Adolescence marks the first step toward conscious individuation.
Out of the tantrums of the two-and-a-half year old, and the

confidence of the 10-year old, there emerges suddenly
a mysterious thing. At the first opposition of Saturn to itself,
a new being materializes through the psyche.
"The seeds of future events are carried within ourselves. They are implicit in us and unfold according to the laws of their own nature." -- Lawrence Durrell, The Alexandria Quartet: Cleo
