In Vault of Glass, triggering the DPS phase is indicated when a message at the lower left corner says "Guardians make their own fate.".

I'm not sure why it's worded this way or if it has a deeper meaning than to tell the player to start DPS'ing Atheon.

In Destiny, the vast majority of beings are causal, meaning one event leads into another in a way that can be predicted. This is the basic concept of the Vex simulations. However, some beings enhanced by the Light or the Darkness (i.e. Guardians) are paracausal, meaning they cannot be simulated by the Vex. "Guardians make their own fate" refers to the paracausality of Guardians.
