while Jupiter is a cross where the horizontal line is linked with an arc at its
beginning.
Birth, death and liberation are the three important stages in cosmic
evolution. Death releases the bondage of material existence, but the
limitations imposed by consciousness itself continue until one is completely
free and attains Nirvana. The cross at the end of the vertical line, as in the
case of Saturn, releases the material bondage and begins the process of
mental transformation which makes the impact painful for the physical
being. The Jupiterian influence is very different. The horizontal line is
connected with the form aspect of manifestation and represents Nature. The
arc attached to it expresses the spiritualizalion of matter. The impact of

very vibrant energy. It stands for the early phase of the Swastika, which is
the symbol of active Divine Energy promoting the evolution of the universe.
The left arm of the cross has an intimate relation with the Great Deep. The
arc arises from the beginning of arm. The nature of the curvature of the arc
