confounded with the planetary rays or with the fact that some of the planets are considered as "sacred planets" and some are not. i am here using the words "planetary influence" in the same sense as the astrologer uses them, for he is not dealing, either, with the basic planetary rays. it might be stated therefore that the planetary relations in this cycle are as follows: 1. the mineral kingdom. pluto and vulcan. 2. the vegetable kingdom .v enus and jupiter. 3. the animal kingdom. the moon and mars. 4. the human kingdom. mercury and saturn. 5. the kingdom of souls. neptune and uranus. 6. synthesising these five. the sun. there are other planetary influences to be felt, and hidden forces likewise play upon our planetary life, but these are the major influences bringing about the desired re

xoteric ruler of pisces. what is needed in the national life of france is the more spiritual expression of the second ray of love-wisdom, which has in the past led to material success but which can flood the world, via france, once she dies to self. capricorn, ruling paris, signifies both death and initiation into the spiritual life, and here lies the choice for france. with the cooperation which pluto can give in bringing about those conditions which will lead to the revelation of virgo (ruling the soul of paris) there is possible in connection with this powerful and influential country a contribution to the life of humanity which will be effective in bringing about the new desired conditions in europe, but france's demand for her personal security must give place to the security of the w

berment of other countries in the interests of france will have to end, if the true soul of france is to find expression. therefore, the following signs (cosmic energy) and planets transmitting solar and cosmic energies, are the conditioning factors of france in incarnation at the present time- 39- the destiny of the nations copyright 1998 lucis trust france 1. pisces with its rulers: jupiter and pluto> the nation 2. leo with its ruler: the sun. 3. virgo with its rulers: mercury, moon, jupiter> paris. 4. capricorn with its rulers: saturn and venus. 5. ray influences of an indirect nature, coming via the planetary rulers: a. ray 2. love-wisdom, via jupiter and the sun. these are the most powerful. b. ray 1. power or will, via pluto. this is also the destroyer ray and can bring the death of

o the life and mind of the planetary logos, has dealt only with the second division and that in its lowest aspect. two other points might here be touched upon, and for their understanding you will have to accept my statements as temporary hypotheses at least, for you are in no position to know them as truth for yourselves. exoteric astrology has said and it is widely accepted that vulcan, uranus, pluto and neptune do not govern signs but only have affinity with them. i am touching upon this here because we are going to consider the planet pluto in relation to pisces. this affinity has only stated a partial truth and is only temporarily true from the standpoint of the modern astrologer. their existence has only been inferred or discovered within the last two or three centuries though it has

trology of the future will accept my statement and work with these planets. much earlier in human history, they had to accept the fact of mars and mercury as rulers of zodiacal signs in a hypothetical manner, and then start to prove the accuracy of the hypothesis. ancient astrology was obviously incomplete but until man became patently responsive to the influences which come to him from uranus or pluto, for instance, which affect the soul life far more than they do the personality life, they remained undiscovered except by trained esotericists. today, humanity is rapidly responding to the higher spiritual influences and, therefore, we can look for the discovery of increasingly subtle forces. pisces, the fishes this sign is also dual. in aries we have the duality which is attached to the br

e reverse cancer with pisces rising. as regards the rays which express themselves through the planetary rulers and which absorb or collaborate with the influences of the sign pisces and thus influence our planet and humanity, we find a most interesting situation. two major rays express themselves through the rulers of pisces, orthodox and esoteric: the first ray of will or power, focussed through pluto, and the second ray of love-wisdom. it is the interplay of these dual potencies which: 1. produces the duality of this sign. 2. brings about the major problem of pisces psychic sensitivity. 3. causes the lure of the path, in the first instance the path of evolution and later the lure of the probationary path with the consequence that transference to the fixed cross (which is all that we can

g them into synthetic interplay. eventually there has to be the complete fusion of love and mind before a world saviour can manifest and function efficiently, and this is pre-eminently the final result of the forces of the mutable cross, as they work out the qualities released by the planets active in pisces, sagittarius, virgo and gemini. these planets are: orthodox jupiter and mercury. esoteric pluto. the earth. the moon (hiding vulcan) and venus. as you know, pluto stands for death or the region of death; the earth stands for the sphere of experience; the moon or vulcan stands for the glorification, through purification and detachment, of matter, and venus stands for the emergence of the love principle through the directing power of the mind. students will find it interesting to work ou

r of mind, transmuted into wisdom through the instrumentality of love. 2. through the moon under the bondage of form in order through form experience to achieve release and the "uplift of matter" in vulcan. 3. through the earth under the influence of planetary experience (which is different to individual experience) in order to transmute his personal consciousness into group awareness. 4. through pluto under the destroying power of death death of desire, death of the personality and of all which holds him between the pairs of opposites, in order to achieve the final liberation. pluto or death never destroys the consciousness aspect- 77- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust six planets, therefore, govern the mutable cross as far as humanity

