pp. 231-232 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
PHASE 274 (CAPRICORN 04°): A GROUP OF PEOPLE OUTFITTING A LARGE CANOE AT THE START OF A JOURNEY BY WATER.
KEYNOTE: The ability to use natural resources and basic skills in order to achieve a group-purpose.
As this scene was recorded in the original version only in imprecise terms, it seems merely to indicate the start of a journey undertaken by a cohesive group of people, who perhaps together have built this large canoe. Thus we see here a common enterprise which may be an answer to the need for a change of locality. A social group more strongly than ever reveals its homogeneity and common will when it decides to move away from its familiar habitat. The zodiacal sign Capricorn brings this common will to a focus in concrete actions. It does so in terms of socio-political expediency and under a definite type of executive direction, even though the decisions are arrived at by common consent.
As this is the fourth symbol in the fifty-fifth five-fold sequence, we find in it a hint of how to do something concrete. The "canoe" may also have a special technical meaning, as it uses water in order to move. A common feeling-response to a specific situation may be implied. The main emphasis is nevertheless on GROUP-ACTIVITY in circumstances implying a need for change.
Girlcapsule's Response:
I missed posting this symbol on the day when it was applicable, but wanted to provide some continuity for the readers following the chronological presentation as Rudhyar puts it forth.
