chart of JWK-P
by
Elena Dramchini
- His Soul Ray planet is a sacred planet Vulcan. Vulcan
is a 1st Ray ( soul ), 4th Ray ( monad ) planet placed
most probably in Pisces and is in the 11th house of Group consciousness,
Group Soul, universality and international identity, Ashram, NGWS and World
Servers, Heart to Heart telepathy.
- The placement of Vulcan in the 11th house
gives emphasis on Group work.
- The other conductor of 1st Ray is the non-sacred
planet Pluto, placed in the 2nd Ray Gemini, in the 12th
house of unredeemed past, Karma, renunciation, subconscious attitudes left
from past lives, healing of humanity and those who are handicapped or restricted,
monasteries or places of seclusion, sacrifice.
- The placement of Pluto in the 12th house gives
emphasis on redemptive work of past lives unresolved issues.
- 3 signs represent conduit for the 1st Ray
Soul: Aries, Leo, Capricorn.
- Aries is intercepted on the 11th house of
Group work. JWK-P’s duty was to contribute to the success of the NGWS, initiating
a lot of projects and activities. He was also trained in leadership to take
over from A.A.B.
- Mars, the orthodox ruler of Aries is in the 5th
house, the mansion of the Soul. This house rules the Causal body and its
radiation, Soul to Soul telepathy, creative expression of the Soul, talents
or qualities of the Soul, Joy of service. He needed to initiate ( Aries
) humanitarian group work ( 11th house ), using the qualities
of the Causal body ( 5th house ) through effort and struggle
( Mars ) working with Joy ( 5th house ).
- Mercury, the esoteric ruler of Aries, is in the 10th
house of Dharma and fulfilment of Life Purpose. The 10th house
rules the Hierarchy, Shamballa, the law and authority of the Soul/Spirit,
the maturity or age of the Soul, spiritual ambition and responsibility,
the Master of one’s Ashram, the mountain top experience, the Initiate. His
work for the NGWS (11th house ) and for the Hierarchy
( 10th house ) was his Dharma and the Purpose of this incarnation.
It carried a lot of responsibility and was mainly educational – finding
and training those who could co-operate ( Mercury
). He was also trained in telepathy ( Mercury )
and was in the group of Telepathic communicators.HHeH
- Both, Mercury and Mars are retrograde and debilitated.
Mercury in Pisces is in its fall and Mars in Libra in its detriment. This
indicates how very important his work was and that he was dealing with these
energies in previous incarnation (emphasised also by the South Node in Aquarius)
and can draw on the past experience. The trine between Mercury/Mars guarantees
the success achieved in this life. He was praised by his Master for work
well done and was told that his humanitarian work will continue in the next
life ( MC in Aquarius, North Node in Leo conjunct
Saturn and the Sun, the dispositor on all levels, is in 11th
house. The polarity of the 3rd / 9th houses emphasises
mental, educational work and building of the Antahkarana
).
- Leo, the other conductor of the 1st Ray is
on the IC. The 4th house rules the Ashram and the karmic links
with our ashramic brothers, Brotherhood, racial heritage, accumulated
past lives pattern, building of foundation for the next life, anchoring
of the Soul in the present incarnation – gate into form life, Mass consciousness,
Instinctual Telepathy – Solar Plexus to Solar Plexus.
- Leo placement on the 4th house gives emphasis
on the ashramic work and the link between past, present and future life
pattern.
- Sun is the ruler of Leo on all three levels – orthodox,
esoteric, hierarchical and is placed in the 11th house of Group
work, in Pisces, the sign of the World Saviour – the Christ. We can see
clearly a link emerging between the past, present and future incarnations.
The very important part of his work for the Ashram and the Hierarchy was
to intelligently prepare the human consciousness for the reappearance of
the Christ.
- Capricorn, the third sign transmitting the 1st
Ray, is ruling the 8th and 9th houses. The 8th
house is a house of loss, death and sacrifice, of occult powers, rituals
and magic, Masonry, of depth and research, esoteric psychology, of powerful
transformation ( Uranus is exalted in here ), group resources, sharing,
a door to different levels of consciousness – continuity of consciousness,
reincarnation, spiritualism, occultism, Path of Discipleship, the Disciple.
