r chief city. there is, consequently, no possibility of any of these four powers being able to evade relationships. italy is more closely related to great britain than she is to france, because rome is ruled by taurus and by leo which ties her to great britain through identity of vibration. this france will have to recognise as well as italy and great britain. the personality of italy is ruled by sagittarius, the sign of the one-pointed disciple, and it is owing to this that we have the undeviating aim of the italian state and its refusal to be moved- 46- the destiny of the nations copyright 1998 lucis trust from certain attitudes and determinations. italy sees more clearly than germany the principles involved at this time, and though rome is blinded at times by the taurian influence which

nd though rome is blinded at times by the taurian influence which leads to a blind rushing forward towards a goal, irrespective of consequences and implications, yet essentially the inner straight line of foreseen and planned activity will hold italy true to the objective. the following conditioning forces make the story of italy sufficiently clear: italy 1. leo with its ruler, the sun> nation 2. sagittarius with its rulers, jupiter, the earth and mars. 3. taurus- with its rulers, venus and vulcan> capital. 4. leo with its ruler, the sun. 5. soul ray ideals, devotion. 6th. 6. personality harmony through conflict. 4th. 7. ray influences of an indirect nature, coming through the planetary rulers: a. ray 2. love-wisdom, via the sun and jupiter. this again relates italy to the second ray soul

enabling it to come forth in full maturity. this vast land is ruled by gemini, linking it therefore closely with great britain and also by aquarius as the ruler of its soul ray. this combination of a sixth ray personality, ruled by gemini, and a second ray soul (as has great britain, ruled by aquarius, is potent for future power and usefulness. the capital city, washington, is ruled by cancer and sagittarius, and it is this fact which leads the united states to act like the crab (cancer) and be pre-occupied with its own house which it carries on its back and to vanish into hiding at the first signs of trouble. because also the sagittarian influence is strong, there is a potent determination to stick one-pointedly to any decision made. this its sixth ray personality enforces at times almost

human expression. you will note that none of its zodiacal rulers link it with france, except indirectly through cancer, which is the polar opposite of capricorn, one of the rulers of paris. it is for this reason that such a small percentage, relatively speaking, of french people migrate to the states; there is a closer link with italy than with france, and hence the large italian population, for sagittarius rules both italy and washington. the influences are, therefore, as follows: 1. aquarius with its rulers, uranus, jupiter and the moon> nation. 2. gemini with its rulers, mercury, venus and the earth. 3. cancer with its rulers, the moon and neptune> capital- 48- the destiny of the nations copyright 1998 lucis trust 4. sagittarius with its rulers, jupiter, the earth and mars. 5. the soul

and though he may be, for instance, friendly and kind, it is through a desire for popularity. this is a good expression of the individual sagittarian subject and shows also the tendency of the soul to turn all evil eventually into good. the lessons of life are being learned and experiment is going on. 3. virgo in virgo, the man who was fluid in pisces and emotionally selfish and full of desire in sagittarius, begins to focus still more intently and to reason and think. the latent soul is becoming interiorly active; a germination process is proceeding; the hidden man is making his presence felt. the intellect is awakening and instinct after passing through the emotional stage is being transmuted into intellect. 4. gemini in the undeveloped man or the average man, the experiences undergone o

nough, and what had been happening to the people in the neighborhood, happened to abderis; they killed him. this is an instance of the working of the great law that we pay the price in our own natures of wrongly spoken words and ill-judged actions. again the soul, in the person of hercules, had to deal with the problem of wrong thought, and only, when he becomes a one-pointed aspirant in the sign sagittarius and in that sign kills the man-eating birds, does he really attain complete control of the thought processes of his nature. the practical significance of the power of thought has been well expressed for us in the words of thackeray "sow a thought, and reap an action. sow an action, and reap a habit. sow a habit, and reap character. sow character and reap destiny" the two keywords of th

eans "the breaking forth of light" again and again, as we circle around the zodiac, shall we find appearing what might be called "the spiritual prototype" of hercules; perseus, the coming prince, who slew the medusa, symbol of the great illusion. he is found in aries; orion, whose name means "light, is found in taurus; in scorpio, hercules himself, triumphant and victorious, appears. then we have sagittarius, the archer on the horse, going straight for his goal, and in pisces we find the king. the more closely we study this heavenly picture book, the more we realize that ever before us is held the symbol of our divinity, the symbol of the soul in incarnation, and the story of matter, as it receives purification and glorification through the laborious work of the soul. the second constellat

