1us the organizing powers of humanity, and the absolute necessity of “the powers that be” in certain states of development. We see in Joseph, the Egyptian ruler and law-giver, a true type of real authority. The mystical gem of this influx is the carbuncle, which is a talisman of great virtue to its proper natives. Sagittarius is the lowest emanation of the fiery trigon and is the constellation of Jove, the planet Jupiter. Upon the Intellectual Plane, Sagittarius represents the organizing power of the mind; hence, this influence indicates the external powers of command, discipline and obedience, to the ruling authority of ma¬ terial institutions. Persons of this nature are loyal, patriotic, and law abiding. Such natives are generous and free; energetic and com¬ bative; hasty in temperament; ambitious of position and power; also charitable to the afflicted and oppressed. They possess strong con¬ servative qualities; and their chief mental characteristics are prompt decision, self control, and the ability to command others.
2Upon the Physical Plane, this sign usually produces a well formed person, rather above medium height, sanguine complexion, oval face, high forehead, bright brown hair, fine clear eyes; in short, handsome. In disposition, the native is quick, energetic, fond of out door sports and recreations; hasty tempered, jovial, free and benevolent. Of plants, this sign rules agrimony, wood betony, feather-few and mal¬ lows. Of stones, Sagittarius governs the turquois, and all the stones mixed with red and green. CAPRICORN ( VS ) THE GOAT This sign, in its Symbolical aspect, typifies sin. The scapegoat of the Israelites; and the universal offering of a kid or young goat as an atoning sacrifice for sin, are significant. The different qualities of the sheep and the goat, from a symbolical standpoint, are used by St. John in his mystical Apocalypse. The Redeemer of mankind, or Sun God, is always born at midnight directly Sol enters this sign, which is the winter solstice, “The young child” is born in the stable and laid in the manger of the goat, in order that he may conquer the remain¬ ing signs of winter or death, and thus save mankind from destruction. Kabbalistically, the sign Capricorn signifies the knees of the grand macrocosm and represents the first principle in the trinity of locomotion, viz., the joints; bending, pliable and movable. It is the emblem of material servitude and as such is worthy of notice. Capri250 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
3corn, upon the esoteric planisphere, is occupied by Naphtali, whom Jacob says, “is a hind let loose, he giveth goodly words.” Here we have two very distinct references; the first, to the symbol, a hind or young deer, i.e., a goat with horns, (goats and deer are equally sig¬ nificant of the earthly, mountainous nature, and are fond of high hills); the second, is the Christmas proclamation, he giveth goodly words, “Peace on earth, good will toward man.” This sign represents “regeneration,” or re-birth, and reveals the necessity of “new dispen¬ sations.” The mystical gem of this constellation is the onyx, some¬ times called “chalcedony.” Capricorn is the lowest emanation of the earthly trigon, and is the constellation of the planet Saturn. Upon the Intellectual Plane, Capricorn signifies external form, and those dominated by its influx are among the very lowest in the scale of true spirituality. The brain of this influence is ever on the alert to seize and take advantage of circumstances. The sign gives a purely scheming mentality; the intellectual nature is directed purely to the attainment of selfish ends; the penetrating power of the mind is great. The natives are quick as lightning to see in others the weak points that they may work to their own advantage. They are indis¬ posed to do any real hard work unless they see some great benefit therefrom in the immediate future. It is a very undesirable influence.
