This is largely inspired by Solarflare's thread, "Mother-Child Relationships". Me having a better relationship with my father than my mother, I just have to make this one. What do you think helps determine a father's relationship with his child? I like the idea of the Sun (because the sun represents the father, I think). He's a Pisces (Sagittarius moon) and I'm a Taurus (Gemini moon). We love to debate (for fun or seriously), but we also love to sit outside and watch the clouds/planes/sunset together. So what do you think about the father-child relationship and how to help determine it?

I'm never sure about this, maybe Saturn? Seems a bit 'heavy' though.
I do like the idea of the Sun. In my case there's something fun going on, my mom is a Libra and my dad is an Aquarius, and I'm a 2nd decan Libra, meaning I'm also ruled by Uranus (or Saturn? depends, some seem to use traditional rulers for decans)

My dad is a cancer sun, meaning he is even more motherly than my mother is, he has four planets in cancer actually and they are all personal planets. The kinda father that makes up the most imaginative bedtime stories, loves to hug, tries to cheer you up when you're down, is not afraid to cry, and worries so much about his kids that he can't sleep.
Besides that we also share the same interests in tv shows and humour, and he's quite the comedian. Down sides are: he can have a mean temper, takes his bad mood out on my mother, worries too much and needs constant confirmation that we're okay (we need to text if we got home safe).

Traditionally, Saturn has been associated with the father figure the same way the Moon is associated with the mother.

My father and I have always been pretty close - we both share Sun and Saturn in Pisces in the 9th house, both squared to Jupiter, and we both share Venus in Capricorn in the 6th house as well as Midheaven in Aries.
We definitely have a lot of similarities: personality wise, we're both quite sensitive (never used to think he was until I said a few things to hurt his feelings - whoops...), headstrong, stubborn, possess presence, very practical with and towards love - the list goes on a little bit. We both have interests in music, games, sport (we're both field hockey players - uncanny!), history and much more - we both love learning and we both like to spend plenty of quality time together by talking and doing stuff together.
So we get on well...until we butt heads/argue with each other, which is when you see the most fireworks - even more so than when I argue with my mother!!! I think our major sticking points is to do with authority: because of my Mars and my Ascendant being in Leo, I've always been very head strong and wanted to be a 'leader' or a head figure within the homes that I've lived in - but because my father's just as stubborn as I am and a very authoritative sort himself, that's where he has had to have a few harsh words with me.
But then having said that, he's otherwise very calm - his main planetary placements in Pisces, which includes his Mercury and Mars along with his Sun and Saturn, Neptune in Scorpio and his Ascendant in Cancer.
It's interesting that children can share similar planet positions/planetary actions with one parent or possibly even both.

i feel like a child's sun (and its aspects) can point to what kind of relationship he/she will have with the father. just like the moon sign and its aspects can signal the mother-child relationship. a person's sun can show how he/she sees the father, it shows what kind of father he was to the child. for example, many pisces suns i know in real life had alcoholic dads or dads who abandoned the family. or dads who died before old age.
because of this, i think this is why siblings who have different sun signs have different types of relationships with the father they share. i am an aries sun, and my sister is a taurus sun, so obviously we see our dad in different ways. she has a closer relationship with him because they share the same sun sign and that gives them a lot more understanding than me or my other sister (leo sun) will have with him. fun fact, me and my other sister (both fire signs) had the worst relationships with our dad. my taurus sun sister (who shares the same sign as my dad) was always the one he liked best lol.

I hate my father, due to personal reasons. I don't think it's really astrological, but I'll try to see it in that perspective I'm a Leo sun, Taurus moon. Assuming is birthday is correct, then my father is a Capricorn sun and I don't know the rest of his planets. He seems scared of me but he's a total douchebag to my mom, and thinks he's the top notch and stuff. I don't know, he possesses all the negative (and no positive) qualities of Capricorn to me... Maybe it's the sun... Leo and Cap typically don't go hand to hand. But then again, no one gets along with him, not even my Cancer sun brother.
