Sun

Sun
Virgo(or Ascendant Virgo), R1P (or R1S)
Plus Constellationally Transmitted
R2 and R6
A
strong mutual reinforcement of ray and astrological energies emerges
through the first ray transmitted through Vulcan, one of two veiled
esoteric rulers of Virgo. The applicable category is Strong
By Rulership—Class 2, indicating that the mutual reinforcement of
this combination is experienced far more strongly by the first ray
disciple than by the average human being upon the first ray.
Presumably,
the initiate upon the first ray would also experience the significant
strength of the reinforcement, but the second ray transmitted through
the hierarchical ruler, Jupiter, would be superceding in strength
the first-ray Vulcan transmission. First ray transmissions through
Saturn, ruler of the second decanate in both exoteric and esoteric
order, would, in general, add to the strength of the mutual reinforcement.)

Selfish, Self-centered
or Self-Serving Human Being
i.
The caustic, critical nature of the selfish, or self-centered Virgo person
combines with a harsh,
demanding quality induced within the insufficiently-spiritualized
personality by the first ray. (These undesirable qualities would be
in the nature of a relapse or reversion to a formerly bound condition,
as it is not possible to have a first or second ray personality unless
one is at least an aspirant. The first or second ray may, however,
enter the personality by other lines of influence.)

to see the fruits of belittlement.

Potentials to be Derived from
Energetic
Similarities Between Virgo and R1
A.
Related Through Vulcan: Virgo
and the first ray are principally related through first-ray Vulcan,
one of the veiled esoteric rulers of Virgo.
B. Related
to the Monad: Both
influences are active in the realm of the monad. The monad
represents the first aspect of divinity, thus correlating with
the first ray. The monad and its plane (the second systemic
plane counting from above) are ruled by Jupiter in relation to the
sign Virgo.
C. Matter
and Power in Matter: Virgo
is a sign much associated with matter—the third aspect. Within
matter a tremendous first ray force is stored; we call this
“atomic power”.
D. Powers
of Endurance: Both
the first ray and Virgo (through Vulcan, the second and the sixth
rays) possess great powers of endurance. The first ray inclines
one never to give up, and Virgo endures faithfully through all vicissitudes.
E.
The Fires of Purification: Both
influences are related to the fires of purification.
Purificatory fire emanates, with respect to our planet, from Shamballa—the
first ray center. Purificatory fire is applied upon the “burning ground”,
and Virgo is one of the major signs of purification. Vulcan, a fiery
planet which helps to consume personality dross, is a veiled esoteric
ruler of Virgo.
F.
Separatism and Cleavages: At
certain stages of evolution, both influences conduce to separatism
and the creation of cleavages.
G. Destruction
Through Criticism: Both
influences can wield destruction through criticism.
H. Rejecting
Energy: Both
Virgo and the first ray wield rejecting energy. Virgo discriminatingly
rejects that which is qualitatively unsuitable to purpose; the first
ray more violently rejects and forcefully casts out.
I.
Vitality/Life in Matter: Virgo induces knowledge of how to generate and sustain vitality in matter.
The means are nutrition, herbalism, healing, etc. Vitality is related
to the life aspect of divinity, and hence to the first ray.
J.
Disciplining: Both Virgo and the first ray are active in the process of disciplining.
Virgo submits all personality vehicles to a discriminating discipline,
and the first ray operates through an enforcing discipline. These
two influences combine in relation to rigorous physical disciplines
(and the sixth ray is also included).
K. Related
to the First Initiation: Virgo
is related to the first ray through the first initiation—a kind of
second ‘birth’ (with which Virgo would naturally be affiliated), and
a initiation in which first-ray Vulcan (a veiled esoteric ruler of
Virgo) is strongly involved.
