Ok but Decan 1 narrative, does it relate? Feels like it does in so many ways but I’m endlessly toiling away for better outcomes and have felt hopelessly left for dead for so long..
Thank you so much for sharing this creative construction! I've been playing with the notion that hard work can become easy if only we allow ourselves to find gratitude for the commitment it requires. With this in mind, each step forward can feel bountiful in and of itself, perhaps the real blessing of this decan for the work itself is never done.
As a student of astrology who has three of my four-planet Capricorn stellium in Decan II---Sun, Moon, Jupiter, along with the North Node of the Moon as my birth day (1/4/73) was an eclipse in this decan---I very much resonated with this story and the message.
I feel like the things in life worth pursuing are often things that take time and may not be recognized. When you finish such projects, you realize that the lack of recognition can actually make achieving this outcome feel more special. This is because of a key Saturnian word: Integrity. Integrity is about, among other things, being true to your word. Thus, if you set out on a long-term project and say you'll finish it, integrity asks that we finish it even if obstacles occur (they will!) or doubts happen (they will!). The cliche "one step at a time" can reduce the burden of such long-term projects; just narrow them down into doable steps and then, to borrow a marketing term from the Aries archetype, "Just do it."
I'm speaking from experience here from a number of things I've done in my 52 years, most recently being how at the start of 2024, I committed to publishing a podcast for all 366 days of 2024. I did it! Very few people know I did it, but it feels great nonetheless, because it wasn't easy yet I stuck with it. And now, there is an immense sense of accomplishment and gratitude to myself for doing this, and this is increasing my confidence about 2025 and beyond.
Anyway, great article! Thanks for taking the time to create and share it!
