Sabian Symbols for the June 2019 Full Moon. SUN:
THIRD LEVEL: INDIVIDUAL/MENTAL
PHASE 86 (GEMINI 26°): FROST-COVERED TREES AGAINST WINTER SKIES.
KEYNOTE: The revelation of archetypal form and essential rhythm of existence. At this third level of "exteriorization" a contact with archetypes and pure forms of individual selfhood is to be sought - also with the characteristic images (Spengler's Ur-symbols) of the culture. Externals are left behind. This is a step beyond "pruning"; it is rather a process of removal of all superficialities of existence. Cyclically, nature helps us to reach this state of bare reality. It is not that we experience the Buddhist's void (sunya), but rather that we reach the essence of our individual being, the form of pure selfhood which is the structuring power underneath all external features - all that belong to the "leaf" realm.
This is the first stage of the five-fold process, now in its eighteenth phase. In a sense we can speak of it as a stage of ascetic repudiation, but it is also one of EXTERIORIZATION.
MOON:
THIRD LEVEL: INDIVIDUAL/MENTAL
PHASE 266 (SAGITTARIUS 26°): A FLAG BEARER IN A BATTLE.
KEYNOTE: The nobly accepted subservience of the individual to collective values and goals. A flag symbolizes an organized collectivity of human beings, a nation or even a social class. In the old-fashioned type of battle, whoever carries the flag has to feel themself the representative of the integrity and unity of their group. Their personal life and their welfare should therefore be totally submerged in and identified with the welfare of the "greater Whole" of which every person can act as a conscious and responsible agent for mankind. In substance, the symbol asks: "Are you ready to assume this role?!"
This first stage of the fifty-fourth five-fold sequence presents a picture of what social consciousness can mean in its highest implications. The flag-bearer is unarmed, defenseless; yet they can be the rallying point for the total effort of a large collectivity. This is a symbol of CONSECRATION TO AN IDEAL.
Spengler’s Ur-symbols
(Objects around which constellate certain tendencies of thought never directly recognized rather their presence is inferred by the recognition and patterns of thought over broadly defined eras. )
“We are seeking a flag of unity and
healing under which all Australians
are represented equally. “
