AQUARIUS
MOTTOS:
“WATER OF LIFE AM I, POURED FORTH FOR THIRSTY MEN”.
“LET DESIRE IN FORM BE RULER”.
ONE*
Hearing the silence of Capricorn, life reacts with active obedience, that is, with the Will-to-serve. This energy is not anchored to the centers, but spreads throughout the fields, spaces, in all intervals, as beneficial irrigating water that nourishes the seeds. It comes down from above, sometimes like rain, sometimes like dew, sometimes like a torrent: it gets lost in the soil and feeds it, that is, it serves it.
TWO
The motion of life, vertical and alternating in Capricorn, here acquires the very ripples of water, oscillating between above and below, yet capable of transmitting energy horizontally. Its motion is doubly twofold: the upper line is subtle and decentralizes, the lower line is concrete and centralizes. The first spreads and serves the others, the second calls back to itself, to the source. From this horizontal alternation a first effect is born, that is, the alternating propagation on the horizontal plane, or the expansion and contraction of the energetic impulse. It is the principle that sets in motion the organs of respiration (Aquarius is a sign of air), capable of taking life from the environmental space and returning it used and transformed.
The real Service lies in this exchange between inside and outside, derived and caused by the descent and ascent of Capricorn. The two motions, the alternating and the oscillating, are combined into a dynamic cross, traversed by two vibrations that are transmitted in all directions in space.
THREE
The service of Aquarius is rendered to the global community, yet pursuing the specific purpose set by Capricorn for the annual cycle. The third quality of Aquarius establishes the doses of vital energy poured out for the thirsty: to each one their part, no more no less. Scarcity or abundance, the effects of imbalance between giving and receiving, do not depend on the regular movement of life, but on the obstacles to its flow. In reality, the original doses are adapted to the needs, according to the great Law of Economics that regulates universal exchanges; the inequalities, present everywhere in the world, arise from the wrong use of energy. Those who hold back too much for themselves subtract from others and violate the precept of service of Aquarius.
FOUR
Each wave hides in itself two nodal points, the only ones that are vectors of the propagation of energy without ever oscillating. They are the pivots of the creative beauty of that motion, to which they ensure, with their apparent immobility, calm and balance. Their stability is quivering with life, governing the whole dynamism of the wave and fixing its path. In the annual cycle they correspond to the two equinoxes, which highlights their perfect equity and mutual relationship.
The double wave of Aquarius also reveals another equilibrium: the lower wave imitates the higher and repeats its phases in a coupling. When even the tendency of the propagated energy, which diffuses in one and concentrates in the other, is at last imitated, the two oscillations merge into one, and Service is concluded.
FIVE
Two are the waves, two are the horizontal translations. Moreover, the water of life oscillates up and down, like every aquatic motion. Service is therefore dualistic, and generates a symmetrical and coordinated pluralism. The fifth quality is here affirmed with power for the first time, in this second phase of the annual cycle of the sun, and imposes its law. Waves and vibrations respect only one law, but with infinite executive variations. Countless are the services, and likewise the manners of service. Each one can pour water for the thirsty, in their own way, and the water of life is magnetized by infinitely diverse qualities, such as to satisfy all the needs.
If Capricorn dictates the purpose and establishes the program, Aquarius, in obedience, sets into motion that solar executive principle for which forms, the users and transformers of divine energy, are constructed.
*
In light of the above, it is clear that Aquarius concentrates the manifesting power of the fifth Ray, which branches out, forks and divides the reality of the One without a scratch, and generates controlled oscillations in the forms.
SIX
The activity of this sign, despite its evident and manifold dualism, remains unitary. The Service, although free in its forms and aspects, aims at a single purpose, from which it springs: the Common Good. These few words are enough to understand the power of such concept. The Common Good is the only source of the water of life, which returns to it, after being poured out, just as all the waters of the world return to the source from which they flowed. The cycle is always complete and continuous, whereby Water pours relentlessly and the Vessel from which it overflows is never empty.
There is a Communion of Servers, who bring water and pour it out for the thirsty.
SEVEN
All the energy of Aquarius is controlled and regular. There is no waste, nothing disturbs the balanced and measured irrigation of space. The water of life comes down from tank to tank, level to level according to a proportionate progression. The same happens for its reflux, a typical and familiar phenomenon of the wave, when, at the end of the journey, it fringes against a bank or a border. The fact is so general and known that it can be affirmed that the first and only purpose of the limits, which are nevertheless an illusion, is to force the water of life back to where it came from, closing its cycle of usefulness.
One can see in this the sacred rituality of Service, which spreads and transmits to all the boundaries, even the most remote and subtle, but when it reaches and touches them, it immediately recovers its values and returns to the perfect Heart which sent it as a missionary in Space.
