Wisdom Divine Love
Truth Spiritual Charity
Knowledge Intellectual Affection
Thought Psychic Feeling
Speech Physical Action
Thus we see how through the various planes of life the Divine principles
filtrate, as do the forces we know as Light and Heat through the various
ethers, until they manifest in our physical life. For the Spirit of
Truth is the manifestation of the Hidden Wisdom of the Father, and its
Bride is the Spirit of Charity. Manifesting in the human they are seen
as Knowledge and Affection on the Intellectual plane, and on the Psychic
or emotional plane as Thought and Feeling, these being derived from the
former, and ultimately finding expression as Speech and Action. Thus all
the life of man is linked up with the Divine, as all the universe is
with its cosmic centre the Sun.
The Sun shines upon all and illumines all when there are no clouds of
doubt interposing themselves between us and the open canopy of heaven.
These clouds arise by evaporation from the ferment of the lower nature.
As the cosmic centre, the Sun represents the Heart or seat of vitality
in the Microcosm. Astrologically it has its seat in the sign Leo which
corresponds with the Cardiac zone, including the heart and solar plexus.
It is thus related to the vital principle in man. Its position and
aspects in a horoscope will determine the stability of the Constitution
and hence the natural duration of life. Its sign, position and aspects
in the world are the chief cause of the variations of season and the
nature of the weather. These season changes are, of course, related to
the climate in different zones. The effects that are due in the British
Isles to solar aspects with the various planets have already been
scheduled. Saturn and Uranus are found to be magnetic and cold
producing, while Jupiter and Mars are electric and heat producing. Venus
acts to produce condensation resulting in drizzle or fine rain. Mercury
brings fresh winds; Neptune fine weather. Saturn in the same way brings
northerly and easterly winds, Venus westerly winds, Jupiter
south-westerly and Mars south-easterly winds. Uranus brings winds from
the north-west, and generally frequent showers with intermittent spells
of sunshine.
Thus we may set the compass as follows—
