Sagittarius Full Moon

1. Sagittarius Full Moon

2. Why are we here? The time of the full moon is a time of celebration. We celebrate the energy of the SUN. The reason is that when the Moon is full it is the furthest from the Sun, thus the Sun’s energy is the strongest. Thus we celebrate the energy of the Sun through meditation and reflection.

3. All is Energy! For those of you who are not familiar with esoteric philosophy – or do not know it well – I will remind you that all is energy. Thus you should simply relax and try to feel the energy rather then concern yourself with understanding everything. During the lecture you can ask questions or make comments. After the meditation you may also ask questions.

16. So what happens when we put the mode of mutable together with the element of fire?

17. We get Sagittarius! As the ninth sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius represents the ninth stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. As Scorpio seeks to understand and control with emotional power, Sagittarius seeks to understand and control with knowledge. Most Sagittarians have an intellectual curiosity that covers a wide range of subjects. Never try to present Sagittarians with facts because they already have an unlimited supply which they gladly recite in rapid succession. They become bored and restless when surrounded by people or circumstances in which they have no interest. At such times, they find ways to disappear physically or mentally.

18. Sagittarius survival mechanism makes them vulnerable usually quite talkative adapt to changes

19. Before they take physical action, before they sort out the Before they assess the practicality or worth of what they are doing, before they sort out their true emotions, and before they take time to reason things out intellectually, their tendency is to shoot first and ask questions later. Sagittarians react physically to everything they experience in life. Communication-oriented Sagittarians are forever running around with energy and enthusiasm. They are independent and hard to pin down for long, and indeed, this is the sign of the bachelor. In one way or another even married Sagittarians seek to maintain some aspect of personal independence.

20. Sagittarius’s Astrological Symbol Sagittarius is symbolized by the Archer—half-man, half-horse. This symbolizes the Sagittarian’s attempt to free itself from man’s animal nature. The centaur is thought to symbolize the development of the human soul. It symbolizes the animal natures and desires of man, as well as its spiritual aspirations.

24. The Sagittarius Myth Chiron

25. the kindest and gentlest of the Centaurs Chiron was accidently shot with a poison arrow Prometheus made Chiron mortal so he could end his earthly existence and enter the heavens Chiron was immortal, with a wise and caring nature and a great ability to teach

26. How does this myth relate to the Sagittarius characteristics? Chiron’s wound is really the gap between the mortal, animal side of him and the immortal, god-like side. The reality of tangible, physical life is always imperfect, always in a way poisoned when compared to the vision he sees. He may try to avoid his wound, and throw himself into an endless running bout of escape from one excitement to another, striving always to avoid being alone with their thoughts. The Sagittarius who has the courage to face both his vision and the reality of his life is rare; but should he succeed, he is in truth the wounded healer, for he has learned compassion—a quality which the more naïve or blind Sagittarian utterly lacks.

31. The Exoteric Ruler is Jupiter Benevolent Jupiter in Sagittarius seeks truth through exoteric expression, recognizing how the spiritual manifests on the material. “When the human Hierarchy is fully awakened to spiritual and not simply material possibilities, then the work of Jupiter will immediately intensify and this beneficent ruler will lead the human family into the ways of peace and progress.” (Esoteric Astrology, Pg. 264)

32. The Esoteric Ruler is Earth “The Earth itself is, on a small scale, also an intermediary or a relating planet, because it is found ruling both Gemini and Sagittarius and is potent, therefore, only within the line of this dual relationship, existing between this particular pair of opposites. In the Earth a great balancing process is going forward between two great streams of cosmic energy, emanating the one from Sagittarius and the other from Gemini. This condition, aided and influenced by Mercury and Venus produces the somewhat unusual situation in our planet.” (Esoteric Astrology, Pg. 362)

33. The Hierarchical Ruler is Mars “Mars carries the war into the very depth of circumstance, environment and being, and confers at the same time such devotion to the visioned objective—as seen at any particular point upon the path—that final failure is rendered impossible.” (Esoteric Astrology, Pg. 365)

34. Ray Rulers for Sagittarius • Ray 4 which shows humanity (Who’s Kingdom is alike the Fourth). • Ray 5 which knows the Truth which lies concealed within the mind and form of God. • Ray 6 which gives the ardor to ascend at any cost until the Great Ideal is reached.

