Pisces The Fish

This sign symbolises the flood; chiefly because, when Sol passes through this sign the rainy season commences; clearing away the winter snows, the melting torrents of which flood valleys and lowlands. This sign is also the terminus of Apollo’s journey through the twelve signs. “Near their loved waves cold Pisces keep their seat, with Aries join, and make the round complete.” 

Kabbalistically, the sign Pisces signifies the feet of the grand cosmic man; and therefore, represents the basis of the foundation of all external things as well as the mechanical forces of humanity. It is the natural emblem of patient servitude and obedience. This sign, upon the esoteric planisphere is occupied by Ephraim and Manasseh, the two sons of Joseph, who received their portion in in Israel as the two feet of the grand archetypal man. It signifies confirmation, also baptism by water. It also indicates to us the grand cycle of necessity; commencing with the disruptive, flashing dominating fire of Aries, and terminating with its polar opposite, water, the symbol of universal equilibrium. 

The mystical gem of Pisces in chrysolite. Pisces is the last emanation of the water trigon, and is the constellation of the planet Jupiter. Upon the intellectual plane, Pisces represents mental indifference. It is the polar opposite of the head. Those dominated by its influx express peculiar indifference to those things which generally interest others. They take all things as they come, and pay no serious attention to any. They live and die in accordance with St. Paul’s advice, being “all things to all men.” Upon the physical plane, this sign gives a short, fleshy body, brown hair, pale complexion, moist watery eyes; disposition negative, timid, listless and harmless. Their nature is peaceable, but their actions are influenced by their surroundings and friends. Of plants, this sign rules all seaweeds, also ferns, and misses that grow in water. Of stones, it governs coral, rock, pumice, gravel and sand.

The Twelfth House

Image
Spiritually considered the twelfth house is symbolised by Taurus representing the first expression of form of the human soul. It is matter in the most etherealised state. It is the trail of the serpent; the silent, secret, tenacious, negative principle; that ultimately draws the soul down into the vortices of gross matter and death.  Upon the reverse of the zodiac, the external human plane the twelfth house is now symbolised by Pisces. The idols, false ideals and vampires of his own creation, are to be cleansed and washed away by the waters of love, the universal solvent that is ever seeking to bring change and new forms; born again of water to make the round of the astral zodiac, until, having again reached the equator of the ascending arc, where he is reunited to the missing half of the soul, the true friend of the Edenic state; the highest point in the arc of human progress won; the honour and glory of a perfected soul; the Lord and Master, the ‘I am that I am’, to rest In peace...

Gemini The Twins

Image
The sign Gemini, in its symbolical aspect, symbolises unity, and the strength of united action, also the truths of matehood. The two bright stars, Castor and Pollux, represent the twin souls. The Greek myth of Castor and Pollux avenging the rape of Helen, is only a repetition of the biblical story of Simeon and Levi, slaughtering the men of Shechem for the outrage committed upon their sister Dinah by the son of Hamor.  Kabbalistically, the sign Gemini represents the hands and arms of the grand man of the universe, and therefore, expresses the projecting and executive forces of humanity in all mechanical departments. Upon the esoteric planisphere, the sign is occupied by Simeon and Levi. “They are brethren,” says Jacob, “and instruments of cruelty are in their habitations,”- which refers in a very unmistakable manner to the fearfully potent powers of projection that lie concealed within the magnetic constitutions of all those who are dominated by the sign.  The mystical symbol ...

The Sacred Union

The Sacred Union   Sex.. When people think of sex, they usually envision the passionate throws of a couple between the sheets, or some strange and unusual fetish like staining mattresses with exotic fruit salads while putting the durability of leather garments to the test, all in the name of one thing; The Big O. It’s rare, these days that anyone stops to think about the spirit and the soul. We say things like “my soul-mate this, or my soul-mate that”, but do we truly stop to think about, and deeply understand what that really means? Adam, Eve and The Serpent It would be rare to find a person that hasn’t heard of the story of Adam and Eve in scriptures. You know, God makes boy, then makes girl out of boy’s rib, they live happily in the Garden of Eden until that fateful day that the girl is tempted to eat the forbidden fruit by a snake. This story, like many in the Bible isn’t as simple and clear cut as what most may think. It’s an allegorical story relating to sex, lust, desire, an...
