All sorts of fascinating astro-relations show up in families. The ones I notice most often are that children tend to have the same Rising Sign as the Sun or Rising of their parents AND strong synastry (inter-chart aspects) involving the karmic Moon’s Nodes. But the Sun sign relations are fun and useful to observe.  Or even just the Elements.

When I was growing up, one of my first astro-observations were my Water Sign cousins. Five of them – all in one family and with Capricorn parents who did not know WHAT had hit them. The Capricorns worked like maniacs to provide every education, sustenance, comfort & security. They were uber-Earth-signs. The two Pisceans, two Scorps and one Cancerian were all towering blue-eyed tornadoes of drama, seances, romance, intrigue, science fantasy, tears, more drama, passion and apparent inability to live via any known earthly routine what-so-ever. Whether the Water Sign children were refusing to touch money, running away to join the Hare Krishnas, adopting elaborate disguises in which to attend a school they were not enrolled at or breeding ravens in the treehouse, they lived by other-worldly rituals that sent the Capricorns mad.

It helps SO much to know that a Cancerian parent WILL go ape if you dislike the food they cooked for you whilst a Gemini would be more likely to be irritated if you failed to pass on good goss. Or, more elegantly, “useful intelligence.” Try a quick analysis of the Elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water signs) in your family of origin – see if it fits.

This is a way simplistic but interesting way to think a la astro & parenting. Everyone has a more or less dominant element in their astrological charts. You can see a nifty little table that shows where planets et al are concentrated usually at the bottom of that charts. F for Fire, Air for Air, E for Earth and W for Water.

Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Air Signs; Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Find the dominant element & realise that that simply is your childs temperament. eg; Fire kids need to compete, shine and show off. Water kids want to be left alone in reverie a lot and thrive on music/art style pursuits. But they won’t have remotely the same desire that the Fire sign has to get in there and prove themselves via team work. Earth kids need & benefit from routine, regular eating & sleeping habits + they’re fussy about their stuff. Physical exercise grounds them but it’s not the O.T.T. variety Fire loves. Air children are amazingly easily bored & enjoy loads of mental stimulation, factoids, jokes & quizzes.

These are all obviously generalisations but it’s also fascinating how true they are and how they help peeps understand one another. A Water child WOULD enjoy meditation but it would be fairly fruitless to impose it on an Air child. Fire kids relish a challenge & can put up with the most relentless ‘motivation’ of a batso sporting parent. Air kids will be thrilled at irregular hours and spontaneity but it would make an Earth child morose.

Something to think about?

Do you inwardly seethe & scheme vile revenge even as you project glacial cool???  Emote re your feelings as if in an encounter group? Throw vases? Guilt the person??? Cry in the bathroom at parties?  Text your therapist?  Seduce someone? Or do you believe in the pre-emptive revenge fuq?

Air Signs tend to immediately launch a retaliatory attack with a technicolor display of vibrant flirting & wit.

Fire Signs make scenes or stalk out the second they sense the attention deficit.

Water signs seethe & do the “nothing is wrong” trip but when their revenge comes, it is poignant and possibly out of all proportion to the initial offence.

Unless there is actual evidence of any of what pornography commissioners call the EEE rule (Three Es – Erection, Entry, Ejaculation) the Earth Signs tend to ignore flirting etc as they are so stupendously secure, worldly and perhaps not so stricken with vivid imagination as some.

Actually, this is more about the Elements; Fire, Air, Earth & Water.

My theory is that the Fire Signs charge in shrieking shitloads of darlings and/or doing hale & hearty guffaws, slapping peeps on the back. Then after a bit of bragging, they’ll insist on dancing and have no probs tearing up rugs or furniture if it gets in the way of their moves.

Earth Signs care more for the food, drink & music component of a gathering and if peeps aren’t getting enough to eat, an Earth Sign will front the host/hostess about it. Ditto if they think the plants need watering or there is an issue with the catering. They also like to check out the decor.

Air Signs like to put on a dazzling display of their Power of Glib, do some info-brokering, network, tell jokes and gossip. If there is nobody interesting enough for them to talk to, they’ll sulk and it doesn’t matter how lavish the surroundings or fab the food etc.

Water Signs are all about the emo & pulling. Shortly after arrival they will be holed up in the corner hearing someone’s completely lurid confession, nodding tearily at the details and/or holed up in the bedroom getting to know their latest conquest.

This is totally off the top of my head. Fair cop or utterly inaccurate raving astro-cliches?

Thank heavens the Mars-Pluto Square passed or even THIS most trivial of subjects would have become heated…

There is an old astro-cliche (well, I read it once) that Fire & Air signs prefer Dogs whilst the Earth & Water signs are more Cat People. Leaving aside the obvious goes one could have at both creatures/their owners, are you a Cat, Dog or neither-of-the-above person. Or are you thinking that the G.F.C/Pluto in Cap might take out the pet economy to some degree? And which sign is most likely to get inappropriately drippy/obsessive over their animal?

Personally, I have a fantasy border collie or wolf in grandiose moments but i.r.l. Moon-in-Libra does non hang around picking up dog shit & Mars in Virgo does not leave it on the street EVER. So, cats & some fairly individuated looking goldfish in a pond for the Feng Shui. If Yeats is correct the cat is the visible soul of the household, then we are so bats.  I find it weird when these apparently kindly people are shown on tv or whatevs, crooning at their beloved budgie but they have it in a CAGE.

So, you?

I love how it looks in fash pix but can’t wear red lipstick myself, lest I look like a drag queen. Plus i love lipgloss. BUT I have a theory that the devotees of proper, old-style red lipstick are Fire and Earth sign women. They want the substance & hit of red lipstick in a grown-up/retro style tube thingie. Whereas Air and Water sign women prefer nude lips/gloss. And i will include trans-gendered entities or anyone who puts even anything on their lips here just so as not to get a complaint from someone re political correctness…My point; Am I right about the Fire/Earth signs liking bright red, proper lipstick. Especially those ones who say they won’t leave the house without it bung on etc.

The Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are traditionally supposed to be the most psychic. Cancerians are the natural born psychometrics of the bunch & are able to pick up on vulnerability v.easily,  Scorps have an uncanny ability to zoom in sex, money, drugs & crime issues and Pisceans are just generally spooky in random and ever-fluctuating ways. Or is this just crap?

I know when i had Neptune crossing my Aqua rising, i had loads of visions, lucid dreams & the most fantastic shamanic style experiences. Uranus is always a strong point in the charts of people who feel an affinity with astrology and Pluto is prominent in the charts of people who are drawn to intense psych explorations.

Soooo Sun Sign + any major astro indicator if you know it: what was the most psychic and/or ghostly etc supernatural experience you’ve had? I may put mine in the comments stream, even though it’s utterly bonkers.  Which sign is the most supernatural of all? Whom is the Supernaturalist…? Astro-Fiends may argue planets or even transits but please let’s not do progressed Arabic parts of hauntings et al.

This ought to be one of the most cuckoo Retro-Mercury phases of all. Aquarius being already bats. An Eclipse in Aquarius looming etc. Yet hopefully more weird in a good way. I think that the Retro-Mercury in Water signs are always so achingly nostalgic and the Earth sign ones tend to correspond with the most irritating irks. This is more like mixed-messaging & strange synchronicity + the oddest random exchanges/peeps popping back into one’s life.

And – the first Mercurial Bats; Aquarius news story!

“POP star turned UFO hunter Robbie Williams has recruited Aussie Peter Andre to help him track down alien beings.”

I saw a U.F.O. when I was 5. Robbie Williams is Aquarius, Peter Andre is Pisces.