35. The Labours of Hercules

36. The Labours of Hercules • The Labours of Hercules is a book by Alice Bailey written in 1936 wherein Hercules needs to complete 12 tasks – one in each sign. • Each sign represents a different aspect of man’s development. • This the story of the individual Christ, crucified upon the cross of matter, and incarnated in each human being, God, incarnate in matter.

37. The Labour in Sagattarius In this labour, Hercules is instructed to find the marsh of Stymphalus and to discover the way to flush out the ferocious, man-eating birds who, with iron beaks, talons sharpened like swords and feathers like steel shafts, wreak havoc among the people of Arcadia.

38. Hercules completes his task For long Hercules searches, until he comes to the fetid marsh of Stymphalus. On his approach, the birds screech in a raucous chorus, menacing and dissonant. Three of the birds, seeing Hercules, swoop down to attack him, but standing his ground, he wards them off with his heavy club. Standing before the marsh, wondering how he would rid the place of these birds of prey, he remembers the words of his Teacher: “The flame that gleams beyond the mind reveals direction sure.”

39. Hercules completes his task At twilight, when the marsh is dense with countless birds, Hercules strikes repeatedly on two large and brazen cymbals. Bewildered and disturbed by so monstrous a noise, the birds, with wings wildly flapping, never to return again. The goddess Athena provided the pair of bronze krotala, noisemaking clappers similar to castanets. These were no ordinary noisemakers. They had been made by an immortal craftsman, Hephaistos, the god of the forge.

40. Interpretation of the myth The symbol of Sagittarius is sometimes depicted as an archer on a white horse: the white horse denoting the purified and developed personality, whilst the archer represents the one-pointed disciple, moving, straight as an arrow, towards the goal. Hercules, triumphant and freed from illusion in Scorpio, recognised that he still had an emotional nature, and found that the birds of Stymphalus, especially three of them, had to be raised out of the marshes into the clear light of day, before he could move on to a greater vision.

41. What do the birds represent? The three birds represent wrong thought and speech. Hercules realised that the lesson of this labour was the restraint of speech through the control of thought. As long as his thoughts were separative and a reflection of his lower nature, he would not be able to move further on the lighted way. By striking the cymbals Hercules managed to raise the birds into the clear air where they could be seen and conquered.

42. Further Interpretation The underlying theme of Sagittarius is that of direction or movement towards an identified goal. It has been observed that there is no direction apart from thought, and that thought is power. In the life of the Sagittarian server, these ideas reflect an awakening of consciousness to the ordered direction of God’s thought and the development of a deeper understanding of the divine Plan unfolding.

46. We can view this as the energy of fire - enthusiasm and high spirits - (Sagittarius) on the level of the personality and air - logic, thoughtful, intellectual - (Gemini) on the level of the emotions – looking at the elements. Both are mutable signs which are concerned with changing things into something else.

48. Intellectual growth is often the motivation for individuals with Mercury sextile Neptune to also attain spiritual and psychological growth. Many of them possess precognitive abilities that can be developed into remarkable powers. Learning to help themselves is often the way in which they end up helping others. Their jobs are apt to involve working with those who are handicapped, underprivileged, or institutionalized.

50. When it comes to expressing ideas, the thoughts generated by those with Mercury Uranus are either futuristic concepts or center around the past. This does not leave the success of their endeavors in jeopardy, but can cause confusion in trying to get projects off the ground when those around them believe they are too far ahead of the times or too far behind. They are apt to be clever and original thinkers. One of their complaints is having to look after boring details, and one of their problems is keeping track of papers and information no matter how organized they are.
