Astrological Mythology The Meaning of ... - Mandhata Global

The circles symbolize perfection, rhythmic movement and wholeness. The
fourth zodiacal impulse as well as the tenth are associated with wholeness
and the rhythmical movement of the cosmic manifestation in a special
manner. The right circle is linked with the arc touching it from the bottom
suggesting that the residues of experience during the process of their
transmutation into the Pure Essence, have to pass through a series of
changes bringing the entity into deeper layers of materiality.
The two circles of the symbol show that Cancer represents a mini-world of
creative energies. At this level of manifestation there exists concretized
duality as spirit and matter, form and consciousness, latency and full
blossomed potency. Cancer has the unique quality of extending its realm of
operation from the lowest depth of human experience to the highest bliss
attainable. It is the stage where intelligence has polarized, duality has
become manifest and the outward evolutionary journey into the realm of
time and space has begun. In actual life, one finds that the Cancer born
person has a wide range in which he can function. No attainment is too high
or no degradation too low. Cancerians can feel at ease in the realm of matter,
physical action and social relationship. At the same time they can operate in
the psychic world, the plane of thought and emotions, and on the spiritual
plane as well.
5 LEO
SIMHA
The fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo, is indicated by a lion, which is the meaning
of its Sanskrit name 'Simha'. Emblematically, it is represented by a circle
connected with an upward curving arc at its right top corner which tapers
downward with a slight twist to the right. The lion and the emblem for the
Leo stand for the stage of individualization. The roaring lion indicates the
individual soul separated from Anima Mundi or the world soul. It roams
around the forest of chaos, the Great Illusion or Maya, and ultimately
accomplishes its destiny by realizing itself. These symbols refer to the root
of the divine creative impulse. Leo enables the inner being to manifest on
the outer plane. This exlernalization of the subjective essence is the outcome
of the Divine creative impulse. Several stages have to be crossed before its
final result is achieved.
