Meaning:

The third decan of Taurus is a place of hardship, destruction, and toil. In the first decan of Taurus, ambitious plans are made, and in the second, success was realized; however, the third decan brings a clash with destructive forces that thwart completion. This decan illustrates those that are subject to external forces and hubris, and leading to their subsequent destitution as floods, droughts, and pests devastate what has been carefully cultivated. Much like crops are at the mercy of nature’s whims, individuals must navigate the destructive forces that shape their destinies. This decan represents the capacity to guard against misfortune and the process of remediation for any unfortunate event. 


Decanic Rulership: Saturn

Those born with Saturn in this placement are confronted with the inherent vulnerabilities of material existence. Yet this awareness of potential hardship is a profound form of foresight, enabling these individuals to anticipate challenges and safeguard themselves against disasters. The destructive forces that pervade this decan give rise to the virtues of wisdom and patience.  Saturn’s presence in this decan imparts a vital lesson in humility before the forces of nature. This humility is essential, as many of the trials foretold arise from acts of hubris. There is a willingness to prepare for unforeseen challenges and an ability to invoke greater power to correct mistakes or heal damage. 


Myths:

This decan is associated with  myths about folly, hardship, and the potential for redemption.
