Here we see the injunctions which have come directly from Father or the primary authority figure in childhood, which fulfill the "set up" of the Planetary theme of NS. The process required, is to transition from the deficit position regarding the beliefs, to a healthy ability to be a responsible & successful being in the world as the "right to exist", with ease, with joy, and with fun!

The deficit beliefs are formed through the Father's original actions regarding responsibility, and as Saturn operates through either under or over compensation, the Father will have been either:

  1. Overly responsible, thereby depriving the child of the opportunity to learn how to take care of themselves in the world. This in turn leads to a lack of strength & endurance, and an ongoing reliance on Father or some other responsible person. OR

  2. He would have been not responsible at all, causing difficulty and hardship in the family system, through his lack of physically and/or emotionally caring for the family. This then leads to the child's belief about lack of support, so "I have to do it all myself" because "there's no-one there for me", or, "it's always going to be hard" so I must struggle etc. The positive result from this experience is a tremendous strength and endurance ability which is born through the struggle of the early years.
When counselling my clients who carry this theme (or any theme for that matter), I always suggest that they don't have to throw out the proverbial baby with the bath water. In other words there are always positive results from the original deficit beliefs, which need to be maintained, at the same time as re-permissioning the limiting beliefs into new and positive ones. So for example here, we would encourage the client to cherish their strength and fortitude and recognise how very useful this is, as the NS people are the builders of the world, who create lasting and meaningful structures as a result of their efforts.

We can then encourage them to release the belief that they are unsupported, and that it is safe to allow others to be there for them, without having to be responsible for everybody else (so they can get their sense of recognition, and above all get loved). This in turn allows them to release their deeply repressed anger and frustration at all they have to do to "get loved", and to become more gentle and loving in turn.

Whether the Father played out the under or over compensated role (which would have been expressed through the signs and houses of Sun and Saturn), in the early scene, the early family life would have been over bounded, with many rules and regulations to be maintained, as the system is tightly "clenched" so that order can be maintained. He would have been cold and/or aloof in his bearing, and conveyed a quality of seriousness as his maintenance behavior. The NS type sets up this early experience where there is a very autocratic and authoritarian setup, to limit their own perception of themselves as being able to create their own inner authority figure. Their anima ( or feminine) function is very limited, and the compensation for this is often the very autocratic father, who is subsequently replaced by bosses, and other authority figures in adult life. They model themselves on this, and seek to emulate it, in the belief that this will gain the respect they would like to believe they deserve, in turn gaining their right to exist. The image of the Victorian family and Father is very appropriate here.

So here we have the corporate administrators and bureaucratic functionary types, who sadly did not have fun and joy in their early lives, and don't know how to have it in their adult lives either. The Spirit of the Child is deficit here & needs to be repermissioned to become free & creative, thus enabling the client to realise they have the right to joy and camaraderie as they achieve their goals.
