crimsoncurrentThe concept of self-will and how it relates to one’s sense of self and totality. The text you selected is a quote from the book “The Anatomy of Self: The Individual Versus Society” by Takeo Doi, a Japanese psychiatrist and scholar1 The quote is from the chapter “The Firewheel”, which explores the concept of SELF-WILL and its relation to social NORMS and VALUE. The quote suggests that self-will is a creative and expressive force that shapes one’s sense of self and totality, but also a potential source of tyranny and dictation if it becomes too rigid and dogmatic.
To explain the text in simpler terms, it means that the self, or the individual, decides what is right and wrong for itself, based on its own preferences and standards.
-THE RIGHT TO DIE BILL IS PASSED - MARS
The self believes that it is always correct, and that its way of thinking and acting is the best for everyone.
MEGHAN MARKLE - MERCURY
The self sees the world as a reflection of its own inner logic and values, and does not consider other perspectives or possibilities. The self can become very confident and powerful, but also very arrogant and oppressive. The self can impose its will on others, and ignore or reject any feedback or criticism. The self can become a tyrant or a dictator, who does not respect or care about anyone else. The self can also become a BULLY, who uses force or intimidation to get what it wants.

Explanation of the Text
The self, or the individual, determines its own standards of right and wrong based on personal preferences and values.
The self holds a belief that its perspective is always correct, viewing the world as a reflection of its own internal logic and values, often disregarding other perspectives.
This confidence can lead to arrogance and oppression, allowing the self to impose its will on others while dismissing feedback or criticism.
Ultimately, the self can transform into a tyrant, dictator, or bully, disregarding the needs and opinions of others.
In essence, self-will represents the individual's autonomy in shaping their identity and worldview, but it also carries the risk of becoming domineering and oppressive if it becomes inflexible and intolerant of differing viewpoints.

LEO 6.
(Smoothness)
An old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl.
A large ball of fire flying through the air.
Two crossed swords above a gauntlet, forming an escutcheon.
The firewheel, or confidence in the relevance of gift: self-will at
the heart of formativeness gives a radiant sense of "constants
ahead and around," in a wholly personal version of totality
as the self's field. The self, identifying the norms of distribution
as its own, develops a personal sense of and reliance on the
always and the everywhere, of totality as symbolically distributed
in "eternal principles" or constants of relation which reflect the
self's internal relations, and of self as always right. Tyranny
or dictation. Bully Bottom.

Leo 6. Hidden photos of a deceased woman are discovered. (Omega Symbol) Interacting/Experimental
(Degree Angel Name: Nithael (NIT-ha-EL) The Death of Death, Rejuvenation and Eternal Youth)
The past is continually revealing new things about itself as we grow in consciousness and change our perspective on it. You have the ability to shed new light on old truths, and to express taken-for-granted information in such a manner that it comes alive in a new way to people. You help others to see how the past has shaped their personality, and how it can be renewed and reshaped.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “A hamster running in a treadmill.” Here we find sheer impulsiveness and a compelling need to exert oneself. There's little thought about the future or even the significance of its actions, but rather an unquestioning compliance with what it's instincts are wanting it to do. The simplicity of this can be refreshing, and can help to stir others to action. “I am what I am and I do what I do” is the attitude, and this tends to be expressed in a healthy, direct way. Even within limited or restricted situations, or when thwarted, (I'm presuming the hamster is in a cage), this individual is unflagging, and keeps busy.
Sometimes there is also a tendency to go over and over the same territory, but rather than this causing frustration it often results in seeing things in a new way, for such repetition can lead to a deep comprehension and assimilation of what's being reviewed. In this way the Chandra Symbol connects to the new photographs of the woman in the Omega Symbol, where new revelations come to light concerning something that one presumed as passed and finished.
Pleidian Symbol: A woman decked out in beautiful finery conversing with another woman who is totally naked.
Azoth Symbol: A glowing meteor speeding through the atmosphere.
Seed degree: Gemini 5. Two people calling to each other across a wide, deep canyon. (Omega Symbol). When we deeply connect with others – especially when it is difficult – we always gain some form of new perspective – which often goes beyond the biases we formerly held.
An immense tortoise with jewels inlaid on its back. (Chandra Symbol). Glimpsing the spiritual treasures we carry with us fills us with hope and enthusiasm and spurs us on to fresh efforts.
Fulfillment degree: Virgo 11. The smell of ancient perfume as an Egyptian tomb is opened. (Omega Symbol). Through gaining new perspectives on the past we are able to psychically merge with its atmosphere and hence understand it more deeply.
A four-year-old girl dressed as a nurse. (Chandra Symbol). Anxious to exercise our powers we innocently plunge into situations, which, though they may seem beyond our capacity, our naivete allows us to perform beautifully.