- The 9th house rules the esoteric schools,
the Hall of Wisdom, the Wisdom Religion, the akashic records, the higher
mind, the unfoldment of the sense of vision, the Plan, training for initiation,
later stages of the Path, second part of the Antahkarana, intuitional telepathy
– Soul and Mind and telepathic work between Soul, Mind and Brain.
- Capricorn placement on the 8th and 9th
houses indicates the need for in depth psychology of the human nature –
he had to find the right people for the work and train them. A very important
part of his work was to organise a financial support for the NGWS and the
knowledge of the Plan was one of his keywords. He was influenced by Masonry
and telepathic work in linking the Soul, Mind and Brain (
Head, Ajna, Throat ) was a very important part in his training as
a communicator and mediator.
- Saturn, the orthodox and esoteric ruler of Capricorn
is placed in the 3rd house of the lower concrete mind and practical
intelligence, learning skills, writing, group mind, mental telepathy – Mind
to Mind, meditation, building of the first part of Antahkarana, the Knowledge
petals, early stages of the Path, the Aspirant, the Etheric body, the Breath.
He had a good sense of direction, pointing the way to people that
they go the correct way. He was making the vision and the Plan (
9th house ) concrete and practical ( Saturn ) and putting ideas
into form ( cancer ) through writing ( 3rd house ). DK was telling
him to write more ( with Saturn in the 3rd ruling the 8th,
he had to overcome some deep unconscious fears and Saturn is giving him
the opportunity to do so ). Much of his physical plane (
Saturn ) activity was hampered by etheric devitalisation ( Saturn
in the 3rd house, also Chiron in Gemini ) and the cure lied in
steadfastness and persistence ( 1st Ray ) in meditation ( 3rd
house ).
- In summary, the 1st Ray Soul can express principally
through the planet Vulcan, most probably in the 11th house of
Group work and through Pluto in the 12th house of unredeemed
Karma and subjective work. Further, the 1st Ray of Will and Power
would express primarily through the three signs which are the conduits of
the 1st Ray energy – namely Aries, Leo and Capricorn. The 1st
Ray would continue its expression through Mars and Mercury ruling Aries,
Sun ruling Leo and Saturn ruling Capricorn.
- His Personality Ray planet is 2nd Ray ( Soul
) Jupiter, placed in the 6th house of healing, health, correction
and purification of the form, process of integration of the three lower
bodies, relationship with co-workers, service, living the spiritual qualities
in everyday life, discipleship training.
- The placement of Jupiter in the 6th house
emphasises the issue of health and the relationship to his co-workers. He
had to learn with wisdom ( Jupiter ) to choose
his workers. Very difficult for 1st Ray to get close to people
and really know them ( natural isolation of the 1st Ray type ).
He was told to choose the workers on the 2nd Ray or 1st
Ray with love aspect highly developed but not overdeveloped. Even though
the main cause of his etheric devitalisation was wrong meditation work and
the need to watch his diet and take care of the health of his physical body,
the most important medicine was the expression of Joy ( Jupiter ) in service
( 6th house ). He was suspicious (Mercury square Pluto ) of
people’s motives and so needed to develop trust ( Jupiter ) by loving them
( 2nd Ray ) and so establish friendly working relationship (
6th house and ruler Mars in Libra trine Venus ).
- The other planet as conduit for the 2nd Ray
is the Sun, placed in the 11th house of Group work. This compliments
the 1st Ray Soul focus on the Group work, indicating personality/soul
fusion. This is further confirmed by the orthodox and esoteric rulers of
the AS ( Mercury/Venus ) in wide conjunction in the 10th
House ( life purpose ).
- The three signs conduit for the 2nd Ray are:
Gemini, Virgo and Pisces.
- Gemini, the major transmitter of 2nd Ray,
is ruling the AS, indicating the Soul’s Purpose. Gemini is the determining
and paramount influence within the energies of the Mutable Cross (
love underlies all ) and also the synthesising energy of all the
pairs of opposites in the zodiac, forming powerful triangles. In this case
the triangle is Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, linking the 5th house
( creative expression of the Soul ) and 11th
house ( group work ) with the AS ( purpose of the Soul ). Gemini produces
changes needed in the evolution of the Christ consciousness through the
process from the gestation of the Christ consciousness within the individual
( Virgo ) to the active appearance of Christ consciousness
in form and eventually of the World Saviour ( Pisces ). Gemini is the sign
of the divine interplay, the intermediary, the mediator. It rules the Etheric
body.