the vast cloud of birds fled in frantic haste, never to return. silence spread across the marsh. the horrid birds had disappeared. the soft gleam of a westering sun was seen as it flickered on the darkening landscape. when hercules returned, the teacher greeted him "the birds of slaughter have been driven off. the labor is achieved" f.m. interpretation of the labor (edited lecture by a.a.b, 1937) sagittarius is to my mind most interesting because it has such a peculiar application to each one of us answering to the name "aspirant [157] there are two words i want to see ruled out of the vocabulary of the occultist "initiate" and "master "initiate" is delightfully separative, it is a pedestal word "master" has bred in the consciousness of people the feeling that there exist superhuman men wh

re technical word, use disciple; it is a hiding word, because an aspirant of the lowest degree is a disciple. the christ himself is also a disciple. it does away with grades and classes and degrees and varied stages of evolution. where we stand on the ladder of evolution is our own private affair. the world will know what we are, when we have done the work that is outlined for us in this labor of sagittarius. we have already dealt with the stupendous sign scorpio, in which hercules demonstrated to himself the fact that he could no longer be taken in by the serpent of illusion. he was free from fear and glamor, from all that could beguile him. the- 90- the labours of hercules vision could be seen. because sagittarius is such a tremendously important sign i want to give you a brief resum of

of hercules vision could be seen. because sagittarius is such a tremendously important sign i want to give you a brief resum of what has happened up to he present time; it covers what lies behind us. i am assuming that each one of us is the one-pointed aspirant, the archer on the horse, going straight as an arrow to his goal. it is interesting that the united states' standard shows the arrows of sagittarius in the talons of an eagle, because aquila is interchangeable astrologically with sagittarius and is the symbol of the spirit manifesting through the soul, which the aspirant on the physical plane is one-pointedly seeking. there is prophecy in the united states standard, of the goal of this race when it is grown up, for it is within this race that there will emerge that group of aspiran

ited states. let us narrow the story down to hercules, the aspirant, and what he has done in each sign. in aries, hercules began on the plane of the mind in his endeavor to capture the man-eating mares, and met with failure because he dealt with them in a personality way. he dealt with thought from the standpoint of personality; he did not work with his problem from the standpoint of the soul. in sagittarius he slaughtered the maneating birds. he was back again to the same problem on the plane of the mind where he demonstrated complete control of that which is the first thing the aspirant to initiation has to do. we control our thoughts and consequently control our words. there is no initiation for us until we do. in aries he began to control thought. in taurus he worked down to the astral

ther the soul nor the body. libra is the balancing on the physical plane of the pairs of opposites. he has balanced them so much that he does not feel that he is getting anywhere. in scorpio, on the astral plane, he takes up again the work begun in taurus, completes it and clears away the great mire, the great illusion and stands free with the goal clear in front of him. gemini is the opposite of sagittarius; gemini duality; sagittarius unity, the onepointed going forward, the unified personality, conscious of the soul, determined to enter the sign capricorn where the great transition is made out of the fourth into the fifth or spiritual kingdom. sagittarius is the archer on the white horse, sometimes pictured as the centaur with the bow and arrows. in these two modes of picturing- the cen

he fifth or spiritual kingdom. sagittarius is the archer on the white horse, sometimes pictured as the centaur with the bow and arrows. in these two modes of picturing- the centaur half human and half animal, the archer on the white horse, half human and half divine- you have the whole story. a white horse is always the symbol of divinity. christ came forth riding on a white horse. there you have sagittarius in the book of revelation. it is a [160] double sign, and whenever you have a double sign you have a problem. in sagittarius, just as in scorpio hercules took up and completed the work started in taurus, he took up and completed the work started in aries. in aries he was dealing with thought at its source. in this sign he demonstrates complete control of thought and speech. sagittarius

ust as in scorpio hercules took up and completed the work started in taurus, he took up and completed the work started in aries. in aries he was dealing with thought at its source. in this sign he demonstrates complete control of thought and speech. sagittarius has sometimes been called "the sign of the effect of scorpio. the moment we have freed ourselves from illusion, that moment we enter into sagittarius and we see the goal. we have never really seen it before, because between us and the goal there is always to be found that cloud of thought forms that prevents us from seeing it. we talk about spiritual love, devotion to the christ, devotion to the elder brothers of the race, to the soul; and as we are occupied with these thoughts we build clouds of thought forms because we are thinkin

