Pluto is Sesquisquare The Sun
Cupkom is a powerful child, challenging herself and those who love her to stand up and take notice of life's abundance. She is curious and keen to explore new territory. If extroverted then young Cupkom is likely to end up in trouble as a result of her curiosity and resulting adventures into the outside world. She is a real character, a regular Tom Sawyer or Pippi Longstocking. However, a more introverted child may simply enjoy spending time on her own studying the inner workings of toys, nature and/or household equipment.
From the moment of birth Cupkom's father plays a pivotal role in her life. Her childhood relationship with father, or a strong father figure, determines the extent to which she feels able to carve her own niche later in life. Cupkom is likely to adore her father as a young child. As the patriarch of the family he earns the respect of those surrounding him. A growing child keenly notices this. However, there may be a time when this adoration is transformed by a sense of betrayal. This is not necessarily within father's control. No one can live up to God-like expectations. However, he can make sure that Cupkom feels supported as much as possible.
Both Cupkom and her father have strong personalities and therefore they clash, each determined to express their own views or have their own way. It is important that Cupkom's father shows self-restraint, otherwise these clashes could become violent. He needs to ensure that young Cupkom is kept safe, away from emotional, verbal and physical abuse. In other words Cupkom's father needs to provide a safe environment in which he and Cupkom can both assert their own wills and gain greater understanding of themselves and each other. If this is not achieved then young Cupkom loses a sense of her own identity and cowers in the face of adversity. She eventually rebels, probably in her teenage years. However, if Cupkom's father can allow her the freedom to develop her own powerful personality then young Cupkom is likely to develop great personal power, the ability to lead others and to achieve her own goals.
The theme of death can also play an important role under this influence. Young Cupkom is both more sensitive to the grief process and also more able to grow in strength through this process, be it the death of a family member or the death of a pet.
Uranus is Square Mercury
Cupkom is a little rebel. She is intelligent, quick to grasp concepts and to make up her mind. Once her mind is made up, she is unlikely to change it. Cupkom is wilful. This is a challenge for parents and mentors because little Cupkom can be quite uncooperative.
Even as a youngster Cupkom is opinionated and prone to argue rather than listen to adult advice. Cupkom needs to learn by experience and is constantly testing limits. Parents and mentors can influence Cupkom positively by making sure that all rules are fair and consistent. Cupkom also needs to be given plenty of freedom to explore her environment and learn new activities within safe boundaries. Cupkom is likely to act before she thinks of the consequence. Her rash behaviour can get her into all sorts of trouble. She does not respond well to physical discipline. Parents would be advised to try innovative discipline approaches such as having some quiet time in her room. Cupkom soon misses the stimulation of other people's company and household occurrences. She is more likely to rebel against authoritarian parenting methods of her father, or a father figure.
Cupkom does well at school in a kind of erratic manner. Left to her own devices, she can quickly rise to the top of the class. However, she can also easily plummet once she loses interest or if she clashes with a teacher. Plenty of patience is needed to help young Cupkom overcome her wilful ways and to learn to consider other people.
Neptune is Square Mercury
The combination of the planets Neptune and Mercury is a challenging one. The extent of the challenge depends on the exact nature of the association and other influences in Cupkom's birth chart. However, the planet Mercury represents communication, which is overshadowed somewhat by the planet Neptune. Therefore Cupkom finds it difficult to express herself in conventional ways. Parents and mentors help Cupkom find more unorthodox ways in which to express herself such as through the creative arts. Art, poetry, theatre, dance and music can prove highly beneficial forms of expression. Cupkom is a daydreamer, often forgetful around the home. This can be frustrating for family members, who need to exercise plenty of patience.
Cupkom is often apprehensive, fearing criticism for her absent-minded ways. She needs parents, and family members, to acknowledge her many gifts, even if they are not conventional ones. Cupkom does not respond well to force.
Cupkom is intuitive, kind and loving. She is quick to care for those in need. Cupkom is imaginative and enjoys stories such as fairy tales, myths and legends. She may also have a talent for making up her own stories. Parents and mentors need to ensure that young Cupkom understands the difference between fantasy and reality. Cupkom may prefer to live in a fantasy world rather than face the demands of daily responsibilities. She is highly impressionable.
Positive influences are important in order for Cupkom to develop her self-esteem. Parents and mentors need to take special care in choosing a school for young Cupkom. She needs a school environment that encourages creativity, rather than purely academic achievement. Friendships also play an important role in helping or hindering Cupkom's sensitive nature. Therefore, it is important for parents to encourage friendships that have only a positive influence. With the right encouragement Cupkom grows in self-confidence and finds the means to express her unique gifts.
Jupiter is Sesquisquare Venus
Cupkom is charming and fun loving, popular with family members and friends. She is showered with love, affection and gifts from the moment she is born. The combination of the planets Jupiter and Venus is very fortunate. Cupkom is a little ray of sunshine, adored by friends and family. However, there are some challenges for young Cupkom. Family members, in particular an important mother figure, can overindulge her instead of teaching Cupkom the benefits of independence. As a result Cupkom is charming as a young child, but can become lazy as she matures. She unwittingly learns how to use her appeal to manipulate loved ones into running errands or taking over her tasks. Little Cupkom can also become a bit greedy, wanting more and more of the good things to which she has become accustomed. Parents and mentors need to discourage such selfish behaviour as early as possible, teaching instead the importance of gratitude, goodwill and self-discipline. Once these lessons have been learnt, Cupkom's natural enthusiasm and generosity surfaces and good fortune flows.
Pluto is Square Venus
Cupkom forms strong emotional connections with friends and family. She is more likely to single out one friend or family member, rather than relate to many. This starts when Cupkom is a baby and she forms a close attachment to her mother or a mother figure. Cupkom demands this woman's full attention, refusing to share her mother with siblings or anyone else. On the one hand this can be a positive trait. Cupkom is able to fully depend on a caring adult and therefore develop good self-esteem in the knowledge that she is deeply loved. She is able to deeply love in return.
A passionate child, Cupkom throws herself wholeheartedly into her own life and relationships. Loved ones respond, aiding her development through the different stages of childhood. On the other hand Cupkom's intensity can cause some problems. Cupkom may closely guard her relationship with her mother. Siblings may be jealous. Mother may inadvertently break the bond with little Cupkom thus sparking feelings of abandonment and rejection. Ill feeling and a lack of self-confidence then mar normal childhood development. Cupkom resorts to manipulative means to try to maintain her dependence on her mother. Parents can best help Cupkom by teaching her to understand and express her feelings in appropriate ways. With strong parental support Cupkom becomes self-confident, able to form and maintain close ties with friends and family members. Commitment to associations and projects then becomes a major strength in young Cupkom's life.
Conclusion
”When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” -- Mark Twain “Bringing Up Father”
This report has been written from a child’s point of view with the aim of helping parents and mentors better understand their youngsters. Of course, each person is ultimately responsible for their own actions, but the support that children get early in life goes a long way to helping them live rich and rewarding adult lives. Children need to be given the freedom to be their true selves rather than being forced to live up to parental expectations or to fulfill parents’ own personal journeys. They need their parents to live their own lives to the full, joyously and responsibly. Above all children need love and support. What great gifts and what a challenging role for parents! It is the author’s hope that this report may help in the process of childhood development, supporting both child and parent. My own father often quoted the above saying by Mark Twain. So I thought that I would share it in this report. My mother gave me many of the aforementioned gifts. I hope that these have shone through in the writing of this report.