- Mercury, the orthodox ruler of Gemini is in Pisces (
direct knowing ), and is placed in the 10th house of life
Purpose and Hierarchy. He acted as a communicator between the Hierarchy
and the NGWS. Mercury in Pisces is the abstract mind as the revealer of
the S. Triad to the Soul and this carries the disciple to the 3rd
initiation. This is one of the indicators that he was preparing to take
the 3rd initiation.
- Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces are related, being the
signs of messenger and mediator. Mercury, the divine messenger is detriment
in Sagittarius, fall in Pisces and is orthodox ruler of Gemini. These
three signs rule the AS, DC and 11th house , further emphasised
by the T- Square between Jupiter,
the orthodox ruler of Sagittarius and Pisces, placed in Sagittarius, opposite
Pluto, the esoteric ruler of Pisces, placed in Gemini and both square Mercury
in Pisces. All three planets are placed in the first decanate of the signs,
emphasising a personality issues. He had difficulties to overcome (
related to the distorted 1st Ray Soul energy manifesting
through his 2nd Ray personality ) that of ruthlessness, wrong
speech ( Mercury square Pluto ), criticism and lack of appreciation. People
were not good enough for his high standard and his quick and original mind
( Mercury sextile Moon, veiling Uranus ). He despised
those who appeared satisfied with what they have done (
1st Ray ) and this was causing crisis in his relationship
with others. This T-Square was the major block for fusing the personality
with the Soul ( 7th house – the spiritual or vertical marriage
).
- Venus, the esoteric ruler of Gemini is in Aquarius and
also in the 10th house and widely conjunct the MC. Very powerful
placement because Venus is hierarchical ruler of Capricorn and MC is the
Dharma. This indicates his total commitment and dedication to his work for
the Hierarchy. This is further emphasised by Venus conjunct Vesta.
- Virgo, the other conduit of the 2nd Ray is
ruling the 5th house of the Causal body and the creative expression
of the Soul, children of the mind – creative ideas, one’s talents in expression.
Virgo is a concrete mind – it can be separative but it can make things clear
and it has precision in details. It aids with purification and correction
of the form.
- Mercury, the orthodox ruler of Virgo is placed in the
10th house in Pisces. He was able to communicate his creative
and intuitive ideas with clarity ( Mercury sextile Moon, veiling Vulcan – esoteric
ruler of Virgo ) and attention to comprehensive detail in unity ( 2nd
Ray ) with authority and in practical manner (10th house ).
- Moon ( veiling Vulcan ), the
esoteric ruler of Virgo, is in Taurus in the 12th house. The
placement of Moon in Taurus ( lack of light ) makes
the form very powerful so the correcting energy of Virgo and the Spiritual
will of Vulcan is needed to break the strong hold of the form. The purificatory
( Virgo ) and redemptive ( 12th house
) energy is doing its work here in adjusting Karma ( Moon square the Nodes
) and enabling the free entry of the higher energy and light into the form
and so aiding in the integration of the three lower bodies. This reflects
his problem with physical body and etheric devitalisation (
Moon –veiling Vulcan rules the circulatory flow in the etheric body
).
- Pisces, the third conduit of the 2nd Ray,
is ruling the 11th house of Group work. Pisces is a sign of deep
intuition and sensitivity to the law operating behind appearances. The 2nd
Ray personality gives deep and wise understanding of people, patience, friendliness,
tact and social sensitivity, power to teach. But when the 1st
Ray Soul is distorted by the personality it manifests as isolating, separative
influence, unable to express true impersonality and attached detachment.
He had a problem of getting close to people, to truly understand them and
was not able to form friendly working relationships with his workers and
co-disciples. ( Jupiter, the orthodox ruler of
Pisces and Pluto, the esoteric ruler of Pisces are in opposition ). This
further indicates this issue was the stumbling block in Soul/personality
fusion and taking the 3rd initiation.
