At the center of the Sign of Scorpio, which together with its opposite Taurus transmits the pure Fourth Ray of Harmony through conflict, here is an artistic fruit of this year that is so unique and intense for the human heart.

Structure of The Celestial Poem (Il Poema celeste).
These 12 cantos dedicated to the 12 Zodiacal Signs, indicated by the Tradition of Ancient Wisdom as the 12 Qualities of the Evolution of Consciousness, as the 12 Knights of the Round Table of Heaven, have 12 x 12 = 144 triplets or 432 verses, numbers or sacred values associated with the creative cycles and days of Brahma, the Third Person of the Trinity, Holy Spirit, the Courier of the Fire of Life, the divine Thought and Word/Song of creation.
With the 12 lines of the preface, the 432 become 444 = 111 x 4, a symbolic number that echoes the principle of the Triune or Trinity (111) manifested in Form (4).
Each constellation/sign therefore corresponds to 12 triplets (12 x 3) or 22 x 32 = 36 lines, another sacred and circular number (36 = 6 x 6, and 6 is the synthesis of the 1x2x3 Triad), in which Divine Love (2) and Intelligence (3) unite and merge multiplying and amplifying in Space (exponentiation: elevation to power): in the Solar System Jupiter (2nd Ray) and Saturn (3rd Ray) around the Will (1st Ray) of Sun/Vulcan (see video Jupiter-Saturn conjunction 2020); Sirius and the Pleiades as wings of the Great Bear in the cosmic system; heart and mind fused to serve the higher will, attested in the “heart in the head”, in the human system.
Furthermore, from one zodiac sign to another, two metrics alternate:
– the hendecasyllable (11: a prime number) associated with the masculine signs, or Aries 1st sign (Aries is the manifest Beginning subtended by the Equinox, while Capricorn is the occult Beginning subtended by the Solstice), Gemini 3, Leo 5, Libra 7, Sagittarius 9, Aquarius 11;
– the decasyllable (2×5) for the female signs Taurus 2, Cancer 4, Virgo 6, Scorpio 8, Capricornus 10, Pisces 12.
The 11 syllable meter or canon (6 + 5 = 11, the “number of the Initiate”) is thus associated with the elements of fire and air of the male signs, that is the union between the Hexagon and the Pentacle, between the 6 forces of Nature (shakti) and the Agni Fire of the flaming Logoi and of the creative Thought of the higher Mind; the earth and water elements of the feminine signs are accompanied by the rhythm of 10 syllables (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 or 2 x 5), the Tetraktis or perfection expressed in the Manifestation by the 5-pointed Star or Star of Creation.
Each Sign has a primary Idea as its title, and the 12 initial letters of the 12 triplets, highlighted in the text, trace 12 Formulas corresponding by meaning, attributing to their sound vibration in the principal position the power to vitalize the thought forms expressed in verse (Ideas → Formulas → Forms):
- ARIES – Sound: AAA ELI ELI ELI
- TAURUS – Light: ELI SABACTANI
- GEMINI – Motion: CRISTO D’AMORE [CHRIST OF LOVE]
- CANCER – The Ocean: LE ISOLE AMATE [BELOVED ISLANDS]
- LEO – The King: O ALTISSIMO RE [O HIGHEST KING]
- VIRGO – The Trinity: SPIRITO SANTO [HOLY SPIRIT]
- LIBRA – The Way: LA VIA DI MEZZO [THE MIDDLE WAY]
- SCORPIO – The Warrior: SACRA ARMONIA [SACRED HARMONY]
- SAGITTARIUS – The Goal: MONDI LONTANI [FAR WORLDS]
- CAPRICORNUS – The Summit: O LUCE SUPERNA [O SUPERNAL LIGHT]
- AQUARIUS – The Server: NOI SERVITORI [WE SERVERS]
- PISCES – The Savior: NOI SALVATORI [WE SAVIOURS]
A theorem intuited by a great thinker asserts that:
Idea = Sound + Light
Ideas, those Units or Monads of Life and Space which are the Centers of all manifested things – their vital, magnetic and conscious sources – are composed of Sound and Light, Sound being “the first creative Agent” of Space and Light “the rhythmic motion of Fire” revealing the work of the Sound-Creator.
In the Poem, the Sound aspect of the Ideas and Formulas formally emerges in its Rhythm and metric, while the Light aspect guides the composed and elaborated images for the 12 Signs.
But, essentially, it vibrates in the Dream, in the creative imagination of the composer of the verses and of each heart in listening and in vision.
The 12 drawings of the Zodiac, set in sound and luminous motion in the related videos,[1] illustrate one of the infinite ways to express the photophonic vibration of these 12 Archetypes of Consciousness, as presented by the Tibetan Master in Esoteric Astrology, part of the wonderful Treatise of the Seven Rays, from which all the contents, meanings and references to the main Stars, to the Energies and Rays transmitted, to the triad of planetary Rulers of the 12 Signs, are deduced and inspired.

What gave birth to this celebratory hymn are therefore the 12 Powers of the Zodiac and the “sure hope” that the consciousness of humanity will one day realize its mystery, and will be able to use the causal and evolutionary power of their Sounds and Lights, primary Agents of Creation and Revelation.
Ideas are the inhabitants of Heaven, above and within us; they are those powers that produce precipitates, they are the Essence of the True, the Beautiful and the Good. All Evolution leads Nature including Man to express them better and better in Form and Consciousness.
And since Rhythm is that magic that transforms steps into a dance and prose into poetry, the attempt to sing and illustrate the ideal essences of Heaven is son of the desire to learn, “beautifully, carefully, and fleetly”, the art of living.
“A caress is part of truth.”

In particular, the transparent sheet of the 12 drawings (in the paper version) seems to trace light patterns on the ‘watery surface’ that veils the backgrounds of words; similarly, the overlapping of images and effects in the videos are intended to represent the multifaceted and magical interaction or mixture between all the worlds or levels of reality and manifestation.
