1. Aquarius – is the Light that shines on Earth across the sea . It is the light that shines in the darkness forever, and clarifies with its healing rays that which must be purified till all the darkness is gone.
3. There are 3 key notes of Aquarius
- The service of the personality , the lower self, which eventually transmutes itself into the service of humanity .
- Superficial and selfish activity which changes into a deep and active intention to be active on behalf of Teachers of Love and Wisdom.
- Self-centered living which changes finally into a sensitive humanitarian awareness .
4. In Aquarius the matter and the imprisoned soul are already tolerant of one anther . In an advanced Aquarian individual the soul and the spirit express themselves through matter . In Aquarius a man awakens to the beauty of group life, group interests and his individual responsibilities towards the group. This is a result of unfolding of his consciousness .
5. Aquarius deals with the nature of connection that holds everything together subjectively and in truth . While in Pisces (Fishes) the energy of the bond between the personality and the soul is an enslaving connection – limiting, and holding the soul hostage.
6. An average Aquarian individual is generous for show only. An esoterically advanced Aquarius put everything he has into his vessel, keeping all of it for help, and freely giving its contents on demand, when he meets the need .
7. An average Aquarian on the Mutable Cross will, for example be a devoted worker in some firm, and all of his interests will end there, he gives everything he has to it. On the Fixed Cross, this dedication of oneself to others becomes his help to the world.
8. An Aquarian subject can feel the depth of depression and self-depreciation or can know and pass through the exaltation of his soul and the feeling of spiritual might, which the soul control brings. He knows it as an interaction, and also as an action and counter-action, necessary for growth and learning.
9. The rulers of Aquarius are Uranus - 7th ray (exoteric), Jupiter (esoteric) - 2nd ray, and Moon (hierarchical) - 4th ray.
10. Uranus - 7 th ray - open vision and Jupiter - 2 nd ray have a unique interplay. Uranus veils the Moon - esoterically organizing forms, blind lives – it is the work of the 7 th creative Hierarchy.
11. The rulers of the three Aquarius decanates are Saturn, Mercury and Venus - symbolizing Opportunity - Illumination - Brotherhood .
12. Aquarius governs blood system and circulation . Blood distributes Life force throughout the body.
