My mom is a Leo.

My father is a Gemini.

I was a daddy's girl.

My mother was too oppressive, demanding, controlling, and difficult to communicate with.

There was no rationalization with her.

So I avoided her at all costs. Putting a damp in our relationship.

I am older now, and we're trying to build a relationship, it's improving, but I will admit, still awkward.

My father was a great listener, great communicator, and always pushed me to break boundaries.

The ability to think critically, ask questions, explore every option the world has to offer.

Defintely played a key role in my upbringing.

We have a great relationship. Always have.

Libra Dad: Hes more like my best friend. He has a lot of trouble understanding me at times.. We share some interests. He also is the HUGEST player. He goes from one chick to the next he is also a Goldigger.

Scorpio Mum: She can be a bitch at times.. but she is probably one of the most loving mothers you could ask for. She always wants a man in her life, she gets really lonely and rely's on them alot.. which is weird too me but w/e.

My dad cheated on her when i was 6.

My mom was super sweet, generous, talented, and loving. She was a libra with a cancer moon (I think). She was really gifted when it came to art and was a star athlete which is funny because my sister and I are so clumsy and not athletic by any means lol.

My dad is an Aqua with Scorpio moon. He's controlling, mean spirited, he doesn't like women, is a womanizer, and he's a user and abusive. He's always got ulterior motives and is super secretive. I am always one step ahead and know the shit he's up to. I've been known to reveal his womanizing ways to his current endeavors 😆 He and I have always had a power struggle. It's a very difficult and strained relationship. We don't like each other.
Interesting. I hope things are going fine for your family though. 😄 What confuses me is that your dad does not like women, but is a womanizer? What's with that lol

Interesting. I have a close friend who is Leo and her daughter is Taurus. Wanna talk about constant issues. The daughter sees things much like you do. They've had some blow it up, shouting matches. Insanity. The Leo mom has been called demanding and overbearing. The daughter has been called dismissive, unfocused, lazy. I guess because I had such a great relationship with my mom, I find it hard to hear that thus happens.

Mom - cool/fun Leo

Dad- strict/emotionless Aquarius

Was your mum controlling? 🙂

Scorpio mum-controlling, worked ALOT, emotionally not so available (could be cultural) fast paced. Unable to stop and smell the roses so to speak. Mysterious somehow.

Sag dad-moody, caring, funny, intellectual, genuinely engages in interesting subjects...bond grown more over time.
Your mum's a really hardworking individual. My dad is somewhat like your mum. I was wondering if it's because scorpios will only be emotionally unavailable only until we have gained their trust

Late Dad was an Aries, Mom is a Leo.

I was daddy's little princess. He would always brag about me to relatives and friends. My mom and I clashed. She was very controlling and always nagged. I hated the drama.

Wanna throw in my sibs. Brother is a Scorpio, sister is a Pisces. And then there's me, little Libra. All that fire and water in our household resulted in chaos. One would think they're always yelling at each other when in fact they're just having normal conversations. Lol.
You're the only air sign hahaha was it hard to get along with your family? 🙂

Mum's a gemini with moon, mercury & venus in cancer. I don't know her rising.

She has her good sides, but unfortunately her dominant sides are the negative ones: she's selfish, holds grudges for AGES, a total martyr with little or no empathy. It's all about her, her, her.

Dad is an aries with moon in virgo and lots of taurus positions, don't know his rising either. He's stubborn and refuses to accept help from anybody, but he's a lovely person. His issues I think are more to do with a messed up childhood than astrology.

@TheLibraMudra Thanks for making it easier to describe about my mom with a little bit of difference. With your permission I am copying of what you described

Sagii mom...

Asian. Yells a lot. Big heart. Hardest working person I've ever known. Breadwinner of the family, she is a gynecologist. Not flashy. Neither take care of herself. Very opinionated & stubborn. Not very supportive emotionally or cuddly. She shows love by giving you money, shopping sprees and shoving your face hole with rice. Charitable. Were physically abusive to her sons.

Leo dad...

Silent, caring, whimp to his wife(mom). Very proud as a family man. Cooks & cleans. Dress smart. Flashy. Luxurious. Short tempered. Difficult to communicate. Love the limelight.

Never gone well with both of them while growing up but still loves them.
