Aquarius 6 (5° - 6°)
OUR ROLES AS AGENCIES OF HIGHER FORCES

​Not only do we live out our human lives in simple, workaday ways but we also serve the function of bringing higher mysteries to Earth
"Channelling ancient archetypes in your own unique fashion"
Today we still see acted out the old rituals that bind a group into awareness of ancient archetypes – from Mardi Gras to Easter parades, Father Christmas to Halloween pumpkin monsters. This is because they provide an essential method to raise individuals out of personality and into a collective group consciousness. It is how we learn to surrender self to transpersonal realities with the attendant remembering of the awareness of our larger responsibilities.

Subtlety
Awareness brings the subtlety that shows grace in being and relating

Shakespeare reminds us that ‘all the world’s a stage’, yet we are constantly challenged to remember our roles as performers – this requires a very sensitive intelligence, a noteworthy subtlety of being.

Reality, as conventionally perceived, is no less convenient than a mystery play as a means of self-realisation. In all of our day to day events, we need to act out our characters convincingly well.

A person’s particular characteristics are exalted in relationship, and there is no end to the variations of expression. In fact it is only through a variety of relationships that our full potentialities can be stimulated. So to play out in our various associations we become performers, with very different temperaments. The mind has a mediating function in these interactions; its purpose is to interpret the world to the individual and the individual to the world; it is hugely important. It simply is not enough to allow individuality to be influenced, and so cultivated, by reference to our feelings alone.

All experiences have significance. The value of any experience, when interpreted creatively, is heightened in personality on the one hand, and in life itself on the other. The trick is to find a point of creative balance where we can assimilate what happens within our many social relationships to bring better understandings and deeper connection. This process must involve both feelings and thought.

With such awareness we win the gift of enacting deeper, more meaningful opportunities within the realms of human potential. We start to understand the real and subtle motivations that drive us – why we do what we do, want what we want, and fear whatever we fear.

Such subtlety invariably bestows grace – we develop the knack of noticing the effect we have on others, and their conscious and unconscious responses to us.

There can be a tendency to lack practicality, and all too frequently to be teased by the seductive pull of self-mystification. This is to be minimised because too much self-analysis can surreptitiously lead us towards distress, and if we become lost in the fascination of self, we lose the power to act spontaneously with full commitment.

Commentary from James Burgess
That part of us that is its own self - what we call "I" - is not small enough to be squeezed into a little physical body. Its vastness reaches out into the other realms, interacting and integrating with other, great beings. Who we are is vast and unique.

When we perform with awareness, whether in a mystery play or in daily life, we tune in to an aspect of ourselves whose centre of awareness is higher than our normal state. We can see more, we know more. Then the lowly earth-bound physical ego is the proud agency by which that higher, wiser aspect of self comes through to operate within the Earth plane. With awareness we can bridge the realms and promote expanding consciousness in each world.

Commentary from Mandy McKinley
All the world’s a stage. Freedom to express. A foot in each world. Archetypes. Protection through the passage. The Great Mystery come to life. Mystery school teacher. Actively living a sacred life. The dance of life. To be “at one with the gods”. Channelling a deity. Active participation in evolutionary process.
Advanced Level: Elven Star Analysis
​Although we can find relevance in some way to all 360 degrees, each degree resonates particularly, and mysteriously, with the 6 other points of its Elven Star and clues, from the 7 Words System, and the Sabian Journey, are shown in the text below. This first degree of the Expression "Idealisation" is the Affirming principle.

The scope of Aquarius 6 is "Channelling ancient archetypes in your own unique fashion", and its means of expansion is Cancer 10, "Undergoing intense training in self-improvement". Its preferred path, Sagittarius 14, "Reclaiming old teachings that pass the test of time", leads to its principle challenge, found in Taurus 18, "Emptying the mind".

Awareness of its spiritual purpose is described in Libra 23, "Speaking out what we know to be true", which generates the feedback found in Pisces 27, "See your life as the fulfilment of desire" and thus the evolutionary gateway offered by Virgo 1, "Learning what is significant on our lives".

​​(This list will differ slightly from your Elven Star points unless your degree is exact, such as Taurus 15:00 not Taurus 15:39)

20-21 deg Sagittarius

Symbol: The six-pointed star, or David’s seal.

In a certain sense, David’s seal is synonymous with the Cross, as both represent the divine order, the cosmic balance of the four contrasting elements. Apart from this the two symbols differ: The Cross—and it only —representing Our Lord’s passion, and David’s seal picturing in the most dramatic way the endless dualism of matter against spirit.

This two hundred sixty-first degree clearly attunes the contrasting forces of man’s upper and lower being; it gives self-mastery—a balance between spirit ad matter. Any balance may be dynamic or static; whether the former or the latter is to be realized here is up to the whole horoscope to tell.

If there are pointers of initiative, decision and liveliness elsewhere, we may conclude that the native can admirably exploit the uncommon energy God has granted him; he will thirst for truth and justice,. and his judgment, his self-possession, his wisdom may make him into a Guide for mankind and he may well becoi~ae an Initiate.

On the contrary, should other aspects in his chart show a resigned, dull, unpractical mind, the influence of this twenty-first degree of Sagittarius then would turn to harm insofar as it enhances the native’s irresoluteness and renders him suspicious of all and everyone.

285: Batirunos (21° Sagittarius) - To give bliss, peace, pleasure and delight to man is the special commission of this head. Everything that makes man happy is caused by this inspirer of happy moments, or by his subordinates. The magician will have all such questions put to Batirunos answered to his fullest satisfaction.


- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Chandra

SAGITTARIUS 21 Toads singing at night. X marks the spot. Plugged in to universal currents of energy and awareness. You listen and look toward the collective, universal voice and resonance, pervasively sensing how the inner worlds synchronize with the outer worlds. A magical, shamanic realm in all respects, working from the sacred circle and the cone of light. Alchemical transmutation from state to state and world to world. In touch with the borderline, hugging the edges. You feel especially keen to taste and feel what needs to happen, what wants to arise, tapping the pulse of the times and speaking for all of those who stay tuned in for further developments.


- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Charubel

A wooden bridge over a chasm, a man at the end hesitating to trust himself on it. One of a fearful disposition; very much inclined, to doubt everything, and prone to suspect even his best friends.

- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Henson

20-21 deg Sagittarius

Often an impediment in speech such as a stammer; faith; usually a pleasant personality; quick-witted; orderly courtly, and logical, left head of femur.


- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Janduz

20 Sagittarius "In front of two intertwined triangles surmounted by a third one, a magus wearing his sacerdotal headdress utters an incantation." Withdrawn, contemplative, and spiritual character endowed with powerful psychic powers. One revels in solitude and avoids socialising. Success and fame can be achieved in human sciences or in research. However, one is unlikely to become very rich. If the natal chart indicates dishonesty, this degree may describe a charlatan.


- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Kozminsky

20-21 deg Sagittarius

Symbol: A giant tidal wave.

Denotes one who from comparative obscurity raises himself to a position of influence. He is somewhat inconstant and uncertain, but he crushes opposition and all who challenge his way. He should be careful lest the force he uses be turned against himself, no matter how powerful he may be. It is a symbol of Onrushing.


- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Leinbach

20-21 deg Sagittarius

This degree is involved with social interaction. The native is always involved with group action one way or another. There are abilities for writing, art and medicine. He may pursue any one, or all three in combination. He has a pleasant personality and usually functions very well in the groups with which he is associated. He is of a restless nature and may show irritating signs of frustration at times. He may be stubborn and dogmatic. There are pronounced abilities for healing whether he chooses this as an occupation or not. He will also maintain an interest in art whether this is a major interest or not. He has good taste and decorative ability. He enjoys an abundance of energy for the things which interest him. His life for the most part is satisfying and enjoyable.


- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Muir

20-21 deg Sagittarius High mental and idealistic qualities but not sufficient continuity of purpose. A free lance.


- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Sabian

PHASE 261 (SAGITTARIUS 21° DEGREE): A CHILD AND A DOG WEARING BORROWED EYEGLASSES.

KEYNOTE: The use of imagination and make-believe in anticipating higher stages of development.

This rather peculiar symbol seems to imply here that by imitating features belonging to a level of consciousness as yet unreachable, the process of growth may be accelerated. Eyeglasses symbolize intellectual development; the chiefs of primitive tribes in some instances have sought to impress their people by wearing spectacles without glass, or western hats – simply because these objects seemed characteristic of a race of superior people. This is similar to the process of growth by identification with a ‘Master’ or guru. In a sense it is mere pretending or make-believe, yet wearing the ‘mask’ of a god the medicine man at the time becomes for all practical purposes the incarnation of the god. Growth is always a hierachical process, even if the growing entity is not aware of it.

This is the first of five symbols constituting the fifty-third sequence. It suggests the value of LEARNING THROUGH IMITATION.


- Mars 20°57' Sagittarius - Weber

20-21 deg Sagittarius

Gemini/Sagittarius opposition here diversifies, mutates and often muddles and confuses. Mental activist or a schizophrenic - or both? Whichever: it is a master of own destiny - initiative, opportunity and intellectual assistance are available - but likely to agonize over problems with love and mate. Orderly and pleasant - well-liked - perhaps suffering from a speech impediment or some subconscious hang-up (or Gemini double-think) which makes its nature seem ill-defined and weaker than it is. Of course, this degree can overcome that and practically any other obstacles when it learns the right methods.
