pp. 63-64 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
PHASE 18 (ARIES 18º): AN EMPTY HAMMOCK STRETCHED BETWEEN TWO TREES.
KEYNOTE: A constructive alternation of activity and rest.
The symbol refers to the ability to balance outer vitalistic activity and withdrawal from such activity and relaxation. The owner of the hammock is active, but in his consciousness he can hold the image of rest in the midst of reenergizing nature. The concept of following the rat race of business therefore has no hold. Potency may be preserved and extremes avoided. Time is found for recuperation.
This is a third stage symbol which suggests a middle path between total involvement in instinctual or social drives, and withdrawal in impotent silence and narcissism—thus LIVING RHYTHMICALLY.
