Surprisingly , as an Aries father, Russell Crowe says he's a pushover Dad with his kids. Crowe told People Magazine on Sunday at the New York premiere of his latest thriller Body of Lies.
"Between my wife and myself, I'm the pushover as far as the kids are concerned."
Why is Crowe (birth data from astrotheme.com) who has such a different image in the media a pushover when it comes to his sons? As we noted in an earlier post his sons Tenny and Charlie are a Cancer and a Sagittarius respectively.
Their Dad is an Aries with a Moon in Aquarius and an Aquarius rising.
Both boys have Neptune in Aquarius. Tenny has a Moon in Scorpio and his older brother Charlie has a Moon in Scorpio (and a Sun conjunct Pluto) or a Moon in Sagittarius depending on what time he was born. Cusp signs for children are easy to figure out with Mlle Kiddie's special calculating free chart wheel software. Charles was born on December 21, 2003. One's first response would guess he was a Capricorn because it looks like he was born on the solstice, but that year the solstice was the next day.
Here's what Tennyson's Kiddiegram says about his Neptune in Aquarius
Neptune in Aquarius:
This group harbors great hopes for world unity and universal brother and sisterhood. An inner group impulse toward collective awakening and a strongly futuristic, visionary, evolutionary "dream". On the other hand, increasing globalization and impersonalization of daily life is strongly at work in their lives. How to contribute to the whole without becoming a cog in the machine is their quest

Neptune in 7th house:Tenny's hopes, dreams, and fantasies are often projected on to other people. He may be enthralled with a new friend, seeing only this person's special and wonderful qualities, then become disillusioned when the other doesn't live up to his image. He may also be drawn to people he believes need saving, like the forlorn child who is new to the neighborhood or the social misfit that others shun, and he can be endlessly giving. In time he will learn to be more objective and balanced in his perspective on others. Parents and others in his life who model good boundaries and healthy relationships can help Tenny in this regard.
Bingo. This sounds like a basic primer on some of the best traits of Aquarius, which their Dad
has in spades. They are quite literally like many kids to their parents, his future, his hopes and dreams and his gift to the world his sons will create with their dreams and aspirations. Read up on the power of Neptune at Cafe Astrology.
