The idea of "daddy's little girl" can work fine as long as the girl stays little. But, inevitably, the girl becomes a woman and there are necessary adjustments for father and daughter. There's no doubt about the profound and healthy bond that should and can develop between them. But in the cross-hairs of daily life, it's sometimes hard to avoid power struggles and mixed messages between parent and child.
Astrology can help. The stars reveal the deep underlying patterns for our behaviors. This is especially important in the critical relationships between fathers and daughters. This brief guide will outline the key issues for each sign so fathers can be more aware of the impact they're having.
Aries father (March 21 to April 19)
Perhaps your deepest desire is that your daughter be Wonder Woman somehow, a true Amazon. It's highly laudable that you want nothing but strength, power and success for your daughter, but don't lose sight of the fact that she is a young woman. You can't refashion her into a boy, especially by believing that her gender doesn't matter. It's important to acknowledge her needs and desires may, in fact, differ from yours over time.
Taurus father (April 20 to May 20)
Your daughter can always count on feeling safe and secure around you, unless she's crossed you somehow. This is probably the most challenging aspect of your relationship with her: your temper. You want things to go a certain way, with the best of intentions for her, but you can't be too attached to the outcomes. Everyone's entitled to a life, so be sure to let her live hers on her own terms.
Gemini father (May 21 to June 20)
There's no question that you enjoy communicating and talking about the world to your daughter. She might not be able to chat with you like you are one of her girlfriends, but you could be dubbed an honorary one. The problem, though, is that you often find yourself facing the temptation to conveniently bend or re-shape the rules to smooth over some problem in the moment. Keep track of what you say and be sure you mean it as you say it.
Cancer father (June 21 to July 22)
Your focus and devotion to your children is slightly more heightened than with most other dads. You love to pamper your little girl, and your first priority is to protect her from harm. However, part of growing up is being faced with risks, and that goes for you, too. You can't minimize the chance of risks completely, so be clear on the levels of protection and nurturing you want to provide your daughter. Too much of a good thing could ruin her chances to be a fully functioning adult and independent woman.
Leo father (July 23 to Aug. 22)
There's no doubt in your mind that you're the king and she's your princess. But don't lose sight of the fact that you're raising a queen, not a princess. You don't always know what's best, and she sees that, despite your attempts to hide it. The soundest foundation on which to build your relationship with your daughter is trust, not power. Listen to her suggestions, as she truly adores you and only wants your respect in return.

Virgo father (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
It's beautiful that you approach being a dad with so much seriousness and diligence, but at times you come off as attempting to be a little too professional with the job. Don't try too hard to make everything perfect for your daughter. Once she's grown, it's not everything you did for her that's going to count most. It's getting to know you as a person and a father that's going to be most meaningful thing for her.
