The Family you grew up with

So here's a topic dedicated to the family you have/had and how they influenced your development.

In my immediate family I have/had
1 Gemini Grandmother
1 Virgo [3rd Decan] Grandad

1 Gemini Uncle
1 Gemini Aunt
1 Capricorn Mom
1 Capricorn Uncle
2 Aquarius Uncles
1 Leo Aunt
1 Aries Uncle

I have never had interaction with Water signs growing up in the house. Everyone was serious and spent their time often debating scientific, theological and intellectual pursuits.

There was no crying, rare emotional outbursts and a lot of emphasis on discipline. No wonder why I can't relate to water signs.

Coupled with the fact there were no children my age in the neighbourhood I was left to grow up with adults. Debating grew to be my past time. I took influences from my uncles, seeing as I had no father present.

My interests were guided in Sciences by the Aquarian uncles.
Boxing by my Capricorn uncle.
Weightlifting and Basketball by my Gemini Uncle.

Religious interests generated by
Gemini Grandmom and Aries uncle.

Academics were pushed by Aunts and Mom.

Discipline was the sole focus of Grandad.

My immediate family:

Libra Mom
(3rd Decan Virgo) Dad
Sag (Twin) sister
Sag younger brother


Religion/emotional support - My Libra Mom

My Dad being a police officer, I grew up respecting authority;
and always striving to do the right thing.
I never did drugs (well, pot a few times,but got tonsillitis, so had to stop ..lol).
My Dad loved to play board games with us! I still love to play them.

My Sag twin and I were like best friends but we did get on each other's nerves.(we are competitive with each other).
-Now my sis is trying to see how many more friends on facebook she can get! Annoying...
My Sag little bro is funny, impatient, and showed me humor, has a great respect for women.

Both my brother and I drive fast...

Aaawww ^^

She says he died young because he was working so much.

Sounds like a Capricorn lol

I can totally relate Cajun, I haven't had much water influence either.


Mom = Leo Sun/Sagi Moon
She has always been a very supportive and encouraging mother. She always encouraged/cultivated my creativity and encouraged me to be independent and speak my mind.

Dad = Aqua Sun/Sagi Moon
A man of very few words. Parenting was not his thing - I think we confused him and made him uncomfortable.
He hasn't really given me much advice, but the few times he has it was in relation to some kind of heartbreak at the hands of friends or boyfriends. Basically, he taught me people suck, they're probably going to let you down if you let them, learn to rely on yourself, and don't let anyone in your life be more important than you (until you have children, of course, then that changes the game.)

Oh & he taught me to stand up for myself from a very young age - he's partially the reason I was such a scrapper in my younger years.

Sister (younger, 13 months) = Aqua Sun/Scorp Moon

Maternal Gparents = Caps
*really big influence on me. They mean the world to me, I secretly have always adored them most out of anyone in my life.
Their opinion always mattered most to me, even since I was a small child. You could punish me all day long and I'd act unfazed, but threaten to tell grandma and grandpa and I'd start balling.

Paternal Gpa = Taurus


Other:
Paternal Gma = Scorpio (she wasn't around much after I was about 3 or 4 and she passed away years ago now.)

My twin cousins = Pisces, we were all very close like sisters until one of them passed away and my aunt and uncle got really weird. Aunt = Virgo (biggest bitch I know) Uncle = Leo.
I wouldn't consider any of them influences on my life anyways.

Some of my first best friends, who I would consider somewhat of an influence maybe (although I'm more of the leader type, not easily influenced at all) =
Leo, Libra, (a very airy) Virgo, Sagittarius.

I was friends with kids my age, but I preferred to be around adults, or older friends.

pops virgo/leo i think he says his bday is jun 24 though oh well
mom-scorpio(emotional, and it pisses me off alot)
sister-libra(like my twin mentally butolder than me)

LOL No, but I will admit that between the bickering, dramz and other, the food fights with all of us were SPECTACULAR. Fun with all that Fire sparking round.

