1We see, therefore, that when the combinations of stellar force flow in straight lines and cut through each other from cross angles, the resultant upon the physical plane is that state which we term discordant and evil. But, when the rays of force flow in straight but convergent angles from or towards each other, then the opposite effects are naturally produced, and harmony, love and prosperity reign. The student cannot pay too much attention to these Occult facts of Nature’s law, because they are true upon every plane of mani¬ fested existence. v ' o The Angle of Sorrow CHAPTER IV INTER-ACTION OF THE STARS The next great subject which requires the student’s thoughtful attention is the four Triplicities. These trigons correspond to the four ancient elements, and are therefore, Fiery, Earthy, Airy and Wa¬ tery. Each triplicity or “Trigon” contains three zodiacal signs, 4 times 3 equals 12, the number of the signs of the sphere. The Fiery trigon embraces the signs of Aries ( T ), Leo (), and Sagittarius ( # ). The Earthy trigon embraces the signs Taurus ( S ), Virgo ( rrp ), and Capri¬ corn (V?). The Airy trigon embraces the signs Gemini (X), Libra (=£=), and Aquarius (^r). The Watery trigon embraces the signs Cancer (E5), Scorpio (Til ), and Pisces ( X ), also see page 399, Wilson’s Dictionary of Astrology.
2In practical astrology these triplicities are of very great import¬ ance, as they shed their potent influence upon the ascendant at the birth of every living being or thing, and impress their peculiar nature upon the temperament of the native. The philosophical principles concealed beneath these so-called ancient elements, are worthy of a far more detailed elucidation than the space of this chapter will admit. Probably one of the greatest mistakes made by the modem un¬ initiated astrologer in regard to the actual influence of these triplic¬ ities, is that they omit to take into consideration the ascent and descent of the spiritual etherealization of material forces. Magnetic and electric forces vary in their spirituality like every¬ thing else in the universe. That which is superior, by virtue of its higher or more interior emanation, will demonstrate its superiority upon every plane of its manifestation. For example; Aries ( T ) is the first and highest representative of the fiery trigon, and those born with this sign rising upon the ascendant of their horoscope will always move upon a higher plane, mentally and spiritually, than those born under Leo or Sagittarius. But, externally, those people bom under Aries will show their superiority from a purely intellectual point of view. Their nature will be, chiefly, fiery and mental, consequently quick in action, and prompt in decision.
3Leo (<n), the next to Aries, is the second representative of the fiery trigon, and persons bom with this sign rising, will always move 226 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT upon the sensitive and emotional planes. Their nature will be chiefly fiery and sensitive, consequently, hasty and impulsive. They will act without thinking, on the spur of the moment, when under the dom¬ inating influence of their susceptible, emotional natures. In this, we see the difference between Aries, which rules the head, and Leo, which represents the heart. Leo persons, when roused to a pitch of passional fury, are absolutely insane in their wild and erratic actions. Like the lion, they are completely blinded by an intense degree of excitement. On the contrary, an Aries person, though susceptible of an equal degree of furious temper, never becomes blind with excite¬ ment. Even in his most outrageous conduct, an impartial observer will not fail to see that “there is method in his madness.”
