pp. 258-259 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
SCENE TWENTY-TWO: MANAGEMENT
(Aquarius 16° to Aquarius 30°)
PHASE 316 (AQUARIUS 16°): A BIG BUSINESSMAN AT HIS DESK.
KEYNOTE: The ability to organize the many aspects of an enterprise involving a large group of human beings.
A great deal of what is glowingly written about the Aquarian Age is probably sheer glamor. The New Age should be one in which man learns to use the power generated by human togetherness and group interplay—that is, to use it harmoniously for the welfare of the whole of which all individuals are parts, humanity and the planet Earth. This has never been achieved and only vary rarely attempted. Mankind today must make a thorough and irresistible attempt, or be nearly destroyed—except for a creative "remnant" of seed-persons who would have to begin again from new foundations. In the field of big business, of huge war undertakings (like the Normandy landing in World War II) or of major national efforts (like the Moon landings) great results have been achieved, but the motive and the quality of the human interrelationships involved were neither of permanent significance nor invested with a truly harmonic quality. The character of techniques used were totally unsatisfactory from a "human" point of view. Nevertheless there is much to learn from modern large-scale management and systems analysis, even in terms of personal endeavors of very limited scope.
This is the first stage in the sixty-fourth five-fold subcycle. It introduces the concept of management which is basic at this period of the cyclic life process which the zodiac symbolizes, yet which needs to be totally reevaluated if mankind is to actualize the spiritual potentialities implied in the evolutionary transformation just ahead. ORGANIZATION should be the Keyword, rather than mere "organization"; for humanity now can and should realize that it is indeed an "organism."
