I have my Saturn on the cusp of my 5th house. I had my first child at the age of 40 (maybe a little late even for a guy). Soon I fell in love with her and she became my pride and joy.
The first 1.5 yrs were pretty standard, development-wise. During the last 6+ months, we started observing that she is falling back in terms of development goals.
Not only that, it almost feels like she doesn't even recognize me and only "uses" me as opposed to sharing any kind of affection or shared time. She shows absolutely no interest in other children or playing with them (among many other signs of autism).
Since the mother and I are from different countries and cultures and have relationship issues, we are at a juncture where we need to make major decisions regarding our future.
Something relevant to mention here:
I strongly believe (after learning about autism in adult women), my girlfriend is an undiagnosed autist.
She is in denial but I have known her for 3 yrs. Looking back, most of our fights were caused by some stereotypical traits of autism, such as "lack of empathy", "lack of short term memory" etc. You see, if you are unaware that she has a neurological disorder, you assume that she is just being cruel and careless, etc, and this ends up causing fights.
On top of this, I know that both she and her father are HSPs (Highly Sensitive Person). For those who don't know what this is (I didn't know until last week), it is another neurological disorder that makes them unable to watch even a little violence in films and TV. I tried even PG 10-13 movies with my gf and we couldn't watch them.
In addition to this, the daughter of her half-sister (same father as that of my gf) is suspected to have ADHD and is going through the process of diagnosis at the moment.
I would really appreciate it if someone with the knowledge and a kind heart takes a look at my and my daughter´s charts and give any indications about the future.
Should I resign to the idea that I won't have a relationship or a good relationship with my child?

Dear Sir,

I want to ask ...

Does the mother of your child live in the same country as you? (Sweden)?

You are getting involved in the mental health system of Sweden?

Also, what is your Career, your training?

*~

I see that you opened a new thread, with the same questions,
- http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum11/HTML/026489.html

Stoika is a good person. She is seeing things about child and mother (and mother's extended family) as looking through 'your' perspective, your eyes, 'at' the child.

Your emotions caused you to come to tears at what Stoika 'validated' to you.

~*

Gently, I want to present you with the materials I am now reading from this book that looks at the influence of the Father and the Mother by aspects in the natal chart-- that especially cover the formative years of "birth to 3 years old."

The 'impressions' your child is primed for, by the natal (which describes also your relationship with the mother at the time), describes "potential mistakes"??, that the parents are doing with NO idea of what's occurring inside the child 'except' that WE can have the clues given through the Astrology....

You STILL have time to correct things right now that you 'report' are going on with your little daughter. She JUST turned TWO years old, on May 9. What you 'do' for her now, emotionally, can make the effects to her life less of a negative, and towards a healed positive.

She is soooo young!! YOU can still make a difference FOR her future life... Awareness of her possible inner states, and your subconscious reacting to 'what' behaviors you 'think' you see (that might actually be 'you' processing your own childhood 'through' her reminding you), can be 'adjusted' by you.

Warmly, you can come to see it through 'her' experience, and it might open WORLDS you could not understand because she's too young to sit down and have an adult conversation at this time. But her chart (and yours) can speak possible words and conditions she's experiencing... soooo young. awww.

I remember my own daughters... It was breath taking to 'see' myself at their various ages. Kind of a shock to past memories. I recall how it evoked strong memories of things I had buried deep inside my emotions.... It was 'me' .. that I had the blessing of processing and healing, as they grew. Yes!

She JUST went through her Mars Gemini Return.

According to this book, you STILL (if you 'choose') can CHANGE some of what's going on INSIDE of your child that you cannot see! You assume reasons for so-called 'behaviors' .. that gently, dear sir, could ACTUALLY be projections coming from 'you' and your own impressions received in childhood from your Mother and your Father, and THEM as a Couple. No adults really understand the impact of their relationship together, on the environmental NEEDS for a child.

Yes... Your OWN childhood is 'seen' through your own chart!

