The Temple symbolized the fourfold process which took place both within the Heavens and
the activity taken by the priesthood in their ritual activities. It has a specific application within
our description of the process of cosmic mediation in the Heraldic cycle. If you telescope the
imagery you could image a High Priest moving through the stages of the Temple, each stage
representing a period of activity in which the priesthood has been working and preparing. As
he completes each stage it would represent a aspects of the Heraldic period, only at the moment
of the movement from one age to the next would he enter the Sanctuary and transit the
energies to the priesthood and to Egypt.
To fully appreciate the Heraldic cycle as it leads towards Aquarius, we should examine the
four dates at the climax of Pisces. From 18444 to 21024 we have the Piscean Heraldic cycle
ruled by the sign of Aries. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and hence this suggests the violent
and martial tone that Pisces, which is assigned the Egyptian God Horus, has taken in this last
age. While Pisces is water, Aries is Fire and hence we have the interaction of Will and Emotion,
while Pisces distributes power, Aries generates it and hence the combination of these
powers brings great changes.
The attribution of Horus to Pisces is controversial and will raise the hackles of the disciples of
Aliester Crowley who believe the Aeon of Horus began with his revelation in 1904.I do not
aim to debate the Gnostic versus Thelemite position here, the linked document will cover that
in some detail if you want further information. The classic Gnostic position is to align Isis with
Taurus, Taurus being the earth goddess, Osiris is assigned to Aries and it the imagery of the
sacrifice of rams to the Father God are throughout that period. Horus is Pisces, the imagery is
related to Jesus as the Fisherman, the ocean of mankind, the fish as Christian symbols is also
founder as a symbol of Horus as Fisherman. Horus as a semi-solar image is found throughout
religions of that period, Christianity representing the misapplication of Horus to become a violent
martial force. Maat is Aquarius, the outpouring of truth and Gnosis.
The first date in our Heraldic cycle is 1844, it is the initiation whereby the process of change
from Pisces to Aquarius began. There are many other hidden indicators of this date, in the Biblical
tradition there are specific prophecies that focus on this date. The 2300 year prophecy of
the cleansing of the Sanctuary, began in 457 BCE with the declaration of Artaxeres to restore
Jerusalem and ended in 1844. The prophecy focused on the Solar Sanctuary and the climax of
it is when the sanctuary is transformed when the priest enters the innermost realm (the sacred
Seat). Some references include Daniel 8:14 and 9:25. The 2520 (7 Times) Prophecy focused
