Capricorn 21: A relay race

Parallel lines that never meet...

All 21st degree symbols deal with a core theme: 'line'.

In a relay race, there are lanes demarcated for contestants to race within. Inside a single lane, team mates must negotiate a hand-off of some kind, such as passing the baton. 

Symbolically, 'passing the baton' suggests passing an instrument of power and control to someone else. Hence we expect to find individuals in Capricorn 21 that work with others and await their own turn at carrying the baton.

Another theme in the relay race concerns parallel tracks that never intersect. Imagine a relationship that never really takes hold because it seems as if at no point do the two people in question ever intersect. 

Or, imagine living parallel lives but never meeting. There is often a sense of sadness and disappointment when this is experienced. But there is also a strong suggestion that reason deeper than ordinary human understanding keeps two paths from crossing.
