Sun
Virgo (or Ascendant Virgo), R2P (or R2S)
Plus Constellationally Transmitted R2 and
R6
A very
strong mutual reinforcement of ray and astrological energies emerges
through the second ray transmitted constellationally, and in greatest
strength, through Virgo. The initial appropriate category of reinforcement
would be, Very Strong by Constellational Transmission.
The second ray
transmitted through Jupiter, the hierarchical ruler of Virgo, also
adds to this reinforcement. Further, the second ray, transmitted
monadically/esoterically through Neptune—one of the veiled esoteric
rulers of Virgo, adds its measure of strength. Because of these
rulerships, the categories of mutual astro-rayological reinforcement,
Strong by Rulership—Class 2 and Class 3, both
apply. One can see how powerfully the second ray is transmitted
through Virgo and its higher rulers.
The greatest
strength of this mutual reinforcement occurs for disciples and initiates,
for whom it is very strong. The second ray is also transmitted
through Venus, ruler of the third decanate {in esoteric order}and
of the first decanate {in exoteric order}, which adds to the general
strength of the second ray presence in relation to Virgo.

i. The excessive attention to unimportant detail of
the form-bound Virgo person combines with the attitude of
unwise attachment induced within the insufficiently
spiritualized personality by the second 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.)
ii.
Burdened by the weight of unnecessary and irrelevant
detail. Buried in the inconsequential.
iii.
“The
Blessed One built him an ark. Stage by stage he built
it, and floated upon the bosom of the waters. Deeply
he hid himself, and his light was no more seen,—only his floating
ark”. (EP II 36)
iv.
Attached to many forms. A glut of undigested
particulars.
v.
Held back by these attachments. Speed greatly
reduced by unnecessarily meticulous fulfillment. Encumbered.
vi.
Cherishing many forms; missing the soul and
the life within.
vii.
Surrounded by many “trees”; no view of the forest
is to be seen.
viii.
A mother-consciousness which cannot release itself from its child.
ix.
Loving the form but not the soul.
x.
Wasting time! Excruciating slowness, though
incessantly preoccupied with detailed fulfillments.
xi.
Retarded progress.

no turning back, to spurning of each other, no shakiness upon the
road”. (GWP
50-51)

i.
The humble, Christ-centered orientation of the soul-infused
disciple/initiate born in or under Virgo combines with the pure and selfless love and wisdom induced within the
soul or spiritualized personality by the second ray.
ii.
One who joyfully accepts the burden of the spiritual
will.
iii.
The realization that whatever may come of adversity,
it comes for the best. “Then all that comes is for the best—sickness, opportunity, success, and disappointment,
the gibes and machinations of enemies, the lack of comprehension on
the part of those we love—all is but to be used, and all exists but
to be transmuted”. (IHS 78)

Discover Potentials to be Derived
from
Energetic Similarities Between Virgo
and R2
A.
Virgo
Transmits the Second Ray Most Powerfully: Virgo and
the second ray are closely related because the major zodiacal transmission
of the second ray occurs through Virgo.
B.
“Mother Love”: Both
Virgo and the second ray are closely identified with “mother love”.
Both influences can be considered largely feminine in nature (though
second ray carries also the quality of the “Son”).
C.
Heart Center Activation:
Both energies stream into the heart center, though Virgo is
active within the solar plexus as well.
D.
Relation to the Human Monad:
Both influences are related to the human monad and
its plane. The monad (for practical purposes) focuses upon the second
systemic plane (the monadic plane). It is included within a Creative
Hierarchy called the “Divine Builders”, and this Hierarchy is ruled
by Virgo and Jupiter (Jupiter being a planet which transmits
the second ray).
E.
The Deva Kingdom—the Feminine:
Virgo (related to matter and to the Pleiades) is always associated
with the Deva Kingdom—especially those who are the servants
of humanity. The second ray is archetypally the feminine ray
(just as the first ray is the archetypal masculine ray), and the Deva
Kingdom, as a whole, is a feminine kingdom.
F.
“Meticulous Entirety”:
Virgo and the second ray are related to each other through the achievement
of “meticulous entirety”. This method of procedure so characteristic
of the second ray is particularly strong when Virgo (or perhaps Gemini)
combines its energy to that normally expressed through the second
ray.
G.
Selfless Service: Virgo
and the second ray are also linked through the urge, selflessly, to
serve others. All signs of the zodiac and all rays eventually
become signs and rays of service, but this sign and this ray are characteristically
related to service (as is Pisces and also Aquarius).
H.
Related to the Second Initiation:
Virgo is related to the second ray through the second initiation—the
Baptism or Purification. This initiation demands the purification
of all three lunar vehicles—a task for which the Virgo
energy is well-suited. Special attention is placed upon the discriminative
clearing of the astral vehicle, thus ridding it of its major glamors.
Further (although the second initiation is ruled by the sixth
ray) much second ray energy is also released (through Venus, Jupiter
and Neptune) bringing a truer love into the astral nature and overcoming
the worst aspects of selfish desire.