e remembered. the fishes in pisces are bound together, as we have seen, and this is a symbol of the captivity of the soul in form, prior to the experience upon the fixed cross. the twins in gemini are symbols of the same basic duality, but the experience of the many changing incarnations has done its work, and the band (uniting the two fishes) is in process of dissolution, for part of the work of pluto is to "cut the thread which binds the two opposing lives together" it is the task of venus to "reunite the severed lives but with no binding thread" therefore, venus is exalted in pisces and at the end of the greater cycle, the sons of god who are the sons of mind are raised up into glory through experience and crucifixion because they have learned to love and truly reason. the influence of

understanding of a subject upon which very little has been written- the nature of the forces of intelligent and organised evil. the great faiths of the ancient world all had their evil gods as well as their beneficent deities, and they did not call these evil gods devils. in hinduism we have shiva and kali; in the egyptian system we have set and besz and typhon; in the grecian pantheon there are pluto and hecate. all the other faiths, also, have their angelic choirs, their archons, or builders, and all the hierarchy of heaven. protestant christianity alone has forgotten its angiology, the creator has to be both architect of the universe and bricklayer, forming man from the dust of the ground without assistance. if we refer to paradise lost, however, we shall find that milton was familiar

the advancing tide of evolution, removing that which has become effete so that it may not choke and clog evolving life. we now find the answer to the eternal riddle as to why god tolerates the devil. the devil is the cosmic thrust-block and scavenger of the gods. it is this aspect of evil which is given a more detailed symbolism in the pantheons of other faiths, having its shiva and kali, or its pluto and hecate aspects. we can now see why these resistive and destructive forces are classed as gods and not as demons, for they are reactions according to cosmic law, not anarchical and chaotic forces. we now come to the consideration of positive evil. this again has a "negative's and "positive's aspect. its "negative's aspect is pure chaos, unformed substance and unco-ordinated force. it has

uestionable aspect of the uranian system was the introduction of hypothetical planets to the chart. prior to the advent of space travel and the development of various means of verifying the existence of otherwise unknown planets, the existence of different as yet undiscovered planets was proposed. such speculation was encouraged by the discovery of uranus and neptune and heralded the discovery of pluto (1930) and chiron (1977, a comet originally believed to be a planet. uranian astrology was unique in suggesting the existence of no less than eight hypothetical planets that were given the names cupido, hades, zeus, kronos, apollon, admetos, vulcanos, and poseidon. each of these planets was assigned its particular role in the chart. uranian astrology enjoyed its greatest success in germanspe

ed result in soros-apis or sor-apis "the tomb of the bull" but it is improbable that the egyptians would worship a coffin in the form of a man. several ancient authors, including macrobius, have affirmed that serapis was a name for the sun, because his image so often had a halo of light about its head. in his oration upon the sovereign sun, julian speaks of the deity in these words "one jove, one pluto, one sun is serapis" in hebrew, serapis is saraph, meaning "to blaze out" or "to blaze up" for this reason the jews designated one of their hierarchies of spiritual beings, seraphim. the most common theory, however, regarding the origin of the name serapis is that which traces its derivation from the compound osiris-apis. at one time the egyptians believed that the dead were absorbed into th

that the statue had come to life and, walking down the street leading from its temple, had boarded the ship prepared for its transportation to alexandria. upon its arrival in egypt, the figure was brought into the presence of two egyptian initiates--the eumolpid timotheus and manetho the sebennite--who, immediately pronounced it to be serapis. the priests then declared that it was equipollent to pluto. this was a masterly stroke, for in serapis the greeks and egyptians found a deity in common and thus religious unity was consummated between the two nations. several figures of serapis that stood in his various temples in egypt and rome have been described by early authors. nearly all these showed grecian rather than egyptian influence. in some the body of the god was encircled by the coils

and balancing with his right hand a curious emblem consisting of an animal with the heads. the first head--that of a lion--signified the present; the second head--that of a wolf--the past; and the third head--that of a dog--the future. the body with its three heads was enveloped by the twisted coils of a serpent. figures of serapis are occasionally accompanied by cerberus, the three-headed dog of pluto, and--like jupiter--carry baskets of grain upon their heads. p. 28 the christian era. in a.d. 385, theodosius, that would-be exterminator of pagan philosophy, issued his memorable edict de idolo serapidis diruendo. when the christian soldiers, in obedience to this order, entered the serapeum at alexandria to destroy the image of serapis which had stood there for centuries, so great was their

