Meaning: 

While the second decan establishes a connection between the unknown and the known after the voluntary exile in the first decan, by the third decan, a more radical impulse emerges: the possibility of relinquishing the known entirely. Yet such a departure is fraught with difficulty, as the soul remains bound by intricate and enduring karmic ties that resist easy unraveling. This decan is about the complex return to the familiar, the place of exile, in order to reflect on its boundaries and seek a deeper reconciliation with what was once abandoned. What remains to be done? This decan poses the question: Is it worth trying to untangle this situation or just cut my losses and leave? The divinatory message often advises severing ties with the place while preserving whatever can be saved. This decan is especially challenging because it addresses those aspects that cannot simply be left behind. The decision to abandon the situation follows careful consideration, and recovering what can be salvaged is a complex process. 

Decanic Rulership: The Moon

The Moon, which represents where one comes from and one’s foundations, is the ruler of this decan; thus, this karmic connection, which often draws one back into the affairs of the nation state from which one sprang, cannot simply be severed. One is keenly attuned to the flaws of their world, often engaging in impassioned critiques of its shortcomings. There is a growing disgust and frustration with the state of affairs. While the trajectory into the unknown is unclear, one must liberate oneself from the familiar, saving only what is of worth. Individuals with the Moon in this decan are wanderers without a fixed homeland. Those with this placement are emotionally self-reliant and grounded in the intangible and unseen, remaining largely unaffected by the upheavals of the material world. While they may carry a quiet sadness and occasional feelings of alienation, they embrace acceptance and meet these challenges with resilience. 

Myths: 

This decan is associated with myths about freeing oneself from the familiar while preserving only what truly matters.
