Description
The individuation process is a journey to becoming truly authentic. It is only when we commit ourselves to something we experience as making us authentic that we stop losing ourselves in the twists and turns of our own process of individuation. Saturn’s archetypal trajectory as the anchor of man’s individuating comprises a few stages of development. Initially, we are all a part of a system whose boundaries we must, at some point, overlap. As the old, fixed organisation of life is dethroned, we need to cultivate our character by practising small steps within the frame of activities associated with Saturn’s position in the cosmogram. Saturn’s ring of pledge to our own development is a commitment to work on ourselves in depth steadily and at a pace that nourishes us and sustains our well-being.
