Cher
challenges and difficulties

Cherilyn LaPiere fears of becoming emotionally dependent upon others, and may distance herself or deny her needs for relationships of closeness and intimacy so that she will not be vulnerable to rejection or abandonment. On the other hand, Cher may cling excessively or need constant reassurance from loved ones and family. Developing a deep, inner sense of security, as well as the ability to give and receive nurturing are important tasks for Cher.

Cher has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything she does. Caution and realism are her virtues though Cher limits herself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in herself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Cher difficult to get to know intimately, as Cherilyn LaPiere tends to distance herself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

Cher has an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. Cher needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve her aspirations. Cherilyn LaPiere will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Cher instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Cher needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Cher needs to take what she has learned (either through formal education or her own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Cher's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting Cherilyn LaPiere's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable Cher to really test her belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Cher is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Cher needs to cultivate her ability to live in the present!

It is deep within herself, as Cher faces her own demons, fears, and struggles - those aspects of life that are not easily or readily shared, those parts of her life that Cher keeps hidden from public view where she is most likely to wrestle with these issues.

The qualities described above can also be beneficially channeled into some sort of charitable work, altruistic service or ministering to people in need.

The following are specific activities that will support Cher in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Cherilyn LaPiere, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

She needs to give and receive affection, love and pleasure (primarily with the qualities described previously). Cher has to learn to respond to, appreciate and create beauty, art, harmonious surroundings and relationships. She needs to be aware of aesthetics and to do things in a gracious, pleasing manner. Cher has to start enjoying life, nurturing friendships and cultivating her ability to love and to receive love.

Cher should be willing to become more of a free thinker, to experiment and change, to loosen her ties to tradition and the known and to allow for new developments. She needs to practice getting involved in an area involving new techniques, rapid changes and innovation. Cher can be part of the avant-garde promoting such changes - be it in science, music or social relationships. Cher has to be willing to be different and perhaps to be considered eccentric or odd.

Her feelings are heightened when she is with others and Cher has the ability to open up to them and show her feeling without reservation. Lead by her instincts, Cher is likely to have many spontaneous relationships with other people.
