of times we've moved from house to house, and it was over 30 lol, smh. If nothing else, shes taught me how to survive and adapt to whatever. It takes a lot to phase my sis and I, and we both have extremely understanding natures, of/about everything and thats due to my mom. NOTHING was sugarcoated around us either, so we heard it all very early. I think overall, our upbringing has made us all(mom, sis, and I) some very tough individuals.

Mommy: Sun Leo, Moon Sagittarius, Mercury Virgo, Venus Libra, Mars Leo

Dad: Sun Aqua, Moon Sagittarius, Mercury Aqua, Venus Aries, Mars Scorpio

My parents were high school sweethearts...they had me very young, still in high school...mom went to a special school for teen moms to finish, I went with her 🙂
Dad didn't get to finish, he went to work full time to take care of us.

They didn't do too bad considering. They did the best they could, and it sounds weird for me to say this...but I am so proud of both of them. I wouldn't trade them for the world.

I'm a Sagittarius Sun, Leo Moon...reverse of my mom... she's literally my best friend in this whole world.
She's my #1 fan, supported every decision I've ever made, always treated me like an individual from the time I was born. She always talked to me like an adult, took me everywhere with her, involved me, etc. She has her moments...she is very dramatic and has a quick/sometimes irrational temper...but she was a very warm, loving, and affectionate mother.

With my dad it's more complicated...I remember thinking from a young age that he didn't love me and my sister...even though he was always there and financially supported us (we never wanted/needed anything that he didn't make sure we had,)
I was a very observant child...I noticed he wasn't there for any of us emotionally. He was very detached and cold.
& he wasn't like that with other kids, friends of the family. He hugged and played with them, while hardly even interacting with us...unless it was to yell at us/punish us. In his defense, he comes from a similar upbringing, so he was probably just following by example, being what he thought a father was supposed to be.
BUT I am glad to say our relationship has improved greatly in the recent years...especially with him and my mom almost splitting a couple years ago and me moving away to college. Also, he's getting older, probably just now finally maturing. We talk now! (I know that sounds weird, but literally we didn't before,) have inside jokes, actually hug hello and goodbye. It's a lot better. 🙂 & I can sincerely say I don't hold any bitterness in my heart towards him. I acknowledge and accept the past and look forward to the future. You only get one dad, and you know, I have to give him credit for sticking around after becoming a father so young.

Mom: aquarius
Dad: scorp

I also felt/feel more like the parent in both realtionships.

Dad and mom divorced when I was two...the were both young and in party mode (still are in a sense) dad took me but my grandma raised me ...mom didnt seem to care and was in and out...whenever it was convient for her.
My dad always said he could never understand a woman carrying a child for 9 months and not have that bond with their child.

Now that we are older...I get along better with my dad (im def like him in a lot of ways) ...we butt heads but he gets me.
Me and mom are still the same lol. And probably always will be.

They both taught me to not be like them and so far I havent.
Everything I've learned in life was from my aries grandma.

My mother is the most intelligent person I know. She was brilliant in her youth and spent a lot of her time studying. In addition to that, she was drop dead gorgeous ( blue eyes, blonde hair, tall and slim). Then, one day she just went schizophrenic and no treatment could help her get better. I was one year old and she decided to get a divorce. My father left the country but he got back 6 years later, due to my grandfather's (my mother's dad) pleas. He knew my mother wouldn't be able to take care of me in the long run as her situation only deteriorated each year. They got remarried and had a horrible relationship for the next 8 years. My dad was my hero, as he was the only one showing me any affection and taking care of me, while my mother got progressively aggressive. In the end she started cheating (my dad forgave her each time) and at some point she met another man and decided to discard us. We barely speak nowadays.

I read somewhere that people with an Aries moon (I'm a Virgo sun, Aries moon), have battlegrounds as families while growing up and this certainly rang true for me.

Both Aquariuses!!

And I'm an airy Libra with lots of Aqua, including the rising.

Lots of yapping, but shit never got done. Lol

Plus, I had to learn to accept the fact that my parents were not "like everyone else", and never would be. 😛