- Jupiter, the orthodox ruler of Pisces, is in the 6th
house of healing and working relationships and is placed in Sagittarius,
ruling the 7th house of right human relations and spiritual marriage
( Soul/personality ). Jupiter is square Mercury,
the orthodox ruler of AS and the 5th house (
Causal body ), the esoteric ruler of the 11th house (
Group work ) and the Hierarchical ruler of the 6th house ( healing
and working relationships ).
- Pluto, the esoteric and hierarchical ruler of Pisces
is in the 12th house ( unresolved Karma
and seclusion ) in Gemini ( fusion of duality, building of Antahkarana,
the Etheric body ). Pluto drags to the surface deep, unresolved issues standing
in our way of spiritual progress. These deep psychological blockages are
usually unconscious and so more difficult to deal with and are the real
stumbling blocks upon the spiritual Path. They are known as Maya, Glamour
and Illusion. Glamour is related to the Astral body. JWK-P’s glamour was
that of fatigue ( physical disability ), ( Pluto rules the 6th
house of health and is in Gemini which rules the Etheric body ) and that
of disappointment over world conditions. The glamour is the result of his
strong sensitivity (Sun in Pisces sextile Neptune)
to the desire and feeling aspect ( astral body
) of the World personality. He needs to discriminate (
Neptune, esoteric ruler of the 3rd house sextile
Saturn in the 3rd house ) and register ( with equal sensitivity
) the mass of the world idealisms ( 6th Ray ) and aspiring thought.
Pluto conjunct Neptune ( both rulers of Pisces
) in the 12th house ( the unconscious ). Pluto brings out the
glamour from the Solar Plexus ( Neptune ) by releasing the light ( Taurus ) and destroying
the glamour ( 1st Ray ). He was asked to fight the glamour with
1st Ray Indifference – that of non – recognition and by complete
right absorption in the immediate task.
- In summary, the 2nd Ray Personality can express
principally through the planet Jupiter in the 6th house of healing,
discipleship training and working relationships and through the Sun in the
11th house of Group work. Further the 2nd Ray of Love-Wisdom
would express primarily through the three signs which are the conduits of
the 2nd Ray energy – namely Gemini, Virgo and Pisces. The 2nd
Ray would continue its expression through Mercury and Venus ruling Gemini,
Mercury and Moon ruling Virgo and Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto ruling Pisces.
- His Mental body was upon the 4th Ray of Harmony
through Conflict. It was the choice of his Soul for this incarnation to
have this particular energy conditioning his Mind to help with his work
as a mediator and intermediary ( Pisces ) between
the network of interrelated ( Gemini) groups ( Aquarius ) and individuals
and so aiding the Plan. This energy was also aiding him in building of the
Antahkarana ( Mercury ) and the fusion of Soul, Mind and Brain. ( Mercury in Pisces sextile Moon, Venus - Soul quincunx
Saturn - Mind and Earth -Brain ). It gave him the power to harmonise, to
unify and to comprehend. ( Mercury square Jupiter,
Mars in Libra ). The 4th Ray is the Ray of Creative living and
Skill in Action ( Mars in the 5th house
trine Mercury in the 10th house ). He was asked to move forward
with patience ( 2nd Ray ), with skill
in action ( 4th Ray ) and with an unmoved persistence ( 1st
Ray ).
- The conduit for the 4th Ray is Mercury in
Pisces ( high sensitivity to impression and intuitive
understanding ) placed in the 10th house of the Hierarchy and
the Spiritual Triad. ( Mercury in Pisces is the
abstract mind revealing the S. Triad ). The other conduit for the 4th
Ray is the Moon in Taurus ( also transmitting the
4th Ray ) in the 12th house of subjectivity and the
unconscious. Here we see the fusion ( 4th Rah) of Mind ( Mercury ) and the Brain
( Moon ) in Mercury sextile Moon.
