symbolized by Cancer�察�the highest point in the arc of the soul's involution�察�
as a differentiated atom of Deity within angelic spheres。
Having evolved the first dual expression of its ��the Ego's�� self�察�the twin
soulsSensation and Aspiration�察 �or Love and Wisdom�察 �the Ego rests
awhile�察�radiant with celestial love and wisdom�察�and inspiring the Divine
breath of life。
Again the restless impulse of the creative purpose arouses the Ego to

further action。 The culminating point has been reached�察 �and now must
begin an apparent downward course toward the western horizon。
The seventh angle�察�or House of Marriage�察�etc。�察�is represented by Libra
��the Balance���察�or point of equilibrium�察�where the two souls are still one�察�
balanced upon the western horizon。 The alluring temptations of material
illusions draw the souls downward�察�and�察�divorced from their celestial state�察�
the radiance of Divine love becomes obscured�察 �until the twilight of
consciousness of that former state is lost in the night of material
conditions。
This house signifies�察�also�察�law�察�and open enemies�察�and ��Libra�� justice。
Sex is the law。 The antagonism is surely too apparent to require
explanation。
The fourth angle�察�or Nadir�察�the point opposite the M。 C。�察�signifies the
frozen North�察 �and is symbolized by Capricorn�察 �the crystallizing point in
the soul's involution。 It is death�察�inertia�察�that is�察�crystallization of the soul's
spiritual forces。 It is the lowest point of the are in the monad's downward
journey。 It is the night�察�before the awakening of a new day upon a higher
plane of existence。
The remaining houses are the lights and shadows that�察 �fill out and
complete the picture�察�upon this�察�the first round of the Cyclic Ladder。
The Twelfth House�察 �symbolized by Taurus�察 �represents the first
expression of form of the human soul。 It is matter in the most etherealized
state。 It is the trail of the serpent�察 �the silent�察 �secret�察 �tenacious�察 �negative
principle�察 �that ultimately draws the soul down into the vortices of gross
matter and death。
The Eleventh�察 �or House of Friends�察 �whose symbol is Gemini�察 �the
Twins�察�expressive of the first emanation of this sublime relationship�察�the
dual attributes�察 �love and wisdom�察 �closest friends。 It is sensation and
aspiration�察�which enable the spirit to attain to the exalted state indicated by
the Tenth Mansion。
The Ninth Mansion of the celestial map is the House of Science�察�Art�察�
Religion�察 �Philosophy�察 �etc。�察 �and its symbol is Leo�察 �the Heart�察 �with its
emotions�察�love�察�and longings�察�and sympathies。 Having evolved the twins�察�
and inspiring the Divine breath of wisdom�察�glowing with Deific love�察�the

Ego aspires to know�察 �and all the sympathies of the soul are aroused。
Dauntless and fearless�察 �defying all opposition and consequences�察 �It ��the
Ego�� is ready to sacrifice this angelic state and explore the boundless
Universe in pursuit of knowledge�察�and goes forth on its long voyage upon
the ocean of Infinite�察�fathomless love and wisdom。
The Eighth�察�or House of Death and Legacies�察�is symbolized by Virgo�察�
the virgin wife�察 �standing before the ;Tree of Knowledge of Good and
Evil�察─�fascinated by the flattering prospects of greater power and wisdom。
Desire and sympathy draw the soul down into realms which lead to death�察�
and the beginning of a heritage of sorrow�察�
The Sixth�察�or House of Sickness�察�Menials�察�and Sorrow�察�is symbolized
by Scorpio。 The fall�察 �from Libra through Scorpio ��sex���察 �created the first
condition of what we recognize as sickness and affliction。 It is evident that
this house is related to the elementals of the astral plane�察�which become
the servitors of man。
The Fifth�察 �or House of Children�察 �etc。�察 �symbolized by Sagittarius�察�
signifies the offspring of sex ��Scorpio���察 �entities sent forth to people the
Earth�察 �to take their chances of life�察 �speculating on its future course�察�
fearlessly eager for the struggle�察 �gaining pleasure in its migrations and
activities。
The Third House is symbolized by Aquarius。 This is the first step of
the upward journey�察�or evolution�察�from the inert mineral state。 The changes
are now rapid�察�the journeys innumerable�察�through mineral�察�vegetable�察�and
animal planes�察 �of existence。 Here�察 �the Soul Monad brings into actual
practice the knowledge gained on its long voyage。 The magical powers of
the soul are brought into action to effect these changes in form and
function�察 �conquering material forces and planes of life�察 �transmuting
Nature's elements to its uses and purposes�察 �and writing its history�察 �as it
journeys ever onward�察�step by step。
And further�察 �this house stands in opposition to the Ninth House�察�
symbolized by Leo�察�longing to expand its ��the Ego's�� possibilities through
trial and suffering�察 �gaining knowledge through bitter experience�察 �yet
fearlessly braving all things�察�guided and sustained by the imperial will of
spirit。 The recompense promised by that supreme sacrifice has been won

in Aquariusthe Manconsecrated now to a higher existence�察�baptized in
the waters of affliction ��experience���察 �ready to be transmuted into actual
knowledge。 This is Aquarius�察�and the Third House。
The Second House�察 �signified as Pisces�察 �the House of Wealth�察 �that
which has been accumulated on the long and toilsome journeythe wealth
of experience�察�acquired through trials and struggles。 And now�察�with higher�察�
greater possibilities�察�the soul eagerly awaits the hour when it shall be born
again�察�a conscious�察�responsible human being�察�to begin the second round of
the Cyclic Ladder�察 �on this second round�察 �to externalize the knowledge
gained�察�to evolve the involved attributes and forces of being��a creature of
will and intellect�察�to work out its destiny�察�as the lord of material creation。
Observe�察�the order of the Zodiac is reversed upon the external human
plane。 But�察�Aries is always symbolical of the first angle�察�and Libra of the
seventh�察�being the point of equilibrium�察 �while the tenth�察�or South�察 �angle
becomes Capricorn and the fourth Cancer。 The mission of the soul now is
to evolve the positive�察�spiritual attributes。
Aries rules the brain and the fiery�察�imperial will。 It signifies courage�察�
daring�察�etc。�察�the first qualities necessary for the battle of life。 Ruling the
head�察�the sign and house show us the ability of man to view the field of
action�察�to mark his chart�察�and arm for the war ��which will be incessant���察�
responsible for his acts�察 �a creature of unfolding consciousness�察 �an
individual�察�whose measure of free will enables him to wander so far North
or South of his celestial equator�察�within his orbit�察�or Zodiac。
The South angle�察�or Tenth House�察�now ruled by Capricorn�察�tells of the
honor�察�position�察�fame�察�etc。 ��or the reverse�� acquired by patient labor。 The
