General Comments :

The Ascendant is Rising at 2º, indicating that all of the Soul's Purpose will be
revealed in this life, and is progressively revelatory.
 There are interceptions in the 4th & 10th Houses, indicating restrictions and
gifts within the professional and domestic areas of the subject's life.

The planets of short term karma (Mars T ), and long term karma ( Saturn U )
are conjunct each other and in Scorpio, although in adjacent Houses. Pluto
( „ ) is also in Scorpio, and whilst not in aspect are related and altogether in
the Nadir of the Horoscope, suggesting tremendous transformations toward
personality integration.
 At the time of writing, the subject is experiencing the 1st Saturn Return,
transiting Saturn being conjunct it's natal position.
The Saturn Return
I am reviewing the subject's horoscope from the view of the Soul's Purpose and its
intent in this life, While at the exact time the subject is experiencing the First Saturn
Return.
This is a time when we are stripped bare of youthful dreams and wishes and the
harsh realities of life stare us in the face. We no longer have the time to ponder that
elusive period of, 'when I grow up', it is a period, now, when we consolidate that
which has served us in the past, or that which has served our Soul expression. And
we see that which has hindered our soul or Soul's expression and decide that these
'unhelpful', hindering qualities must be dissolved away, out of our personality
vehicle.
Consolidation, a good Saturn(ian) word, should be borne in mind while we
synthesise those qualities and disciplines we have learned in our earlier years.
These then become stepping stones, rocks of surety as we tread in the present and
make our headway, spiritually speaking, into our future life.
The subjects has Virgo Rising (h) and Service is a major word and note of that
sign.
The Saturn Return is a testing time. The world it seems, our world, is torn asunder
and the very ground we stand on seems unable to bear our weight. In ancient
mythology, Saturn was also the God of Harvest and in this harvest time, the subject
must decide which and what of the crop (10th + h) that lay in the field (h) of his
consciousness he will take with him, and that which he must leave on the ground,
to dissolve once more into the matter or material world, from which it sprung.
A challenging aspect of the subject's natal Saturn position is, firstly that it is
retrograde and secondly it is in direct opposition to the natal Moon position in
Taurus in the 9th House, the Second Vector in the Soul's Purpose Aspect. The
Saturn aspect reads as follows:

For some time, Transiting Saturn has been Retrograde, it is currently Direct.
Whereas a retrograde planet offers opportunity, the fact that Saturn is now Direct
implies, in fact it stamps the fact, that while conjunct the native's Natal Saturn
Retrograde, this is the opportunity par excellence to focus (a) upon this very
necessary requirement.

This calls to mind the poem by Francis Thompson, 'The Hound Of Heaven':
I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;
I fled Him, down the arches of the years;
I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways
of my own mind, and in the midst of tears
I hid from Him, and under running laughter
up vistaed hopes I sped;
and shot, precipitated,
adown Titanic glooms of chasmed fears,
from those strong feet that followed, followed after.
But with unhurrying chase,
and unpeturbed pace,
deliberate speed, majestic instancy,
They beat - and a Voice beat
more instant than the feet 'All things betray Thee, who betrayest me'.
The above is only the first two stanzas of the whole poem and it is strongly
suggested that the subject familiarise himself, if not learn by heart the poem, as it is
rich with esoteric and spiritual portent.
It would be a useful work to add to the Spiritual Diary, perhaps a stanza per night or
week, to be pondered and reflected upon.
And all of the above are references to the Saturn Return. With only 2º on the
Ascendant, the Soul or Higher Self is at the native's heels. Saturn in this instance
refering to the Spiritual Father, symbolised and reflected in the Soul of the native.
With Mercury as Ruler of the 9th House in Pisces in the 7th House, and Trine to
Pluto Retrograge related to Mars in Scorpio, the Hound of Heaven truly is at the
heels:

Compound Complex:
The Voice Of The Silence speaks:
'This aspect demands Silence in the ranks!'
Literally, while meditating on the above aspect, the above command came through
the ethers from The Voice Of The Silence. In this case, The Voice of The Ashram.
This not just an interesting euphemism, this is a direct command and instruction to
the subject to learn to live & walk in the silence and stillness of the Higher Self, the
Soul. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the subject practise meditation on
a daily regular basis.

2). Ceres, the Goddess of wheats & cereals.
The first meditation 1). symbol given above, 'Red Sails In The Sunset' was
presented to me as a waking Lucigram. As a Taurus Rising, I am frequently
presented with a relevant song (Taurus rules singing) upon waking. Virgo and the
6th rules silhouettes and the 7th House rules sunsets.
The song itself deals with a boat going out to sea ( the sea of the unconscious), in
search of the singer's love, (the Anima) and for the sailor (Mercury E), to the return
the beloved to the lover.
The second symbol again illustrates a sunset as ruled by the 7th House and
particularly the Sun in the 7th. It is interesting to note that the symbol of a sunset is
often given to a student via Lucigram, in meditation or as here, found in the
horoscope and the Soul's Purpose aspect, to indicate the drawing towards the end
of a series of lives.
The third symbol is patently clear and shows Ceres, the ancient Goddess bearing
the fruits of harvest. And whilst it is not seen, it is the scythe (U Saturn), which is
the tool of harvest symbolising the student garnering the fruits of attending to and
practising the esoteric disciplines and passing through the Saturn Return with right
motive.
As a bonus, on another morning the song:
'I've Got You Under My Skin'
by Frank Sinatra, was presented.
The Bellows Breath
The Bellows Breath is strongly suggested in this horoscope, and should be utilised
as part of the daily routines prior to and during meditation. Care should be taken not
to overdo it as this can lead to tinitus and inflation of the personality, or as in the
words of Carl G. Jung, Ego Inflation. This leads to alienation of the personality from
the Inner Self.

Karma & Previous lives
Abraham Lincoln - B. February 12th 1809. D. April 15 1865.
Abraham Lincoln was 16th President of the United States of America who
preserved (Q t W r I) the Union (I intercepted) and brought about the
emnacipation of the slaves (VqEtWswU)
Abraham Lincoln had two nicknames, 'Honest Abe' and 'The Great Emancipator'.
He was a Civil Rights Activist, a Lawyer and U. S. representative. His high moral
views about the absolute wrong of slavery made Lincoln many enemies. That he
was completely uncorrupted and unbribable didn't help his case. He was even less
popular when he announced as President his:
V (9/10) q E(8/9)
Emancipation Proclamation
This was so unpopular with the slave owners and the Southern States, that he was
assassinated while attending the theatre.
A further life between that of Lincoln and the present incarnation is indicated by
Aries on the Cusp of the 9th House. This is strongly suggestive of the Great War WWI and further information will be revealed when the full implications of the life of
Abraham Lincoln have been assimilated.
*
There is one more symbol for meditation I have for you.
'I want to die with my marching boots on!'*
This one of a plethora of symbols I received from the Soul's Purpose Aspect from
the subject's horoscope.
*That is in Service to the Soul. In that way we can be of best Service to Humanity.
The whole theme of this horoscope, is Service before everything. There is another
important keyword for Virgo, and that is Duty. The Soul has taken on the duty in
this life to be of service to the Ashram and humanity. But this does not mean that
we must relinquish our Dharma.