and bacchic mysteries, thomas taylor sums up their purpose as follows "the lesser mysteries were designed by the ancient theologists, their founders, to signify occultly the condition of the unpurified soul invested with an earthy body, and enveloped in a material and physical nature" the legend used in the lesser rites is that of the abduction of the goddess persephone, the daughter of ceres, by pluto, the lord of the underworld, or hades. while persephone is picking flowers in a beautiful meadow, the earth suddenly opens and the gloomy lord of death, riding in a magnificent chariot, emerges from its somber depths and, grasping her in his arms, carries the screaming and struggling goddess to his subterranean palace, where he forces her to become his queen. it is doubtful whether many of t

these mysteries, but in a somewhat unusual manner. it was believed that at midnight the invisible worlds were closest to the terrestrial sphere and that souls coming into material existence slipped in during the midnight hour. for this reason many of the eleusinian click to enlarge the rape of persephone. from thomassin's recucil des figures, groupes, themes, fontaines, vases et autres ornements. pluto, the lord of the underworld, represents the body intelligence of man; and the rape of persephone is symbolic of the divine nature assaulted and defiled by the animal soul and dragged downward into the somber darkness of hades, which is here used as a synonym for the material, or objective, sphere of consciousness. in his disquisitions upon the painted greek vases, james christie presents meu

sed to do, because persephone had eaten of the pomegranate, the fruit of mortality. at last, however, he compromised and agreed to permit persephone to live in the upper world half of the year if she would stay with him in the darkness of hades for the remaining half. the greeks believed that persephone was a manifestation of the solar energy, which in the winter months lived under the earth with pluto, but in the summer returned again with the goddess of productiveness. there is a legend that the flowers loved persephone and that every year when she left for the dark realms of pluto, the plants and shrubs would die of grief. while the profane and uninitiated had their own opinions on these subjects, the truths of the greek allegories remained safely concealed by the priests, who alone rec

the secret exercises for spiritual unfoldment given to disciples of the higher degrees are unknown, but there is every reason to believe that they were similar to the brahmanic mysteries, since it is known that the eleusinian ceremonies were closed with the sanskrit words "konx om pax" that part of the allegory referring to the two six-month periods during one of which persephone must remain with pluto, while during the other she may revisit the upper world, offers material for deep consideration. it is probable that the eleusinians realized that the soul left the body during steep, or at least was made capable of leaving by the special training which undoubtedly they were in a position to give. thus persephone would remain as the queen of pluto's realm during the waking hours, but would a

is probable that the eleusinians realized that the soul left the body during steep, or at least was made capable of leaving by the special training which undoubtedly they were in a position to give. thus persephone would remain as the queen of pluto's realm during the waking hours, but would ascend to the spiritual worlds during the periods of sleep. the initiate was taught how to intercede with pluto to permit persephone (the initiate's soul) to ascend from the darkness of his material nature into the light of understanding. when thus freed from the shackles of clay and crystallized concepts, the initiate was liberated not only for the period of his life but for all eternity, for never thereafter was he divested of those soul qualities which after death were his vehicles for manifestatio

of medicine and music. the romance of orpheus and eurydice is one of the tragic episodes of greek mythology and apparently constitutes the outstanding feature p. 32 of the orphic rite. eurydice, in her attempt to escape from a villain seeking to seduce her, died from the venom of a poisonous serpent which stung her in the heel. orpheus, penetrating to the very heart of the underworld, so charmed pluto and persephone with the beauty of his music that they agreed to permit eurydice to return to life if orpheus could lead her back to the sphere of the living without once looking round to see if she were following. so great was his fear, however, that she would stray from him that he turned his head, and eurydice with a heartbroken cry was swept back into the land of death. orpheus wandered t

origin of the story that a sprig of acacia marks the grave of chiram. the mystery of the evergreen marking the grave of the dead sun god is also perpetuated in the christmas tree. the apricot and quince are familiar yonic symbols, while the bunch of grapes and the fig are phallic. the pomegranate is the mystic fruit of the eleusinian rites; by eating it, prosperine bound herself to the realms of pluto. the fruit here signifies the sensuous life which, once tasted, temporarily deprives man of immortality. also on account of its vast number of seeds the pomegranate was often employed to represent natural fecundity. for the same reason, jacob bryant in his ancient mythology notes that the ancients recognized in this fruit an appropriate emblem of the ark of the deluge, click to enlarge the s

demeter and her daughter persephone, annually performed with great ceremony and elaboration at the eleusinia, and of which it may be useful to speak briefly. it told how the maiden persephone strayed away from arcadla (heaven) and her mother demeter, to pluck flowers in the meads of enna, and how the soil there opened and caused her to fall through into the lower dark world of hades ruled over by pluto. the despair of her mother at the loss reached zeus, the chief of the gods, with the result that he relieved the position by ordaining that, if the girl had not eaten of the fruit of hades, she should forthwith be restored to her mother for ever, but that if she had so eaten she must abide a third of each year with pluto and return to demeter for the other two thirds. it proved that persepho

