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?

You know i kinda think it depends on the child and their needs as to how they would rate their ideal parents.

exactly!

LOL, I know a Cap mom and Libra child and Libras are babies. THIS IS MY CUP type of ish is rediculous to us and that batting of the eye and puppy dog face only goes so far before NO ITS A WEEKNIGHT comes into play :) I mean are really upset that Cap Mom didnt let you party and encouraged you to stay home, out of trouble, and study????

I always said I dont want to do the Libra thing. I want a Cap child who can appreciate my boundaries and listen intently when I share my knowledge of this world. I understand Cap children such as my Godson so well. My BFF and her mom are both Caps and her mom says she was like the best child because she embodied herself (mom) and what parent doesnt want that. Like the earlier post said it depends on your needs. Like my mom said, 'different strokes, different folks' and shes a Scorpio BTW, a little to attached to my dad's BS but one of the BEST!

I find it depends on the astrology combination of parent and child. I know Capricorn parents who are loved by their children. A good friend who is a male Virgo loved his Cap father so much he wrote a whole book about it.

I don't think you can say one sign is better than the other. It truly depends on the chemistry. Some signs get along better than others and understand one another better.

Very true Capricorn

Also life experience.........and what type of parents they themselves had......

Cappies can make very good mothers and fathers

I dont actually believe parenting is to do wth star signs.......it is you decision to be a good parent and the willingness to

Anyway.........parenting is so hard........no one is going to get it right.......

I think if you are alive they did not abuse you or go mental...............they have been good parents..........

I don think it is an astrology thing..............it really annoys me when people say one sign is better at this than another...........i mean how weak minded are human beings if all that is determined at the time of our birth.........surely free will comes into it into how you develop and the will of those around you.

We have choices.

otherwise if we were to commit a crime we could say..........it is cause of my rising you know not my fault..............it is passing the blame...........people are bad parents becasue they are.........and people are good parents becasue they work damned hard at it...........it is no easier for any sign to be a parent..........

It is really actually insulting to someone to say she is a brilliant mum and it is to do with her sign........it was just as hard for her as anyone else..she just got up off her ass and worked at it

All signs have different attributes that could be good for parenting from Cappies to Aqurians.......you just use the ones you have the best you can and try to work on those you dont.

And not every native is like their sign

[Sarakit]

oh i totally agree with the free choice thing. We have free choice to be the kind of parent we want, but i think forum's question is more of who naturally has the tendency. It's just like some people are awesome athletes without really training too hard and yet others train all the time and never make the big time.
Really when you take it all in, Sun sign is just a drop in the bucket.

[CoCo]

Everything has something to do with astrology, you just have to get deep enough to understand it all and that takes time and dedication.

[Mariah.Voss]

well ithink its how ever the people get along.

my moms a Leo sun/Aqua Moon.
i always felt she lacked the emotional connection/sensitivity i needed growing up.
and she was VERY over dramatic, ALWAYS loud, says her opinions freely despite it hurting others, yelled alot, i remember her being angry most of the time. but veryyyyyy generous

so it didn't work for me, my younger brother doesn't mind it at much. hes a gemini

and Dad is a Aquarius sun/ Pisces Moon
i like his moon.....when he actually SHOWS it, hes also more understanding than my mother. seldom angry. not loud at all but LOTS of Fun.
he's a character that one.

so while i didn't feel like i had that full family connection with my parents, my other siblings did.
soooo i guess its a personal thing, different for everyone.

I personally take the view that every sign has its light side and its shadow side.

I will say that my Cancer grandfather was incredibly controlling. Not because he didn't love his family.... exactly the opposite. He loved his wife and children so much he was completely invested in everything they did. In some ways, that's even scarier, because you could never argue with him. Because he loved you, and for a Cancer, quite often the fact that they love you ends the argument. I'm making him sound really terrible and he wasn't, he was a wonderful and truly honorable patriarch in so many ways. But he did a lot of damage to his relationship with my mother (imagine a poor Sagittarius caught in that situation!), and drove his eldest son across the country. I say this only to demonstrate how some of the things that make a Cancer a typically wonderful parent, can also be bad qualities if they're taken too far.

In contrast, I'm a Scorpio and my mom is a Sagittarius, and in theory we should not get along at all... I say thank God I had a Sagittarius mom because she is very straightforward, honest and fair and has always encouraged those tendencies in me... which is a great antidote to Scorpio's tendencies to be introverted, "sneaky" and suspicious. Sometimes she really doesn't get me emotionally, but nobody's perfect.

I have a Libra mom...she is great mom.....she will go to the ends of the earth for us.....but she is an irresponsible adult.....bad with money and everything else..I think since she had us when she was young she matured extremely well in motherhood and did not leave room for herself.....one thing that annoyed me growing up is he meltdowns....im a gem...but when i feel a meltdown coming on i isolate myself..she always had to let the whole world know...taurus father.....always respected him as a person but not as a father....he left my mother with us...always had gifts but no time...now resent that i never had an father-daugher relationship....makes me guarded to all men...im a gem mother....dote upon my son because he is mine...i read that gems place all that energy into their children out of vanity because they are a peice of themselves...thats how i feel...my son has to have everything and more because he is my child....always trying to make sure i am doing things with him..missed out on that because both my parents worked....his father is a cancer.....big ahole.....loves him but hasnt gotten used to the fact that i cannot baby him ...also my world revolves around the baby then me ..then the him...we're not married so i think i am right.....he has tons of leo so he needs attention all the time....

I think taurus men make good fathers, and cancer sun/moon women make wonderful mothers, along with scorpio moms (I think they're really involved in their children's lives, for better or worse).

The worst parents...aries can be difficult, and I think aquarius men can be good fathers (some of them) but I think the rest aren't very involved in their children's lives...they try to be their 'friends' and not a parent.

[CoCo]

Aries are like 'because I said so' parents with no explanation... that is...... well irritating

[SueJung]

I think I would be that sort of parent. My Mom (Leo) is like that. So sad.
