Family Astrology

Okay, like I need something else to keep me busy?!? Hello....there is this thing called work?!? The place that keeps the cash flow flowing...ahhh, there is always tomorrow. Right?

So, seeing as my innocent little girl (Ha! I am not kidding anyone with that, am I?) is reaching that testing, testing, testing-almost 2 years old phase, I had a thought about checking our astrological compatibility!

(This also holds true between myself and my mommy!) Check it out....not bad!

When a Leo child is born to a Capricorn parent, they form a mutually supportive union. Capricorn is conservative, hard working, and traditional in outlook and design. Leo sees the value of hard work but prefers to get things done by charm and schmoozing.
These two relatives don't always see eye to eye. Capricorn may see their child as underachieving, while Leo may think that their parent could have some fun every once in a while. They are both strongly loyal, devoted to, and supportive of each other. Though they may appear different on the surface, they realize how similar they truly are at the heart of things. Both have a fondness for luxury and don't mind working toward their goals.
Leo and Capricorn both enjoy status and possessions. Leo tends to be flamboyant, and Capricorn is of a more classical ilk. Because both Signs are so determined, they will understand each other with a bit of careful attention. They will soon realize that they have a lot to teach one another. The Leo child can show their Capricorn parent how to have a fun time, and Capricorn can instill the value of hard work in their Leo child.
The best aspect of the Leo-Capricorn family relationship is their devotion to taking care of business and settling important family matters. Both Signs have strong personalities. Although they may seem to have little in common as people, as family, they are very tight. Though opposites, they respect the other's approach to life and living.

(This also holds true between Richard and my momma, his mother-in-law - except vice versa!)

When a Leo child is born to a Virgo parent, a surface glance would make one think that they have no common interests and nothing to learn from each other. Leo is outgoing, dominant, charismatic, and often a little short-tempered. Virgo is studious and quiet, possessed of more reserved nature than Leo.
Although these two family members seem completely different, they form a wonderful bond once each person learns to accept the other's unfamiliar style. Virgo appreciates their child's creative flair, and Leo is amazed at how much their parent can accomplish in a day.
Planning events comes easily to this family team. Leo may feel that their parent is too critical, while Virgo may find that their child can be selfish. The Leo child can add fun and excitement to their parent's otherwise, calculated life. At the same time, Virgo teaches Leo patience, determination, and stability.
The best aspect of the Leo-Virgo family relationship is their effectiveness at sharing tasks and helping one another out when they need it. Leo gets attention and respect by being out in the field and socializing, following through on new ideas motivated by fun and interest. Virgo works hard behind the scenes and follows up on details that Leo has lost interest in. Their different personalities, opposite in so many ways, make theirs a highly complementary family relationship.

And last, but certainly not least - is for me, the Happy Cappy, and Richard, the Critical Virgo! Let's see what has made our love for one another last thorughout the years! Lord knows we butt heads all the time, so I am curious to see how we fair - via astrology! Take it for what it is worth...

Virgo and Capricorn are both Earth Signs. In addition to order and succinctness, Virgo-Capricorn partners usually surround themselves with tasteful and discriminating possessions.

Capricorn will start new projects that Virgo will enjoy taking over later. This relationship will work out if Capricorn can initiate ideas and Virgo can continue them.
