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