In the first 5 to 6 years of a developing child, everything is based off the relationships of your own Moon TO the Child's Moon... okay? ..

Really really TRULY, you can have a HEALING effect ON your Daughter right NOW, that will help HER have a better future life.

You know, it's the Daddy that teaches the daughter how to find a mate, a husband, a good and wonderful partner in life.

You want that, yes? ... You said how MUCH you enjoyed her (till she passed through her Mars-Return.. *smile*).

Children grow... Sometimes they are daddy-oriented, then they WILL go through mommy-only times. It swings back and forth, over packets of months.

Consider it a Vacation when they want the one parent more than the other, in the demands they have for meeting their needs.

I see your Cancer Sun...
You wanted a cuddly child?

I see by your Sun sextile Saturn Virgo in the 5th, that you have actually have a "talent" when it comes to building a structure for a child to grow, early in life. And that you have the ability to help a child to work with an authority figure (you! LOL).
. .
This book also says that you may tend (after age of 50), to enter a more spiritual time of your life. ... There's a suggestion here that your own father had influence (in whatever it was) and it is slowly helping 'you' open and expand your consciousness.

I see that you are in your Midlife Transit of "Uranus opp Uranus." .. Can represent the kindling of Kundalini starts of Experience.


Oops.... Strong thunder and lightning here.

I'm going to close this post.

Name of Book

Betty Lunsted
Astrological Insights into Personality. 1980

yikes!! almost lost electricity.

Hey Mirage,
Thank you for your response.
We are currently in Brazil (the country of the mother). We tried to live in Sweden during the last year but the mother couldn´t adjust to a new country and made our relationship much worse. I agreed to move to Brazil although I don´t have a job or any other ties other than my daughter and paying for all the expenses from my pocket. The mother doesn´t have a job and therefore no health insurance in Brazil.

Our only mission at the moment is to help our daughter be treated. Neither of us is working. This is our full-time job.

I agree that everything is subjective and my observations regarding my gf´s autistic behaviors are also subjective. However, there are facts that I have been seeing and continue to see that are undeniable signs of autism.

Say that I don´t see any signs in my gf, family tree or me/my family tree...I would be relieved. Why? it would mean that the chances that our daughter has it are next to none. I would love this scenario.

Regarding my daughter being cuddly and smiling etc, it's not just with me that her behavior changed but also towards her mother. She doesn´t smile, make eye contact even when breastfeeding, etc.

Thanks for response..
Lightning storm almost over.
My battery backup on computer turned on to save what I had done earlier. yay.

OMG... what you said? with your moving to Brazil, and language barrier??? a bit? is exact to the description of your daughter's Moon opp Saturn aspect!! This blows me away...


I see that you're taking this as a 'medical' problem? .. Assuming she plays a 'sick' role.
I see in Social Trends in mental health, the tendency and emphasis on pop-psychology to see childhood behaviors in more 'sick' light, than just a kid going through 'what they go through'... Interpreting everything as something OFF in the child, and parents take a very emotionally DETACHING stance with the child when that is occurring .. oh my. The charts describe the child's reaction to being emotionally~semi-rejected and alone. (don't know if I'm using the right words for that).

You are thinking that the child is abnormal not making the early 'baby' reactions with mother and child bonding at the breast.

Is there a reason she is still breast feeding at 2 years old?

Perhaps with the child being a 'toddler' now, rather than small baby, she might be giving you both 'clues' that she's ready to be weaned?

I remember my first baby weaned her 'own' self at 9 months old. I was soooo disappointed! LOL. That represented a "loss" inside of me, bringing a subconscious feeling of being 'rejected.'

The other daughter (a Taurus) was still breast feeding at 14 months, and I had to get her weaned...

