Libra - Aries

Scorpio - Taurus

Virgo - Pisces

Cancer - Capricorn

Leo - Aquarius

Sagittarius - Gemini



I'll give you an example, a real life one,

For example, My Capricorn mother in law, and also my Capricorn moon mother has problems with men who are "weaker" or who are passive type of men. I understand where they are coming from because I have capricorn personal planets and i admire and love, respect Power. But I am a 4th house dominant, so i love family and closeness and desire all that. I am nurturing and loving to my husband, and he even tells me i'm the sweetest loving woman. He no lie either that's why he's with me cause why would he want to be with a nagging harbinger? lol!! 😆

anyway, aside from that lols, My Capricorn mother in law starts getting upset and angry over her sister in law that have cancer energy,because they are stay at home mothers,nurturing and loving and they seem to find really good men who take care of them -- house and home and family and financially. She not only gets upset about her sister in laws but also her niece, and then ultimately me, because her brothers chose Cancerian energy type of women and her niece chose a man (Scorpio man too by the way) who takes good care of her and loves her to death.

She finds this repulsive, so it occured to me, why is she so hard on these women and ultimately me? Who i think she tries hard not to be hard on because she loves her son and his choices. But with her sister in laws and her nieces, she is hard on them, One time she had a family member yell at her because she was so hard on the niece who married well and is spoiled.

I think personally it has to do with being repulsed by the lack of indepdendence these women have. And that repulsivenes is in her, which she feels she is undeserving of.

why does she feel UNDESERVING?? is it a Saturn thing? that you cannot accept other's happiness? and one must be suffering all the time?

what is the lesson here? for the Capricorn/Cancer axis?

As a Leo I feel aqua can teach to be more open and stop keeping everything to myself all the time. There are more people then just myself in life, and sometimes the things that are beneficial to everyone will in turn be more beneficial to myself in the long run. Basically If everyone is equally happy I will be just as happy as everyone else, rather then just focusing on myself which likely will make everyone else unhappy. Thus making me unhappy in the long run.

I love capricorns. My best peeps are caps
they are super awesome really

but all signs have a darker side and we all have to see what the deal is...

and to understand it, deeply.



capricorn mothers are one of the best IMO. they usually make great moms.

they teach their children some independence (especially if they have aquarius venus)

and some compassion, (especially if they have pisces venus and pisces moon)



for some reason, the Capricorn and Cancer axis makes great mommas.



I think when they have Virgo, in combination with Aquarius, they are soooo picky with partners and can be really judgy with the way other people should live, when it concerns their loved ones. They are cool with other people's families, if that's how they want them to live. lol

then you open their eyes, and have to make them accept how life is, that everyone is different.

My Taurus teaches me patience and to stop and enjoy the little things in life.

I teach him to go faster and not be slow bloody slow and plodding with everything... not that he goes faster!!
that's really sweet but pushing a taurus? wow...

that's really hard.



i am dominant taurus by pullen standards and by astrotheme standards, and my husband says that i am very very slow and would rather stay home than go out. I really am a homebody.

i'm so happy that he is a homebody too. Or else there would be problems.

it's our other family members and even mother in law that tries to push out to go out more (she's so adventurous)



and it's only when we're shopping, that my husband will just walk into the store and get what he wants. he will never want to go shopping with me. lol

Only my gay family members i can go super shopping with. I am slow there too.

My Aries teaches me to be more goal orientated, true commitment, self discipline, courage, belief in what I can achieve, communication. I can easily say my life has bettered because of what he/being with him has taught me. I'd say I teach him that its ok to say no, that its ok to loosen up now and then and not feel guilty about it.

We are teaching each other that its ok to trust again.

I don't know, still waiting for an Aries who can teach me something
Are you a Libra sun?



maybe an Aries moon can help you.

I have seen quite a few Aries moon people out there really loving Libra suns.



even Aries rising according to Alyssa Sharpe. She is a Libra sun who is married to an Aries rising.

that aries rising man is teaching her something i bet.

My Taurus ex has taught me the simplicity and serenity to life.

Something about him has pushed me through the obstacles in my life that held me back (& he doesn't even know it), for this I am grateful.

He's taught me that my passion and intensity is not too much.

Lastly, he is my polar opposite so although it was hard to see how oppositely we handled some things, different perspectives are appreciated.

However, we are both stubborn as hell. lol.

aquas might be able to take things more lightly and detach. we can get too attached and aquas are better at taking things lightly and go with the flow
leo rising men are always attracted to me, i notice.

and my family members who have aqua rising always date Leo suns.

so it's a bit weird how it is like that.



edit

my hubs is dominant leo though.

he is highly attracted to aquarius sun.
