Ox × The Beacon-Bearer
Burns for a single conviction, and can burn ten years head-down without letting go.
The Beacon-Bearer burns for one conviction and you, an Ox, can carry that fire ten years with your head down. Waxing Crescent on the rise, Arcturus chasing the light and never once looking back. Where a faster type flares hot and burns out by spring, your load-bearing nerve gives the flame an absurd range. Slow burn, long burn, the flag still up when the wind has knocked everyone else flat.
You hold the thing you chose steadier than anyone in the room. When the others quit, when the cause stops being fashionable, when the early crowd has drifted off to the next bright thing, you are still standing under the same banner doing the same work. That stubbornness, the one people tease you for, is exactly what makes you the last one there.
Here is where it turns on you. Stubbornness stacked on top of devotion keeps you guarding a flag long past the day it meant anything. You wear yourself thin tending a fire that has already gone out, too set in the duty to notice the cause moved on without you. Arcturus chases a light that is actually there. Some seasons the light you are chasing burned down years ago. Once in a while, check that the flag is still worth the hand that holds it.