YIKES... more lightning.
Sorryyyyyy gotta go.

autism is a spectrum, your daughter is young now give things time there are people with high functioning autism spectrum issues who are very capable of forming relationships (even good ones) with people in their lives

I agree, it is a spectrum. I am not too worried about the language stuff. I believe, she will pick that up. What worries me is the "feeling emotions" part. Knowing the mother... how she behaves with her own family and towards me...if my daughter gets that, that would be a little worrying...

I don´t know how much you know about Autism. There is a laundry list of "red flags" and "stereotypical behaviors" of autism. If a child shows one or two of them, yes! you would be right that I am reading too much into it. When a child starts to show many of those red flags, one needs to start to pay attention and act early.

Breastfeeding acts as a pacifier for my daughter, I believe. It is not much about the milk since she eats all kinds of food quite well. I suppose, she gets the safety, the touch, etc from breastfeeding that she needs.

Book mentioned that she may be picking up on the atmosphere of stress in your relationship with her mother.

The time you said this child 'changed' and went more within---

Incident?
Had you erupted fiercely with a loud and very violent (even physical) outburst in front of the child, aimed towards her mother during that time you noted 'a change' suddenly occur with her?

Getting some couples counseling to lower the animosity, might help you gain trust from this child again.

In a violent outburst, maybe she was more-vulnerable and now suddenly is afraid of you? Locked-up inside for all the anger in the place. Even if you speak in nice tones, children can still sense the rage (and sudden rejection) you hold for her refusing to engage with you?
Perhaps you didn't 'mean' to scare her?
You and her mother merely had an overdue fierce outburst?
(your natal Mars H1 square Saturn H5)

Transits: you have MANY multiple transits any of which 'alone' could cause an OVER amount of pent up frustrations --

Rereading your original post, I see that you are wanting to make a more-immediate decision of whether to leaving them?
I wish you Peace in your decision-making.

Children are going through the stages of development as you noted. I’m not sure what are your development goals. For example, desire to share is not something what you’re born with according to many psychologists.

“This behavior may embarrass and frustrate parents, but an unwillingness to share is perfectly normal at this age! In Tuning In, ZERO TO THREE’s national parent survey, 43% of parents surveyed thought that children should be able to master sharing by age 2. In fact, these skills develop between 3.5 to 4 years old. Knowing what to expect can help parents manage their expectations and their frustration when they see children having difficulty with turn-taking.”

http://www.zerotothree.org/resources/1964-helping-young-children-with-sharing


She is too young. Give her time to develop her unique personality. Many children are not that nice and angel creations what you would wannta to see, and they’re still not autistic.
Also, she is Aqua AC what already makes her different and detached.
Also, children are very observing what’s going on with parents is always effecting them,

With all due respect for you and for Astrology, I suggest seeing a doctor about your concerns, because the charts can only help so much.

As I suggested...
Per his original post,

He reports that he lives in the home with mother and daughter, and wasn't getting along well with the mother.

He gave further indications that his anger and frustration levels were up so high, that he considers 'leaving them'.

He accuses the mother,
and mother's extended family
of multiple displays of mental illness,
and for now considers even 'blaming the child'.

Consequences

From indications in the Father's Chart,
and child's natal --
especially considering that the child (at around 18 mos) went from being happy loving and accepting of him -- to suddenly "shunning" outside contacts,,,
I would want to know
"what happened in the Home (H4)"
during that time she went from open, to closed?

Is there any way he could have scared and emotionally "triggered" her? Caused her to feel unsafe?

Surely it wasn't "deliberate" on his part--
as he is soo frustrated with the mother and condition of joblessness at this time.

Is this little family needing to depend on 'the relatives' of the mother for some housing or temporary relief, resource-wise?

That's a terribly TOUGH position for a native India-culture "man" (living among the more passionate expressive South American culture) to be in?

Stepped into a Tradition!!
The Man as Provider.
They did not choose abortion (religion).

He fell in love, and produced a surprise baby so LATE on his journey, put a crimp on his freedom. Has a great responsibility now.
(Is the mother a much younger person?.)

