1Upon the Intellectual Plane, it is concerned with the relations of solids to each other, from which is especially evolved form, propor¬ tion, sound, etc. The same may be said of the metals dug up from the bowels of the earth, of the commerce, arts and industries resulting therefrom. Esoterically, the earthy trigon denotes the comprehension of the spiritual qualities evolved from the earthy activities; or, rather, that one spiritual quality of three-fold formation expressed in three mystical terms; Taurus ( b ), servitude or spirit of patient work; Virgo (ttr), formation and re-formation; Capricorn (V3), the result of the union of Taurus and Virgo, which leads either to the higher plane in the spiral of existence; or to the lower plane on the downward course to darker realms of being; more earthy, hardened and dead.
2The Airy Triplicity represents the west; the scene of the setting sun; which signifies the dying of the day, of sense and of matter; which is only the promise of another day; an advance to a higher plane. This brighter day is denoted by the airy trigon; and is con¬ cerned, upon the external plane, with the priestly, political and social relations of human fife. That is to say, it represents the higher qual¬ ities of these relations. It is, therefore, symbolized by the invisible element, air; the great medium of motion. Its esoteric significance is comprised in the arcana of the one true science. After first having a knowledge of the twins ( ft Gemini) external, the internal science attains unto the adjustment and equilibrium or balance (=£= Libra) of the two; so that they exactly blend in the divine equipoise of harmony zed jy Google 251 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT and wisdom; thus realizing only the rippling waves (£? Aquarius) of peaceful results; instead of the downpouring floods and cataclysms; both social and physical; which otherwise result from the unbalanced scales (=£= Libra); when external and internal antagonize, as two hostile and absolutely separate and dual forces; instead of balancing as two modes of one and the same eternal motion, the one life of the universe.
3The Watery Triplicity, symbolical of the south, is the exact op¬ posite of the earthy north. It is the frozen, melted; the hardened, liquefied; the renewal of the crystal into other forms; and the resur¬ rection of death into life. The watery trigon signifies the constant effort in Nature to adjust opposites and contradictories; to bring about chemical changes and affinities as especially seen in fluids; and as so perfectly symbolized in that great distinguishing feature of water, viz., to seek its own level. On the external plane of human life, the watery trigon denotes love ( Lo ); sex (n\ Scorpio and $ Mars); and offspring (); the external results of the union of the two (love and sex). On the more esoteric planes. Cancer (55 ) symbolizes tenacity to life, hence, the desire for immortality; which, combined with a knowledge of the mysteries of sex (Tl\ Scorpio and $ Mars) or generation and regeneration, leads the immortal soul to the termination of its earthly pilgrimage and material incarnations, in the union with its missing half or Pisces ( X ), which is symbolized, upon the celestial equator (equilibrium), as the two fishes bound together by the cord (of love). Having regained this equator and passed from the lower arc of matter, the soul enters once more upon the spiritual path of eternal conscious life.
