Sagittarius 20: Men cutting through ice
Speed and efficiency...

All 20th degree symbols address an extraordinary quickening, acceleration of development. Truly a remarkable set of symbols, the 20th degree tends to be characterizes by ease, genuis, creative flow. things happen in surprising ways... outside the realm of practical expectation.

"Men cutting through ice" is often thought of in terms of thought for the future: cutting ice for refrigeration needs for the hot summer season ahead. But there is another sense of 'cutting' that works here as well. Think of skate blades cutting the ice on a skating rink, or blades on a sleigh cutting through snow and ice. Frozen lakes can be sailed in boats fitted with blade runners. All produce a strong sense of speed and efficiency.

The idea is to cut through what might be perceived as a hard and cold obstacle. An easy way to approach this is by imaging a situation where one cuts through the social ice. Everyone has been at a gathering or had a one on one meeting that began as a cold and chilly affair. In Sagittarius 20, there is resource to cut through that chilliness.