- His second keyword was Wisdom. Mercury is Mind – Wisdom
( Venus is Love – Wisdom ). Wisdom is the quality
of the Heart ( Jupiter ). Jupiter is also related to Wisdom and is
placed in Sagittarius ( search for Wisdom ) in
the 6th house ( concrete mind ). Wisdom is revealed through the
intuitive ideas ( Mercury ) which the concrete
mind inhibits. The concrete mind is ruled by Mercury and to some extend
by Saturn. Both planets are debilitated – Mercury is in its fall in Pisces
in the 10th house ( ruled by Saturn
) and Saturn is in detriment in Cancer in the 3rd house ( concrete
mind ). Mercury is bi-quintile Saturn. Bi-quintile is a harmonic based on
number 5, further emphasising the concrete mind ( 5th
Ray ). Mercury square Jupiter , which could either
expand the Wisdom aspect of the mind or the lower concrete mind. Jupiter
(wisdom ) is also contra – parallel Saturn ( concrete
mind ). What we see in these dynamics that the Wisdom aspect of Mercury
need to be released through the fusion of the Mind ( Mercury ) and the Brain
( Saturn ) each of which expresses one of the two major energies ( Soul
and personality ). “That fusion already partially exists. ( 171DNAI ) When
it is consummated, the mental goal of harmony through conflict will be superseded
by the inflow of love ( love is paramount quality of the Soul which demonstrate
as Wisdom ), working with power ( 1st Ray Soul ) through the
brain ( Saturn ) and ( incidentally ) your general physical health will
speedily improve”.
- His Astral body was upon the 2nd Ray of Love-Wisdom
giving him understanding and harmlessness. The emotions were not interfering
with his judgment ( Venus in Aquarius in the 10th
house quincunx Saturn, Mars square Saturn ). But the combination of a 4th
Ray Mental body and a 2nd Ray emotional vehicle required careful
watching ( 168DNAI ) so as to preserve the 1st
Ray balance as he grew older and tendencies crystallise into habits. The
only way to do this is to deepen and establish the soul contact (
1st Ray Soul ).
- His Physical body was on the 7th Ray of Ritual
and Magic. It gave him the ability to organise and rule. The planets associated
with physical body are Moon, Mars and Saturn. Moon veils Uranus (
7th Ray ) and is also orthodox dispositor of Saturn. Saturn
is conditioned on personality level by the 7th Ray and is placed
in Cancer which transmits 7th Ray. Uranus is esoteric dispositor
of Mars. The 1st house is also associated with the physical body.
It is ruled exoterically by Venus in Aquarius and again Uranus is the orthodox
dispositor.
- His Soul energy was focussed in his physical body, thus
bringing together the energy of the 1st Ray Soul and the force
of the 7th Ray Brain. So there is a direct alignment between
Soul ( Venus ) and Brain ( Saturn ) but this must
be deepened and utilised ( Venus quincunx Saturn ).
- His 2nd Ray personality was focussed in his
4th Ray Mind ( Mars trine Mercury )
- TRIANGLE Moon/Sun/AS
- For JWK-P the triangle is Taurus/Pisces/Gemini. We see
the process from attachment to form ( Taurus )
through detachment from form ( Pisces ) leading to the fusion of Soul and
form through the Antahkarana ( Gemini ). From a form fashioned anew and
irradiated by light and materialisation of the vision (Taurus
) to renunciation and response to the need of humanity ( Pisces )
leading to resolution of duality into synthesis ( Gemini ). From subconscious
habits of past lives ( Moon ) to conscious ego
( Sun ) leading to superconscious Soul ( AS ).
- The Moon is exalted in Taurus, making the form side of
life a powerful controlling factor. It veils, in this case, Vulcan so the
Moon here stands for the fashioner of the form, wherein the man has a different
attitude towards the form nature. Standing in the seat of the Soul, illumining
the form with the Soul light and invoking the spiritual will ( Vulcan ), desire is translated into directed purpose.
The form, instead of being used for selfish satisfaction of personal desire
is being used for higher spiritual purpose and so is esoterically “exalted”
or “raised up into Heaven”.
- The Moon is the orthodox ruler of
the 2nd house and so further emphasising the Taurean
energy of form, desire, spiritual will and light. The 2nd house
is the seed house of illumination, of values – material and spiritual and
so our priorities – the essentials and the non-essentials, resources and
treasures which we have brought from the past lives – the treasures of the
Causal body. It rules the Astral body and the Prana and use and control
of energy, the Throat centre, the Ajna centre.
