Astrological Mythology The Meaning of ... - Mandhata Global

the energy-particles begin to revolve around the center and sustain a certain
limit to the manifestation. The circle with a central point, which establishes
the connection between the creator and the creation, also refers to this
delineation of the power of the Absolute. The Sun, represented by the circle
with a central point, makes our solar system the visible representative of the
Absolute. It shows in its limitation the power of the unlimited. Both the
central point and circumference of the circle have their special implications.
The point has two main qualities. First, it is a swelling of the inner outwards.
It is the impulse to grow. By this action, that which is within and unmanifest
comes out on the periphery and becomes manifest and expressed. The
central point itself becomes the circumference.
*Literally means Half-woman-god. The concept refers to the Supreme God
consisting of a half male and a half female body but together forming a
harmonious unity.
The center and the circumference form a unity. The seed and the fruit exist
together. In life the point represents germination. It enables the Divine
Potential in man to flower which implies expansion in all directions. The
point as an impulse to grow leads the soul to the unknown, to growth and
splendor beyond limit.
Second, the point is the beginning of all linear movement — horizontal,
vertical and in other directions. The seed or original impulse in man enables
him to engage in all forms of activities, positive and negative. Together with
the circumference, the point stands for the expansion of the spirit and its
energies within the delineated field of its activity. They show the field of
observation or arena of activity. As a symbol of the Sun, the circle does not
merely represent the solar globe but includes the entire solar system up to
the furthest point where the Sun's gravitational pull operates. As a symbol it
represents intense activity, both physical and mental, in which the
circumference is always a limitation to the basic urge of the central point to
grow and expand.
Key expressions for the circle in an astrological context are spontaneity,
movement, growth and expansion outwards of that which is within, the
subject becoming object. There is expansiveness, perfection, simultaneous
attraction and repulsion, and ultimate frustration if the urge for growth is
thwarted.
