Astrological Mythology The Meaning of ... - Mandhata Global

Ganymede, the object of lust personified, is changed by making him the cupbearer
of the gods. This refers to the abandonment of all material
attachments and dedicating oneself to the Divine will. The father of Noah is
the saviour and precursor of a new civilization. He arouses those creative
impulses which are Noah-like, which carry the divine essence, the seeds of a
new civilization. The ocean on which Visnu, the creative energy, floats
provides the foundation on which future creation can take place. Similarly,
the churning of the ocean provides the various jewels, the precious
possessions of the cosmos. Thus, we find that water in the Aquarian context
expresses the creative purpose. It symbolizes the great impulse under which
the Builders, the Dhyanis, and Demiurges, the great architects assisting
Brahma, the cosmic architect, are engaged in objectifying the subjective
images slumbering in the Alaya, the unmanif-est or the Great Depth.
The impulse from this sign, however, is concerned with both the pitcher as
well as the water contained in it. The pitcher is the sheath and the water the
life-energy dwelling within it. The Aquarian impulse actlv-izes both, but
which impact is perceived depends upon the aspect of life predominant in
the individual. When affinity is greater with the material component of
manifestation, there is greater attachment to the outer forms of
manifestation. In this case the emphasis on the pitcher makes the individual
materialistic and self-centered. But in case his affinity is with the energycontent
radiating from it, then the Aquarian impulse moves him towards
promoting the universal good. Which aspect will manifest in an individual is
difficult to guess, therefore this sign is considered one of the most enigmatic.
The diagram of this sign is a double wavy line. The wavy line represents
movement in water, and also reminds us of the changing moods that one
feels under its impact. The significance of water and the dual nature of the
impact of this sign is highlighted by this emblem. The individual under its
impact is subjected to fluctuating moods, which must be overcome before
reaching the next stage on the evolutionary path.
