THE COMPLETE GOLDEN DAWN SYSTEM OF MAGIC<br />

And as Kether acted directly upon Tiphareth which is, as it were, the centre and focus <strong>of</strong><br />

the Sephiroth when projected in a sphere, so do the Aces act upon the Sun as the centre and focus<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Solar <strong>System</strong>. So that the Sun, according to his position with regard to the Equinox and the<br />

Earth’s surface will translate the effect <strong>of</strong> the seasons, he being the translator <strong>of</strong> the force <strong>of</strong> heat<br />

thereto, whether the then position <strong>of</strong> the Equinoctial points coincide with what we call 0° Aries,<br />

and 0° Libra (reckoning from Regulus) or not. So that his effect North <strong>of</strong> the Equator shall<br />

produce when just leaving the Equinoctial point, the effect <strong>of</strong> Aries, whether he be with that<br />

constellation actually in the heavens or not.<br />

Conversely also, for the South <strong>of</strong> the Equator (as in the country <strong>of</strong> Australia) his quitting<br />

the Equinoctial point southward will translate the same effect <strong>of</strong> Aries.<br />

But this rule shall not for one moment affirm that Aries and Libra are identical in nature.<br />

Nor that the Zodiac proper is inoperative. Nor that the nature <strong>of</strong> the Sun is not modified by the<br />

constellation in which he is. But only that the direct effect <strong>of</strong> the physical impact <strong>of</strong> his rays<br />

falling upon a certain portion <strong>of</strong> the Earth’s surface, will be in proportion to the duration <strong>of</strong> their<br />

action, in the excitement they produce in the terrestrial forces.<br />

And now as the Forces symbolized by these Aces, pass in succession over these stations,<br />

so will they awake certain terrestrial action according unto the sign <strong>of</strong> the division <strong>of</strong> the Zodiac<br />

above which they pass in the domain <strong>of</strong> the Knaves and according unto the nature there<strong>of</strong>.<br />

Nevertheless, the force roused by the Ace when on its Throne will be <strong>of</strong> longer duration than at<br />

other points.<br />

And hence it is that the Signs <strong>of</strong> the Zodiac be divided into Fixed or Kerubic, Moveable<br />

or changing, and Common or fluctuating, according unto the nature <strong>of</strong> the power which can be<br />

awakened therein. And again, these will be varied according unto their Elements, for the<br />

Elements have a various classification.<br />
