Indicators of Daddy Issues in a Natal Chart

these are only a few notable placements but there are many more I haven't listed yet.

I must preface that these are just observations and that you might have these placements, and have a lovely relationship with your father. These are just repetitive placements I see in the charts of those who have daddy issues. Astrology isn’t a one size fits all kind of situation. Enjoy!

Sun Square / Opposite Saturn

There’s emotional distance, or coldness between you and your father. You could have been afraid to disappoint him, so you became hypervigilent or hyperindependent. This could manifest in different ways: your father could’ve been there physically, but emotionally checked out / unavailble, cold, or stoic.

You could’ve felt like you had to be performative around your father because he only praised you or showed you attention when you did something “worth praising”, which could have created a self-worth wound.

Your dad could’ve been overbearing or just totally ignore your boundaries. This could’ve led to you always feeling on guard, watched, invaded, or judged even when you’re alone.

Roles could've totally been flipped, and he acted more like the child, rather than the parent in your upbringing.

This is the placement that attracts partners who are a lot like their fathers, or are older, colder, more rigid, etc.

Sun Square Pluto / Sun Opposite Pluto

You could deal with a lot of power struggles involving your father. He was not just a lot to deal with, meaning his energy or presence could’ve been all consuming and larger than life — he was also just really difficult to please.

Your father could be the reason you struggle with respecting and/or fearing male authority. Sadly, I see this placement in a lot of charts of people whose fathers are real POS’. I mean there’s no other way to put it: these dads suck and do not respect their kids.

Your dad could be a very dominant person, and therefore loud, or just very controlling. In your upbringing he could’ve been controlling over your identity, your beliefs, emotions, heck even your sexuality. Being independent, opinionated, or outspoken led to consequences.

With this placement, you could’ve grown up just knowing your did didn’t like you, you weren't safe with him, or you couldn't trust him and as a result, you have a hard time trusting men in general.

Here’s where things get weird: you attract men and/or partners who mirror your father’s patterns of addiction, negative attitudes, volatility, or similar aggressive behaviors.

Sun Square/Opposite Neptune

Your dad was absent, and if he wasn’t absent he was either living a double life, very deceptive, or emotionally detached from you.

His feelings for you could’ve been confusing for you to understand, so it’s possible you idealized his real intentions for you to feel better, to feel like you have a loving dad (omg I am so sorry :( )

This leads me to my next point, you could’ve daydreamed about having a dad that meets your emotional, or physical needs, and loves you the way you love him.

He sold you on broken promises and illusions. He was the kind of father who showed up once in a blue moon. For some, him just showing up for you was your present for your birthday, or Christmas.

Your father could’ve been an addict, or had drug abuse issues. He could’ve hid this from you for a long time, or he could've been in denial about how bad these problems were.

There could’ve been blurry lines when it came to boundaries with him, and emotional emeshment could’ve happened.

You could’ve honestly felt like you didn’t really know your father because of the different ways he lied to you. His secrets, his lies, his actions, his past — all of these things have negatively impacted you in some way, specifically how you trust others.

10Th House Ruler conjunct/square/opposite Saturn/Pluto

The things your father does has a direct impact on you somehow. His public roles, his reputation, and the things he has done in his past haunt you even if you had nothing to do with his choices.

You’ve could’ve been seen as your father’s kid and referred to as “(father’s name)’s kid” rather than your own name. You were kind of seen as an extension of him, and not your own person.

Your father is known for a good scandal, or shiesty move. Papa could've been a rolling stone, or a crook, and it is what it is. But the trouble is that it feels like YOU are paying for HIS mistakes in life. OR, he could treat you like all his poor decisions were your fault somehow.

He bestowed this serious feeling of doubt in you, and you carry a lot of burdens pertaining to success. You chase success more than the average person, and its because you compare yourself , your work ethic, and your actions to your father’s a lot.

Sun in 8th House

TW: trauma, physical/sexual ab*, CSA

I will quickly gloss over my TW points, but yeah. Trauma with this placement *can* manifest in childhood abuse or csa from your father, stepfather, or significant male figures in your life (If you missed my original disclaimer this is NOT true for all 8th house sun placements).

Your father’s presence was powerful, scary and dominating. It was probably scary to speak up to him because his emotional reactions were like disproportionate to the situation.

Your father project all of his failures and short comings onto you, leaving you with such a heavy burden.

You mistake aggression for love and emotional security.

Saturn Retrograde

When your Saturn is in retrograde natally, this shows an inconsistency in his parenting or him being there for you. You could feel like you never got the proper guidance from your father, or like he was always available for other people when they needed him but was never there for you.

This is also oddly specific but with this placement, your father could have either wanted to have only boys and you were born a girl so that cause friction, or they only wanted girls and you were born male. Same goes for different gender identities, it can feel like this father is not happy with who you are down to your gender.

Mars square / opposite Saturn

This is especially hard for masculine presenting people, but it could be hard for anyone because your father shakes up your concept of what a man is / supposed to be through his actions.

For masculine people, this manifests in blocked masculine energy or becoming unsure of how to express yourself. But usually this placement means you likely grew up around men and grew up in fear of men, so you had a hard time speaking around them, or just being around them in general.

Your father could have been over critical of everything you do, for instance you could be someone who is very flamboyant in nature and he can criticize you for being so animated. Or you can be passionate and expressive, and he can criticize you for being aggressive. He villainized your character to a point where you might not know who you really are because you invested so much of your energy believing in the things that your father may have projected on to you.

This placement to make you an overthinker to the point where you miss out on things because you don't want to ruin anything or you don't want to make mistakes. This is rooted in childhood trauma that should be addressed because you are blocking a lot of fun in your life out of fear that will not just go away.