- The Moon is also the orthodox ruler of the 3rd
house of practical intelligence, meditation, mental telepathy, breath, the
Antahkarana, the Throat centre, the Etheric body
- The Moon ( veiling Vulcan )
is the esoteric ruler of Virgo, ruling the 5th house of the creativity,
vitality, the Causal body, the Heart centre.
- The Moon is placed in the 12th house of unredeemed
past Karma, weakness, the unconscious.
- What we see here that the Moon in Taurus is relating
together three houses - 2nd, 3rd and 5th
through its orthodox and esoteric rulership.
- The focus of these three houses is on redemption and
purification of the form, values, telepathy, meditation, light, the Etheric,
Astral and the Causal body and the Throat, Ajna and Heart centres.
- JWK-P suffered from etheric devitalisation, lack of vitality,
lethargy and his physical activity was very much affected by this. The cause
of this problem was wrong meditation. He was asked to visualise (
Ajna ) the inflow of energy to the etheric centres, especially to
the Heart and the Throat. His body nature was so constituted that it responded
to spiritual healing ( meditation ) more than do
the bodies of the majority. His physical body was on the 7th
Ray, it means that the atoms of the brain, in particular, are coloured by
the 7th Ray energy. The 7th Ray conditions the vitality,
rhythm and the right organisation of time. All these were a great problem
for him. He was asked to conserve his strength because he worked a long
periods without rest and relaxation, lacking balance ( Uranus in Libra ). We see here the impediment in the
circulation of the pranic currents through the etheric body ( Moon veiling Vulcan ) and imbalance in the rhythm (
7th Ray ) of the breath ( 3rd house ). This is connected
with the stage in meditation called Contemplation (Libra ruling the 5th
house ) and the intervals in the process of Breath called
Interludes ( ruled by the 7th Ray ). His major problem was that
he lacked Joy ( his first and most important keyword
). Joy is the quality of the Heart ( Jupiter, hierarchical
ruler of the 5th house ) and it was the Heart centre which needed
to be strengthened by the inflow of the energy. It also required the invocation
of spiritual will ( Vulcan ) and consciously to deal with the cause of the
problem ( meditation). The problem is related to the past life Karma ( 12th house , Saturn in Moon decanate of Cancer),
where the meditation was either made difficult or hindered ( Saturn in the
3rd house ) and the light was blocked ( Taurus ). It could have
been a life spent in a seclusion ( monastery ?
) and a wrong decision of how to use the creative power of the Soul ( Saturn
is the hierarchical ruler of the 5th house ) led to the wrong
turning upon the Path ( Saturn in Cancer, ruling the 9th house
of the spiritual Path ). Further indication of the Karmic link is seen from
the Moon square the Nodes in 3rd /9th house polarity
( meditation/Path ) in Leo/Aquarius ( vitality/Etheric
body ). Neptune, the orthodox ruler of Pisces ( weakness
) is placed in the 12th house ( seclusion, unredeemed Karma),
in Saturn decanate of Taurus ( light, vision ). It rules esoterically the
2nd ( prana ) and 3rd house ( meditation,
breath ) and exoterically the 11th house ( Etheric body ). It
is semisextile Chiron ( wound ) and sextile the Sun (
vitality ). Neptune is also parallel the Nodes, indicating
past life of spiritual orientation and of devotional even fanatical (
6th Ray ) following. Neptune is quincunx
Mars ( 6th Ray ), echoing this devotional,
one – pointed focus. 6th Ray could have been the Ray of his
Astral body. Neptune is conjunct Juno, indicating either a spiritual relationship
or we could speculate that a sexual relationship could played a part in
his wrong turning on the Path ( Neptune sextile Saturn ). Juno is conjunct
Algol ( female passion, intensity, compulsion to take a revenge )
further indicates that relationship could have been his downfall. The energy
involved is very much 6th Ray ( intense passion – Mars/Scorpio
) and the other planet transmitting 6th Ray is Mars retrograde
( going over unfinished business ) in Libra ( relationship ) in the 5th
house ( love affair ). Saturn, the hierarchical ruler of Libra and dispositor
of Mars is in the 3rd house ( brothers,
sisters ). Could this person now incarnated as his brother or sister to
resolve this very painful but important karmic issue ?
