Is Your Family Drama Straight Out of a Sitcom? Meet the Hero, Scapegoat, Lost Child… and That Sneaky Caregiver No One Sees Coming!

Added on May 3, 2025 inASTROLOGY CARDS

Family roles and zodiac signs – ever wondered if they shake hands or just awkwardly nod across the room? Take Aries, famously the so-called family hero, bursting in with fiery bravado. But what if that Aries is the baby of the bunch, overshadowed by a squad of formidable siblings who rewrite the script? That’s exactly the curious chaos in my own Mercury-ruled, Aquarius-parented clan, where the usual astrological cast of characters kept switching roles like a reality show with no script. Lost child one day, hero the next, scapegoat by twenty-something – yeah, it’s as messy as it sounds. And don’t even get me started on Pisces and the 12th house “lost child” theory, when my Pisces sister could out-talk a senator and flip between scapegoat and hero on a dime. So, how much do astrology and family dynamics really mix? And can stars really predict who’s picking up the slack or stirring the pot in your family’s zoo? Dive in, because this ain’t your classic zodiac chart — it’s a rollercoaster. LEARN MORE

aries zodiacI wonder how astrology mashes with the defined family roles, psychologically speaking. This is hard for me to see, because my Aquarian-parented family broke rules. The kids were generally Mutable, so it was not straightforward and our positions changed over time.

I was the lost child in my family, when I was young. I was also the caregiver.  I became the hero, in my teens… until I became the scapegoat in early twenties. I’ve held that position since,

I believe Pisces and 12th house is associated with being a lost child, but my Pisces sister was the scapegoat, when we were growing up.  She was also the hero, are various points.

Oddly,  I think several of us served as mascots, at different times. My brother was the only boy, to represent the family. I was the one who could read the newspaper when I was five and couldn’t get a “B’ in school, to save my life. One of my sisters was an accomplished athlete and very popular.

My oldest sister’s role is unclear to me. She doesn’t fit well in any of there roles. She was double Sagittarius, who oversaw the family, so to speak. She always knew what was going on, both on the surface and deeper down.  Hero, I guess, though I don’t remember her standing up for anyone, or setting an example, anyone cared to follow.

I know these roles are clearer cut in some family…and can persist throughout life.  It’s like the die is cast, once. If you don’t like your situation, too bad! I can think of advantages and disadvantages to both scenarios.

Aries would be the hero, in most families, but in mine, my Aries brother was the youngest.  All of sisters were formidable. There was no way he could take that slot.
Again, Pisces would be he lost child, but not when you have a mouth like my sister!

How does your family shake out as far as family roles go?  What was your role?  Has it persisted or changed over the years?