race, to the soul; and as we are occupied with these thoughts we build clouds of thought forms because we are thinking, and as we think we build. therefore we have built around ourselves such a cloud of thought forms about our aspirations, that we do not see the goal. i am not cutting away the ground under your feet, but stop thinking so much about what to do and learn more simply "to be" silence sagittarius is the sign preparatory to capricorn and it is called in some ancient books "the sign of silence. in ancient mysteries the newly admitted brother had to sit in silence, he was not allowed to walk or speak; he had to be, to work and to watch- 92- the labours of hercules because one cannot enter the fifth kingdom in nature, the spiritual kingdom, or climb the mountain of capricorn, until

that i should not say. i am not going to have for my motive my own liberation. a caution: don't be good, don't be harmless, don't serve merely in order to get away from it all, which is what a lot of people do. stay with humanity as christ does, or like that great life whom we are told will stay in his appointed place until the last pilgrim has found his way home. two gates, three constellations sagittarius is the little gate to capricorn. there are two cosmic gates: cancer, the gate into incarnation; capricorn, the gate into the spiritual kingdom. prior to capricorn is sagittarius, spoken of as "a lesser gate. i like to think of it as the little gate at the foot of the hill through which we pass before climbing the mountain and in passing through that little gate, we demonstrate our abil

as can be seen from the foregoing descriptions, each planet has picked up a host of associations through the centuries. each one has also been assigned rulership of different astrological signs with which it has a particular affinity. the rulerships are as follows: mars and aries; venus and taurus; mercury and gemini; moon and cancer; sun and leo; mercury and virgo; pluto and scorpio; jupiter and sagittarius; saturn and capricorn; uranus and aquarius; neptune and pisces. planets project certain qualities as they assume geometric relationships to other planets in the birth chart. the major geometric aspects of the planets are thus distinguished: conjunction. when two planets are in the same degree and minute of a sign, which may be of good or unfortunate import, depending on the nature of t

rer, archer) are called humane. a person born under a fiery, masculine, diurnal sign is hot in temper and bold in character. if it is a quadrupedal sign, the native is somewhat like the animal after which the sign is called. thus in taurus, the native is bold and furious; in leo, fierce and aggressive. cancer, scorpio and pisces are called fruitful or prolific; and gemini, leo, and virgo, barren. sagittarius, because usually represented as a centaur, is said to produce humane character if located in the first 15 degrees (first half) of the sign, but a savage, brutal, and intractable disposition if found in the last 15 degrees. astrologers designate the 12 signs as follows: aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is a cardinal fire sign. it is a positive, masculine sign, ruled by the planet ma

io is a cold, nocturnal sign. the native has a strong, robust, corpulent body, is of average stature, and has a broad visage, dark but not clear complexion, dark gray or light brown eyes, black or very dark brown hair, short, thick legs, and a thick neck. scorpio governs swampy grounds and stagnant waters, orchards and ruinous houses, especially near water. the key phrase for scorpio is i desire. sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac, is a mutable fire sign. it is a positive, masculine sign, ruled by the planet jupiter. its symbol is the centaur (sometimes, alternately, the archer) and its glyph is an arrow, which refers to the arrow in the bow that the centaur is holding. it takes its name from the latin word sagitta, arrow. sagittarius is associated with the hips, the thighs, and the

sage somewhat long but ruddy and handsome. the body is strong, stout, and hardy. the native is inclined to horsemanship and field sports, careless of danger, generous and intrepid, but hasty and careless. sagittarius rules the hips and is the cause of gout, rheumatism, and disorders that affect the muscles. accidents and disorders occasioned by intemperance come under the government of this sign. sagittarius is associated with stables and parks. the key phrase for sagittarius is i see. capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac, is a cardinal earth sign. it is a negative, feminine sign, ruled by the planet saturn. its symbol is a goat with a fishtail, and its glyph is said to reflect this symbol. it takes its name from the latin capricornus, goat horn. capricorn is associated with the bones a

ock fingerprints of the gods 232 chapter 29 the first crack in an ancient code the plane of the earth s orbit, projected outwards to form a great circle in the celestial sphere, is known as the ecliptic. ringed around the ecliptic, in a starry belt that extends approximately 7 north and south, are the twelve constellations of the zodiac: aries, taurus, gemini, cancer, leo, virgo, libra, scorpius, sagittarius, capricornus, aquarius and pisces. these constellations are irregular in size, shape and distribution. nevertheless (and one assumes by chance) their spacing around the rim of the ecliptic is sufficiently even to bestow a sense of cosmic order upon the diurnal risings and settings of the sun. to picture what is involved here, do the following (1) mark a dot in the centre of a blank she

