Esoteric Astrology - The Science of Triangles - Triangles of Energy -
Constellations





At this time, I purpose to trace certain major conditioning
streams of energy, as they proceed forth from their emanating source - via certain
constellations and planets - to the Earth and, from within the radius of the Earth, reach
the individual disciple, again via certain major planetary [424] centers. In this way that
great Synthesis (which is qualified Life in appearance or manifestation) can be seen in
definite activity, producing solar, planetary and individual effects and thus
demonstrating that intricate relation which unites the human atom to the great Lives Who
are the sumtotal of that which is manifested.The analogy between the microcosm and
macrocosm will, therefore, be helpful, and the relation of a cell or atom in one of the
abdominal organs (for instance) to the soul on its own plane will illustrate with accuracy
a still greater relationship and interplay. In this interplay of Lives and Their emanating
streams of forces and energies and in the major determining life activities of That in
which all forms - including the human - live and move and have their being is to be found
the inevitability of ultimate achievement, the unalterability of law and the expression
finally of divine unchangeable Purpose. In the evolutionary effects of this relation of
Life to Form is to be found also the undeviating way of an expanding, ever-unfolding
consciousness - whether it be macrocosmic or microcosmic. Hence, the Will of God moves the
worlds and the Love of God determines results.
In this
consideration of the basic Science of Triangles (I had well nigh said "in the contemplation
of the basic Science of Triangles," for that is what it necessarily should be if
understanding is to be the real reward of our efforts) the relation of the three basic
energies affecting our solar system and the predominant effect of one of them in any
cyclic expression in time and space must always be borne in mind. One illustration of this
normally emerges in our minds if it be remembered that in this world cycle in our systemic
manifestation it is the second or consciousness aspect (that of the second Logos)
which is the dominant [425] conditioning factor, which sets the note for evolutionary
development and which engrosses the attention of the evolving human units. This is the
case even when other factors are present and active. Therefore, all approaches to truth
and to knowledge must, in this cycle, be in consciousness. In another cycle such an
approach may be focused in the will or even in some already present but unrealized divine
attribute, for which we have as yet no name. All that any man can consequently bring to
the comprehension of life experience or to the understanding of such an occult science as
the Science of Triangles is a consciousness which is developed to a certain definite and
personal point of perception or awareness. This point of perception is itself dependent
upon individual unfoldment and also upon the state of awareness of humanity as a whole.
This connotes two different though interrelated conditions of perception.
Speaking
technically, perception and response or the activity of the perceiving, observing
consciousness - carried on through the medium of the mechanism of response - is dependent
upon the condition or "aliveness" of the centers or their quiescence. This is
true of a man galvanized into activity through his seven centers, of a planetary Logos
functioning through seven planetary centers, of a solar Logos functioning through still
greater centers of vibratory reaction, or still greater Lives, functioning through an
aggregate of solar systems. Upon this activity and its understanding depends the whole
science of astrology; in this statement I give you a clue which may some day revolutionize
the present approach to astrology.
The twelve signs of the zodiac fall into two groups of signs, and their related
synthesis has much to do with the Science of Triangles. They are: [426]
1. Seven
signs related to the unfoldment of planetary consciousness upon Earth and only
incidentally involving the fourth Creative Hierarchy, the Human Hierarchy.
2. Five
signs related to the unfoldment, in time and space, of the Human Hierarchy. These five
signs are of major conditioning importance and may be enumerated as follows:
Cancer
Leo
Scorpio
Capricorn
Pisces

These five signs are related in the planetary sense to the five great races of which
our present race, the Aryan, is the fifth. These five races, under the influence of the
five signs, produce the externalizations which are called the five continents - Europe,
Africa, Asia, Australia, America. These five continents are to the planetary Life what
five major endocrine glands are to the human being. They are related to five centers.
All these appearances, expressions of qualities and material evidences of life are the
symbols or outer and visible signs of inner and spiritual realities or of Life, whatever
you may mean by that term. For our purposes, we could define Life as the energy emanating
from certain great Lives Who stand behind our solar system as its life and source, much as
the Monad stands behind the appearance of a man upon the physical plane or of the soul
upon its own level. Man, it might be stated, is the expression of seven principles and of
the life expression or activity of five planes. In this 7 + 5 is to be found the clue to
the mystery of the seven and the five zodiacal constellations. [427]
