pp. 68-69 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
PHASE 27 (ARIES 27º): THROUGH IMAGINATION A ALOST OPPORTUNITY IS REGAINED.
KEYNOTE: Revision of attitude and inner revaluation.
The second stage of a five-fold sequence of phases always reveals a contrast to the first, but not necessarily an opposition. This symbol makes it clear that the mind that has become overstimulated and obsessed by all it appears to be able to accomplish in some new realm of experience may easily fail.. The disciple fails in his test, or at least it seems to him that he has failed. Actually the "failure" may have been meant by his guru to be a challenge to the emergence of a new capacity; generally speaking, this capacity is what one calls "creative imagination." The mind must first "imagine" that which he will then be able sooner or later to actually experience.
At this stage it may be difficult to distinguish success from failure. Nothing may fail like success, people say. What counts is the development of UNDAUNTED FAITH in the pursuit of one's ideals.