my mother is a cappy, father is a pisces (believe me, it sucks)
aunt is cappy, uncle is a pisces (coincidence? lol)

brother 1 & 2: sagittarius
brother 3: leo

needless to say i pretty much stood out among my siblings growing up. their fire scorched my poor earth

cousin 1: pisces, very eccentric, a little distant, always been considered weird within the family, loves to travel
cousin 2: taurus, very laid back, extremely nice and innocent, a bit lazy lol, loves food and wine and fashion
cousin 3: cancer, annoying, arrogant, self absorbed, always running off with girls, pretty much excommunicated
cousin 4: gemini, ditzy princess type, also obsessed with travel, workaholic, crazy adventurous (she skydives and all that fun stuff)

my grandparents were pisces grandfather + aquarius grandmother
and aquarius grandfather + sagittarius grandmother

note that all three sagi's in the family have severe mental issues

Mother: Scorpio- She took me everywhere and got my into alot of different activites. Very loving and sweet, but she had a very bad temper if crossed.
Grandmother: Virgo- She reminded me so much of myself. She was a teacher, loved to read and write. Loved to cook. Very humble and down to earth. She was always helping others in our community.
Both taught me to be humble, and well disciplined.

Aunt-Sagi
Aunt-Cancer
Uncle-Cap
Uncle-Virgo
Unlce-Aqua

I grew up with:

grandmother - pisces
grandfather - aries
best friend #1 - cancer
best friend #2 - capricorn

my family is small and strange. i had cousins randomly come in and out of my life but they moved house a lot. the rest of the family moved out of state so we hardly saw them. my mother (gemini) saw me sporadically but not enough to influence my life. i do have a half brother (cancer) but he is 10 years my junior and was raised by my mom whereas i wasn't (see: grandparents).

Best friend #1 was like a sister to me. We became friends in daycare (I think 4 years old) and we became close when we had the same kindergarten class. By 1st grade we were best friends and she started staying at my home on weekends. Seriously, every friday she would come home with me after school and stay until sunday evening. She also went on family vacations and even occupied our spare bedroom as if it were actually hers. She drove me nuts back then! I was much more of a brazen leo as kid and she was as cancer-y as you could get! The unfortunate part of the relationship was that it really only worked out because she allowed me to dominate it. I was kinda mean to her and I only just realized, in my adulthood, that it was because I didn't respect her. I didn't respect her because she allowed me to control and dominate. Sad 😢

Best friend #2 was my next door neighbor for years. She was such a little brat when I first met her at school but when she realized we lived next to each other she flipped a 180. I butted heads with her quite a bit but she and i had a deep respect for each other. We didn't hold grudges and we got over any emotional outbursts quickly. I liked being around her with Bestie #1 because I had a hard time handling #1's constant emotionally sensitive state.

CancerMoon I don't think I would survive in your shoes lol

It'd be funny if you ended up marrying a Cap with an earth moon/venus lol!! Maybe not cuz you'd miss and/or need water. I can't do water. : /

Mother: Taurus
Father: Scorpio
Step-Father: Virgo

Did not get along w/my mother
Rocky (competitive) relationship with my Aries brother
Violent and sometimes loving relationship with my Leo brother
Stubborn relationship with my Virgo Step-father

LOL I know what you mean.

Let's see...

Sisters: Cap, Aquas, Leo and Cancer
Brothers: Aqua, Sags

Cousins boys and girls:Virgo, Taurus, Caps, (2)Pisces, Aries, Sag and Scorp.

Aunts: Cancer, Aqua and Aries
Uncles: Sag, Taurus and Libra


Grandmother: Cap. Her hubby was a cancer.


That's all I can think now... I'm tired. time for the gym.

Coming out of hiding for this one. I won't list my aunt uncles and cousins. I grew up around them, but it's just too many.

Father- Cancer
Mother- Third Decan Virgo
Brother- Pisces
Brother- Libra
Me- First Decan Virgo

Message cutoff, ack. Growing up my parents were separated before I was one and I spent most time with my mom and Libra brother. Pisces brother is almost ten years older than me and acted like a father figure at times. I've always been able to tap into my emotions with my Pisces brother, gain some clarity with my Libra brother, and butt heads like no other with my Virgo mother. As for my dad, he seems to be just a big bag of emotions.

Dad- Aries (his mom, Cancer/ his dad, Capricorn)

Mom- Cancer (her mom, Virgo w Cancer Moon/ her dad, Libra w Virgo Moon)


Me-
Lil' Bro- Aqua w Virgo Moon
Older Sis- Leo w Sag Moon
Oldest Sis- Taurus w Scorp Moon


I didn't grow up with my sisters who were from my dad's prior marriage to a Sag. I was closer to my mom's side growing up. We are all very independent and driven individuals. Love each other fiercely, but are all so caught up in our own lives that we barely talk, call, or visit with one another. Still, the unspoken love is there.
