arc shows that the ultimate goal <strong>of</strong> all manifestation is its return to its<br />

original source.<br />

Leo born individuals have a great creative urge. Its level and form depends<br />

upon the influences impinging on the individual. Often, the urge to create is<br />

just for its own sake and not directed to a specific goal. If the creative<br />

impulse functions on the physical level, there will be procreation. If the<br />

impulse is on the mental plane, there is emotional and intellectual creation.<br />

Leo shows the tremendous urge to concretize that so far has been<br />

unmanifest. This concretization <strong>of</strong> the universal life force is linked with the<br />

process <strong>of</strong> human individualization when the human soul is separated from<br />

the group soul. At this point, one stage <strong>of</strong> evolution is differentiated in a<br />

radical way from another. This is symbolized by the single circle contained<br />

in the emblem with a loop at its top, as if the life force is coming, out <strong>of</strong> the<br />

wholeness <strong>of</strong> the circle. <strong>Astrological</strong>ly, one finds that Leo ascendants usually<br />

feel good, right and happy as long as they are involved in creative activity,<br />

order to externalize the latent attributes <strong>of</strong> the soul. At this stage, the<br />

feminine creative principle differentiated during the previous zodiacal<br />

impulse is given a direction to follow. <strong>The</strong> new task requires the material<br />

cross to be borne with a sense <strong>of</strong> dedication and commitment. It thereby<br />

leads the inner being to experience limitation in its functioning. Virgo thus<br />

represents the crucifixion <strong>of</strong> the cosmic man. Under the Virgo impulse, the<br />

being <strong>of</strong> time, Kala Purusha, is nailed to the cross <strong>of</strong> matter. Material<br />

attachment creates a strong physical bondage, but in the inner nature, the<br />

manifesting soul is aware <strong>of</strong> the possibility <strong>of</strong> liberation from them. At the<br />

sixth zodiacal impulse, consciousness is fettered but possesses an awareness<br />

that the bondage can be removed by understanding <strong>of</strong> the relationship<br />

between spirit and matter. This understanding <strong>of</strong>ten makes the individual