Brazil, along with sooo many other countries, are having economic problems. COVID made people Sick, and having to go into lock-downs, quarantines? Making an income {finding jobs} became even HARDER.
Health insurance .. not as affordable.


INCIDENT: ???
Trigger:

IF Father suddenly (accidently) "happened!!!" to have had one of those "I've had it"!!! kind of violent outburst and displays AT the mother-- and in view or hearing of his daughter at the "wrongggg timing" ..
{maybe even while she was breastfeeding}..

If he happened to blow-up in violent altercation acting-out with a (brief) dramatic display of TEMPER,
... then, that could have even frightened the Mother {{during breastfeeding???}}
... both, giving the CHILD an internal REACTION --

Incident caused the child, to suffer feelings of being unsafe---
in an unstable home-environment.
{natal uranus 4th}.

All it would have taken was one (mistakenly) over-sized fierce dramatic anger display, to electrify the child and 'imprint' a wound onto this child. (Unknowingly by the feuding going on.)

The Child had an imprint moment, a sense of being in danger when he was around, and her psyche shut down to him -- and others for a while.

In a kind of shock,
she may be trying to process
that her environment is not safe
to be open and loving.
.. Closed her WAY down.

He will have to slowly EARN her opening up to love and trust (of him, of the mother, of adults) again?

Her chart indicates that there was a problem in the male female dynamics in her early environment.
. .
She may have a problem with choosing partners that will re-play the energetic dynamics of 'this' time.
May suffer lack of feeling loved and accepted--
(even if that was FAR from being true whatsoever!!)

She's soooo small!
She's sensitive! (Moon Cancer)
Anger was palpable?
Even if he never laid a hand of physical harm to the mother's body or the child, it was the TONE of the home environment?

*~

I've always been sensitive to reactions observed (in public settings) of small children to their caregivers.

I've witnessed it before ---

There's a "certain time window" where the child can make a self-decision, that 'the world isn't safe anymore, and IN that portal, they close-down.

Recent Child Psych STUDIES:
There's good news for children who were being raised in homes where they were feeling/being-treated/ unsafe in their home in earliest years. There IS another "window of time" around age 5 to 6 {around time of going to school}, where the previous 'shut-down' or harmful effects CAN be reversed.
These children can recover.

{I don't remember enough from the professional article to say what played into that.}

My VOLUNTEER Work
Part of a Volunteer job I had, was on same floor as Child Protection social workers who had been assigned by a Judge to visit homes, and observe. They were even known to remove a child, and place the child in the care of relatives, or outside fosters for a while.

There IS Hope for children,
that 'in that certain portal of time'
can heal of damages done to the child's psyche. Grow more healthy. 'Normal' ..

In this case,
as advocate for the child
And,
"because" of markers in the father's chart,
And,
considering rough transits activating the Father's chart for several years coming--

I will gently firmly ask that he consider (on his own)--
whether the sudden withdrawal found in this child's behavior might have been preceded
by a sudden fierce outburst by him?

To consider any of his own behaviors as having led to this shut-down.

Counseling --
if he is having anger-frustration issues, then seeking some anger-management counseling (for a short while) could help him immensely during this especially frustrating time?

I've personally known someone who had frustration and angry impulsive sudden outbursts on the job-- (even to near-physically attacking customers).

Through special programs (assigned by a Judge and his employer) he took a series of anger-management classes and short counseling.
. .
Had only 'one' incident where they made him REPEAT the treatment.
. .
After that period of time, he did VERY well managing his fierce anger-outbreaks (with scary throwing things around the home).
Amazing how the modern counseling treatment the give for that 'works'.


Eswar is having transiting Uranus
conjunct his CHIRON Taurus, in H12/asc.

By Healing your SELF, ..
you heal your Family.

Do it FOR them.
Life is both very long, and short.
Do the Right thing....
She's sooo small.

Make the Daddy-difference
in your Daughter's future Life.

Happy Father's Day
USA, this Sunday, June 20.