The photos found in a secret drawer disturbed him at first, for they were nothing like his memory of her. He had fixed pictures of her in his mind, but these newly discovered ones seemed as if they came from another life, one he was not privy to. They seems to assail his own inner pictures, which he felt a need to protect.
Until he realized that she, like all others, was not one person but many, each being a forest of people. And so in his imagination he made room for a new her, and left space, as well, for other versions of her to arise, if they so desired..
The narrative revolves around the discovery of hidden photos of a deceased woman, represented by the Omega Symbol. The experimental/interactive aspect is tied to the Degree Angel named Nithael, associated with the themes of the death of death, rejuvenation, and eternal youth. The individual in focus has the ability to shed new light on old truths, helping others see how the past has shaped their personalities and can be renewed.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree involves a hamster running in a treadmill, representing impulsiveness and unquestioning compliance with instincts. Despite simplicity, this can stir others to action. The symbolism connects to the new revelations in the hidden photos, suggesting a fresh perspective on something presumed as finished.
Additional symbols include a Pleidian Symbol of two women conversing—one adorned and the other naked—and an Azoth Symbol of a glowing meteor speeding through the atmosphere.
The Seed degree (Omega Symbol) involves two people calling across a canyon, suggesting that deep connections with others provide new perspectives. The Chandra Symbol (associated with a tortoise with jewels) emphasizes glimpsing spiritual treasures and feeling hopeful.
The Fulfillment degree (Omega Symbol) involves the smell of ancient perfume as an Egyptian tomb is opened, emphasizing that gaining new perspectives on the past allows a deeper understanding.
The Oracle section describes the emotional impact of discovering the hidden photos, initially disturbing the observer. However, a realization occurs that each person is multifaceted, and the observer makes room for new interpretations, leaving space for various versions of the deceased woman to emerge in his imagination.

LEO 6\nA hamster running in a treadmill.\nKeeping up with things can be an all-consuming matter, because everything changes all the time. There are always fresh angles to master. And when you are coming from a very old place, it is not so easy to shake yourself loose and become the next thing asked. To do it you may have to turn yourself into a super-high-powered accomplisher, converting ancient ways to radically different eras. You are personally, privately one way and publicly, impersonally, another way, turning it on to suit the occasion. The karmic performer in overdrive, hustling to catch up. At times compelled to rely on tricks. Frantic to cover all bases, to be everywhere. Pushing yourself to learn how to operate within a contemporary world that is alien, at a loss. Yet also gifted, bringing with you from the heart of nature such jewels and wonders that the world may ask, "Why do you cast your pearls before swine?" But there are moments in the journey when doing whatever is called for becomes its own reward, even if the pace is grinding and the recognition sparse. Something bright abides and sustains you beautifully.

Hello, this is Bing. I see that you are interested in the astrological degree of Leo 6, based on the work of Marc Edmund Jones, a prominent astrologer and occultist. The text you selected is a description of this degree, using imagery, metaphors, and keywords to convey its psychological and spiritual implications.
The text suggests that this degree is characterized by a strong sense of self-will and ambition, as well as a struggle to adapt to changing times and circumstances. The text uses three images to illustrate this theme:
An old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl: This image contrasts the traditional and the modern, the conservative and the progressive, the past and the present. It implies that this degree has a conflict between its old and new values, and may feel out of place or outdated in the current society.
A large ball of fire flying through the air: This image symbolizes the energy and creativity of this degree, as well as its potential for destruction and danger. It suggests that this degree has a powerful and expressive personality, but also a tendency to be reckless and impulsive, and to burn itself and others with its intensity and passion.
Two crossed swords above a gauntlet, forming an escutcheon: This image represents the challenge and conflict that this degree faces, as well as its courage and determination. It indicates that this degree has a strong sense of honor and duty, but also a propensity for violence and aggression, and may have to fight for its beliefs and goals.
The text also provides an explanatory paragraph that relates the images to the character and destiny of the individual born under this degree. The text states that this degree has a “firewheel” quality, which means that it has confidence and creativity in its self-will, but also a potential for tyranny and dictation if it becomes too rigid and dogmatic. The text also mentions the term “Bully Bottom”, which is a reference to a character from Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, who is a pompous and foolish actor who is transformed into a donkey by a fairy. This implies that this degree may have a sense of humor and a playful side, but also a risk of being ridiculed or humiliated by others.
Summary: The text is a description of an astrological degree that expresses the theme of self-will and adaptation. It uses different symbols and stories to convey this theme.
To explain the text in simpler terms, it means that the self, or the individual, decides what is right and wrong for itself, based on its own preferences and standards.
