Scorpio, the Scorpion

Scorpio, the Scorpion -

We come now to the consideration of a sign which is of paramount importance in the life of evolving man. Certain of the signs are in very close relation - through the inflow and the outflow of energy - with certain of the major constellations. These major constellations are, in a few instances, peculiarly connected with the signs of the zodiac. There are four of the zodiacal signs which are mysteriously concerned with what one might call the "personality expression" (if such an unsuitable term can be used in default of better) of the solar Logos Himself, or with the Divine Quaternary, the fourfold manifestation of Deity.

These four signs are Aries - Leo - Scorpio - Aquarius, and they involve the expression of the energy of one Cardinal sign and of three signs which form part of the Fixed Cross of the heavens. We could express this truth in another manner: God the Father, the Will to manifest, initiates the creative process which is worked out through the activity of God the Son, the cosmic Christ, crucified upon the Fixed Cross in the heavens. The activity of God [194] the Holy Spirit, implicit in the Mutable Cross, is closely allied to the previous solar system, and the energy of that divine aspect is practically entirely occupied with manipulating the forces inherited from that system and inherent in the very nature of substance itself....

Scorpio is the great constellation which influences the turning point both in the life of humanity and the life of the individual human being. For the first time in the history of both mankind and disciples the energy of Sirius, pouring into the seven groups which form our planetary Hierarchy evokes a response. I would remind you of a basic fact in the evolutionary process which astrology will eventually prove scientifically and past all controversy. This is the fact that energies and forces are pouring upon our system and our planetary lives ceaselessly, potently and cyclically. Yet they are only regarded today as existing when definite response is evoked. They come from all kinds of sources, extraneous to our system and planetary schemes, but until man responds and registers them both scientists and astrologers fail to recognize them and they are as if they were not. This is a point to bear in mind as I continue to teach you, for I may indicate some sources of active energy which may as yet be unknown to you as playing upon our system and its contents. The difficulty will not be because of my inaccuracies but will be owing to the lack of sensitivity in the mechanism of response which mankind and disciples are at present utilizing.

You have consequently in connection with the path of discipleship the following lines of "influential energy":
Sirius - working in a sevenfold manner through the seven rays and their seven groups as these constitute the active Hierarchy.
The Fixed Cross - a fusion of four major energies, pouring into our solar system, on to our planet and through humanity.
Scorpio - an aspect of the Fixed Cross, of peculiar and specialized potency upon the Path of Discipleship and preparing, with its tests and trials:
The process of reorientation, whereby a man mounts the Fixed Cross and leaves the Mutable Cross.
The disciple for the first, second and third initiations. After the third initiation, its peculiar testing potency is no longer felt.
The Hierarchy - The distributing agency to the various kingdoms in nature.
Mars and Saturn - Both these planets are exceedingly potent in connection with initiation into the life of the Hierarchy; Mars is potent in relation to Scorpio and Saturn in relation to Capricorn. This involves the intensified activity of the 6th and the 3rd rays and their energies, and when these are rightly employed there comes liberation from form control and the release of the conscious individual.
Again, astrologers would do well to work with this line of fused forces, studying its implications and effects in the life of the disciple.

The tests of Scorpio are necessarily three in nature as they concern intimately the readiness of the threefold personality:

To reorient itself to the life of the soul and later.
To evidence readiness for initiation.
To demonstrate sensitivity to the Plan thus becoming the one-pointed disciple in Sagittarius.

fuse and blend upon the physical plane. They are, first of all, the test of appetite. This appetite is the natural predilections and tendencies which are inherent in the animal nature and these are mainly three: Sex, physical comfort, and money, as concretized energy. They are, secondly, the tests connected with desire and the astral plane. These are subtler in nature, producing automatic effects upon the physical plane; they are not inherent in the animal nature but are imposed by the desire nature and are again three in number: Fear, hatred and ambition or desire for power. Then there are, thirdly, the tests of the lower critical mind which are: Pride, separativeness and cruelty. Remember that the worst kind of cruelty is not of a physical nature but is more mental in character. Therefore, you have in the category of that which must be tested and proved to be non-existent the following categories:

Category I

Sex - the relation of the pairs of opposites. These can be selfishly utilized or divinely blended.
Physical comfort - life conditions, selfishly appropriated.
Money - selfishly cornered (if I may use such a phrase).
Category II

Fear - which conditions activity today.
Hate - which is a factor in conditioning relationships.
Ambition - conditioning objectives.

Category III

Pride - which is intellectual satisfaction, making the mind the barrier to soul control.
Separativeness - which is the isolated attitude and which makes the mind the barrier to right group relations.
Cruelty - which is satisfaction with personality methods and which makes the mind the instrument of the sense of power.
When these faults are realized and are overcome, the result is twofold: the establishing of right relations with the soul and also with the environment. These two results are the goal of all tests in Scorpio.

Thanks,but can you out the link of this article?

Did not put up the link earlier since lots of it really esoteric and if U just post a link ...many would just not read ...and this is worth reading.

Scorpio

"Warrior am I and from battle I emerge triumphant."

The most striking and easily recognized of the summer constellations, Scorpio begins to be noticed in the evening sky by mid-spring.

Scorpio is the time of year when autumn has reached its darkest, deepest dormancy. We journey to the underworld at this time. In this journey we face the demons of our dark inner world hidden within our psyches. From making the journey, staying with the quest of self-discovery and eventually, mastery, comes the transformational aspect of Scorpio. But first the depths of the murky, muddy waters must be fully explored and understood.

The issues of sex, death and rebirth are a recurring theme for the Scorpion frequency. The many mundane experiences of these three play themselves out over and over again in human experience until, ultimately, the final death is achieved ... the death of the personality, with all of its attendant selfish concerns and desires, now raised and transmuted into selfless attainment of higher consciousness.

Ruled by both transformative Pluto and explosive Mars, many tumultuous passionate experiences engulf the Scorpio native. The deep pools of emotional waters signify the holding or control of deeply repressed emotion. Certainly awareness of the Pluto ideal, still thwarted by the self-serving focus of Mars, generates much frustration as the battle rages on between these antagonistic forces. Mars acts as a bridge between the perceived ideal and what is presently manifesting.

Thanks again..but how do you find such articles.?

"but how do you find such articles.?"

Where therez obsession ...therez a way.

On a serious note ...I stumble upon such information while researching the finer aspects of zodiac. The esoteric bit is not practical stuff...but for the spiritually inclined it can act as an inspiration.

"Where therez obsession ...therez a way." LOL
