| Esoteric Astrology - The Science of Triangles - The Triangles and the Centers |
| The influences of these seven constellations is symbolized by
three triangles and a final synthesis or focal point. Esoterically, these triangles are
usually depicted as superimposed but for the sake of clarity we separate them.
Cancer - Aries - Capricorn - (Cycle one) We have
here three triangles but, at the same time, only seven influences for the effects of the
conditioning forces of the two triangles predominantly active in the first two cycles are
fused and blended in the third. These blended influences (with the aid of the remaining
five constellations, Sagittarius, Libra, Taurus, Pisces and Aquarius) enable the disciple
to escape out of the human kingdom into the kingdom of souls. We have therefore: It is not my intention to analyze these crises. These, the student who is in earnest
and who is observant can work out for himself. I would also point out that I have (again necessarily) only depicted the three
triangles in a certain order with the lower points expressing the energy of certain
constellations. In this form they depict the final outcome and the final results of a
particular group of three crises. It must be remembered that only through much
repetition and frequent focused effort are these results attained. A crisis is brought
about by a certain habit of mind, developed in the vehicle; it is surmounted in time only
by a certain habit and rhythm of the spiritual content of the man's nature. It is the
establishing of a certain objective rhythm which produces a crisis; it is the
emergence of a particular subjective rhythm which enables a man to surmount the
crisis and to capitalize on the opportunity. Please bear this in mind. [476] These seven
crises can also be related to the seven centers in the vital or etheric body, and advanced
students will later find that there is a close cyclic interrelation between: Let me remind students that all the twelve constellations bring about man's
evolutionary development and eventual release from the Great Wheel of living existence.
Seven of these are, however, primarily useful in bringing about the seven crises of the
soul whilst five of them are instrumental upon the final stages of the Way in enabling the
disciple or initiate to utilize the experience gained and the values grasped in effecting
entrance into the fifth kingdom in nature. You have, therefore, the 12 + 7 + 5, making 24
in all and in these are to be found the "24 episodes which mark the Cross of
Life." From the standpoint of Christian symbolism (even though the interpretation is
as yet inadequate) these seven crises correspond to the seven stations of the Cross which
mark the way of an advancing world Savior. In connection with the five constellations which are peculiarly active in the life of
the advanced disciple and initiate, the influences fall into two triangles of force,
because Leo - focusing the energy of the seven constellations - is included, thus linking
the self-conscious aspect with the spirit: [477]
Shirk not these crises, hard and difficult though they may appear to be. Difficult they are. Forget not that the habit of confronting crises is a long-established one within the consciousness of humanity. Man has the "habit of crisis," if I may so call it. They are only the points of examination as to strength, purpose, purity and motive and the intent of the soul. They evoke confidence when surmounted and produce greatly expanded vision. They foster compassion and understanding, for the pain and inner conflict they have engendered is never forgotten, for they draw upon the resources of the heart. They release the light of wisdom within the field of knowledge and the world is thereby enriched. |
