Astrology's Best and Worst Parents

[sexy_cancer24]

I'm a cancer sun/aquarius moon woman and my boyfriend is a virgo sun/pisces moon. We spent the last couple of days babysitting my two small cousins while my Aunt was out of town. Not to toot my own horn, but I was pretty awesome at it and my boyfriend loved it (it was really cute to see him with babies). I adore children and want a big family later on (4 kids). I know parenting is much more in depth than just a couple of overnight stays, but I've read that cancer women (sun or moon) make the best mothers and pisces men (sun or moon) make the best fathers. I haven't heard anything about which sign makes the worst father, but I have a few friends with capricorn mothers and they HATE her. Seriously, every single one of them hates their capricorn mother.
What do you guys think?
What sign makes the best/worst mothers and what sign makes the best/worst fathers?

I completely forgot about placements beyond sun signs. You're right that probably would give a more accurate input.
I also forgot to mention one of my friends is a capricorn. She has 1 daughter and I feel so bad for that little girl. My cap friend does not really enjoy being a mom and she'd rather be at work so her pisces husband is left to to take care of the child. Not trying to bash capricorn moms, I'm just telling what I know.

highly dubious of the parenting ability of anyone with a Leo Moon.
Except for someone with a Cancer Sun, because then the Sun and Moon are in mutual reception and compliment each other beautifully. My Grandmother (whose birthday is today :D) is one such person. She is warm and generous and expresses pride in the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren.

I suspect Leo Suns would make similarly poor parents
I think that they are rather proud and need the loyalty of their children, and at the same time, they are warm, playful, gregarious, and generous.

Or Leo suns can be perfectionists who never really fully accept the fact that their children don't worship their feet or follow every career goal the Leo has planned for them. Heh. Sucks.

I think that can be true. My Mom wasn't like that. Actually, it might have been nice if she did have some expectations for me to fill. My mother gave me a lot of freedom and didn't force any of her own life goals or expectations onto me- her Sun-Uranus conjunction falls on my Moon and my Uranus falls on her Moon-Neptune conjunction. Her Sun-Uranus conjunction in the 1st house makes her somewhat more unconventional than the typical Leo.

My boyfriend's mother is also a Leo Sun and she is more of the type you are describing. She expects her three sons to be stars. Even with her Cancer Moon there is always the feeling around her that we all should be striving to be famous, accomplished, the recipients of accolades and awards, etc...and that wanting those things should be our goal, but in reality, that is what she wants and she transfers her wants onto her children.

Kinda on point there. The wierd thing is Leos sometimes have been so spoiled that they dont mind passing down the blessings to their own child and find it strange that the child doesnt take the handouts they are offering to follow their parents steps. My Leo friend is 50 and gives her daughter everything and offered to help her start a business but her daughter refuses to get any wits about how to do that. Shes a Pisces, I believe.

Not all Cappy men are like that and actualy the Earth Cardinal father is much more paternal then what people expect. And I can atest to that.

[Brittany]

I agree.

Interesting! My mom was a Cancer sun with Libra moon and Libra rising, and she was a good, if distant mother. I knew that if I ever had a problem, she'd be there to help or listen, but she also was into living her own life and expected once we became adults to be able to make it on their own. And my father, who I miss everyday and adored when he was still here, was a Pisces sun with Cancer moon and Libra rising and an AMAZING father. So you may have something there! Though I really can't see my Pisces ex being a good dad. Maybe when he grows up some.

I have cousins of all sun signs with children, and to me, the best mothers of the bunch have been the Virgos and Geminis. The ones I would run from and whose children seem to not want to even be near them are Capricorn and Aquarius, respectively.

My cancer dad is an a-hole. He has pisces in there too, forget if its his rising or moon. Now, it varies from person to person. My mom is also a cancer but with scorpio rising, and she was decent but she admits the majority of my life was spent with me teaching HER something.

I'm a pisces sun with virgo rising and gemini moon.

I LOVE kids and every decision I make (like big lifechanging ones), I think about how that would affect my kids. I don't know if I'll be a good mother because I am obviously not one yet but I sure will try my best to simply be a mother for them :o)

Ha! My dad's a cancer and he's an asshole too. I need to figure out his chart because we haven't gotten along since childhood lol
I think when the time comes Little One we'll be good moms :).........

You're so sweet :o) I dropped my Libra ex when I heard he went back to doing drugs (and dropping out of school) because I thought it wouldn't be good for my future kids. I know there's other stuff (like me having to deal with that), but the first thing I remember thinking was about the kids.

I just realized, my Virgo sun Pisces rising boyfriend loves kids. He takes care of the youth group at his church :o) doesn't hurt that he's not into drugs hahaha ;) other things that I've noticed about me also is that whenever I took care of my ex's niece, I was the only one able to discipline her that she would actually listen. She never took anyone else seriously (duh everyone else was hiiigh as a kite, including the grandparents).

I think if you're already having such a good experience with other peoples' kids (and you gotta admit, you don't know what to expect because you didn't raise them), you'll be a faaab parental unit :o)

Xoxoxo
