PHASE 267 (SAGITTARIUS 27°): A SCULPTOR AT HIS WORK.

KEYNOTE: The ability to project one's vision upon and to give form to materials.

At this stage we see the individual creatively expressing his own particular individuality. He takes the materials available in his social-geographical environment and shapes them so they reveal to other people something of his inner life and purpose.

This second phase in the fifty-fourth sequence is, as usual, in contrast to the first. The "flag-bearer" symbolizes the selfless representative of a collective tradition or of national unity; the "sculptor," on the contrary, represents man as a creative individual intent on making his mark upon society. This is a symbol off man's capacity to transform raw materials according to his personal vision—thus a symbol of SELF-PROJECTION INTO A WORK.



Girlcapsule's Response:

What a beautiful image for the day. I can't help noticing a nuance when one looks at this image and changes the anonymous sculptor into someone familiar. Try that. Who pops up? And, so I would amend the keynote to read: The ability to facilitate the process of drawing vision into our experience of the physical aspects of reality.
