6 of Spades – Auriga
The sun still follows the river Eradinus from May 11th to May 21st into the constellation Auriga The Chariot, this decan is ruled by Saturn. The actual constellation is of a distinguished old shepherd with reigns in his right hand and a goat and two kids in his left hand. The birth of this constellation is lost in time, but in country after country race after race the stars in this constellation are associated with the flood and massive droughts. The star of the goat is quite interesting, for one it is the most northerly star of it’s magnitude, so it comes out in the early evening and is the brightest high point in the northern sky. The Arabic name is Capella, from which the word cornucopia comes. Later yet the familiar term “horn of plenty” is derived from the name of this star and the star representing the goat in Auriga’s arms.
If you find this card in your spread it represents the master ship of desires and urges while at the same time shows letting go or dissipation, with mastership the old life falls away.
