The fated sky
Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull
Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull.

In an astrology sign, and going back to where I started2, each astrology sign is 30°. Then dividing that into three equal segments, called “decans,” each slice is represented by a planet and a card.

8 — Swiftness
9 — Strength
10 — Oppression

With the Eight, it is Mercury in Sagittarius, Swiftness. With that mercurial swiftness and speed, the Wands tackle and accomplish a task.

The Nine is the Moon, and that lends an emotional Strength, the Wands have an ability to surmount the challenges — with passionate feeling.

The Ten is Saturn. Saturn is all about pushing forward, but within this card? The Wands have already triumphed, and yet that Saturn keeps marching ever forward. Saturn, in Sagittarius on the card, Saturn, pushing towards Capricorn, the next in line, along the zodiac.3

In as more traditional house system, the first ten degrees of Sagittarius is Jupiter’s, the second is Mars and the final third is the Sun.

Hint, I’m obviously a first slice Sagittarius, hence the slightly wilder approach to matters.

Number 14, the Art Card? In Latin, arched around the central figure, there’s an expression, “visita interiora terrae rectificando invenies occultum lapidem,” V.I.T.R.I.O.L. — visit the interior parts of the earth: by rectification thou shalt find the hidden stone.

Therein is a great deal of material to unpack, and not getting too far adrift?

Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, associated with the ninth house, and its planet association? Jupiter, the gas giant with a roughly4 a 12-year orbit. Corresponds nicely to with both Sagittarius and some other horoscopic symbols in various schools of astrology5.

There is a series of eclipses along a Sagittarius/Gemini axis unfolding. Of themselves, these can almost be non-players, but with the recent turn of events, mostly political, there’s an ever-widening circle of connected events.

There’s also a reason, more myth and lore than substantiated fact, that an eclipse would foretell the fall of a king6.