That it was not easy we see from Mars square Saturn. The Juno conjunct Neptune
and both square Venus and quincunx Mars indicates that relationships in
this life were based on spiritual values but carried with them idealism
and some degree of unreality and pain.
- The Moon is semisquare both, the Sun ( vitality ) in
Pisces ( weakness ) in the 11th house ( the Etheric body ) and
Chiron ( wounded healer ) in Gemini ( the Etheric body ) in the 1st
house ( physical body ). Chiron in connection with health is related to
Virgo. Virgo rules the 5th house ( vitality
). Chiron ( wound ) square the Sun (vitality). These dynamics
further support the etheric devitalisation and physical lethargy he suffered
from.
- The Moon in Taurus and the three houses connected through
its orthodox and esoteric rulership are also related to his work of organising
( 7th Ray Saturn in the 3rd
house ) financial support ( Moon in Taurus, orthodox ruler of the 2nd
house, Saturn ruling the 8th house ) for the NGWS ( 11th
house ). He was told the harmlessness ( 2nd
Ray ) and the radiance of Love will release the financial supply. But it
was energy of Love in its dynamic or electric form ( the
Will aspect of Love which the Christ will use when He comes ) ruled by the
Heart within the Head ( ruled most probably by Vulcan through his relation
to 2nd Ray and the Heart of the Sun ). As Joy is related to the
Heart so Bliss is related to the Heart within the Head. He was told not
to lay emphasis upon the Will ( which he has in full supply as a 1st Ray
Soul ) but express the radiance of Love.
- The Moon rules also the Brain. He was told that ritual
( 7th Ray ) aids the process of visualisation
( Ajna ), Moon is quintile Venus ( Ajna ). Visualisation is the 1st
step for him to bring about the fusion (Gemini )
between the Mind ( Mercury, 4th Ray ) and the Brain ( 7th
Ray Brain ), Moon is sextile Mercury. He was asked not to work consciously
as a Soul from Soul levels ( that would bring too
much of the Shamballa force ) but use the building energy of the 2nd
Ray personality and the 7th Ray Brain through which the 1st
Ray Soul is expressing. Moon most probably veils Uranus and thus indicating
mental polarisation and most of his work being done upon the mental plane.
We can see that Moon is very important planet in the chart and is one of
the planets conditioning the 3rd initiation.
- The second point of the triangle is the Sun in Pisces,
placed in the 11th house of the Group work.
- The Sun is in the 3rd /6th decanate
of Pisces, indicating the mental body/plane or the Initiate, the Head centre
and the Heart within the Head ( 2nd Dwad of 3rd decanate
).
- The 3rd decanate of Pisces is ruled by Mars,
the planet of beneficial fusion, in this case the fusion of the Personality
with the Soul. It represents here the final effort or struggle to conquer
the personality ( which is also ruled by Mars )
and also the personality’s last fight for survival. This battle is being
fought upon the mental plane. The decanate ruler indicates the next step
ahead to be taken upon the Path. We have a hint here that he was facing
the 3rd initiation ( Mars is the other
planet conditioning the 3rd initiation ). We could take Vulcan
as the subjective ruler of the decanate which would emphasise the glorification
through purification and detachment from matter ( Moon in Taurus ) and the mastery of the spiritual will
which is the power of persistence and dynamic purpose. When this is achieved
then the disciple is characterised by isolated unity
( detached attachment ) and synthetic expression. He was told that
his personality detachment ( 2nd Ray vice is coldness ) must develop into
deeper attachment to the Soul within form and must seek the middle way (
Mars in Libra ) that of detached attachment. His will also must be more
dynamically used ( 1st Ray Soul, Vulcan
). He had courage, strength, endurance and he was hard-working and trusted.
In times of hardship he didn’t waver but went forward with determination
and one-pointed Egoic purpose. When superimposing Vulcan ( as the subjective ruler ) on Mars ( the objective ruler
) we have a powerful driving force which can eliminate all obstacles standing
in the way ( this is supported by Mars contra-parallel Pluto ). He was hard
and ruthless when dealing with people who were not up to his standard of
perfection. He was told that the 1st Ray force must deal with
circumstance and must not make its impact upon personalities. It is needed
to force the issues and determine results but not to shatter and to hurt
( 170DNAI). One – pointed, directed effort can
achieve results in spite of world conditions ( 167DNAI
).
- The Sun rules Leo ( 4th
house ) on all three levels. We have already discussed the link between
the 4th and 11th houses in relation to his work for
the NGWS and the Ashram.
- AS, the third point of the triangle, is ruled by Gemini,
in the middle decanate ruled by Mars. The objective here is to unify the
personality with the Soul and Mars effort is applied to bring this about,
with one-pointed devotion and by establishing relation between the pair
of opposites.
- Mars in Libra is indicative of the need to establish
psychic equilibrium which will keep the temper and quick reaction in check
and bring emotional stability and to eliminate personal attachment to ideas
( Pluto in Gemini ). Pluto in Gemini also indicate
the death of separative instinctual nature which lies behind all dualism.
It dissolve the separative relation between Soul
and personality.
- Gemini indicates sensitivity and skill in communication
and education and training. It is a sign of the mediator and intermediary
( together with Pisces ). His job as a sensitive
intermediary was to sense the new emerging realities and create the forms
which these subjective ideas must utilise. To blend the wise methods of
the present with the vision ( Ajna ) of the newer
types of work. To educate the public opinion in the new principles such
as non-separativeness. He was told to be sensitive to the new emerging factors
and to the people whose task was to precipitate the new group activities
( Uranus, hierarchical ruler of 11th
house ). Gemini is involved in building the Antahkarana and telepathic work
of inner linking of energies and centers of force. He (
as a member of a group ) was very much involved in the work of building
a school of telepathy upon the inner planes which later Humanity can become
sensitive.
- Venus, through its orthodox, esoteric and hierarchical
rulership is linking together Taurus, Virgo, Libra, Gemini and Capricorn.
The combination of these signs produces those conditions which enable the
initiate to take the 3rd initiation. Venus (5th Ray)
is in the 10th house ( Capricorn ) quincunx
Saturn gives further indication that he was being prepared to take the 3rd
initiation.
- Rigel is conjunct the Gemini AS emphasises further his
extensive knowledge which he was sharing with others and using it in training
and educating workers of the NGWS and aspirants.
- TRIANGLE: Sun/AS/Monadic Point
- For JWK-P it was Pisces/Gemini/Virgo. We see the process
from integrated personality sensitive to international and group issues
( 11th house ) to Soul-infused Personality sensitive to the needs
of Humanity and the vibration of the Ashram and the Master leading to the
sensitivity of the Spirit through the final revelation of hidden spiritual
reality - “Christ in you, the hope of Glory” ( Virgo ). We are told (
365EA ) that with Gemini AS, through the
activity of Jupiter ( as the hierarchical ruler of Virgo ) the man is able
to attain the conscious integration of Soul and Spirit and this indicates
the Initiate. The conflict which produces this stage is fostered by indirect
influence of Mars ( as the hierarchical ruler of
Sagittarius ). The Earth is also the hierarchical ruler of Gemini. All this
confirm that his next stage was that of integration of Soul-infused Personality
with the S. Triad ( the Monad ) and the importance of Mars ( as the decanate
ruler both, the Sun sign and the AS ). The Word of Power for the 1st
Ray is “I assert the Fact”. Virgo deals with facts and is associated with
the 3rd aspect of Divinity, that of Matter, Mother and the factual
knowledge. The Earth in Virgo is conjunct Alkaid ( the 1st Ray star of the G. Bear ). In his
last instruction he was told to handle the energy of Love in its dynamic
aspect ( The Will aspect of Love ) and then DK made an interesting comment,
“endeavour always to lay your emphasis ( 598DNAII ) not upon the Will –
of this latter quality you have ( FOR THIS INCARNATION ) an adequate and
full supply”. We know that the 1st Ray was his Soul Ray but
if the subjective ruler of his Pisces decanate was Vulcan and his Monadic
Ray was the 1st Ray then the comment would make sense.
