Caplan (1964) identified the stages of crisis:
(1) the person is exposed to a stressor, experiences anxiety, and tries to cope in a customary fashion; (2) anxiety increases when customary coping skills are ineffective; (3) the person makes all possible efforts to deal with the stressor, including attempts at new methods of coping; and (4) when coping attempts fail, the person experiences disequilibrium and significant distress.
Crises occur in response to a variety of life situations. In the modern astrological view there is a formula of describing one of a behavioral pattern.
I am referring to the position of Saturn retrograde in the Horoscope. Indeed when this phenomenon is presented a huge amount about the individual’s development is clearly suggested.
Due to cultural manners, the figure of the father is the first authority of life to anyone. As a matter of fact he is the one who rules, who dictates order and who makes the living. This paternal role must be applied in a lovingly and caringly way to the children. If not the children develops problems because every individual has its own particular needs( represented by the planets).
In case they are not fulfilled then he loses the Self-Worth awareness, feels unloved, and loses confidence in any personal arena. Disorders easily happen. All of this is responsibility of Saturn. It is clearly an accumulation of unfinished business gained from early homelife.
Saturn being retrograde indicates the sense of being incomplete and imperfect because the children is deprived of what it needs of what the community says it should have to fit in comfortable. Those who born with this indication in their horoscopes, experience a type of detour, a delay a pause built into development for some for some very hard lessons to be learned. In short, Saturn retrograde phenomenon is very powerful and it affects all parts of a living.
The best side of this placement is that it also makes them stronger.
