No, it is not wise to continue the Good Goy strategy of only focusing on material pursuits, which 99.9% of the world still does this, yet gets their lives destroyed by either Jews, astrology, or karmic forces. To avoid this, we must incorporate the spiritual, which is actually the natural way to exist.
Yes, starting on Saturn, if you can do so before the VoC, would increase the astrological power of a discipline working. Your affirmation is fine, although I would chose 6 or 10 for the affirmation, as these pertain more to earthly affairs.
40 vibrations is small, but this was chosen so that you could complete it without feeling bored. I wouldn't say 40 is "more" than something like 100 in this case, but if it is more achievable, then it is better to stick with this.
Nauthiz is the energy of discipline, which means to regulate something, like our energy or mood, to complete a task regardless of what is in our path. Imagine a soldier who does not give up, despite taking incoming fire. They are disciplined.
I could ask you "Why don't you do your meditations, despite knowing of all the positive benefits?" You simply tell me that you don't feel like it, which is understandable. That means it is a regulation failure. The same happens with school children around the world, who don't want to do homework or chores.
The energy of Nauthiz is like the blocks of a building. They know they must maintain form, or the building will collapse. The same will happen with your working: You will feel like it is easier to do your meditations without tiring or feeling bored. It will seem like the barrier to do the activity is lowered, because your body can more easily adopt the "form" of an advancing Satanist.
This is how Nauthiz/Saturn applies to survival situations, because if someone threatened to kill you, you would run like the wind. Yet, if nobody was there to do that, then you would not run. Without Saturn, we must rely on external discipline, such as due dates, managers, coaches, drill instructors, etc, who threaten pain if someone is not completed.
So you can imagine Nauthiz like a black energy of structure which adds to your own earth energy. Instead of doing only 20 minutes of meditation and feeling bored, you can now do 40, and so on. Imagine the structures growing within your soul which help you "maintain shape" despite feeling tired or any other obstacle. That is what the earth element represents.
Then, you will have feelings like "meditation is not so bad" and "I can do it because it is important for me". You can also see a calendar in your head, with your spiritual activity growing as the days go on. Perhaps it would be helpful to see negative thoughts or feelings getting banished, as your mind can more easily self-discipline itself.
Does this make sense?
The reason why I say you should do this is because it is the bedrock for all other practices or workings. You first need to be consistent, which the working will do for you. And since it does this, then you will be able to finish 40, 80, or even 120 days of this working.
