A man trimming palms.

A balloon.
An old book lying open upon a table, and beside it a burning lamp.
Realistic fancy idealizes the female or vegetal aspect of nature,
and a harmo~ious or adhesive evolution of self: the attempt
to apply personal simultaneity to or for process results (through
enforced time-ordination, and recurring lapses of support) in a
transforming motion at the upper level of being, directing life
towards a primarily fluid, extravert, and individual completeness
of reunitive order. The self adapts its resilience to a rudimentary
concept of growth by concomitant motion as the ultimate
vindication of its reuniting will.

Winter frost in the woods.
A spacious room filled with expensive furniture, among which several
mirrors are to be seen.
A marketplace, in which several young men are in dispute, and asserting
their respective opinions by the free use of cudgels.
"Dead motion" as a sinker: self-vindication becomes a "greedy
vibration." Evolutionary-reunitive egoism, or assertion of the
self's right to differ and expand, lowers the level of becoming.
The stress of tendency to concretion in the outer world forces
the self towards concentration of its mental movement, pattern-
alt~ration, or growth at a lower and fluidly material level of
bemg. Shivering. Resonance. The helpless egoism of all things.
"The shimmies." Hula-hula.
SAGITTARIUS 25.
(Spontaneity)
A chubby boy on a hobbyhorse.
A man in a balloon with dark clouds beneath him. 107
Three cups of wine standing upon a table in the form of a triangle.
The centaur: the elastic play of various energy about fixed pur-
pose creates the materially self-defining principle. The attempt to
impose re-creative process upon outer simultaneity results in
condensation at the lower level of being, directing life towards a
merely symbolic, representative, or individual material redistri-
bution of substance. The self rearranges its coagulation in accord
with a rudimentary concept of personal or microcosmic concre-
tion as the ultimate expression of its re-creative will. Chivalry.
SAGITTARIUS 26.
( - -)
A flag-bearer.
A giant of monstrous dimensions.
A mask representing the face of a hound.
Standard-raising: a sense of the importance of self-stabilizing in a
material elevation. Concrete-creative egoism, or assertion of the
self's particular significance to life. The stress of increasing
uncertainty or motion in simultaneity makes the downward
hardening turn upward, and forces the self into a concentration
of its increasingly patterned faculty of self-redistribution
towards a higher material center, a single valid concretion for the
sake of ultimate control, dictation, or keeping up with things.
Pride enforced by fear or doubt. Insecurity's bluff.

A gypsy coming out of the forest.
108 A large room, on the ceiling of which is a gilded star.
A young man of disheveled appearance sitting upon a barren rock by the

Damage, or revolutionary congruence: a discovery of the power
of "greedy vibration," self-propagating motion or self-distin-
guishing change to "rot pattern" or undermine death and order.
Growth-oriented thought projects its own ideal-symbolic
"perversion" of nature in imaginatively developed form as a

A man declared bankrupt.
A baronial mansion with spacious park abounding with gigantic trees.

Lear: invalidation or melting of the frame of order; the loosing of
system into organic flux. Damage results in a sudden enforced

Nature e:riforces a material-organic indefiniteness or irregularity

Swimming vision and stultification.

A beautiful star of the color and size of the planet Venus, situated about
50° from the midheaven; it shines brighter and brighter, then suddenly

An old bridge over a beautiful stream.
A funeral procession and an open grave, and a great concourse of

A tortoise.
Milo, or idiosyncratic clenching: the binding of rearranging
purpose in hard-and-fast relations. Shuffling process results in a
sudden concreteness of personai connection; and nature
enforces a material-concrete or crystalline-personal mode upon
the self's communication of its value. Stare or uncouth decisive-
ness. Realizing power of the grotesque. "Caught awkward" or
"caught bending" situations.

The first mockingbird in spring. A fat boy mowing the lawn.

110 A man flogging a boy with a horsewhip.
A gloomy sky filled with scudding clouds. A flight of blackbirds are

Self-loosening discipline: an escape from the relating of residual
or fragmentary system with flux. Reunion becomes itself fluid
and evasive; and ideal change becomes a strenuous dissipating
movement progressively abstracting from or countering all
ideal concretizing impulse, all particular or individual tendency
to rest in pattern. Dissolving subordination of the self to the
notself or cosmos as pure will.
111
A dissecting room, where there are a number of medical men engaged in

Self-constricting discipline: the escape from the relating of self-

The feminine pole as passive establishment: self becomes a

thoroughly reduced or vestigial will to reunitive order is now
completely dispersed, immersed or dissipated in organic

A spade proh1ding from the soil.
The rrasculine pole as dispassionate establishment: self becomes
a dispositive attitude. Authoritative rigidity of the accidental
self as apex. Complete abstraction from organic involvement
gives the self universal or polar reference as a material concen-

A well-fruited vine hanging upon an old wall beneath the sunshine of a

The feminine pole as active readiness to be different: the "loose-
foot" degree of polarized mobility. Residual symbols of unity
are projected into ulterior process towards a discoverable unity
of motion, or continuity of change. Individuality is prospectively
derived, by a focusing of future liberations and developments
in the self as a "location in potential," all patterns temporarilv
centered here having larger eccentric expressions in a potentialiy
different self. Passive femaleness becomes feminine willingness.

A man suspended over a vast level place.
A man in a greenhouse, with a watering can, watering some fiowering

A dog standing over a bare bone; in front of it are two others half

Waking, awakening, or jealous needing: freedom becomes a
problem in the freeing of things or of the impounded, as the will
to expanded movement is confronted with inertia, with micro-
cosmic constancy, or with alien tenacity of purpose. Potential
individuality becomes aware of its factual opposite as a self-
referent system of processing concretion, which it views from an
isolating conceptuality as a reserve containing or withholding
material potential of self's own growth into otherness.

Ripe propaganda: the masculine pole as dispositive purpose.
Summary will; a keystone degree of polarized empirical validity.
Residual process is gathered into ulterior pattern or ultimate
destiny; and individuality has great involutionary immediacy, is
retrospectively or introspectively derived by a complication of
past differentiations within the self as a compound "location in
fact" or summary representative of general becoming, all redis-
tributive impulse centered here having the power or substance to

Sleep, the will to dream, or jealous having: summary inclusion
becomes a problem of excluding life, as the will to symbolic
individual completeness is confronted with alien instability,
destructiveness, or elusiveness, and wearies of coping with outer
difference. Factual individuality becomes aware of its potential
opposite as a self-referent expanding change, which it views
from an isolating coherence as a field hostile to its own totally-
derived self-elaboration. Fear. Contemplation. The economy
of dreaming as the individual arrangement of images. Lower

Thievishness, or devotion to inner freedom of right: liberating
alienation is wound up or locked in the individuality as

relating particular states with the totality of states; and the extent
and complexity of spatial or simultaneous crystalline reference
is thus freed from prior particular restrictions of exploration
in time or sequence.

means of relating particular or individual change with the
totality of changes. The depth and complexity of individual time-

principles and authoritative general conditions in the field of its
derivation and activity, results in sane selection within the self of
"hardy particulars" of vitality, as the potential bearers of its
"immortality" or continuity in transposed life.

APPENDIX

The Thirty Degrees: General Characteristics of Degrees

within Signs

1.
..,_ Present Sign: Vulcan of Saturn, Saturn of Janus
..,_ Previous Sign: Vulcan of Venus, Saturn of Vulcan
In any sign the first degree is unique as combining four modes:
it is the Vulcan degree of the Saturn arc of its sign, the Saturn of
that sign's Janus, and also the Vulcan of the last sign's Venus arc
and the Saturn of its Vulcan. It is the end of an old reconcentration
and the beginning of new polarization. This in effect makes the first
degree a point at which a definite shift occurs-where the interac-
tion of the last opposites forces the being to identify itself at some
new point or in some new region of its blended or dual modal
structure. An old resultant motion, the expression of closely im-
plicated antagonistic motions, becomes a new motion by transfer
to a new field. The self becomes this new subject, and has conse-
quently a new object, of which its consciousness is still diffuse and
inexplicit.
2.
..,_ Present Sign: Janus of Janus
..,_ Previous Sign: Janus of Vulcan
The second degree is one of extreme polarization. It intensely
narrows the identification of that which it is to be aware of and
ultimately to deal with the new opposite, though the style of aware-
203

ness is here preliminary, still naive, and practically ignorant of what
it is up against, and more precisely conscious in its awareness of
the outgoing sign's stylistic encumbrance.
204
3.
.,.. Present Sign: Diana of Janus
.,.. Previous Sign: Diana of Vulcan
T~e third ~egre~ ~s o~e in which the consequences of this highly
polarized self-identificat10n develop. An exploration of its own special
faculty-brooding, exultant, automatic, as the case may be-and the
effect of its use :iron what can be done in the new field or against
the new opposite, and the fact that this specialization can have
counteractive effect, enter consciousness. In a word, the third de-
gree envisages a technique and establishes attitude.
4.
.,.. Present Sign: Tellus of Janus
.,.. Previous Sign: Tellus of Vulcan
The fourth degree, trying out counteraction, becomes a crisis
in pure awareness of the opposite, which is now perceived to be
everywhere immediate to the being, and of equal force as a con-
tributive determinant of becoming. It is a provisional focus of the
sign as ~ w~ole, and a deliberate negation of the last: the point
~h~r~ fire signs become consciously total, cardinals consciously
individual, and commons consciously relative. The fact or full im-
pact of modal opposition occupies this degree.
5.
.,.. Present Sign: Jupiter of Janus
.,.. Previous Sign: Jupiter of Vulcan
!h~ fifth. degree is one of inward and outward co111plicatio11, a
ram~fymg remforcement, specialization, and "revving up" of per-
ceptive or counteractive technique, an enthusiasm for 1111d detailed
sense of the new cognitive expression of self which relegates ~he vestigial
mode of the last sign to indifference or decay, and a full conscious-
ness of the field which surrounds the self, of the natur1 and extent
of that field. 1 r
I
6.
.,.. Present Sign: Venus of Janus
.,.. Previous Sign: Venus of Vulcan
The sixth degree, while it stores the knowledge of the sign's 205
opposite field given previously, is also essentially reminiscent: it
r~calls the last semi-sextile degree to consciousn~ss, as if ior pe-
rusal, comparison, and dismissal after the adopting of any pattern-
elements useful to its own pattern. This reminiscence of a prior
sixth degree which has been itself likewise reminiscent of prior
semi-sextiles constitutes sixth degrees as existing i11 a chain of remi-
niscence with all other sixth degrees. This contributes a tcrgo a cir-
cularity to the being's forward exploratory movement in the Diana
arc which is now imminent, and is thus one of the "rotary marks"
of the zodiac.
7.
.,.. Present Sign: Vulcan of Janus, Saturn of Diana
.,.. Previous Sign: Vulcan of Vulcan
The seventh degree (Vulcan of the Janus arc and Saturn of Diana)
is also the Vulcan of Vulcan of the previous sign. With the final
evanescence of the outgoing mode there occurs a kind of vacuum
in consciousness along with a stirring towards active exploration
of the opposite's field and nature, for with the dying mode of be-
coming there vanishes the awareness of that mode's vanishing op-
posite, which creates the nostalgia of a lost known. This nostalgia
initiates the self's entry into exploration of the opposite; it goes
a-seeking what it has lost on this degree, in a diagrammatic spiral
dictated by the last degree's circularity of reminiscence.
8.
.,.. Janus of Diana
The eighth degree, cleared of the previous sign's mode, moves
freely into exploration of the opposite mode, and is a point of ready
adjustment of motion to the encountered facts. It yields to charm and
identifies the self's mode of attack or entry to the notself, and readily
adopts for exploratory purposes the necessary distortion or modi-
fication of its own naive style. Accordingly, any special emphasis
on eighth degrees in a horoscope gives an unusual sense of material
to be dealt with, or in a word, tact.
 'W
9.
..,. Diana of Diana
The ninth degree is eagerly ambivalent or imitative; it mimics in
206 its own style the style, motion, or structure of the opposite.
10.
..,. Tellus of Diana
The tenth degree is a point of engaging, meshing in inquisitizie
action, or cooperative experimental movement; it is the most effi-
cient stage of the exploratory arc, and is always informative.
11.
..,. Jupiter of Diana
The eleventh degree is a lunge, a headlong plunging forward,
acceleration, and abandonment of balanced movement; and expo-
sure of the sign's mode to correction or alteration by the recalcitrant
agility or nonconformity of the opposite.
12.
..,. Venus of Diana
On the twelfth degree the rebuff or correction of mode to which
the being was exposed on the last restores a balance of intimacy: it is
a degree of intimations from the opposite, where truth, or the mar-
riage-in-actuality of opposites, traverses the opposition-in much
the same way that the fact that both Mahler and Wagner ordered
sausage at a luncheon party given to reconcile the two artistic ene-
mies solved their jealous embarrassment, enabling Mahler tn cry
with relief, "Yes, Herr Doctor, sausage! Sausage by all means. That
at any rate is a matter on which we can agree."
13.
..,. Vulcan of Diana, Saturn of Tellus
On the thirteenth degree the actuality of interdewndence ini-
tiated on the last seems suddenly as it were to fasten bn the sign's
forward motion at a material level: the marriage of motions halts
the exploratory drive, and oscillation of the halted motion follows,
wherein the sign sees itself reflected in its opposite. This establishes a
consciousness that self-being is essentiallv an enactment in sl'lt of
opposition in free levels which is a unity ~t a fixed levd.
' I
14.
..,. Janus of Tellus 207
. The fourteent~ degree is one of upset by an intruding play, a
discovery that experience has four elemental compo11e11ts, since it intro-
duces upon the opposition of modes an interesting play between
the last or clockwise semi-sextile sign and the counterclockwise
quincunx sign. This is a degree of tension or disturbance, when the
being nerves itself for inevitable fusion, and a confusion of self with
the_ no~self or opposite results from prevision of the interlocking
which is to come, and from the deflecting interference of tht' other
two elements with direct opponency. Becoming is now not a play
of two opposites but a fusing play of two oppositions.
15.
..,. Diana of Tellus
The fifteenth degree is a discovery of cruciform precision as pro-
pulsive, being always a realization in the sign's elemental mode of
the clockwise square degree's power to determine the issue of the
counterclockwise square degree. In effect this drives or invites the
being towards the next elemental mode (e.g., the power of fiery
Aries over Libra when realized in watery Cancer invites Cancer
towards fiery becoming), and constitutes the fifteenth degree as
the shadow or symbolic suggestion of the next sign.
16.
..,. Tellus of Tellus
The sixteenth degree is always a distracted clinch, a stage of
critical interlocking in the sign's elemental style of all elements, and Mend-
ing, fusion, struggle, or violence with the opposite on absolutely equal
terms, copulation. Here the sign's usual mode becomes a predica-
ment or passion, a loss of authoritative style and even of direct
opposition to the opposite mode, under stress of a sideways to-
and-fro hammering, straining, or shaking by square cross-play.
Taurus 16, for example, is where stability is most disturbed, Scorpio
16 where freedom is most bound, Aquarius 16 where confidence
 ...
in the unifying mind is most doubtful, and Leo 16 where assertion
of power is least massive.
17.
208
.... Jupiter of Tellus
The seventeenth degree is one of ecstasis or coming apart. It is
an excess in critical experience. It reverses the fifteenth's prepon-
derance, for in the seventeenth the counterclockwise square de-
gree determines the issue of the clockwise square degree. Thus
the last elemental mode holds powerfully back as the next invites,
and integrity of motion is lost.
18.
.... Venus of Tellus
The eighteenth degree has a kind of opposite symmetry with
the fourteenth. It invokes the forward quincunx's power of dom-
inating its opposite (the last sign) to reconcentrate the confusion
of critical experience, the passion of the Tellus arc, and is essen-
tially one of mastery or complex competence where the fourfold
embarrassment of elements is worked into efficiency under pres-
idency of the sign's own element, the seventh degree's disturbed
motion, harmonized by the forward quincunxic mode (e.g., for
Scorpio 18, Aries generally), tempering the mode of the last sign
(in the example, Libra).
19.
.... Vulcan of Tellus, Saturn of Jupiter
The nineteenth degree discovers a core or tincture of identity with
its opposite, and is one of tension or discrepancy between wlzat is and
what might be, the self's sympathetic validity being drawn out into
the new cognate-opposite towards wider determinations, and into
a self-exploiting and salvation-exploding action.
20.
.... Janus of Jupiter
I On the twenty-fourth degree the self struggles to re-identify as
The twentieth degree, by extending or heightening the sym-
pathetic component, specializes the being towards ambitious cooperation
or transaction in common terms, while looking far abroad as into an
easy or a dangerously unlimited field of action, while at the same
time it penalizes selfishness or purity of 11111/Jitio11 by indicating what
manner .and d~gree of st~le-loss is necessary to wider appeal or
penetration. It is a degree m which there is a lot of the opposite. 209
21.
.... Diana of Jupiter
The twenty-first degree is one of outswir/ing or free s11mpathetic
spread, an expanding movement which identifies the sens~ in which
the notself provides a vehicle or process for its own dominating ,f
and penetrating sympathetic motion by the peculiarities of the op- ,1

posite mode. 'I

.... