In the 5th of the 12 days towards the solsticial Summit,* let us consider the golden breath/motion and gifts of our beloved Venus, the 5th Ray planetary Logos in the solar system and the 2nd scheme or heart center (with Jupiter, 2nd Ray) of the Solar Logos.
In this unique year, Venus and Earth aligned along the axis Gemini-Sagittarius on June, 3rd (see article), just before the Christ Festival of Humanity on the Gemini full moon (5th June).
Geocentrically Venus, the golden higher Self of the Earth, is in Her Soul Sign Gemini (Esoteric Ruler) for 4 months in 2020 (from April 3 to August 7) while heliocentrically from the current opposite Sign Sagittarius will enter Her hierarchical Sign Capricorn from June 14 to July 3, along with Her 18-19 days transit in each of the 12 Signs (in resonance with the alleged 19 terrestrial days cycle of Her Consort Vulcan around the Sun) for a total of 225 days, Her Year or revolution period around the Heart of the Sun Vulcan, which is extraordinarily in a golden proportion with the 365 days year of our Earth (225 : 365 = 1 : φ).
Let us, therefore, raise our eyes to our Solar Angel Venus, our good Lucifer or “bringer of Light”, the higher Mind (Manas) which thinks by Love (Buddhi, the Christic principle), and makes Human Souls grow and glow to ascend to the Light supernal (Capricorn).
“It (Venus) relates humanity in an unique way to Gemini. In the coming world religion this fact will be noted and in the month of June, which is essentially the month in which the influences of Gemini are peculiarly strong, due advantage will be taken in order to bring man nearer to the spiritual realities. Just as Venus was potent in producing the relation of such pairs of opposites as the fifth kingdom of souls and the third kingdom (the synthesis of the sub-human kingdoms) leading to a Great Approach between soul and form, so in the new world religion this fact will be recognized. Appeal will be made to the Forces which can utilise this planetary potency in order to work out the divine plan upon the Earth.
“It is interesting to discover that the hierarchical ruler of Gemini is the Earth itself, which is a non-sacred planet. The Earth is also the esoteric ruler of Sagittarius, the polar opposite of Gemini. These are the only two constellations ruled by the Earth, and this fact is of major significance, creating an unusual situation in the solar system and a unique relation. The cosmic line of force from Gemini to Sagittarius and the reverse is subjectively and esoterically related to our Earth, thus guaranteeing its soul development, the unfoldment of form as an expression of that soul, and leading our sorrowful humanity upon this woeful planet inevitably to the very gate of initiation in Capricorn.
“In this statement and in the fact of the pain and sorrow which are distinguishing qualities of our planetary life lies hid a secret mystery. Through this relationship and through the medium of the potencies pouring into our planet, a situation is set up which I might express in the words of the Old Commentary:
“When the dual forces of the cosmic brothers (Gemini) become the energy of the one who rides towards the light (Sagittarius) then the fourth becomes the fifth. Humanity, the link, becomes the Hierarchy, the bestower of all good. Then all the Sons of God rejoice.” (EA, 354/6)
“Because the Ray of Love-Wisdom, the second ray, pours through Gemini it becomes apparent how true is the occult teaching that love underlies the entire universe. God is love, we are assured, and this statement is both an exoteric and an esoteric truth. This underlying love of Deity reaches our solar system primarily through Gemini, which forms, with the constellation of the Great Bear and the Pleiades, a cosmic triangle. This is the triangle of the cosmic Christ and is the esoteric symbol lying behind the cosmic Cross. (EA, 348)
“The great moment for which He has so patiently waited has almost arrived; the “end of the age” to which He referred when speaking to His small group of disciples: “Lo! I am with you all the days even unto the end of the age” has come. Today He stands and waits, knowing that the hour has come when He will “see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied.” (Is. LIII.11.)
“Right through the spiritual succession of the Sons of God, there is naught to be seen and felt but expectancy and preparation. “The Hierarchy waits.” It has done all that is possible from the angle of the present opportunity. The Christ stands in patient silence, attentive to the effort that will make His work materialise on Earth and enable Him to consummate the effort He made 2000 years ago in Palestine. The Buddha hovers over the planet, ready to play His part if the opportunity is offered to Him by mankind. Everything now depends upon the right action of the [people] of goodwill.” (ROC, 38/39)
