Scorpio Sun and Relation to Father

Me: 8th house Scorpio Sun, ruler-Mars in Libra. More Virgo in my chart than anything else, and eternally harassed by a fragile, overly empathic Pisces Rising.
Dad: Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon, Cancer Rising. No noticeable Scorpio or Libra in his chart; neither sign nor house.

I ran over a beautiful red fox last night while driving. He was just a baby. I love foxes, almost as much as wolves. I've considered trapping as a sport, but know for certain I'd let a fox go if I ever caught one. I saw the confusion in him as he ran towards my car, darting left-and-right and probably semi-blinded by my lights (it was dark). I didn't react physically (normally slow to react, Pisces Rising), and knew he made it past the first wheel, but hoped he'd stay between the wheels, and then I heard... the thump. He'd come back to the first wheel. Somehow I knew this, by the pattern of his movements. I pulled over, turned around, and went back to check on him. Sprawled and unmarred, save for a slight nick in one hind leg. Very still; eyes open and unmoving. At least it was instant, I tell myself. After a few moments, and a hesitant poke-retract to make sure he wouldn't come to, and snap around and bite me... I carefully gathered both back paws to gently tug him off the side of the road. I didn't want him to get ground in by further vehicles. It seemed the right thing to do. In moving him, I heard (and felt) the horrible crackling and looseness of a severely broken back. At least it was instant, I tell myself... I imagine the pain he'd be in otherwise. I set him in a safe-looking niche out of the way, and whisper sorry to whomever of the beyond may be listening. Mostly to the fox, with no clue if it's heard, or accepted.

I get home and Dad notices I'm sad, asks what's wrong. Perceptive, he is. Intuitive, he is. I tell him what happened and that I moved the fox off the side of the road. I don't tell him my whispered words. Dad is always promoting a 'good image' in me, and is easily disappointed and embarrassed when I do anything outside his preferred pretty image. My Libra-ruled Mars.

Perceptive, intuitive, 3-water-sign Dad. None of it Scorpio. All of it sensitive and nurturing. Right?

Dad: Where'd you hit it?
Me: Just down the street.
Dad: Let's go see.

We get there...

Dad: Here, you hold the flashlight. I'll get a picture.
Me: But he's dead.
Dad: Awww, it looks like he's sleeping!
Me: Yeah, with his eyes open.
Dad: You know, for $ 100 you could get it stuffed.

LOL

I mean... bad birdie! BAD!

I ran over a spotted owl once with my Semi on the Pacific Coast Highway in California.
That was about 20 years ago.

A few years before that, I killed two birds with one big rig on I-44 in Oklahoma - One birdie bounced off the left windshield and the other bounced off the right. They were engaged in a mating ritual. That's foreplay for birds.
Anyway, I'll never forget that.

That's really true. Firebird don't lie.

I apologize if that was too graphic for your age.

He DOES have a point.

^^^^ However, I don't think animals should be treated like trophies.

Sorry to hear of your experience.

Love, love, Pisces sarcasm/humor.

My Dad was a Pisces. In the days before Cell phones when we broke down in one of the many different vehicles we had to drive, we would just chant his name. He always showed up. Lol

He had a fantastic sense of Humor... and such a softy.
If we wanted treats after school the 5 of us would start describing the chocolate bars or donuts. Worked every time. Lol

Forgot to mention. I've had foxes cut through, possibly live on my property.
I live in the middle of a decent size town. 7 miles away from the nearest wildland.

In numerology
FOX = 666

I am NOT making that up.

Enjoy every moment you have with him... even when he drives you crazy. 🙂

If only I had daughters like you.

Time for a new thread.

In all honesty, his comments and attitude toward the fox didn't bother me so much. I'm used to it all. I grew up with him and I love my dad. 😄 I took after him since I was 5... his little clone. I'm sensitive sometimes, but I'm caustic, too.

It's just that in studying astrology, I've come to realize his interactions with me over the years are SO unmatching of his chart (Pisces/Cancer/Cancer). xD And I've learned that Sun represents relationship with the father, and Moon represents relationship with the mother. He's very Virgoan to my Virgo-sun brother, and Mom is very Virgoan to me, the Virgo-moon. In all the nit-picky never-good-enough sorta ways. She's Pisces/Pisces/Cancer. So there's that connection to reinforce this idea for me. He's even, actually, rather Leo-like to my other Leo-sun brother. Pushes the Virgo to be more perfect and the Leo to be more ambitious; spotlight-seeking. And for some reason all this was sorta 'clicking' in the background while out there on the road.

We also had a passerby come through while he was taking pictures. All my paranoid alarms went off: Dad, dad, someone's coming! Nobody's ever out here on this road at night! Well, we are, but we're being weird. Dad, someone's coming!

The guy was on a midnight stroll for some reason... Dad tried showing him the picture and the guy hurried off, creeped out by us.

Plus it was comical, so I figured y'all could share in the laugh. ^_^