nt "the sun, as he pursued his way among these 'living creatures' of the zodiac, was said, in allegorical language, either to assume the nature of or to triumph over the sign he entered. the sun thus became a bull in taurus, and was worshipped as such by the egyptians under the name of apis, and by the assyrians as bel, baal, or bul. in leo the sun became a lion-slayer, hercules, and an archer in sagittarius. in pisces, the fishes, he was a fish--dagon, or vishnu, the fish-god of the philistines and hindoos" a careful analysis of the religious systems of pagandom uncovers much evidence of the fact that its priests served the solar energy and that their supreme deity was in every case this divine light personified. godfrey higgins, after thirty years of inquiry into the origin of religious

symbols of gemini have passed through many modifications. the one used by the arabians was the peacock. two of the important stars in the constellation of gemini still bear the names of castor and pollux. the sign of gemini is supposed to have been the patron of phallic worship, and the two obelisks, or pillars, in front of temples and churches convey the same symbolism as the twins. the sign of sagittarius consists of what the ancient greeks called a centaur--a composite creature, the lower half of whose body was in the form of a horse, while the upper half was human. the centaur is generally shown with a bow and arrow in his hands, aiming a shaft far off into the stars. hence sagittarius stands for two distinct principles: first, it represents the spiritual evolution of man, for the hum

, leo; and g, scorpio. these are called the fathers. in the secret teachings of the far east these four figures--the man, the bull, the lion, and the eagle--are called the winged globes or the four maharajahs who stand upon the corners of creation. the four cardinal signs--p, capricorn; x, aries; b, cancer; f, libra--are called the powers. the four common signs--v, pisces; a, gemini; e, virgo; h, sagittarius- are called the minds of the four lords. this explains the meaning of the winged globes of egypt, for the four central figures--aquarius, taurus, leo, and scorpio (called by ezekiel the cherubim--are the globes; the cardinal and common signs on either side are the wings. therefore the twelve signs of the zodiac may be symbolized by four globes, each with two wings. the celestial triads

ors, with just twice as many vibrations, will commence and progress on precisely the same law" when the colors are related to the twelve signs of the zodiac, they are arranged as the spokes of a wheel. to aries is assigned pure red; to taurus, red-orange; to gemini, pure orange; to cancer, orange-yellow; to leo, pure yellow; to virgo, yellow-green; to libra, pure green; to scorpio, green-blue; to sagittarius, pure blue; to capricorn, blue-violet; to aquarius, pure violet; and to pisces, violet-red. in expounding the eastern system of esoteric philosophy, h. p, blavatsky relates the colors to the septenary constitution of man and the seven states of matter as follows: color principles of man states of matter violet chaya, or etheric double ether indigo higher manas, or spiritual intelligenc

the mysteries all signify the composite nature of man and subtly refer to the hierarchies of celestial beings that have charge of the destiny of mankind. these hierarchies are the twelve holy animals now known as constellations--star groups which are merely symbols of impersonal spiritual impulses. chiron, the centaur, teaching the sons of men, symbolizes the intelligences of the constellation of sagittarius, who were the custodians of the secret doctrine while (geocentrically) the sun was passing through the sign of gemini. the five-footed assyrian man-bull with the wings of an eagle and the head of a man is a reminder that the invisible nature of man has the wings of a god, the head of a man, and the body of a beast. the same concept was expressed through the sphinx--that armed guardian

to an earthly body; and its number of degradations or deaths being the same as that of the spheres which it traverses. the galaxy, macrobius says, crosses the zodiac in two opposite points, cancer and capricorn, the tropical points in the sun's course, ordinarily called the gates of the sun. these two tropics, before his time, corresponded with those constellations, but in his day with gemini and sagittarius, in consequence of the precession of the equinoxes; but the _signs_ of the zodiac remained unchanged; and the milky way crossed at the _signs_ cancer and capricorn, though not at those _constellations. through these _gates_ souls were supposed to descend to earth and re-ascend to heaven. one, macrobius says, in his dream of scipio, was styled the gate of men; and the other, the gate of

es, and aspects there, and her relations with the sun and the constellations, have been a fruitful source of mythological fables. all the planets had what astrology termed their _houses, in the zodiac. the house of the sun was in leo, and that of the moon in cancer. each other planet had two signs; mercury had gemini and virgo; venus, taurus and libra; mars, aries and scorpio; jupiter, pisces and sagittarius; and saturn, aquarius and capricornus. from this distribution of the signs also came many mythological emblems and fables; as also many came from the places of exaltation of the planets. diana of ephesus, the moon wore the image of a crab on her bosom, because in that sign was the moon's domicile; and lions bore up the throne of horus, the egyptian apollo, the sun personified, for a li
