Decan Walk: first decan of Sagittarius
This is just the Part II update for the first decan of Sagittarius, where I muse about anything related to the correspondences of the Sagittarius 1 decan we reviewed in Part I.
As mentioned, this decan combines a Jupiter ruled sign, with a Mercury ruled decan, which seems to combine some good fortune (Jupiter) and expansion (Jupiter) with all things related to Mercury, like communications. I did notice a whole lot of communications during this decan, most of which were with my printers around the new book. Publishing in general is a function of Jupiter, and books themselves could be considered Mercury as dissemination of information. So there has been a lot of back and forth getting things settled around the book printing, and the printing of the new editions of Telos Tarot of 777, and some other decks I’m getting replenished or restocked in inventory, or newly added.
Even expanding (Jupiter) inventory (Mercury) fits the themes.
But also, it was very interesting to see that all the myriad web and technology problems I’ve been having during the last Mercury retrograde all seemed to finally, blessedly, resolve right at the start of this decan, even though at that point, Mercury was still retrograde. I’ll take it! It was a big relief to finally have some good fortune in that area! Chalking it up to: Jupiter’s help, and Mercury’s face dignity here in this decan, even though the RX wasn’t yet done. It is done now though, and so soon Mercury will be getting fully back up to speed. I think it will be in even better shape after the full moon on Dec 4th, and out of the RX shadow period by December 11th. Which is around when I expect to be shipping out all the pre-ordered books and decks!
Another observation is that here in the US Thanksgiving holiday falls here in the first decan of Sagittarius – a big huge feast (Jupiter) and a lot of conversation, catching up (Mercury) with friends and family.
It also coincides with all the BIG SALES – another Jupiter/Mercury theme. Jupiter is always BIG and Mercury is the patron of merchants. It is a bunch of hot air, in some cases, like the big A online retailer who grossly inflates the prices then claims its a big prime deal that is X% off. It usually is a big exaggeration, also a Jupiter/Mercury theme.
I didn’t post any “big sales” during this Sag 1 decan, as frankly I almost never do. I find the whole Black Friday! Cyber Monday! etc coming at me from every merchant I’ve ever purchased from kind of overwhelming to the point of irritation. But I get overwhelmed easily by such things. So I usually just do a “procrastinators sale” in Sagittarius 2 instead, as a sort of reverse-birthday way of offering something, for those that expect or need it.
As of the time of posting this, we are right at the cusp of the next decan, my birthday decan, good old Sagittarius 2. So I’m looking forward to some good times, before buckling down to ship the pre-ordered decks and books that I expect to arrive here at either the end of this week or during the next one.
Onward! See you in Sag 2!
