pp. 256—257 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
PHASE 313 (AQUARIUS 13°): A BAROMETER.
KEYNOTE: The ability to discover basic natural facts that allow us to plan in advance for action.
Here we are no longer dealing with ascent or descent, but with natural laws which involve causal relationships and the passage of one natural condition into another. The barometer registers air pressure, and a change of pressure today gives some indication of what the weather will be tomorrow. In a sense this is the modern scientific equivalent of archaic prognostication through omens. Likewise, animals grow a more or less thick fur in early autumn according to whether the winter will be more or less severe. Planning for the near future is a possibility because the potential (or seed) of the future is already operating at the core of the present.
This third symbol of the sixty-third sequence tells us that it is most important to seek—by whatever means and at whatever levels of consciousness—a knowledge of causal progression. In the broadest sense this implies an awareness of cyclic processes, and this includes astrology. The Keyword is ANTICIPATION.
Girlcapsule's —2¢:
For example, at about the age of 42 something happens in a common way. In recent years it has become referred to (by my peers,) as Uranus—Opposition. For a Douglas Adams fan who is also a total mystic—newbie full of questions and metaphysically adorable magical ponderings. At age 42ish you begin to wake up to a depth of personal wisdom that is opening also into a more collective alchemical cauldron that some call the process of globalization. My peers sometimes say {[or try to say ;):// Noösphere.
It is in these moments (speaking as one who has just "officially", in an astrological planetary-tracking sense, joined the Uranus—Opposition,) it seems to me I can experience myself as that spark thrown out from the Big Bang as a strange monkey—worm representative of what?