rior pleasures of this lower plane, which, as the pomegranate symbolizes, is many seeded with illusions and vanities. until these false tendencies are eradicated, until the desires of the heart are utterly weaned from external delights, there can be no permanent restoration of the soul to its source, but merely the periodic respite and refreshment that death brings when it withdraws the soul from pluto's realm to the heaven-world, to be follo wed again and again b y periodic descents into material limitations and reascents into discarnate conditions, until it becomes finally purged and perfected. by this great myth, therefore, instruction was imparted as to the history of the soul, its destiny and prospects, and the doctrine of reincarnation* was emphasized. how masonry follows this tradit

principles clash and contend; and was finally admitted to a luminous region where the sun, with his most brilliant light, put to rout the shades of night. then he himself put on the costume of the sun-god or the visible source of ethereal light, in whose mysteries he was initiated; and passed from the empire of darkness to that of light. after having set his feet on the threshold of the palace of pluto he ascended to the empyrean, to the bosom of the eternal principle of light of the universe, from which all souls and intelligences emanate. plutarch admits that this theory of two principles was the basis of all the mysteries, and consecrated in the religious ceremonies and mysteries of greece. osiris and typhon, ormuzd and ahriman, bacchus and the titans and giants, all represented these p

every solar revolution. this will be found to be confirmed by an examination of some of the symbols used in the mysteries. one of the most famous of these was the serpent, the peculiar symbol also of this degree. the cosmogony of the hebrews and that of the gnostics designated this reptile as the author of the fate of souls. it was consecrated in the mysteries of bacchus and in those of eleusis. pluto overcame the virtue of proserpine under the form of a serpent; and, like the egyptian god serapis, was always pictured seated on a serpent, or with that reptile entwined about him. it is found on the mithriac monuments, and supplied with attributes of typhon to the egyptians, the sacred basilisc, in coil, with head and neck erect, was the royal ensign of the pharaohs. two of them were entwin

typhon, his eternal enemy. the hebrews, at least after their return from the persian captivity, had their good deity, and the devil, a bad and malicious spirit, ever opposing god, and chief of the angels of darkness, as god was of those of light. the word "satan" means, in hebrew, simply "the adversary" the chaldeans, plutarch says, had their good and evil stars. the greeks had their jupiter and pluto, and their giants and titans, to whom were assigned the attributes of the serpent with which pluto or serapis was encircled, and the shape whereof was assumed by typhon, ahriman, and the satan of the hebrews. every people had something equivalent to this. the people of pegu believe in two principles, one author of good and the other of evil, and strive to propitiate the latter, while they th

each node rules only one sign: the relationship between the variants and the three outer planets of modern astrology can be observed from the signs they rule. the variant form that rules capricorn and aquarius is the true occult symbol for uranus. the variant form that rules sagittarius and pisces is the true symbol for neptune. the variant form that rules scorpio and aries is the true symbol of pluto. the remaining two mer- cury-variants must await other planets to be discovered beyond the orbit of pluto. notice that each variant contains in the same order the two simple symbols of the traditional planet with which it shares signs, plus the missing third symbol added at the bottom to act as its base. no new base can be added to mercury because it already has three symbols, so the upper t

sts and people. an important modification of the cult of isis and osiris took place in the third century before christ, when the ptolemies began to consolidate their rule in egypt. a form of religion which would be acceptable both to egyptians and greeks had to be provided, and this was produced by modifying the characteristics of osiris and calling him sarapis, and identifying him with the greek pluto. to isis were added many of the attributes of the great greek goddesses, and into her worship were introduced "mysteries" derived from non-egyptian cults, which made it acceptable to the people everywhere. had a high priest of osiris who lived at abydos under the xviiith dynasty witnessed the celebration of the great festival of isis and osiris in any large town in the first century before c

is. in memory of all she had done and suffered, she established certain rites and mysteries which were to be types and images of her deeds, and intended these to incite people to piety, and, to afford them consolation. isis and osiris were translated from good daemons into gods, and the honours due to them are rightly of a mixed kind, being those due to gods and daemons. osiris is none other than pluto, and isis is not different from proserpine [sec. xxx. typhon is held by the egyptians in the greatest contempt, and they do all they can to vilify him. the colour red being associated with him, they treat with contumely all those who have a ruddy complexion; the ass[fn#324] being usually of a reddish colour, the men of koptos are in the habit of sacrificing asses by casting them down precipi
