p. 80 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
PHASE 45 (TAURUS 15º): HEAD COVERED WITH A RAKISH SILK HAT, MUFFLED AGAINST THE COLD, A MAN BRAVES A STORM.
KEYNOTE: The courage needed to meet the crisis precipitated by social ambition.
The man with the silk hat has see some of his ambitious efforts bring hime social success; but he learns that often "nothing fails like success." The storm may be within him, or it may attack his social status. He is ready to face it daringly. This shows a willingness to accept crises and to go through them––and therefore great character, the soil upon which a higher kind of consciousness may develop.
This is the fifth and final stage of this ninth five-fold sequence of symbols. It implies a transition to a new level at which the individual who has learned from experience demonstrates a truly mature mind. What is revealed here is CHARACTER under adverse circumstances.
Girlcapsule's––.02¢:
Oh, Rudhyar, what's this all about? I would have given up on this if I hadn't started things out of order. I am so intrigued to discover the next depthy layer cooked up in this manuscript archetypal, astrologically speaking. That is to say, the position of the planetary bodies as relative to each other from the perspective of Earth's 3rd-rock-out position from our Solar System's star. I'm so confused by you, Rudhyar.
