THE SPIRITUAL ORIGIN OF THE ZODIAC

The whole Universe is built out of endless systems of central Suns around which planets revolve. Every Sun and Planet possesses its own characteristic color determined by the type of flame in its central point. From a tiny portion of that flame, a little fiery being is created and enclosed within the Three-Fold Flame of the soul aspiring for incarnation on that particular planet. The Three-Fold Flame needs to be expanded and developed throughout the whole life of that individual.

When in the body of the silent watcher Immaculate the planets of our Solar system were projected, a method of rhythmical outpouring of certain necessary qualities and virtues was also created. There were twelve great qualities or virtues, ensouled by Cosmic Beings of immense power and greatness. Every Being, who represented part of the very nature of God, took the responsibility of condensing one of the twelve cosmic qualities of the Sun and they also magnetized and concentrated those qualities. Thus, a powerful electronic belt around our Sun was created.

It is also a great privilege and honor of those Beings to soften the radiation of the Sun, so that such stepped-down radiation can be accepted and further reduced by Angels, Cherubim and Seraphim in their bodies, as they carry it from a sphere to a sphere toward the periphery of the Universe. And finally, this reduced energy can be absorbed by certain aspirants who transfer it down toward the ones on a lower level of evolution.

Hence, around the circumference of our Sun there are 12 great cosmic foci - temples. A cosmic Being with His Divine Complement rules over one Divine virtue and directs powerful light rays in the Universe. When a planet revolves around our Sun, during the period of approximately 30 days it finds itself immersed in a strong outpouring of attributes of the particular temple whose influences it faces. It is evident by itself that there is no other positive or negative radiation or influence from the twelve great foci of Divine qualities. During the influence of a particular temple, the inner bodies of every individual are being nourished by the special blessing of the corresponding Being. Those individuals who have worked in a satisfactory manner with a particular temple in one of their incarnations receive from that temple certain special powers.

The temples are similarly constructed like the beautiful castles in the old legends and fairy tales. For instance, in the temple of Aries (the Ram Zodiac sign) the Sylphs dwell in a powerful Divine ray. It is in this focus, that substance, energy, and purifying powers for the very air we breathe is being prepared. The temple of Pisces is a focus of Neptune – Master of the Purity of the water element – and a place where the Undines are being educated. The purifying powers of Neptune flow through and over the Earth, especially in February and March. In the temple of great Aquarius people find powerful impulses for advancing and strengthening their spiritual growth. As you probably know, the planets are rearranging in the heart of the new Aquarian age to give to the spiritual interest of the consciousness of every individual equally strong impulse everywhere. In the heart of the great cosmic Being Minerva (the Capricorn Zodiac sign) we find a focus of the qualities of coalescence, discretion, and intuition. Powerful are the elements and outpourings that overwhelm our planet Earth and its atmosphere during Minerva’s period, because Her radiation is so strong that by the part of one receptive consciousness it can be absorbed exactly like a spring flower in April and May, which in accordance with its own Divine plan assimilates special natural forces.

Since around our physical Sun there are in a circular fashion, twelve light temples that sustain our Earth on its early revolution around the Sun with their special virtues, we can bring forth great spiritual impulse in our souls by meditating on them. The twelve virtues correspond to the requirements that individuals have to fulfill in order to be able to raise themselves. To these temples we can correlate the twelve astrological signs. The outer astrology and the horoscope investigate the cosmic influence of these signs that are classified according to the constellations: Leo, Cancer, etc. By conscious invocation of the working power from the twelve temples we can embody their twelve main qualities and speed up our spiritual development.

In the following, a list of the twelve temples is presented along with the corresponding Hierarchs and qualities that need to be integrated in one’s spiritual being during continual meditations:
