The glyph of Aquarius, Aquarius is an Air sign, some folks say these are twin lightning bolts, also ...aren't clouds water bearers too?



In Ancient Egypt, the hieroglyphic sign for water was a horizontal zigzag line; the small sharp crests appear to represent wavelets or ripples on the water's surface.

The English language still has the remnants of this symbol. W for WATER, WET, WAVE, WASH, WHIRLPOOL.



There is more to Aquarius’ symbol, than meets the eye. The two waves which make up the symbol, has since ancient time represented the two snakes of Wisdom, you find these two snakes wrapped around a stick, in the medical industry.



Quote
Caduceus is a winged staff with two snakes wrapped around it. It was an ancient astrological symbol of commerce and is associated with the Greek god Hermes, the messenger for the gods, conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves. It was originally a herald's staff, sometimes with wings, with two white ribbons attached. The ribbons eventually evolved into snakes in the figure-eight shape.

The number eight is important to the practitioners of judicial astrology.In some cases, depictions of the Greek kerykeion can be radically different from that of the traditional caduceus. These representations will feature the two snakes atop the wand (rod), crossed to create a circle with the heads of the snakes resembling "horns." In this form, it looks remarkably similar to the symbol for the planet Mercury - while Mercury the god is the Roman name for Hermes, who carries the kerykeion, or caduceus.

In some cases, depictions of the Greek kerykeion can be radically different from that of the traditional caduceus (as in the picture at right). These representations will feature the two snakes atop the wand (rod), crossed to create a circle with the heads of the snakes resembling "horns." In this form, it looks remarkably similar to the symbol for the planet Mercury - while Mercury the god is the Roman name for Hermes, who carries the kerykeion, or caduceus.

In the seventh century, the caduceus came to be associated with a precursor of medicine, based on the Hermetic astrological principles of using the planets and stars to heal the sick.


As a symbol for medicine, the caduceus is often used interchangeably with the Rod of Asclepius (single snake, no wings), although learned opinion prefers the Rod of Asclepius, reserving the caduceus for representing commerce.

Historically, the two astrological symbols had distinct meanings in alchemical and astrological principles. Some medical organizations join the serpents of the caduceus with rungs to suggest a DNA double-helix.

The symbol's origins are thought to date to as early as 2600 BC in Mesopotamia, and there are several references to a caduceus-like symbol in the Bible, namely in Numbers 21:4­9, and 2 Kings 18:4. During the Exodus, Moses was instructed by God to fashion a pole upon which he was to position a serpent made of bronze; when looked upon, this Nehushtan, as it was called in Hebrew, would spare the lives of the Israelites stricken by venomous snake bites.

The intent was that people would look upward and be reminded to pray to God, but eventually the meaning was forgotten and this symbol was apparently worshiped by the Hebrew people until the reign of Hezekiah as described in 2 Kings 18:4.Walter Burkert has two figures in his book which show a rod with two intertwined snakes winding around a central axis from Mesopotamia in 2200 BC, and a similar image from Crete in 700 BC.

If you ever visit Egypt, then this symbol will be the most obvious to see upon the ancient walls.
The signs for Water in Ancient Egypt

It is the element of Air and Water, the air belongs to the intuitive higher intelligence, which is the upper wave of the Aquarius symbol.
Actually even in our modernized society, we find a connection to this symbol, and it is found in each beliefs system, the use of water, to purify or cleanse.

The Aquarius sign features in the Dendera zodiac, with three zig-zags, but now knowing that no-one knows where these signs originated(Seiss), it's up for debate, knowing now too that Aqaurius is in no way a water sign but an air sign i see it mostly as clouds, secondly as lightning.

I don't see what then glyph has to do with the caduceus, seems like piling things on top of one another un-necessarily, a big mess, best to stay focused, Scorpio deals with the caduceus.

Yes, as with all signs Aqaurius has it's oddities and contradictions. As the "Water-barer" one might assume that it is a water related sign. Also with the Sumerian/Egyptian water glyph we see what could be a water association. However, the Caduceus is definitely an Air symbol related to Hermes/Thoth/Mercury. Thus we see that a symbol that might appear water related is in fact an Air symbol.

It is this way with all the signs. They have their secrets and oddities and many layers.

Scorpio deals with secret sacred higher hidden knowledge, Aquarius with new ideas, Scorpio is a water sign, fixed, dealing with the underworld and the sub-conscious, i do appreciate knowing that the Aquarius glyph is a hierloglyph too. Hmm ...Aqua.

What about Virgo ruled my Mercury. Or Gemini, also ruled by Mercury.



The water glyph is linked to the caduceus via Sumerian/Egyptian mythology and the winged or feathered serpent. Thus the serpent and the eagle are one in the same and both represent Scorpio along with the Scorpion.

Interesting mythology to research

That is a great observation, i see what your saying, i at this point haven't really gotten to know the planets yet, like i still don't know what exaltation would mean- though i look forwards to reading about it, just trying to skip through the signs, the spiritual cycle of the zodiac.
I'd like to point out this very old french drawing that i got framed, it contains insight, but also the Aquarius glyph seems more like clouds than waves, remember clouds are water bearers from the air. Grin

I like the clouds as Water-bearers idea. Mist and fog would also fit.



As this image depicts more cloud like swirls than water you have a point.  Smiley

Aquarius is opposite Leo, Sunny vs Cloudy, the spiritual lesson for this sign is 'change', the weather's changeable at this time of the year, i have a great gospel connection to share too but maybe some already see where we're going with this particular study, some of these Star Gazers claim certain 'ownage' of the NT, and ...who knows, maybe there right.
I got me a large print bible a few weeks ago in anticipation of re-reading Mark and the associated chapters in the other three books, it has mostly made sense for me but as i've yet to complete the course i'm feeling a little hung out to dry right now.
Thanks for your awesome input Brocke, thanks also to CX for the company, and Agent for my many edits.
Yes we're close to the end with this study but only at the beginning really.

Quote from: SongBird
The Sufis tell an illuminating and humorous story which suggests a more liberal attitude to scripture than that of the literalists. A preacher, renowned for his wisdom, drew large crowds wherever he went. At the end of his sermons he would often be asked the secret of his great wisdom. He always replied 'I am wise because i know what is in the Koran.' One day, a questioner decided to probe further: 'Tell us, then. Just what is in the Koran?' 'In the Koran', replied the teacher, 'there are two pressed flowers and a letter from my friend Abdullah.'  Bill Darlison

Good one!  I modified it, made it about the Bible, and told it to some of my more aware Christian friends who seemed appreciative.

Quote
The Second Coming
William Butler Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight; somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Please never do that again.  This one, depending upon my mood, tends to toss me into a paroxysm of apocalyptic anxiety from which I can ever barely recover.   Grin

Let's contrast Scorpio, the fixed sign that precedes Aquarius...The Scorpionic lesson is 'Sacrifice', now lets take the iniciates of the Mystery School, thirty years they had to give up for the 'knowledge', no sacrifice - no victory, i.e. you gotta put the hours in, but ...The Water Bearer, it ain't about diving into the books for knowledge, it's about ideas, so these new ideas that the man brings, where do these ideas come from?, please note if we are to accept the spirit of the coming age it ain't something that happens automatic, once the age is here we ain't all gonna start flying about with bloody x-ray vision, perhaps it's a matter of 'getting into the swing of things'?, anyways, ...Aquarius, the man with 'the ideas that bring change',
What type of ideas would these be and what would rouse them?

"Ancient philosophers were priests. The Greeks wrote copiously on this subject. Plato, Pythagrus, the historian Herodotus and others each spent between 20-30 years being educated and iniciated into the "mysteries".

"In the Kabbala and in the writings of Plato we find reference to the creaton of man, woman, and a third sex. The latter was driven from society, being called the 'deviant creation'.''

Very important info! The Egypt, Phoenicia, Jerusalem, Tibet, India journey is key.



Quote
"... In Egypt the child, Yesu received education of reading and writing and he was reading and singing Holy Scripture ... when he was five years of age. When the seventh year of Yesu came to pass, he was moved with his mother to the schools of the Greeks of Alexandria to learn the tradition. When the 11th year of Yesu came to pass, he was moved with his mother to the Hebrew schools of Siphora in Galilee to learn the tradition. ...

When Yesu was a young man and his year was fourteen he took the caravan up to the plains of Dash't and continued his schooling as his ministry began. ...

"... "It is not certain what route Jesus took on his journey to the East. Here [above] is one possible itinerary via ancient roads and trade routes, reconstructed from Notovich, Abhedananda, and Roerich texts and legends: Jesus departed Jerusalem (follow the yellow line), took the Silk Road to Bactra, headed south to Kabul, crossed the Punjab and proceeded to a Jain area on the Kathiawar peninsula where Jain temples were later built bear the town of Palitana. He crossed India to Juggernaut (Puri), made trips to Rajariha (Rajgir), Benares, and other holy cities and, fleeing his enemies went to Kapilavatsu--birthplace of Gautama Buddha. Jesus took a trail just west of Mt. Everest to Lhasa (where the palace of the Dalai Lama was built in the 17th century). On the return trip (follow the violet line), he took the caravan route to Leh, went south to the state of Rajputana and the north to Kabul. He proceeded on the southern trade route through Persia where Zoroastrian priests abandoned him to wild beasts. Jesus survived and arrived unharmed in Jerusalem." Map and text from The Lost Years of Jesus. ...". ]

That woman really put out the fire, eh?

