crimsoncurrentAquarius 12: People on stairs graduated upwards
"Going up!"...
One way to think about Aquarius 12, is to imagine an elevator.. a slow lift.
Aquarius 11 suggests a sudden moment of discovery or intuition.
Aquarius 12 suggests, especially in social arenas, the upward climb proceeds at a different pace.
The emphasis on social hierarchy is further characterized by highs and lows. It is as if one starts out with a long climb upwards, perhaps being barred from access to exclusive arenas, then the experienced intensity of social standing, social stature, gradually lessens.
By extension, the dynamic is not so much one of 'break-through' as a gradual rise. Other 12th degree symbols indicate different dynamics concerning coming into the light, emerging into fresh air, breaking through to a new position... all with varying degrees of suddenness and gradient.

PEOPLE ON A VAST STAIRCASE, GRADUATED UPWARDS
Commentary:
‘People On a Vast Staircase, Graduated Upwards’ is a Symbol of people operating or standing at different levels. As they are ‘Graduated Upwards’ some are higher up whilst some are lower down the ladder, or ‘Staircase’. The ‘People’ pictured here may be looking up at those above, peering down at those below, or just observing their place in the scheme of things. The ‘Staircase’ in the movie “Titanic” is a good example of how this Symbol can operate, with those with wealth and power going off in one direction and those in a lesser position going in another.
Oracle:
You may be seeking to find your place in the scheme of things. Striving for the top is wonderful, and achieving your own successes is admirable, and the climb up will probably bring the rewards you need. Be careful not to concern yourself with thoughts of “who’s in front” or “who’s behind”. It’s probably of no real consequence. Concentrating on your own position and where you want to go will bring happiness and success. No matter what your status, and regardless of what others are doing, be patient and trust that you and yours are heading in the right direction. This Symbol doesn’t always involve outright competition, although it can. It can show the consequence of the layers of the class system, which can be rewarding to some, but alienating to others. Be careful of the “rungs” you are climbing, one that isn’t secure can have you in a risky or compromising situation. Being at the bottom, or even at the top can lead to problems. It’s not useful to consider your present position unimportant. Being expendable is not a good thing. Accept your position as it is now and work towards and look forward to a promotion to both your place and the wisdom that is yet to come.
Keywords:
Observing life from different levels. Social gradations and graduations. Working class to aristocracy. Orders from above, in any sense of the meaning. Waiting for one’s turn at the top. Politics. Big business. Multilevel marketing. Gradual upward climbs. Competitiveness. Stairs and ladders. Taking life step by step. Admiring success. Promotions. Corporate ladders.
The Caution:
Nervous worry about social position. Snobbery because of monetary, intellectual or social status. Can imply class, creed or racial prejudice. Climbing the ladder of success without care for those who are supplanted. Unsafe heights. Falling from grace. Denigrating or undermining others. Snakes and ladders. Rarefied atmospheres.
