You Can't Pick Your Family
As the old saying goes, we can pick our partners and friends, but we can’t pick our family. We are given that and not based on any obvious compatibility or lack thereof. As some say, “we are stuck with our family, for better or for worse, just like a marriage.” Many marriages today are not even life long, but for most of us our family relationships indeed last our entire lives. They don’t go away and divorce is not an option. Blood is still thicker than water. And many of these family relationships are unexamined.
Our parents have just always been there, before we ever existed, and the same goes for our older brothers and sisters. We have never known a time when they were not with us. We don’t question these relationships and perhaps we have never even had the opportunity to consider what they really involve or are like. Hopefully, this report will help in this regard, for here astrology can offer us a second opinion on who our mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers actually are and how we fit in with them.
The approach here is a simple one. For you, your mother, and your father there will be a description of what you each are like as an individual and then how each of you relate to one another. The same came also be done with sisters, brothers, and coworkers.
The Mother's Natal StarType
Melinda's StarType is very rare and very gifted at that, having both very high-level management skills and built-in savvy and a profound practical sense. It does not get much more gifted than this. She is independent too. She does not need relationships to complete herself, which does not mean to suggest that she does not have and enjoy them; just that she does not depend on them as much as most people do.This is a very complete StarType, as mentioned, having extreme mental and care giving faculties (great compassion), plus the warmth, people skills, and practical sense of how to get things done. Working together, these qualities are unbeatable -- the whole enchilada, the most comprehensive vision, brought to bear in the most seminal way in the practical world. Very rare and very auspicious.
As for relationships, Melinda may enjoy them, but she probably does not depend on them. Others may find her more to-herself than they might like - a breed apart. She can take on different roles in a relationship, depending on the StarType of the partner, but it may be hard to fit into a normal relationship.
Pretty much self-sufficient. Melinda has it all, and of course has much to offer others, partners or otherwise, but don't expect a lot in return.
