Ambition

Ambition is the drive to climb: to set a high goal and keep working toward it after the first excitement fades. It belongs to Capricorn and Saturn, who reward the long, steady effort.

Working with it

Write your goal at the top of a page and the next three concrete steps beneath it. Set a black or dark green candle on a stone and burn it for a few minutes each Saturday, crossing off steps as you finish them. Re-light it only when you've done the work.
