I thought it would be fun to analyze your future spouse's parents, aka your in-laws to see what they are like and how they affected your future spouse growing up and subsequently into adulthood. I'll add this to both my groom (5129) & briede (19029) persona chart series. Note that this is not how they act towards you, as that can be seen through the 9th house of your natal chart imo. This is how your future spouse sees them and how they were to your FS growing up. For this method it only applies to your Groom or Briede persona chart.

🪷Pisces (°12,°24) | 12th House
Their mother was likely a woman your FS spent years trying to fully understand. She may have been deeply compassionate, creative, spiritual, artistic, or emotionally sensitive, but there was often an air of mystery surrounding her. Even family members may have felt there were parts of her inner world she never completely shared. She may have been the type of person who carried everyone's burdens on her shoulders. Friends, relatives, struggling family members, or people in need may have frequently turned to her for support. At times, your FS may have witnessed her sacrificing her own happiness, energy, or well-being for others. She may have had a tendency to see the good in people even when they did not deserve it. For some, this can indicate a mother who seemed emotionally distant not because she lacked love, but because she was battling private struggles, grief, disappointment, exhaustion, or circumstances your FS didn't fully understand as a child. There may have been periods where she felt unavailable, overwhelmed, absent, or difficult to reach emotionally. One of three things is possible, either she was neglectful, incredibly spiritual, overly altruistic (meaning she was emphatic or a good mother, just not.. to your FS in terms of presence & involvement).

☕ Conjunctions applied to their relation to the parent house (10th & 4th) and planets Sun (father) and Moon (mother) only.
Your in-law was likely one of the most influential people in your FS's life. Their approval mattered a lot growing up, and your spouse may have spent years trying to make them proud. This parent encouraged confidence, ambition, and achievement, but may have also placed pressure on your FS to live up to their expectations. Worst case scenario, they were overly dominant and expected your FS to become who they wanted rather than who they truly were.
Your future spouse was likely emotionally attached to this parent and highly affected by their moods, behaviors, and emotional state. This parent may have been nurturing, protective, and deeply involved in their day-to-day life. They taught your FS how to process emotions, express affection, and seek comfort during difficult times. Much of how they treat mirrors their parent. The relationship may have felt very instinctive, with your FS naturally turning to them for reassurance. Even as an adult, this parent's influence may still shape how your FS approaches love, family, and emotional security. They were emotional and unpredictable at times.

Your in-law was likely a strong-willed, protective, and sometimes intimidating parent. They pushed your FS to stand up for themselves, be resilient, and fight for what they want. There may have been frequent clashes, especially if your spouse was equally stubborn. Worst case scenario, this parent had anger issues, was overly controlling, or could be physically aggressive.
This in law is both smart and inquisitive. They were always busy with one thing or another, and thought your spouse how to be curious. Encouraging your spouse to learn and focus on a certain skill or education in general. This parent was likely talkative too, with that being a highlight in their childhood home.
Your future spouse was likely very close to this parent, seeing them as kind and ideal. They may be very close to this parent as well. A lot of their ideals came from this parent. Your in law is likely beautiful, or has a good sense of taste with whatever they do. From communication to their relationships and home interior this parent taught your FS the importance of beauty and indulgence.
This parent was loud, proud, kind and funny. Your FS most likely had a very strong relationship to this parent, viewing them as both a mentor and a friend. This was the parent that allowed your spouse to express themselves exactly as they are. Though they were keen to teach your spouse, they were thoughtful, humourous and indulgent with them. The only bad thing that could come from this is if your spouse felt rather cramped by the amount of space their parent enforced into their lives. Could have found this parent's antics too much at times but not always. Usually means, they are best friends with this parent. This parent left the biggest impression on your spouse.
Your in law was a strict parent, likely very harsh and traditional. Expected a lot from your spouse and may have exacted very… “traditional “ ideas onto them about life and how they should live it. This parent may have been significantly older in the family as well ( could be the oldest amongst their siblings) and thus acted that way towards your spouse. Tough love all the way. Worst case scenario, they might’ve been physically abusive of your FS especially as a child.
This parent may have been absent for a lot of your future spouse’s life, even if they have lived in the same roof it may feel like they did not have the closest relationship. For that reason, your spouse themselves has a lack of understanding and connection to them. Could have been quite the sentimental or religious parent as well. It’s likely this parent left a bit of a void in your spouse’s mind that either developed into hyper sensitivity or dissociative tendencies.
This parent was likely a funky one. Someone very independent and intelligent (though, creative seems to be more the case usually) and thought your spouse to be a little wild and carefree. This was the fun parent, but also the weird one. They might have pushed your FS to be a smart thinker, and to be more confident in their own creativity. A lot of their quirks could have came from this parent.
This parent was controlling, harsh and aggressive. They owned the house, and taught your spouse to thread carefully even at home. This parent kept your spouse in edge, and had to be resilient enough to face them on a daily basis. Your FS can see this parent as cruel and omnipresent. They thought your spouse to be absolute and even obsessive with their identity or feelings, being the child that likely rebelled against this parent the most they may have a bit of a complicated relationship.
Your parent in law might have been rather harsh with your future spouse, being a “shadow” of this parent that always seems to expect more from your FS. On one hand, they may feel connected to this parent as they share the same trigger or have learned to be cautious of what this parent attached themselves too. Not wanting to become their parent. This parent was also likely the sentimental and insecure one. This likely left a permanent impression on your future spouse around their own sense of belonging, safety and adequacy.
