Feeling tired?  overburdened? weighted down and leaden-limbed?  welcome to the Lord of Oppression! In the 10 of Wands, cold, dry Saturn governs the final decan of the fire sign Sagittarius.  The embers are fading here at the northern Hemisphere's winter solstice; a mere pinpoint of southern light at the darkest time of the year.  Here the associated majors, Temperance and the World or Universe, combine in an uneasy duet of aspiration and enclosure.

In this episode we speak of the burden, the barrier, and the weight; the perils of "lust of result," and the 99% perspiration that goes into all creative acts.  We find Hephaistos and Ananke, and a surfeit of ambition which can only be cured by compassion, when the 10 of Wands gives way to the Ace of Cups.
