under “31. Fire,” above.)
30. Sol. The perfection of Sol is its fixation in the amber of Cancer
by elevation at the summer solstice. In this it receives the adornment of
pure physical energy, Fire. The red is purer than the orange, being of
the incorruptible element.
32. Saturn. The perfection of Saturn is its identification with
Binah. It has, so to speak, made good its position above the Abyss. It
is adorned with the blue rays of the King Scale of Chokmah. The
symbol implies that Time, the Destroyer, has been transmuted into the
condition of the operation of the Great Work, i.e. the marriage of
Chokmah and Binah.
THE ZODIAC
15. Aries. Controlled fire as in a furnace.
16. Taurus. Rich fertile earth.
17. Gemini is perfected by active thoughts, aimed and tinged by
spiritual intention.
18. Cancer. See Liber 418 (Equinox I, 5) on the Mysteries of
Magister Templi. The blood in the Cup of Babalon has dried to brown
in which the vegetable, impersonal, and immortal life lurks.
19. Leo. Fire is infused evenly in the Lion, thus correcting his
tendency to impulse.
20. Virgo. The perfection of virginity is fruitfulness.
22. Libra. Retains the love of its ruler Venus, but this is purified of
its grossness.
22. Scorpio. The vivid watery vibration of putrefaction assumes the
hue of the beetle Kephra. The perfection of Scorpio is to bring
corruptibility through its midnight.
25. Sagittarius. The virgin huntress is brought from her
superficiality by becoming the huntress Babalon. The deep vivid blue
is to be connected with the ideas of water (the Great Sea of Binah) and
Chesed, the image of that sea below the Abyss.
26. Capricornus. The colour combines Chokmah and Binah, and is
very dark. The Great Attainment is symbolized by the marriage.
