MESSAGE OF THE
MONTH OF SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarius,
the ninth house of Zodiac is considered as the most sacred
of all the Signs. Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita, “I
am Sagittarius among the months of the solar year”. Sagittarius
is a fiery Sign and represents a Sign of aspirant. Aspirations
rule high in this Sign. Fire adds further to the aspiration
making it as fiery aspiration.
Aspirations
can be of mundane or super mundane nature. To set goals
from time to time and to reach them is the basic characteristic
of Sagittarius. “I have covered this far, I shall go forth
to reach the next milestone.” Endless is the pursuit of
a true Sagittarian be it mundane or super mundane.
During
Atlantian times the glyph of Sagittarius was a centaur.
The hind portion is the beast and the fore portion is the
man holding the bow and arrow. It is indicative of beastly
aspiration, since man was mostly conditioned by beastly
attitudes. The goal was to develop the fore portion and
thereby dominate the beastly part in him. The aspirant was
cultivating virtues to be a virtuous personality. Others
were pursuing beastly aspirations. As time passed by, the
virtuous ones evolved and have become the seed of the Aryan
Race. Thus the glyph of the Sagittarius has changed from
that of semi-beast and semi-man to that of man who is personality
oriented.
The
aspirant in the Aryan times nourishes and develops the soul
from out of the personality, which is called Christ Consciousness
or God Consciousness. Virtuous personality is the fertile
ground, which enables the sprouting of the seed of the soul.
The aspiration set for the Aryan is to transform from personality
to be a soul and to function as a soul. To indicate this
aspiration the glyph of Sagittarius is depicted as the arrow
set on the bow.
The
Upanishads explain this symbol. The arrow is the soul and
the bow is the sacred sound OM, also called Pranava. With
the help of the sacred sound the aspirant reaches the pure
state of existence, consciously travelling through all the
seven planes of existence. He experiences himself as “THAT”
and returns as “THAT I AM” only to lift up the fellow beings,
which is the work in the next Sun Sign Capricorn. Thus a
saviour is born.
Jupiter
is the Lord of Sagittarius, who holds the key to sound.
He initiates the aspirants into the path of sacred sound.
The initiate proceeds like a released arrow passing through
Pisces, experiencing Passover in Aries and settling in the
state of Pure Existence. Many are the keys to the most mysterious
and sacred sign, Sagittarius.