You could have a hard time expressing your anger or being afraid of your anger because of how you were shamed for having emotions.

You could also attract angry partners, partners that mirror the energy your dad projected onto you, partners who shut you down, partners at gaslight you.

“Understand Why They Hate You: A Pluto Placement Guide”

☠️ Your power was never meant to be palatable. ☠️

Pluto in your chart is where your mere existence becomes a trigger. It’s where people project, resent, desire, and fear you without ever fully understanding why. It’s the frequency you emit that says “I can destroy you without lifting a finger.” But it also reveals why they hate you — why they’re obsessed, repulsed, haunted, or entranced.

🌑 Pluto-Sun: They hate that you don’t need approval to shine.

You carry authority in your bones. Even when you’re silent, your presence demands attention. People feel dominated by your willpower, even when you’re not trying. You’re a mirror for their weakness — and they’d rather break the mirror than face themselves.

“Who gave you permission to be this powerful?”

Well you did. And that terrifies them.

🌑 Pluto-Moon: They hate how deeply you see them.

Your emotional x-ray vision is uncomfortable. You notice micro-expressions, hidden wounds, manipulations. People feel exposed around you, like you can undress their soul and dissect it with a glance. You feel like a threat to their emotional control.

You don’t just understand feelings — you unearth them.

Most people aren’t ready for that kind of intimacy.

🌑 Pluto-Mercury: They hate that your words wound and awaken.

Your voice has bite. Your ideas challenge systems, your questions undress egos. You speak in riddles that echo. People are afraid of what you might say, what you know, or what you could expose. Your mind disarms, dissects, destroys.

They label you “too intense,” when really, you just speak in surgical precision.

🌑 Pluto-Venus: They hate that they want you so badly.

You seduce without trying. They project every kink, shame, obsession onto you. You’re the fantasy and the threat. Love isn’t safe with you — it’s transformative, dangerous, and devouring. They love you, but they’ll crucify you for making them feel that much.

They think you’re toxic — but really, you’re just real.

And that kind of love burns.

🌑 Pluto-Mars: They hate that you can dominate them sexually or energetically.

You walk into a room and the power shifts. You ignite primal reactions. People feel challenged, emasculated, or hypnotized. You don’t fight fair — you fight to transform. You’re not violent, but your energy is confrontational.

They want to possess you or destroy you. Either way, they’ll never forget you.

🌑 Pluto-Jupiter: They hate your unstoppable evolution.

Your growth threatens people. Your ability to rise from the ashes, to alchemize pain into power — it makes them feel small. You have an aura of destiny. People either want to follow you or sabotage you. You can’t be controlled, and that enrages the ones who try.

You don’t expand quietly. You expand like a supernova.

🌑 Pluto-Saturn: They hate your unshakeable power.

Your authority is intimidating. You seem incorruptible, forged through pain, patient with power. You own your darkness. People hate how composed you are, how little they can rattle you. They’ll test you, but they’ll lose.

You’re not intimidating. They’re just not used to someone who isn’t afraid of death.

🌑 Pluto-Uranus: They hate your ability to rebel without flinching.

You’re radical. You question everything. You don’t play nice with systems that oppress. People fear the change you represent. You’re the revolution wrapped in human skin. And they hate that you’re often right.

You weren’t born to fit in. You were born to dismantle the matrix.

🌑 Pluto-Neptune: They hate that you dissolve illusions they cling to.

You’re spiritually dangerous. You intuit people’s souls. You reflect their delusions back to them — and they call it “projection.” They might call you a manipulator, but in truth, they’re just afraid of their own unconscious.

You hold up the mirror of the collective psyche.

And not everyone likes what they see.

Pluto is where you’re feared, fetishized, scapegoated, worshipped, and never quite understood.

It’s not meant to be soft. It’s meant to be sacred.

Own it.

What do you think about a Gemini Saturn in 12th house and Saturn opposite Pluto? I hope everything is okay and you have a nice day 🌸

Saturn in the 12th house natives can feel like they have a lot of responsibility, even responsibility that’s in reality someone else’s. They can be people who feels guilty for saying no and feels guilty for no reason at all sometimes. There can be a heaviness over them, they can feel trapped or down for no reason at all sometimes but they are very compassionate people. They can guide others very well especially when they’ve matured a lot themselves.

Saturn opposite Pluto is an aspect that a lot of people your age might have (because it’s two slow moving/generational planets making an aspect). There might be feelings of unfairness, like you might’ve dealt with a lot that others didn’t have. You might’ve felt targeted by either the people around you or the world in general. There could be repression of who are or want to be. Ultimately it can make you stronger.

Within the Opposites: Gemini Full Moon of Nov. 2018 - Real Imaginal Astrology

***Check out Real Imaginal Daily Divinations on Instagram!*** Following is an ode to the potentials within the Gemini Full Moon of 2018 (Nov. 22 at 9:39pm US/Pacific). I write you as I return from a journey to the underworld catacombs to retrieve the lost ancestors, forgotten and excluded ancestors, the neglected ancestors…a journey of giving thanks to both the destructive and the creative aspects of those who gave me this existence. For how hard it is to fully appreciate the gifts our ancestors have given us. So many of those gifts can appear to be curses, ugly and unwanted. But held with care, under a sustained gaze and a willingness to suffer the deformities of time, even the unwanted offers strength to the kind of life we aspire to live. The 2018 Full Moon in Gemini speaks to us of the delusions of force and the pitfalls of overconfidence. The sword of the mind and its desire to create sharp distinctions and to banish shadows becomes dangerous within the flux of kairos—the melting away of …