Put out the furorof the (solar) hero.  She saps his strength.  Here seen as a negative for the warrior.

Of course, it was a pretty misogynous tradition that this narrative sprang out of.

If we did not live in kaliyuga, peace really would mean weakness instead of strength, but we don't have to worry about that yet. 

One must struggle for one's peace in this world, right now.

Samson, of course is also the model Nazorite.  He does not drink  (absence of moisture).

Decans of Aquarius

Pegasus, whose name probably derives from the Greek 'pegai', the Springs of the Ocean, eventually became the Thundering Horse of Jove that carried the divine lightning.
The first part of his or her rider's name, Pega, Peka, or Pecha, in the Noetic dialects means 'the chief'; and the latter part, sus, means, not only 'a horse', but 'swiftly coming or returning' with the idea of joy-bringing; hence 'The chief, coming forth again in great victory, and with good tidings and blessings to those to whom he comes'. The ancient names of the stars which make up this constellation are - Markab 'the returning', Scheat 'he who goeth and returneth'.

Seiss

Cygnus, the swan.
Cygnus was called Tesark, meaning 'This from Afar' ...It's name in both Greek and Latin means 'circling and returning'. The brightest star is Deneb 'The Lord Comes' ...This star is also called Ariden, which means 'he shall come down' ...The two stars in the tail, Azel and Fafage, have names meaning 'Who Returns Quickly' and 'Shining Forth'.

Mark 14 1-9
After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
Patanjali

When the Buddha Bubba attained enlightenment :

'The earth itself shuddered as if drunk with bliss and no-one anywhere was angry, ill or sad; none was proud, the world became quite quiet as though it had attained full perfection'.
Rinpoche

I believe the Aquarian segment of the spiritual cycle could be the point we gain full consciousness, having, in Capricorn, broken from Saturn's silly structures to go at it alone, we reach a certain point where all we once held as true encouners Saturn the Destroyer, shaking our worlds inside, which ultimately, in the macro, shakes the outside physical world too, the ripple effect if you like.
I believe Mark, at beginning of his Aquarian section(ch13), telling of the future destruction of the Temple, was explaining the new coming Piscean age, everything else was allegorical, describing the Aquarian phase through the Hebrew idea of the Day of the Lord, that would be preceded by disasters etc.
As we have said, REAL change does not come about lightly, it involves turmoil, our interior universe is turned upside down and these influences from the realization of the kingdom of God, spread to places the individual can only imagine.

The Sanskrit name for planet Jupiter is Guru ('Gu' means darkness, 'Ru' means remover) - one who reveals the light within. In Vedic mythology, he is in the form of Lord Dakshinamoorthy.

Jupiter is a 'Satvik' (pure and pious) planet. The maximum intensity of radiation of a Satvik planet is 610 nm. The Shadbala strength of a planet is directly proportional to the radiation from the planet.

Jupiter is the only planet that is empowered to nullify any affliction that is caused by the other planets around. It is said that - 'If Jupiter blesses a person, it would nullify millions of negative influences'. Simply put, Jupiter is the channel of maximum divine help.

In Roman mythology, Jupiter (Iuppiter in Latin) held the same role as Zeus in the Greek pantheon1. He was called Juppiter Optimus Maximus Soter (Jupiter Best, Greatest, Saviour); as the patron deity of the Roman state, he ruled over laws and social order. He was the chief god of the Capitoline Triad, with Juno and Minerva. In Latin mythology Jupiter is the father of Mars. Therefore, Jupiter is the grandfather of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.

Iuppiter, originating in a vocative compound derived from archaic Latin Iovis and pater (Latin for father), was also used as the nominative case. Jove is a less common English formation based on Iov-, the stem of oblique cases of the Latin name. Additionally, linguistic studies identify his name as deriving from the Indo-European compound * dyēus- pəter- ("O Father God"), the Indo-European deity from whom also derive the Germanic *Tiwaz (from whose name comes the word Tuesday), the Greek Zeus, and the Vedic equivalent, Dyaus Pita.

The name of the god was also adopted as the name of the planet Jupiter, and was the original namesake of Latin forms of the weekday known in English as Thursday but originally called Iovis Dies in Latin, giving rise to jeudi in French, jueves in Castilian, giovedì in Italian and dijous in Catalan.

ref.
1. Females born with their sun in Pisces can often have "father issues" or issues with a paternal (dominant) authority figure. Being extremely sensitive, trusting and capricious they can gravitate to a "father" (Zeus) figure for security and stability living in their shadow.

I was channel surfing on my shortwave radio yesterday, Sunday, and heard the Vatican (Latin liturgy) quoting this one, from the Psalms (19), and I was reminded of this thread.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.” (NIV)

He made the stars also.

Genesis 1vs16

The Bible itself came into being at a time when astral mythology was in constant vogue, and was written for the most part after the Hebrew people had spent fifty years of exile(586-536bc) in astrologically oriented Babylon. Since it was produced in such a context it would be remarkable if the Bible did not show signs of astrological influence.
Darlison



Isaiah 47vs13
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.


The prophetic tradition in general is opposed to any doctrine or divinatory technique that would undermine belief in the absolute power of God. For Isaiah or for Jeremiah there can be no intermediate powers exercising control in God's universe; and there can be no cosmic factors upon which human beings can heap the blame for their own shortcomings. The moral relation between man and God demands human accountability and this can only be intelligible if people have free will.

To sweep smooth Seas with Nets, to drag the Sand
And draw the leaping Captives to the land.

Manilius



In referring to this sign, along with Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius, as 'bi-corporeal', Ptolemy was, in part, describing it's 'linking' character. These signs, called 'Mutable' in modern astrology, come at the end of each of the four energy pulses of the solar cycle, the equinoxes and solstices, and so join one cycle with the next. As the energy from one pulse diminishes, another one begins to build up.
Darlison



Alan Watt on 'Spirituality'
"The way to -- this overblown, overused word, which is covering everything today, called "spirituality," -- the way to it is through yourself. Through a maturing and full recognition of who you are, with all the pluses and minuses, and all the good deeds and bad deeds. It's self-reflection. It's also the ability to empathize with others, so you do not need it explained to you, when you say, "what would I feel if I were in this person's shoes? How would I be?”  It's a getting out of yourself, after looking at yourself.  At those around the world who exist, and those to come, that's the only connection there is. The real connection, and empathy is connection."
[...]
"Self-exploration is not a matter of taking drugs, so that the sea of unconsciousness, all the material in the world, can break out into a waking state, a surrealistic daydream.  Greater things can happen. Much, much greater things can happen, if you follow that which is within yourself, and you know yourself. "Know Thyself" is the whole of the law. Not, “do what thou wilt” is the whole of the law. That's for the elite."

'It may now be better for you to consider a filter removal rather than a replacement if you own a dual filter camera, i.e., 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 40D, 50D or 1000D.'

^^I spoke with this guy on the phone today, seems pretty cool.



The problem is that we tend to seek an easy and painless answer.
But this kind of solution does not apply to the spiritual path
...Once we commit ourselves to the spiritual path, it is very
painful and we are in for it. We have commited ourselves to the
pain of exposing ourselves, of taking off our clothes, our skin, our
nerves, heart, brain, until we are exposed to the universe. Nothing
will be left. It wil be terrible, excruciating, but that is the way it is.

Does Satan break into houses, too.  Or, is that just Saint Nick?

My pleasure, truly.

Nicky was probably a flat-earther like Auggie; like most of the catholic holidays, they be based on the stars, 22 December – 20 January, Capricorn, ruled by Santa, ...er Saturn.

[Back to Pisces]


Andromeda, Decan to Pisces

Matthew 12 vs 40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.


John 12 vs 24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.


Mark 15 32-33
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.




The resurrection took place at the Passover, the spring equinox, when the sun was going into Aries from Pisces; 'Helios' the Greek word for sun, in the vocative is 'Helie'.

Mark 15 vs 34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Matthew 27 vs 46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?




Jesus was killed on Friday, the day of Venus, the planet exalted in Pisces, Jesus arose on Sunday, the day of the Sun, the planet exalted in Aries.

All the pics i took myself in this thread were done with the lens that came with the camera, now i know a little more about photography i can say that getting a camera is only half the battle, it's the lens that's gonna decide how your pics are, and with that said i'd like to relay this info to ya'll, ...ready?

Amazon -- the new home of child pornography.

Derrrr...NWO prepping attack on free speech.

The only way this insanity gets distributed is if the NWO IS DISTRIBUTING IT!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS A PROVACATEUR OPERATION!

The NWO forces this to be published (when 300 million people do not want it published) so they can use it to monitor all electronic books, pdfs, etc. They already monitor this, but they do it illegally, they want even more BS legislation insanity.




Threats of Amazon boycott over sales of ‘Pedophile’s Guide’
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/amazon-boycott-pedophiles-guide/
By The Associated Press
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 -- 4:13 pm


Amazon.com Inc. is selling a self-published guide that offers advice to pedophiles, and that has generated outrage on the Internet and threats to boycott the retailer.

The availability of "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover's Code of Conduct" calls into question whether Amazon has any procedures — or even an obligation — to vet books before they are sold in its online stores. Amazon did not respond to multiple e-mail and phone messages.

The title is an electronic book available for Amazon's Kindle e-reader and the company's software for reading Kindle books on mobile phones and computers. Amazon allows authors to submit their own works and shares revenue with them.

Boycott Amazon.
