Meaning:
The first decan of Capricorn is about laying claim to a specific domain in the material world. The spirit descends into the densest layers of the material world. Here, consciousness sinks grounds itself more completely in form. This strong attachment to material form disrupts perceptual clarity, and more subtler realities become obscured. The task is to awaken these deeper layers of matter and animate the elemental forces, while simultaneously directing them with higher, rational intelligence. Within Capricorn’s larger narrative arc, this phase is about seeking the most fertile ground to build upon. The first decan of Capricorn asks: should I bother planting in this field or explore land elsewhere? It calls for careful exploration and discernment—deciding whether to invest in the current terrain or venture beyond to find a more promising place to build. This decan is about laying claim to a particular territory in order to position oneself for great success.
Decanic Rulership: Jupiter
Jupiter is in its fall in Capricorn, suggesting there is opportunity for improvement, the chance to grow by finding a better position within a given domain. Often, the recommended way to improve is not to work harder of smarter where one resides, but to seek out new land—relocate and establish oneself in a different area. Those with Jupiter in Capricorn are often blessed with fortunate opportunities for advancement, both professional and socially. They possess a sharp ability to assess the merits of different positions and demonstrate sound judgment in choosing among them. Those with this placement have a deep understanding of how shifting circumstances can reshape destiny; however, they often place excessive reliance on external factors and there is a tendency toward materialism that demands mindful restraint.
Myths:
This decan is associated with myths about the careful exploration and thoughtful evaluation of territory to identify the most fertile ground to build upon.
