When I was unemployed for four months my parents wanted to help pay my rent but I refused and said I would figure it out myself.
That's very brave! How did it work out in the end?

I grew up middle class - definitely no privilege at all, although my parents gave me as much as they could. I do feel that I was treated differently than my younger sister though. I was told that any season I was not playing a sport or during summer that I needed to work, but I cannot say the same for my sister who has Mars in the 10th whole sign also (in Scorpio). She definitely mooches off my parents and I find it infuriating. Granted she is nearly 10 years younger than me but I worked two jobs while attending college and never asked my parents to pay for my shopping or going out on a Friday or Saturday night.
Perhaps you are right though, I find it very difficult to accept money from someone else. When I was unemployed for four months my parents wanted to help pay my rent but I refused and said I would figure it out myself.
Haha thanks. Ummm kind of terrifying. I cried a lot and felt like a loser. I ended up depleting a large chunk of my savings account but overall everything ended up ok!
Told you!!! It's really a sharp/drastic sink or swim...! I think it's hilarious that your younger sister is Scorpio Mars and is an expert moocher but at the same time, I don't know her chart (I don't know your chart other than the basics of what you previously described) and she's got a totally different chart than you and all the planets gotta be really different for her to get set up as a "moocher." But overall, Taurus-Scorpio are the $$$ signs of the zodiac and can be really scammy (like money laundering for Taurus and fraud for Scorpio when in Mars).
I always think it's extremely funny and silly when I hear people say they want to change their chart where it concerns their parents. The natal chart shows what kind of relationship you have with your parents, so in order to change that part of your chart, you'd really gotta change parts of your parents' natal charts too, and that's NOT possible on both accounts.
My dad's Libra Mars in the 6th house- the house of Mars' joy. When he was 17, he was on his "own" because his Cap father "released" him into the wild of Los Angeles in the 70s. My dad did fairly well for himself going to school and working and even supported his younger Aries brother and occasionally helped out his younger Libra sister. My dad did college and worked full time, paid for his housing and everything. I believe my Cap grandfather paid for my dad's education but everything else my dad had to come up on his own. My grandfather never pushed any of his other children...just my dad. Even now at 60, my dad's bored and depressed in life if he has no work to keep himself occupied but he's an extremely reliable person (character-wise). I didn't inherit his necessity to work as I was born a lounger but between my chart and my father's chart, it shows that no matter what, he has a soft spot for me and doesn't want to see me suffer hardships (like his Jupiter conjunct my Venus). My father doesn't have a "blindness" for me, as in he doesn't ignore my shortcomings, he would rather not talk about them as a general whole By all accounts, it would seem extremely odd that a very Scorpio parent would be doting, esp. on a Gemini child, but our charts match up to give that sort of result. Even my former father-in-law is Scorpio with Cap Mars use to dote on me, more than he did on his own son (my ex) and nearly as much as his own daughter (my ex's older sister).
There's some other things to look for when comparing synastry between the charts of parents and child. I suspect your sister has the "right" kind of synastry for your parents to allow her to mooch of off them but you have synastry with your parents that is different. Also, your parents could have had your sister at a time when they came into greater money so in a sense, your sister was born in the most "opportune" time. Another thing is kids born during the parents' Saturn's return mean a lot to that parent. Don't be surprised if you investigate parent and child pairings who share the same Saturn signs and the parent totally loves that child more than their other children. My father was gipped of Libra Saturn because he was born 2 weeks too late to come in at 29º Libra Saturn but he talked my mother into having me and I was born with 3º Libra Saturn...early. I mean more to my dad than my younger brother who was born during my mother's Saturn return. They both have Sagittarius Saturn, and my mother has always favored my brother. She thinks I'm mean and evil (in loose terms)
The late Nelson Mandela had mars in libra... the latter part of his life [he] spent forging relationships across the world in peace and harmony but he spent a long time in prison. There does not seem to be accurate chart for him.
Well, until mastered martian energy encounters resistance (force creates counterforce). Mandela spoke at length about how he transcended feelings of anger, hatred, and betrayal towards the perpetrators of his imprisonment and eventually, his life's passion became educating the world about the path of peace and reconciliation. This, to me, resonates with a mars in libra narrative.
I've been experiencing a similar passive/aggressive notion. I feeling like I need to set an example to other to forgive and forget and not to let anger, frustration, hatred etc. get to me.
I've been noticing this a bit at work. On a team call yesterday one of the Directors got nasty with the other and it was interesting to see the one who is technically lower on the totem pole diplomatically put the other in his place. No one likes the Director and we all think he is a useless a-hole. He has been getting very passive aggressive with the guy that reports to him because he is proving that he is the better leader.
Interesting...Mars (r) is really showing it's true colours in Libra. I find the term "the tables/tides have turned" most appropriate to use to describe what people are experiencing. We seem to be "paying people back" and showing them that other side. Can't wait to see the reaction of people once Mars goes direct again.
