The Symbolic Quest - The Rewards of Perseverance - Capricorn & The Hermit ⛰️🪐✨

For this month's meeting, we’ll be delving into the archetype of Capricorn – the sign of deep reflection, ambition and professional success. The Tarot card we have picked is The Hermit, which relates to Capricorn as the symbol of the old man who brings wisdom through solitary meditation, experience and the perseverance that is needed in order to reach the highest tops.

We are in full darkness during this season, and Capricorn is the moment to sow the seeds for the upcoming cycle. While the weather invites us to hibernate, this is the perfect moment to introspect and reflect about the fruits we collected thanks to our labor. What went right? What do we need to adjust in order to evolve? What do we want to work with next season? It is not arbitrary that people do their New Year's resolutions during this time, although the right moment to do it would be in the Winter Solstice, when the seed of light is planted inside the dark soil of Capricorn.

Before we meet, you can reflect around the themes of:

→ Karma vs. Dharma
→ What does success mean to you?
→ Healthy sense of achievement vs. Overdoing
→ Responsibility & Freedom
→ Control & Repression
→ Order & Structure
→ Realism vs. Pessimism
→ Tradition vs. Attachment to old structures

Sometimes Capricorn and its related planet Saturn take everything away from us, not as a punishment but as an act of pure love: there are times when is necessary to get back to ourselves through ascetisism in order to understand what is trully ourselves and what was mere opulence and empty desire. Capricorn shows us what the true heart of things is: what is trully valuable in our lives?

Feel free to share your thoughts, or a quote, memory, or dream that resonates with you around these themes. If nothing comes up yet, simply bring your curiosity!

Please remember to update your RSVP if you can’t attend, so other members can join on time.

Looking forward to exploring these topics together!
