Topic Theories


I just had a random train of thought, and was curious what other people thought, since I've never heard anyone else talk about it. I don't know why, it seems obvious enuf. It's pretty clear to everybody that you inherit a lot of your patterns and issues from your parents. Parents are always trying to instill their values in their kids with varying levels of success. Most people also acknowledge that your astrological sign affects your personality and how you think to some degree. But what effect do parents astrological signs have on their kids?
My usual method of categorizing people is by astrological sign and DSM-IV diagnosis. (The DSM is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - It's the Shrink's Bible). I've found it's a pretty good way of getting an idea of what someone's about. As good a way as anything else. You gotta admit it beats skin color and clothing. But I'm wondering if I'm missing something. (Well, I know I'm missing lots - but something related to my delusional Astroshrink theories).

My father is an Aries, and mother is a Libra, and I do notice I have a lot of Aries (boy) qualities, and I'm chill like a libra when I should be all obnoxiously loud since I'm a Leo. I have no Aries or Libra in my chart. I don't know why I never thought of this.

I'd prefer to keep Freud out of my theory since I really like Aries girls and most of my best female friends are Libras but I'm never attracted to them. (shuttup)

I guess this also begs the question of what effect the parent's DSM diagnosis on the kids but I'm more interested in the astrology part at the moment.

So what do you all think about what effects your parent's signs had on you - and if you're a parent, what effect your sign is having on your kids?

(For the record, ADHD Aquarius's make excellent fuckbuddies)
