Pisces Woman With Troublesome Mother: Astrology-Based Advice

Dear Elsa,

I have always had a rocky relationship with my mom and now as an adult, I’m ready to just keep her out of my life. Every since I can remember, she’s either overtly depended on me or she’s put me down. She’ll pit my two siblings and I against each other, saying how one or two is doing so and so and what’s wrong with you. She was in an abusive relationship with my father, telling me 80 percent of the things he did but when I commented that I wouldn’t put my children through that, she flipped out on me. I don’t know if its because she’s an Aquarius or because I’m a Pisces but it feels like she always knows just the thing to say to make me feel like nothing.

Now I’m involved in a relationship with a Scorpio male I love and she throws him in my face, like she’s upset that I’m with him. I don’t have kids of my own yet and I know I don’t want them in that type of environment. I love and respect her but I’m at my wit’s end. What should I do?

There is such a thing as a woman who just can’t stand to see another woman happy, especially with a man - and your mother sounds as if she fits the prototype. You can read about cock-blocking here, and get some idea of what you are dealing with. She’s not happy with a man so you are going to be happy with a man over her dead body.

Now the point of this is to become educated so you can take the next step which is to detach. Perhaps detach all together if you can manage, but I am not sure you can manage with your Moon in Cancer in hard aspect to Jupiter and Saturn. With aspects like that, you may find yourself stuck and in complete candor, I think in order to survive this you are going to have to tap your whole being - which is not the worst news in the world considering that people not called to do so have talent that goes to waste. In whatever case here’s your map:

You have a stellium in Pisces which gives the innate ability to transcend but when you do this, I want you to have a solid base (Saturn) and belief and philosophy (Jupiter) beneath your action. If you have this all together you will be acting as a whole which sounds like this:

“I know my mother is an unhappy woman and I forgive her for that, however I am going to erect whatever boundary is necessary so that I can transcend her and offer my children a more secure and evolved environment… which is my responsibility in this life.”

Good luck.

It took almost three years of therapy for me (also Pisces) to get where Elsa is sending you now. Listen to what she’s saying.

We know what our mothers are like. We know exactly what they’re going to say (mine doesn’t take any of my personal passions, like writing, seriously. Apparently, until I’m on the top ten sellers list, the concept that I’ve been published at all is trivial. GAH!!), how they’re going to push our buttons, but the power is ours to keep that outside ourselves. Because that’s what they want, to get under our skin, to make us as miserable as they are.

Elsa’s giving you great advice. I wish you luck.

young woman- your description of your mom makes me wonder if she has any psych issues (borderline personality disorder came to mind). while that doesn’t exactly change your plans, it can be helpful sometimes to bear in mind that it’s really, absolutely NOT about you.

do what you need to in order to protect yourself from the energy you don’t want in your life, and get whatever support you need for it, either from friends, other family, online or professional.

good luck.

I’ve been thinking of sending you a question very similar to this, Elsa as I have a problem very close to this. I even have the Pisces stellium like the submitter and Jupiter sq. Saturn. My mom is a Sadge sun, rising and moon, is an alcoholic with rage issues and she has the ability to totally decimate all good feelings I have towards myself with one word, one look, even her presence. I don’t feel I’m strong enough to “defeat” her. Nor am I at the point in my life to be able remove her completely. Maybe someday. Your advice requires a kind of detachment that I just don’t have.

Am in a somewhat similar situation here! I think it’s good advice. My mother has judged my partners as either losers or too good for me. I’ve ceased to introduce them to each other a long time ago. My current SO totally understands. Even without my partner in the equation, I do not have good enough boundaries for my mother’s belittling etc. to simply blow through or away. And there are complicated other issues in the mix. It boils down to reality vs. ideals of a healthy family relationships…
