THE PROPOSED CHART FOR CDP

When she passed on to the inner planes she was taking care of the children of the world. On page 33/DINA II we read: “ CDP is working continuously with the children of the world ( including those who died victims of the horrors of war ) …”

e/ The midpoint of Moon/Neptune, at 7 Leo 05 ( the orthodox and esoteric rulers of Cancer ) falls on the Manger.

f/ The Moon ( the orthodox ruler of Cancer ) and the esoteric ruler of the 4^th house ( the end of life/Ashram ) is placed in the 5^th house of children.

g/ The 4^th house is ruled by Virgo ( Mother/child ) and thus further emphasises the link to children, through the esoteric rulership of Virgo by Moon ( veiling Neptune ) and thus linking it to Cancer where the Moon is the orthodox ruler and Neptune the esoteric ruler.

h/ The 4^th house is also related to the hereditary memory of all previous incarnations and a family history, giving the form in which the Soul anchors itself. It deals with the issues of attachment/detachment to blood relations and thus the Solar Plexus centre. On page 517 we read: “ It is your love, your clinging possessive love for those you have gathered close around you in the karmic process of life, that hinders your loving them in the strong, true way…”

i/ The first decanate and the first Dwad ( the first 3 and 1/2 Degree ) of Cancer is the strongest Moon/Neptune energy of Cancer.

j/ The first decanate of Cancer is esoterically ruled by Venus – the emergence of the Mind as a tool of the personality, with its ability to discriminate and integrate the different parts of the personality.

CDP stands for COURAGE, DISPASSION, PURE LOVE

November 1931/DINA I/504,505

“Overcome fear, [ 2^nd Ray vice and 4^th test of Scorpio ] my brother; kill out suspicion and those vile children of fear – nervousness, foreboding, worry and that instant jumping to conclusions [ Aries ]which are dire and full of disaster. [ Moon in Scorpio is linked to Mars ( the orthodox ruler of the Aries Sun ) in Taurus by its rulership of Scorpio and Moon exaltation in Taurus. ]

Achieve that inner poise [ Libra rules the 5^th house of creative self-expression/children/Causal body. Its esoteric ruler, Uranus is square Moon in the 5^th house ] which faces all that comes in the light of the Eternal.

You are immersed [ water/emotions ] so oft in the terror [ the dispositors of the Scorpio Moon, Mars/Pluto are in a wide conjunction on the cusp of the 12^th house ( fear/weakness ).Venus, the exoteric ruler of the 12^th house, conjunct Mars in the 12^th house ] of the moment ( yes, terror is the word I wish to use ) that the astral turmoil [ Scorpio/6^th Ray ] permits not the clear light of truth [ Jupiter, esoteric ruler of the 9^th house ( wisdom/truth/higher mind ) in Sagittarius ] and of knowledge to shine in. [ Jupiter opposition Venus/Mars ] Both are yours.

You are wise and experienced in many ways.[ Jupiter trine/sextile the Nodal axis ( wheel of past/future incarnation ) and its esoteric rulership of the 9^th house ( wisdom ) and its exaltation of the Cancer AS. Strong Taurus and Sagittarius ( accumulation of knowledge ) ]

Sympathy, understanding, [ 2^nd Ray ] loyalty [ 6^th Ray ] to the cause of occult truth( 5^th Ray ) [ the esoteric rulers of AS/MC ( Neptune/Pluto ) and the Sun ( personality ), all in the 11^th house of group/Ashramic cause/ideal. Sun trine Uranus in the 3^rd house ( the occult mind ) and Neptune ( 6^th Ray personality planet, quincunx Jupiter ( the 2^nd Ray Soul planet ) ] and steadfast endeavour [ Saturn in the 9^th house ( path of Dharma ) ] ( plus selfless thought ) are yours and these qualities are recognised. How else your inclusion in this group of mine?

But much hindrance come through fear. [ Moon in Scorpio, Saturn in Pisces, strong 12^th house and the water triangle of Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces. ]

Etheric weakness also exists [ Uranus in Leo ( vitality ) in the 3^rd house ( Etheric body ) trine Sun ( ruler of Leo ) in the 11^th house ( Etheric body ). Sun conjunct Chiron and Neptune ( weakness ), Moon ( veiling Vulcan ), related to the circulation in the Etheric body, is square Uranus ( eratic/non-rthythmic circulation of prana ). Prana is related to the 2^nd house ( where Moon is the orthodox ruler ) and Taurus ( where Uranus is in detriment ). Gemini and Aquarius also rule the Etheric body and the Venus in Gemini, in the 12^th house ( weakness ), opposition Jupiter ( esoteric ruler of Aquarius ) in the 6^th house ( health ) point to a weakness/fatigue. This is further emphasised by Venus/Jupiter orthodox rulership of the 6^th/12^th houses ] and I suggest to you that in your meditation work you imagine to yourself the pouring in of divine energy ( which is a creative function, my brother ) and that you send it on a mission to the etheric counterpart of the spleen. [ the planet Earth ( Spleen ) is in the 5^th house ( vitality ) and sesqui-quadrate Venus and Venus is semisquare the Sun. Transiting Saturn was in square to the natal Sun/Earth in December 1931 ]

Visualise not the physiological organ but the etheric area surrounding it and picture it as bathed in pure golden prana. [ employment of Ajna ( Venus ), Venus semisquare Sun ( golden prana ). The transiting Jupiter trine the natal Sun in November 1931 and in the same month the progressed Moon conjunct the progressed Jupiter in Sagittarius ( vision ), in the 6^th house ( health ).

June 1933/DINA I/505,506,507

Part of your life trouble has been that not only have the physical [ Moon/Mars ] and the etheric [ Uranus ] bodies been too loosely combined, tending, therefore, to a devitalised condition; [ Moon square Uranus ]

the integration between your mental body [ Mercury/Venus/Saturn ] and your emotional or astral body [ Mars/Neptune ] has also been very poor. Lately, you have changed that condition and your mind and your astral body are now integrated. [ see points 12/13 above/justification of the chart ]

When we are considering which planet is being veiled by the Moon, we have the indication here or possibility of the veiled Neptune being taken over or substituted by Uranus due to the emergence of the Mental body into the seat of power and control.

It means that no longer will your astral body ( which walks in the veil of illusion ) be the dominant and deciding factor in your experience – as has hitherto been the case – but that your mind nature will come increasingly into control and become the transmitter of illumination as you hold steadily upon your way. [ in 1932 transiting Saturn activated the T-Square of Venus/Mars/Jupiter/Saturn, the progressed MC semisextile the natal Saturn in July 1933 and semisextile the natal Venus in November 1933 and thus activating the natal Venus/Saturn square related to the Mental body ]

Take your mind away from all your personality problems [ transiting Uranus conjunct the natal Sun ( personality ) and ruler of the 3^rd house ( mind ), in 1932-3 ] and the problems of those with whom you have chosen to walk, in this incarnation, the path of life. [ Solar Eclipse on natal Saturn ( ruler of the 7^th house ( relationships with others ) in the 9^th house ( path of life ), in February 1933 ]

Each morning for five or ten minutes work with the art of visualisation – a creative art. Visualise [ Ajna/Venus ] to yourself a garden [ Taurus ] in disorder [ Neptune ] that you are restoring to order [ Ajna – organisation; Virgo – restoration ( Venus is in its fall in Virgo ) ] as the garden of your dreams.[ Neptune ] the progressed Neptune conjunct the progressed MC ( Dharma ) in April 1933 and transiting Neptune conjunct the Virgo IC ( foundation ) in August 1933.

See two things happen: there must be restoration, [ in June 1933 Uranus ( 7^th Ray/organisation ) entered Taurus ( garden ) remembering the goal of this exercise is to focus your attention in the region of the ajna centre of the pituitary body.[ transiting Uranus square the progressed Venus ( Ajna ) in 1933-4 ] There learn the power to organise.

The progressed Sun sextile the progressed Uranus and the transiting Saturn in aspect to both, and the Solar Eclipse on the progressed Uranus in August 1934, indicate the opportunity of establishing a new rhythm and release of new creative expression of the Soul ( Uranus is the esoteric ruler of the 5^th house of the Causal body ) through the agency of the occult mind ( Uranus in the 3^rd house, which the Sun rules on all levels )

When your problems descend upon you, when you are swept by an ancient habit [ Moon in Scorpio ] of thought [ Saturn in Pisces – past accumulated karma ] that you know to be wrong but which has as yet a rhythmic power [ 7^th Ray transmitted through Aries/Cancer/Capricorn ] over you, then retire into your garden and work there for a short while. It will aid you to break the power of ancient thoughtforms. [ transiting Uranus conjunct the Solar Arc Saturn 1934-6 ]

June 1934/DINA I/507,508

You are facing up to your crisis [ Saturn ] and to your final test [ Scorpio ]of fitness for accepted discipleship.[ progressed Mars trine progressed Saturn;]

Mars/Saturn are active in relation to Scorpio/Capricorn and the Path of Accepted Discipleship; Mars is the dominating factor ( 209EA ) in the tests and trials of the disciple, prior to the experience in Sagittarius and the initiation in Capricorn. It now rules not only the physical body but the whole personality ( doubly emphasised here by the Moon in Scorpio )

Mars is in its detriment, in the critical 29 Degree, Capricorn decanate of Taurus ( esoterically ruled by Saturn ) and thus making the Mars/Saturn square even more powerful. It points to a fight/war with appetites ( the Mars opposition to Jupiter in the 6^th house points to overindulgence as a possible health issue, especially that Mars is also the ruler of the 6^th house ) and the need for control/discipline ( Saturn ). Mars placement in the 12^th house indicates unredeemed karmic issues brought from past lives.

Mars is the dominant factor ( 209EA ) in the tests and trials of the disciple, prior to the experience in Sagittarius and the initiation in Capricorn. The 6^th Ray energy of Mars ( that of blood relations ) must be transmuted into 6^th Ray energy of Neptune ( that of life ).

Saturn ( associated with fear wherever is found in the chart ) is placed in Pisces ( sign of fear ). It is considered unfortunate position because one has to face everything what one accumulated in past lives ( Saturn is a karmic planet, placed in the last sign ).

Saturn rules the 7^th house of relationships and 8^th house of relinquishment and detachment and is placed in the 9^th house of vision/truth/higher mind.

Moon is in its fall in Scorpio points to a death of desire/personality and is the archetypal placement for the 2^nd initiation. Its position in the first degrees of the second decanate ( related to emotional body ) of Scorpio is related to the fourth test, that of fear.

Moon is the orthodox ruler of the proposed Cancer AS, indicating strong emotional sensitivity and attachment for loved ones/family, and is the orthodox ruler of the 2^nd house of spiritual/material values/the treasures of the Causal body and the esoteric ruler of the 4^th house of the hereditary memory of all the previous incarnations and family history/Ashram.

Moon is planed in the 5^th house of creative self-expression/children/talents of the Causal body.

If we try to establish what was her final test of fitness for accepted discipleship, we are led to the test of fear. Fear for those she loved and has gathered around her through karmic relationships over many lives and she felt she needed to take care of them emotionally and financially. She was materially well off ( a rich family ) and had no occupation/career, so all her energy/time/thoughts were focussed on those she loved. The energy of accumulation is indicated also behind her health issues, pointing to overindulgence. But she shared what she had with others and helped financially ABB and the Tibetan’s work.

Her test was to release the fear through the pure love ( one of her keywords ) of the Soul and love those she cared about as Souls not as personalities, because only through detached impersonal soul love she will find release.

We can see that this final test was related to the Solar plexus/6^th Ray/Astral body and thus the 2^nd initiation. That this test was preordained by the Soul is indicated by the progressed Vertex opposition the natal AS in October 1934.

The Solar Arc Neptune square the natal Nodes axis and the impending Saturn return due next year, add to the importance/significance of the test.

This is not the time for further words,[ Mercury ] for it is the time in which you must take action.[ Mars ] The progressed Mars approaching the square to the natal Mercury.

You say to yourself time and time again; “ If there were some one thing I could do to break the prison of thought in which I find myself, how easy it would be and quickly I would do it. “ [ Saturn in Pisces square Venus in the 12^th house ( prison ) ]

Talk less [ Venus in Gemini ] and love more.[ the Solar Arc Mercury square the natal Saturn in January 1934 and conjunct the natal Venus in June 1934 ]

Will you understand me when I say that symbolically and psychologically your fight must be fought our in your garden? [ the Solar Arc Moon opposition the progressed Mars and sextile progressed Saturn ]

Meditate therefore upon love.[ the Solar Arc Mercury conjunct the natal Venus ]

Silence,[ 12^th house – silence imposed by seclusion ] serenity and loving service [ Jupiter in the 6^th house of service ] to all, without exception and without thought of self – these should be the keynotes of your life during the coming months.[ the Solar Arc Venus trine the natal Jupiter in June 1934 ]

Restlessness and resentment, self-pity and suspicion are your present problems. [ vices of the 2^nd /6^th Rays and Scorpio/Cancer ] Substitute love for these and all will be well. [ the progressed Sun semisquare the natal Neptune in June 1934 ]

January 1935/DINA I/508,509,510

The ancient habits of thought and the quick submerging by the old rhythms are still possible; [ the progressed Moon ( ancient habits ) opposition the natal AS in December 1934 ]

you are oft profoundly discouraged by the cropping up of the hydra of resentment and of suspicion with its many heads. [ Moon in Scorpio; the Solar Arc Moon square the natal Mercury in January 1935 ]

The fight is not yet over,[ the Solar Arc Mars square the natal Mercury in June 1935 ] but by May 1936, you should have reached a point, where the sense of inner freedom [ the progressed AS conjunct the natal Uranus in January 1936 ] will be so strong that you will realise that the things which affect the personality and which come from the point of development and from the lack of control of the personalities with which you are associated will fail to exert any real power over you.[ the transiting Saturn ( ruler of the 7^th house ( personal relationships ) conjunct the natal MC from March to December 1935, indicating control/detachment from the personalities of others. In December 1935 there was a Solar Eclipse on the 7^th cusp, bringing into focus the personal relationships.

You will be fast attaining the attitude of the Observer, of the one who looks on – knowing himself to be the controlling soul. [ the transiting Saturn entering the 10^th house ( higher mental plane ); transiting Uranus conjunct the natal Neptune ]

Your problem is not this or that circumstance in your life. It is not concerned with the activity of this or that person. It is not tied up with your family life, your financial circumstances or your health. These are but the staging around which you struggle for liberation. These are but the opportunities offered by your soul which, when rightly used, will set you upon the Path of Initiation. [ she is a pledged disciple on the point of becoming an accepted disciple, ready to tread the Path of Initiation in preparation for the 2^nd Initiation.

The three planets ( Venus/Jupiter/Neptune ) related to the 2^nd Initiation are strongly emphasised in her chart. We could relate Venus to the Throat centre, Jupiter to the Heart centre and Neptune to the Solar Plexus centre.

The Jupiter ( Soul Ray planet ) quincunx Neptune ( the esoteric ruler of the AS and also the Personality Ray planet ) is a very significant aspect, bringing into relation the Solar Plexus and Heart centres and particularly as she was astrally focussed and it was the love energy which would set her free.

The transmutation of the energies from the S. Plexus to the Heart is going on from after the 1^st initiation until the 3^rd initiation but the focus is at the 2^nd initiation.

You know well within yourself that if you could achieve detachment and if you could arrive at a stable, focussed mind that the whole of life would simplify for you. [ control of the strong 6^th Ray energies is needed and the achievement of the stable mind is emphasised by the progressions to Mercury. In December 1934 the Solar Arc Neptune conjunct the progressed Mercury; In January 1935 the Solar Arc Moon square the natal Mercury and in June 1935 the progressed Mars square the natal Mercury. Solar Eclipse on the progressed Mars ( Solar Plexus ) in June 1935 ]

Your health problem is rooted in your astral condition. [ Mars ( related to the Astral body ) is in Taurus ( sign of accumulation/appetites ) and is the orthodox and esoteric ruler of the 6^th house of health. ]

Your mind, as a result of the glamour, [ Mars/Neptune – 6^th Ray ] may be ever restless and shifting, [ Mercury in Aries/Uranus in the 3^rd house ] but the glamour is the result of potent emotional thinking [ Saturn in Pisces square Mars in Taurus in the 12^th house ] and of a prolonged attentiveness [ Taurus ] to the circumstances of your physical plane life.[ Mars/Saturn ] This is an interesting comment and astrologically not very easy to define.

Mercury in Aries is a strong esoteric placement, giving the initiation/contact to original/new ideas of the higher mental plane. But the exoteric dispositor of Mercury, Mars ( 6^th Ray/glamour ), is in the 12^th house ( prison/weakness/fear/unconscious or fearlessness/liberation/ ), in Taurus ( accumulation/staying power/appetites or light/illumination/throat centre ).

Saturn ( also related to the Mind ) is in Pisces ( weakness/fear or strength of redemption/healing ), in the 9^th house ( vision/higher mind ) and square Mars in the 12^th house.

Neptune ( 6^th Ray/glamour ), the exoteric dispositor of Saturn, is also in Taurus, in the 11^th house ( social life/friends or group work/group consciousness ).

Neptune conjunct ( even though widely, it still applies ) the Sun, ruler ( on all levels ) of the 3^rd house ( lower concrete mind/restlessness or telepathy/antahkarana ).

Sun trine Uranus ( planet of occultism/freedom ) in the 3^rd house ( the occult mind or erratic/restless mind ). This is a powerful aspect due to the Sun being the dispositor ( on all levels ) of Uranus and Uranus is the Hierarchical ruler of Aries.

Uranus is the exoteric ruler of the 9^th house and square the Mars/Neptune midpoint at 15 Taurus 53. The mind is strongly coloured by the glamour of the 6^th Ray energy.

Venus ( also related the mind ) is in Gemini ( strong esoteric placement ) is good for bridging the Soul/personality, building the Antahkarana and expressing/communicating the word/love of the Soul; but it also likes social contacts and loves to talk ( and CDP loved to talk because DK told her to talk less and love more ).

Venus is the exoteric ruler of the 12^th house and is also placed in the 12^th house. We can relate to this placement ( and the Venus square to Saturn in Pisces ) her statement on page 507: “ If there were some one thing I could do to break [ Pluto, the esoteric ruler of Pisces ] the prison [ 12^th house ] of thought in which I find myself, how easy it would be and how quickly I would do it.” We see that if she used the higher/esoteric energy ( Pluto ) she could easily do it.

Venus is the exoteric dispositor of all the Taurus planets ( Mars/Neptune/Pluto ), it is exalted in Pisces ( and thus doubly related to Saturn, plus Venus/Saturn square is the closest aspect in the chart ) and is in detriment in Aries ( and thus related to Mercury ) and accidentally dignified in the 12^th house through its exaltation.

Venus is the decanate ruler of the proposed AS ( emergence of the mind as discriminating/integrating principle ) and is also parallel the AS.

We can say that Venus ( 5^th Ray Mental body ) emerges as a very powerful planet in relation to the mind ( and also to the Soul ).

By attempting to synthesise the above points we could say that behind the powerful mental energy and strongly conditioning it, is a powerful 6^th Ray ( the most potent conductor of glamour ) energy, coming through Mars/Neptune/Pisces ( we would also need to include here the Scorpio Moon and Cancer AS ).

Uranus in the 3^rd house ( the occult mind ) semisquare the AS, square the Moon and trine the Sun is a strong energy to be used to release the glamour and achieve detachment.

It is by using the esoteric rulership ( and eventually the hierarchical rulership ) that the energies are lifted from the lower to the higher planes/consciousness.

We could see the difficult test she was facing and the sea of glamour she was immersed in. But it is only by control over the glamour ( or at least great part of it ) she can pass the 2^nd initiation. That is why this initiation is the hardest to take because after that the initiation process is greatly speeded up.

The same attentiveness and potency of thought, directed away from your circumstances and to the things of the soul, will free you. [ the need to shift the level of focus and so the process towards the mental polarisation ]

Build in your garden[ Taurus/Venus ] an ivory tower[ higher mental plane ] and from the summit [ MC ] of that tower survey your life each day. [ Transiting Saturn conjunct its own place ( second Saturn return ) in March 1935 and square Venus/Mars/Jupiter ]

Build it until the time of the Full Moon of May and then at the time of the Wesak Festival and for the three days of that Festival live in your tower and there abide.[ transiting Saturn conjunct the progressed Saturn and the natal MC, in May 1935 ( conjuncting the natal MC exactly on the day prior the Full Moon ).

There is oft a mist [ Neptune/Astral plane ] in your garden, but on top of the tower there is sunlight,[ clarity/detachment ] space [ wide vision ] and air.[ Higher mind/Buddhi ] There I can meet with you [ Master works only on the Mental/Buddhic plane ] if you rightly build and learn the method of ascent ( building of the Antahkarana from the lower mind ( mental unit ) to the higher mind ( mental p. atom )

The transiting Saturn square the natal Venus in Gemini, in March 1935 and The Solar Arc Mars square the natal Mercury in June 1935 ( both, Mercury and Venus are related to building the Antahkarana ).

July 1935/DINA I/510,511,512,513,514

Your sane humility [ elevated Saturn in Pisces ] is a great asset, provided you do not give way to self-depreciation [ Sun conjunct Neptune and Chiron ]

A spirit of criticism [ Mercury semisquare Pluto; 5^th Ray Mind ] My brother, this one factor lets in more glamour into a disciple’s life and into your life than you can realise. Consequently, you frequently fail to see people as they really are, for you see them through the illusion induced by criticism of them. Right here for you – as for so many – lies the usual point of entry for glamour and until opening is sealed, you will not be free from personal glamour. [ the progressed Pluto semisquare the natal Mercury within an orb for a few years ]

Suspicion.[ Cancer/Scorpio Moon ] Suspicion ever lies,[ Neptune ] but lies with such apparent truth [ Jupiter ] that it seems only correct and reasonable.[ Jupiter quincunx Neptune ] This tendency you have fought for long, and a good measure of success is attending your efforts. [ the progressed Vertex trine the natal Neptune in July 1935; the Solar Arc Venus square the natal Neptune in September 1935 ]

Give not to suspicion; but be careful not to cast it away from you into the hidden depths of yourself, whence again it must inevitably raise its head [ Scorpio Moon ]

January 1936/DINA I/514,515

You are now entering a period of crisis.[ the Solar Arc Saturn conjunct the natal Neptune in January 1936 and the transiting Uranus is making a conjunction to it in the same month; the transiting Saturn conjunct the MC and re-enters the 10^th house in February 1936 ]

The crisis ( which may focus itself in some aspect of your personality ) must be regarded by you as an indication of a strenuous effort on the part of your soul to bring about a large measure of liberation [ the progressed AS conjunct the natal Uranus in January 1936 ] before the May Full Moon.

I tell you also assuredly that – for you – the cultivation of harmlessness is the guarantee of a constructive outcome to your crisis this coming spring. [ transiting Jupiter opposition the progressed Sun and trine the natal Sun would aid this ]

Now the sun is again moving northward and there comes for you renewed opportunity [ transiting Saturn over the MC/10^th house ]and the possibility of a powerful period of release from your lower nature and from the claims which hold you so potently. [ the Solar Arc Mars ( the astral body ) conjunct the progressed Venus ( the mental body ) in January 1936 and the transiting Pluto ( release/relinquishment ) making conjunction to it; transiting Saturn square the progressed Sun; the Solar Arc AS square the natal Mars in February 1936 ] Let go. Drop that which you hold. Stand free at any cost, relinquishing that which holds you back.

June 1936/DINA I/515,516,517,518

Your gentle nature [ Cancer ] and your loving unselfish attitude militate powerfully against what you yourself are inwardly recognising – a slowly growing spirit of criticism. [ the Solar Arc Pluto semisquare the natal Mercury still within 2 min. orb; the Solar Eclipse on the progressed Mercury in June 1936 ]

But you could help more definitely and consciously if you could free yourself from ties and begin to function in your home and in all your relationships as a sannyasin.[ the transiting Nodes conjunct the AS/DC axis in August 1936; transiting Jupiter conjunct the DC; the progressed Moon enters the 8^th house of renunciation/detachment, in September 1936

You have a persistence which is undaunted[ strong 6^th Ray energy; Mars in Taurus; ] and which has guided you from your early days until now. This persistence is the hall mark of the pledged disciple. [ the Solar Arc Jupiter trine the natal Mars in August 1936; Sagittarius ( one of the signs transmitting the 6^th Ray ) energy is normally strong in the charts of pledged disciples, indicating the one-pointed attitude/direction. In her chart Jupiter ( the Soul Ray planet ) is in Sagittarius and rules esoterically the 9^th house. During the year 1936 the transiting Jupiter is in Sagittarius, having just passed the conjunction to her natal Jupiter and in December 1936 is in opposition to the natal AS]

You have also an inner recognition of truth[ Jupiter in Sagittarius, esoteric ruler of the 9^th house of truth/vision ] and of the Plan [ 10^th house/Capricorn, Saturn in the 9^th house, conjunct the MC ] which is far greater than you suspect and which we tested out years ago.

What lacks is something most simple to state and most difficult to express. This lack almost constitute your Waterloo, to use a current phrase. It is simply the failure to be detached. [ detachment is achieved through the focus upon the higher mental plane ( being the Observer/Soul on its own plane – the mental polarisation ). We can say that the process of detachment starts with the steady/stable mind controlling the emotional nature. We know that she had a restless/shifting/unfocussed mind ( affected by glamour ) and so difficulty in controlling her astral body ( but she was making some progress ). The next stage ( after achieving a stable mind ) is for the Soul energy to illumined the mind which produces a clarity of vision and right discrimination. She lacked both of these qualities ( this is the purpose behind her building the ivory tower- the higher mental plane, and from its summit seeing things/people as they are in their essence – as Souls ).

She was told (520 ) that she is ( her 5^th Ray Mind ) analytical but not discriminating and one of her strongest glamours was the glamour of criticism. We see here the link between the restless/unfocussed mind – the failure to be detached –the lack of discrimination – the glamour of criticism.

Mercury ( mind ) has only one aspect, the semisquare to Pluto, which usually points to a critical mind. But the strong esoteric placement of Mercury in Aries indicates the opportunity to lift the focus of the mind upon the higher mental plane and its placement in the 10^th house ( mental polarisation ) indicates that she was in the process of stabilisation of the mind and heading towards the mental polarisation ( achieved at the midway point between the 2^nd and 3^rd initiation ), which lies one or a few lives away for her.

Even though there is no aspect between Mercury and Saturn there is a relationship established through the Mercury being in its fall in Pisces and Saturn being in its fall in Aries. The symbolism of the fall points to the fall of the lowest aspects/qualities of the mind.

The Mercury/Saturn relation contributed to the worry and depressions she suffered from but also helps to concentrate and stabilise the mind.

Saturn square Venus ( both planets can be associated with the Mental body ) makes the mind analytical but also critical through the combination of the 3^rd Ray ( Saturn ) and 5^th Ray ( Venus ). This aspect is significant also because these planets rule the 5^th house ( Libra/Venus ) and 7^th house ( Capricorn/Saturn ). She could see easily the faults of others - as personalities ( not as Souls ) and thus criticise them.

Venus strong esoteric placement in Gemini and in the 12^th house ( accidental exaltation ) and Venus exaltation of Pisces ( the placement of Saturn ) is shifting the energy to the Soul ( the Son of Mind ), further strengthened by Venus rulership of the first decanate of the Cancer AS and its parallel to the AS.

You tie yourself to those you love [ Cancer – Moon in the 5^th house ] and oft the clinging hands of love can hinder progress – not only our own but also that of those we love. Again, you tie yourself to certain people by thoughtforms of depression [ Saturn in Pisces, semisquare the Sun ( ruler of the 3^rd house ( lower mental ) and square Venus ( orthodox ruler of the 12^th house, in the 12^th house of psychic sensitivity/weakness/bondage ) and of suspicion. [ Cancer/Scorpio ] It is your love, your clinging possessive love [ Cancer/Taurus ] for those you have gathered close around you in the karmic process of life [ 4^th house of karmic family history, is ruled esoterically by the Moon ( veiling Vulcan/Neptune ) and Mercury is the orthodox ruler ] that hinders your loving them in the strong, true way…

What makes your lesson doubly hard is the lack of a major activity and a dynamic interest which would engross your full attention. [ she had no full time career, only family concern; the Pisces MC indicates helping/healing/caring for others, the rulers of Pisces ( Neptune/Pluto ) are in the 11^th house ( friends/social life/group work ); Jupiter, the other ruler of Pisces and the orthodox ruler of the 6^th house, is in the 6^th house of service and the other ruler of the 6^th house ( Mars ) is in the 12^th house of helping others less fortunate; Cancer AS, with the Moon in the 5^th house points to the care/love of children and taking the financial responsibility for them ( Moon ( ruler of the 2^nd house of money ) in Scorpio; the 4^th house ( related to the family ) is ruled by Mercury in the 10^th house – she felt that her family was her career]

Let not your physical body [ Mars ] dictate you. Physical disability is the refuge [ 12^th house ] sometimes for those who feel that their lives do not provide them with that which they desire, or it is the refuge of those who feel that they have failed upon the Way. You have not failed, my brother. [ Mars ( physical body ), the orthodox and esoteric ruler of the 6^th house of health, is in the 12^th house of seclusion. Its placement in the critical degree of Taurus ( appetites/desire ), conjunction to Venus ( orthodox ruler of Taurus ) and opposition to Jupiter ( orthodox ruler of the 6^th house ), in the 6^th house, points to overindulgence ( not only of appetites but also of desire and thus uncontrolled astral body ) She was told that the cause of her health problems lies in her astral condition ( 509 ) ] In November 1936 the Solar Arc Uranus sesqui-quadrate the natal Mars, indicating some disruption/problem with physical health.

Prior ( or around ) to the 2^nd Initiation there is feeling of deep dissatisfaction about things as they are and an agonising realisation of failure and it is at this point that the disciple begins to learn the uses of failure. The sign, mostly associated with failure is Scorpio and the refuge or escape from failure is the physical body, ruled by Mars ( orthodox and esoteric ruler of Scorpio ).

There is a relation ( even there is no aspect ) between the Scorpio Moon and Mars in Taurus, through the exaltation of Moon in Taurus and Mars rulership of Scorpio. There is a link between fear ( the 4^th test of Scorpio ), her health problems ( the physical body ), the astral body ( out of control ) and the feeling of failure.

You are not so deeply immersed [ astral body/plane ] in the fogs of glamour[ Neptune/Mars/6^th Ray ] though you are still held back by fear – not fear for yourself but needless fears for those you love. [ Cancer/Scorpio Moon ] In December 1936 the Solar Arc Neptune semisquare the natal Uranus

For the remaining years of your life lay the emphasis upon your spiritual responsibility[ Saturn ] and your spiritual effect[ Neptune, esoteric ruler of the Cancer AS ] upon all you contact, or with whom your lot is cast. The transiting Saturn enters Aries ( initiating process of spiritual responsibility ) and square the natal AS and the progressed Neptune in May 1937; the progressed Moon entered Aquarius ( group participation ) also in May 1937; the progressed MC ( Dharma ) sextile the progressed Saturn ( spiritual responsibility ) in March 1937;

You are learning fast, my brother, and can break through to a deepened and more realised knowledge [ the Solar Arc Pluto square the natal Sun, ruler of the 3^rd house of knowledge in January 1937 ] if you can train yourself in detachment from personality activity with its unwise speech or silences, its criticisms or its bolstering of that which is undesirable in others and its moments of agonised indecision, based on a fear which – in your case – is ever that of and for the personality aspect. [ the transiting Uranus conjunct the progressed MC from June 1936 to April 1937; transiting Saturn semisextile the natal Venus/Saturn square in June 1937;

Stand in steadfastness during this coming year and stand detached. Let not the lesser voices crowd out the voice of your soul or mine voice. Keep the channel clear. Break through, my brother, from the trammels of the past and be the true sannyasin…[ transiting Uranus opposition the natal Moon from June 1937 to April 1938; the Uranus progressed conjunct the progressed AS in May 1937 ]

July 1937/DINA I/520,521

Your mental body is on the fifth ray and, therefore, you have an intensely analytical mind. I would, however, remind you that you are analytical but not discriminating.[ we have already discussed this point but just to add that Uranus in Leo ( transmitting the 5^th Ray ), in the 3^rd house ( logical mind ), trine the Sun ( ruler of the 3^rd house and the dispositor of Uranus ), in Aries ( the mental plane/mental p. atom ), indicates 5^th Ray Mind.

Your astral body is governed by the sixth ray and is as yet largely subservient to the will of the personality. This leads you to devote yourself to your personality surroundings and to the conditions which karmically you have evoked.[ both, Mars and Neptune, could be related to the Astral body. They are placed in Taurus which is also associated with the Astral body/desire. Moon in Scorpio is also indicative of the Astral body, particularly in the second decanate of Scorpio ]

Mars, the exoteric dispositor of the Aries Sun ( personality ), square Saturn ( in its fall in Aries ). Saturn in Pisces and Mars in the 12^th house ( Pisces house ) bring in the 6^th Ray energy, transmitted through Pisces.

Neptune ( the exoteric dispositor of Saturn ) is conjunct the Sun and sextile Saturn in Pisces and Saturn semisquare the Sun.

The Sun is placed in the Sagittarian decanate of Aries, ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is in Sagittarius ( conductor of the 6^th Ray ) and is in opposition to Mars ( 6^th Ray ).

The ruler of the Sun decanate ( as given by DK ) is the Mars. The Mars opposition to Jupiter is thus a significant 6^th Ray aspect ( especially as both are the rulers of Sagittarius – Jupiter is the orthodox ruler and Mars the hierarchical ruler ).

Jupiter quincunx Neptune ( 6^th Ray ) closes the link/flow of the 6^th Ray, all related to the Sun.

We see that Mars is receiving the 6^th Ray from Pisces and Sagittarius through their link to the Aries Sun ( personality ).

The subservience of the Astral and Physical body to the personality ( also on the 6^th Ray ) through the 6^th Ray is evident, especially that both, the personality Ray planet ( Neptune ) and the Soul Ray planet ( Jupiter ) are involved in this 6^th Ray energies relation.

The involvement of Saturn in this 6^th Ray linkage is due to its karmic evocation of past relation through the personal relationships brought together in this life and thus through them to learn to control the 6^th Ray energy ( Saturn rules the 7^th house of relationships and the 8^th house of relinquishment/detachment ).

Your physical body is also on the sixth ray which makes it – and, therefore, your brain – predominantly the servant of your astral body but it also makes you intuitive or astral-buddhic. [ Mars is also ruling the physical body and so its placement in the critical 29 Degree of Taurus is very significant ]

The exaltation of Jupiter in the Cancer AS points to the 2^nd Ray Soul

It will be clear to you, therefore, that much of you problem can be summed up by the recognition of the relation existing between the personality, the astral body and the physical body. The physical body and the astral body are, therefore, automatically the servants of the personality. Yet the relation between the sixth and the second rays is so close that the problem of your soul is not insuperable in this life

January 1938/DINA I/521,522,523

The past few months have seen the working out of much inner tension. This has materialised upon the physical plane as a sense of real fatigue and has climaxed in a period of illness. [ the Solar Arc Neptune conjunct the natal AS and the transiting Saturn making a square to it in September 1937 ]

You have arrived at a new measure of detached freedom and to this freedom you now must hold. [ the Solar Arc AS square the natal Jupiter ( the Soul Ray planet ) in November 1937; the progressed Vertex sextile the natal Saturn and the Solar Arc Venus quincunx the natal Saturn in January 1938 ]

The dominant note which should rule your life during the next few months is to stand steadily in spiritual realisation. [ the progressed Neptune sextile the natal Saturn, within 2 min. orb for the next few months ]

You will have to see that old thoughtforms of fear and of worry do not resume their ancient sway and that old emotional reactions are not permitted to take form. [ the transiting Uranus opposition the natal Moon ( old thoughtforms of fear and worry ) ]

For you the word “ substitution, “ may prove of real help, enabling you to substitute a fresh and vital interest in the place of the old emerging ideas;[ the Solar Arc Mercury square the natal MC in December 1938 – indicates a new ideas/interest ]

and to substitute a definite physical plane activity in the place of emotional crisis;[ transiting Saturn square the progressed Mars and the Solar Arc Nodes on the natal Mars, in December 1938 ]

and to discipline your lower life into ways of joy and of happy activity. Joy[ Jupiter ] would prove for you a major healing factor. [ the Solar Arc Uranus semisquare the natal Jupiter in August 1938 – happy activity; Lunar Eclipse on the progressed Jupiter in May 1938 ]

See to it that during the next nine months you preserve an attitude of spiritual indifference or of divine carelessness and emotional detachment. [ the transiting Uranus square the natal and progressed Uranus, semisquare the natal AS and square the progressed AS ]

From the place wherein your physical plane life is lived, let there go forth that which can heal [ Chiron ] and bless.[ Neptune ] Nothing can stop this blessing; it speeds forth upon the wings of detachment and from a heart that has no care for itself; [ the Solar Arc Neptune in the 1^st house and the transiting Neptune in the 4^th house – physical life blessed; the transiting Chiron ( the healer ) conjunct the natal AS and the Solar Arc Neptune in June 1938 ]

January 1939/DINA I/524,525,526

A little more clear thinking and acceptance of the facts which you know about yourself will set you free.[ transiting Saturn conjunct the natal Sun in April 1939 – inferiority; Solar Eclipse opposition the natal Sun in October 1939 ]

Your problem is difficult. It is based upon the fact that you have a sixth ray personality, a sixth ray astral body and a sixth ray physical body. This constitutes a terrific combination of forces, but you assumed the responsibility of handling these forces in order to break the sixth ray hold which that type of energy has had on you for three lives in sequence. [ this indicates that she had a 6^th Ray personality for the past three lives ]

You have reached the age of sixty ( or is it a little more, my brother ? ) and have not yet broken it. Therefore your soul purpose has not yet been fulfilled.[ this indicates that she would have to come back in the next life with the same 6^th Ray personality ]

I seek to see you free before the time of passing over into the “ clear cold light “ comes to you. You have earned the right to your own soul’s freedom and expression. Will you take it now and free yourself, or will you muddle through the remainder of this incarnation and, in another life, have to face the identical problem of family relationships and financial responsibility? [ the transiting Uranus is making the last contact to the natal and progressed Uranus and natal and progressed AS in May/April 1939; the transiting Jupiter conjunct the natal MC in February 1939 ]

You do not express the reality which you are, upon the physical plane.[ the Solar Arc Jupiter ( the Soul Ray planet ) square the natal Neptune ( the Personality Ray planet ), in August 1939; the Solar Arc AS trine the natal Neptune in January 1939 ]

The thoughtforms which surround you drain you of vital force and yet, physically speaking, you have no organic trouble or disease. These thoughtforms sap your vitality and are definitely destructive – to yourself and to others.[ the transiting Saturn conjunct the natal Chiron in November 1939 ]

January 1940/DINA I/526,527

You have no particular glamour, for you live in a perfect sea of glamour.[ the powerful 6^th Ray force ]

Your glamours come to you from two sources. Your inferiority complex[ the Sun conjunct the Neptune and Chiron and semisquare Saturn ] keeps you in a state of glamour and is purely a personality reaction…and controls your life expression on the physical plane, plus the second glamour of physical disability.[ the T-Square Venus/Mars-Jupiter-Saturn ]

I would ask you to cease from the glamour of inferiority and pre-occupation with details which keep you always devitalised. Enter into the joy and strength of non-frustrated service [ transiting Saturn conjunct the natal Neptune and the progressed MC and opposition the natal Moon; the progressed Neptune sextile the natal Saturn ]
