Associated with the establishing of relationship between Father,
Mother and Child at the first initiation (cf. EA 388); the clarifying, mind-illumining
second initiation (EA 157, GWP 271); the crucifying, illusion-renouncing
fourth (EA 472); and the resurrecting seventh
initiations (the second ray initiation of fulfilled Love-Wisdom).
(cf. R&I 88-89)
|
|

Association with refuse-flushing, fire-cleansing, fellowship-inducing
second initiation; the ego-negating, light-pervading,
soul-inspiring third initiation; the personality-renouncing,
life-energizing fourth initiation; and, conceivably,
with the abundant life of the beneficently organizing fifth
degree.
|
| 11.
Gemini (the third sign) can be associated with the thought-configuring,
articulating throat center under the third ray;
also with the duality-resolving, unifying heart center,
and with the manipulating/blessing centers in the palms.
Dualistic Gemini (ruled by oscillatory Mercury) can also be
associated with the dualistic, decision-making, polarity-integrating
ajna center, and with the system-uniting “kundalini”
at the base of the spine. “Mercury demonstrates kundalini in intelligent activity”
(EA 181)
|
|
11.
Aquarius can be reasonably associated
with the entire abundantly-radiating, synthetic crown
center, and the united radiation of the chakra centers as a
whole. When the ajna center responds to the universal
mind, the envisioning of the archetypally-destined future appears.
Aquarius transmits the third ray, and thus relates to the throat
center (through ruling Saturn, Uranus and Vulcan as well). Aquarius,
is esoterically ruled by Jupiter, the planet controlling the
group-inclusive heart center. The evolving Aquarian is
subject to many emotional highs and lows, thus connecting Aquarius
to the solar plexus center. (EA 141-142) Also, through
Uranus, with the form-creating sacral center which generates
“waters of life” in a more material sense. As well, seventh-ray
Uranus is numerically related to the seventh or basal center,
bringing Aquarius into the relation.
|
| 12.
The zodiacal signs influence the Monad of every human being
(EA 411, 637, TCF 1191);
the influence from Gemini makes it possible for the “Brother”
who is the “prodigal son” to go forth into a “far country” (as
the Monad-in-substantial-immersion), and yet, remain
‘at home’ within the Father’s House as the “elder Brother” Who
did not go forth (i.e., as the Monad undiminished upon
its own level of consciousness). Thus is the Monad “in the world
yet not of the world”. Gemini endows the Monad with its
all-pervasive omnipresence relative to the human energy
system. “Having pervaded the entire
Universe with a fragment of myself, I remain.”
|
|
12.
The zodiacal signs influence the Monad of every human being
(EA 411, 637, TCF 1191);
the influence from Aquarius governs the large monadic groups
or ‘monadic ashrams’, which aggregations exist upon the
monadic plane. The universal awareness of the Monad is
inspired and enhanced by the Aquarian energy. The Monad is a
‘center of synthesis’ and a ‘center within synthesis’.
The Aquarian energy stimulates the universality and synthetic
awareness of the Monad.
|
| 13.
Within the Triad—Gemini, the third sign, is related to
higher manas (the third aspect of the Triad).
Higher manas formulates into abstract thought the revelations
of the ‘idea-patterns’ to be found upon the buddhic plane. Gemini,
as its dualistic symbol reveals, is also related to the divine
love, pure reason and intuitive revelations of buddhi,
the second aspect of the Spiritual Triad.
|
|
13.
Within the Triad—Aquarius is related principally to higher
manas and to atma as both of them reflect, to differing
degrees, the Universal Mind (EA 241, 322, 495). Aquarius transmits the third ray constellationally (EA 138), and has rulers or sub-rulers which
do the same. Aquarius “expresses the universal consciousness
of the Great Bear” linking it to atma, in yet another
way. The energy of Aquarius, as well, stimulates and blends
with buddhi, principally by inducing loving group-cohesion.
The Tibetan speaks of “universal love of the truly developed
Aquarian.” (EA 136) This is an expression of buddhi.
|
| 14.
In relation to the Solar Angel, and the soul-consciousness (and
causal body) through which it expresses—Gemini can be seen as
governing the pulsations of Solar-Angelic thought and vitality
which rhythmically stimulate the personality. Gemini can be
associated with the attempt the Solar Angel to communicate
with and instruct the personality.
|
|
14.
In relation to the Solar Angel, and the soul-consciousness (and
causal body) through which it expresses—Aquarius represents
the dowering of the personality with all super-human, transcendental
gifts which the Solar Angel may safely bestow. Aquarius represents
the patient service of the Solar Angel to its long-developing
personality, and the consequent elevation of the human soul
from the human to the super-human state of the fifth kingdom—the
Kingdom of Souls. Aquarius rules the generous distribution of
beneficent Solar-Angelic radiation to (and through) its
personality
|
| 15.
Within the Personality—Gemini can be identified with the flexible
associative processes and informational receptivity
of the lower mental nature, which becomes, eventually, especially
responsive to the antahkarana; with the bi-polar fluctuations
of the astral nature, vacillating conflicted between the pairs
of opposites (EA 362); in general, with the etheric nature
and its network of interplaying vital-electric currents and
with the sprightliness and rejuvenation of the
dense physical nature. Gemini is especially related to the
etheric vehicle. (EA 352)
(The vehicular focus and its degree
of prominence, depends upon the stage of evolutionary development.)
|
|
15.
Within the Personality—Aquarius can be identified with the power
to vitalize, unify and synthesize thought,
which eventually develops within the lower mental nature; with
the cleansing, drying, and eventual distributive
radiation of the love-responsive astral nature; with the
electric vitalization of the etheric nature; and, in
general, with the nervous animation of the dense physical
form. Aquarius “is eventually
connected with the physical permanent atom.” (EA
302) (The vehicular focus
and its degree of prominence, depends upon the stage of evolutionary
development.)

| 1.
Expressive, principally, of the second or Love aspect
of divinity. (EA 351) “It is the constellation Gemini and its inherent second ray influence
which control every one of the pairs of opposites in the Great
Wheel.” (EA 346) Gemini, ‘Lord of Intelligence’, is also
closely linked by numerical affinity to the third or Intelligence
aspect. “…Gemini is the third sign
and embodies what is called ‘a third potency’…” (EA 355) “Ray
3.—Active Intelligence, under the influence of this third sign,
Gemini, slowly conditioning the etheric body.” (EA 357)
|
|
1.
Expressive, principally, of the third divine aspect “…the
third ray expresses itself powerfully through this sign” (EA 138)—strongly connected, however, with both the first and second
aspects. “At this time and
in a peculiar manner, the initiate-consciousness sees the Hierarchy
as primarily energised by life, and by the energy of Aquarius,
carrying a hitherto unknown aspect of the life energy of deity.”
(R&I 229) Aquarius rules Hierarchy. “…our
Hierarchy [is] (an expression of the second aspect of divinity)…”
(EA197)
|
| 2.
Cosmically associated with Sirius.
“1. Gemini—forms a point of entrance for cosmic energy from Sirius.”
(EA 349) Sirius and Gemini are both related to Masonry.
(cf. EA 350) Sirius and Gemini were active together
in the individualization process. (cf. EA 355) Gemini is also associated with the
Pleiades. “Gemini—Sagittarius—Mercury
(which are an expression of the Pleiades) enable the Probationary
Disciple to pass on to the Path of Accepted Discipleship.” (EA
466)
|
|
2.
Strong cosmic association with the Pole Star, Alcyone, also an
invisible constellation, and the Great Bear: “The influence which emanates from the Pole Star and
which is such a potent factor in our solar system reaches our
planet via the sign Aquarius.” (TCF 1263) “Aquarius, Alcyone and Humanity constitute
a most interesting triangle of force. Alcyone is one of the seven
Pleiades and is called the ‘star of the Individual’ and sometimes
the ‘star of intelligence’.” (EA 200) “The source of energy to
which they respond may be regarded as the Pole Star. It should
nevertheless be pointed out that this star serves only as a blind
for a constellation which lies behind,—a constellation which exists
only in etheric matter. It is consequently ignored by astronomers,
though its influence is exceedingly potent within our system.”
(TCF 1262) Also, “Aquarius—expresses the universal consciousness of the
Great Bear.” (EA 349)
|

b) Canis Minor—the Lesser Dog (including Procyon) c) Canis Major—the

In Comparison
With
|
Aquarius
|
| 1.
Gemini transmits the second ray constellationally
|
|
1.
Aquarius is the eleventh sign on the reversed wheel. Since
eleven sums to two, Aquarius has numerical affinity with
the second ray. Jupiter, the esoteric ruler of Aquarius,
transmits the second ray. Neptune, a Moon-veiled hierarchical
ruler, transmits the second ray monadically. Vulcan (a
Moon-veiled hierarchical ruler) is associated with the “heart
of the Sun” (EA ), and Uranus (exoteric ruler) is placed in
a line of second ray transmission from Sirius, and participates
in the three lower vehicles (probably as the mental body) of
a great second ray Entity (EPII 99)
|
| 2.
Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac on the reversed
wheel, and therefore, has numerical affinity with the number three
and with the third ray “Ray
3.—Active Intelligence, under the influence of this third sign,
Gemini, slowly conditioning the etheric body.” (EA 357)“The fact
that Gemini is the third sign and embodies what is called ‘a third
potency’ enabled it to reach, with its force, the third kingdom
and produce that reaction which resulted in the individualising
or the humanising of its higher forms of life.” (EA 355)
|
|
2.
“The third ray expresses itself powerfully through” Aquarius
constellationally. (EA 138). Aquarius is also the third sign of
the zodiac on the clock-wise wheel, therefore having numerical
affinity with the third ray. Uranus transmits the third
ray (probably through its personality) as does Saturn (considered
an alternative ruler in this sign) through its Monad, and probably,
also, its soul. The Moon-veiled Uranus also transmits the third
ray.
|
| 3.
Gemini is the eleventh sign of the zodiac on the clockwise wheel
and, therefore, has numerical affinity with the number two
and with the second ray.
|
|
3.
See #2 above.
|
| 4.
Gemini is also the fifth sign in the series of sign if
one proceeds by polarities (Aries-Libra, Taurus-Scorpio, Gemini-etc.)
Thus, Gemini, from this perspective, has numerical resonance with
the fifth ray.
|
|
4.
Aquarius transmits the fifth ray constellationally. Uranus,
the exoteric ruler, (and a veiled hierarchial rulers) can
stand for “exoteric science” (EP
149) and, hence, has fifth ray associations. Saturn,
a possible alternative ruler, is associated with the concrete
mind and, hence, with the fifth principle. Vulcan, (a
veiled hierarchical ruler) relates to the concretion and physical
precipitation, as does the fifth ray.
|
| 5.
Gemini is the tenth sign of the zodiac on the clockwise
wheel, IF one begins numbering from Pisces (as the Tibetan does
in relation to Leo) This indicates a resonance with the first
ray, though there is, otherwise, little first ray to be found
within this sign, proper.
|
|
5.
Aquarius, itself, may have implicate first ray associations.
“Aquarius—expresses the universal
consciousness of the Great Bear” (EA 349) The Great Bear
(as a whole) transmits the first ray. (cf.
TCF 146). Aquarius, is the tenth sign on the reversed wheel, numbering
by polarities (Aries-Libra, Taurus-Scorpio, etc.) and thus has
numerical resonance with the first ray. Uranus,
the exoteric ruler, transmits the first ray monadically.
(EPI 421) Saturn, a possible alternative ruler in Aquarius, transmits
the first ray probably in its personality, but perhaps
its soul. (EA 450) Moon-veiled
Vulcan and Uranus both transmit the first ray—the first
as the monadic ray, the second, probably, as the soul ray.
|
| 6.
Mercury is the exoteric ruler of Gemini and transmits the fourth
ray. As well, the constellation Gemini is associated with the
fourth ray. “Ray 4.—Harmony through Conflict, under the influence
of Gemini-Sagittarius, staging those situations upon the astral
plane which will produce the conflict in the astral body which
is essential to the final treading of the burning ground and subsequent
release.” (EA 357)
|
|
6.
The Moon (hierarchical ruler) is the veiling transmitter of the
fourth ray. Moon-veiled Vulcan is closely related to the
fourth ray, the fourth kingdom, and the fourth
initiation. Neptune ( a Moon-veiled hierarchical ruler)
is associated with the fourth ray through its relationship to
buddhi, and to the fourth , or buddhic, plane.
|
| 7.
Mercury is closely associated with the third ray, and probably
transmits this ray as its personality ray.
|
|
7.
See #2 above.
|
| 8.
Mercury has a close relation to the fifth ray, through
its relation to the fifth scheme, the fifth round,
the fifth race and sub-race. “The fifth race is born under Mercury.” (EA 663)
|
|
8.
See #4 above.
|
| 9.
Venus, the esoteric ruler of Gemini, transmits the fifth
ray.
|
|
9.
See #4 above.
|
| 10.
Venus is “pure love-wisdom” and, therefore, can be seen as transmitting
the second ray (probably as the personality ray) (cf.
EA 281) “…the second ray is the ray at present of the planetary
Logos” (DINA II 210)
|
|
10.
See #1 above.
|
| 11.
Venus is the “home of the planetary Logos of the sixth Ray” (EA
595) thus transmits the sixth ray, probably monadically,
just as Uranus, with its first ray Monad, is the “home of fire
electric” (TCF 1154)
|
|
11.
Neptune (a Moon-veiled hierarchical ruler) transmits the
sixth ray. Enthusiastic Jupiter has a probable connection
to the sixth ray.
|
| 12.
The Earth is the hierarchical ruler of Gemini and transmits the
third ray, its personality ray. “…it was necessary to call attention to this great determining
factor, the third ray, which is the personality ray of our planetary
Logos.” (EP I 338) (cf. EA 619)
|
|
12.
See #2 above.
|
| 13.
The Earth transmits the second ray, its soul ray. “It
[the first ray] is the monadic ray of our planetary Logos, Whose
Soul ray is the second and the personality ray the third.” (EA
619)
|
|
13.
See #1 above.
|
| 14.
The Earth transmits (however weakly) the first ray—its
monadic ray. (cf. EA 619)
|
|
14.
See #5 above.
|
| 15.
There are no strong seventh ray transmissions through Gemini,
proper. Jupiter and Saturn, which have a special relation to this
sign (one demonstrating the fusion of Spirit and soul, and the
other the confrontation with the Dweller) both have seventh ray
components.
|
|
15.
Uranus transmits the seventh ray. Saturn has strong seventh
ray associations. Jupiter (esoteric ruler) transmits the seventh
ray.

and personality—a dialogue which stimulates the intuition. “In the coming world religion this fact will be noted
and in the month of June, which is essentially the month in
which the influences of Gemini are peculiarly strong, due advantage
will be taken in order to bring man nearer to the spiritual
realities.” (EA 355)

expression of this influence has been beautifully given to us

shoulder. This is the symbol of the sign Aquarius—the sign in
which the universality of the water of life will become a factor
in human consciousness; then we shall indeed all sit down eventually
to the communion of bread and wine. He referred indirectly to
the same idea when He spoke of Himself as the ‘water of life,’
assuaging the thirst of humanity.” (EA 566)

and Points of Cooperation Between the Influences |
Similarities
and Points of Cooperation
Between the Zodiacal Influences
There
are many similarities between these 2 air signs. Both are highly
mental, though Aquarius is used to handling more will whereas
Gemini
rules the relationship between the concrete mind, the Son of mind
and the intuitive mind, Aquarius has more to do with the universal
mind.
Both
make great networkers and through their power of relating, can create
synthesis.
Both
are strongly related to the etheric body and to the circulation
of energies within he etheric body, though the power of the etheric
body is more related to Aquarius. Both are signs of circulation,
not only of the etheric body but the nervous system is implicated
and the circulation of nervous electric energy along the nerves
and nadis come under the province of both signs.
They
have much to do with the factor of intelligence and counting from
Aries clockwise, one reaches Aquarius and counter-clockwise, one
reaches Gemini. So there is much of mobility in these two signs
though Aquarius is given more to rigidity and fixity of opinion.
Still
there is a willingness in both signs to entertain ideas of an unusual
nature. Interestingly, the exoteric ruler of each is at home in
the other sign and the exoteric rulers are related in terms of octaves,
Uranus being the higher octave of Mercury.
The
esoteric rulers are also related especially to the egoic lotus and
the causal body and the love of the group. Again, the more powerful
planet, Jupiter being the exoteric ruler of Aquarius and Venus the
esoteric ruler of Gemini.
Even
the hierarchical rulers are related for the moon is hierarchical
ruler of Aquarius and could certainly be considered a pair with
earth as the hierarchical ruler of Gemini.
These
signs are both related especially to the spiritual hierarchy. Aquarius
rules hierarchy particularly since it is the great transformative
body and is working its transformation out upon the human kingdom.
It is the heart center of the planet and curiously, Aquarius is
associated with the heart center and its circulatory system as is
Gemini through its distribution of the 2nd Ray.
The
aspect of Hierarchy related to Gemini is the teaching aspect, for
it is a great teaching body and perhaps there is a no more instructive
sign than Gemini – the sign of teaching and learning, distributing
the 2nd ray of Love/Wisdom, the Ray of the teacher. So
there is much of the 2nd ray in these 2 signs, together
entering in various ways. Either as a ray directly through the constellation
or in association with one of the planets ruling the constellation.
Both
signs too, are much associated with the body but not body in terms
of the matter of the previous solar system but body in terms of
the etheric nature which is the true body. They provide conduits
for the transmission of a whole range of energies into the etheric
body.
Both
rule bi-polar disorders—manic depressiveness. Both
signs are active for change in as much as the fertilization of the
mind is needed for any kind of legitimate change. I would say they
are agents of intelligent change. It is true that Aquarius is willing
to pursue that change in vehemence and even some degree of violence
for Uranus has about it much of electric will. Nevertheless both
signs share what might be called a progressive attitude of mind.
Equally,
as with all air signs, there is the ability to detach mentally from
the contents of the emotional vehicle. It is certainly possible
to have an emotionally polarized Geminian or Aquarian individual
and if this is the case there will be many fluctuations between
the poles for Gemini does not have a monopoly upon this fluctuation
and the glyph of Aquarius, as indicated by the Tibetan, demonstrates
the hill and valley experience alternating between elation and depression
but the mental attitude is very powerful in these two signs and
is able to negate the usual glamorous attractions associated with
the emotional plane. In another sense these are signs which share
great and consuming mental interest.
The
wide variety in creation is noted by individuals born in each of
these signs and all manner of knowledge is considered significant
and worthy of correlation and inter-relation. Clearly, as well,
the factor of communication is shared by them both which fits well
with these signs being basically distributive in nature.
They
promote circulation of all kinds and movement of all kinds, leading
to a completed network, inter-related and synthesized.
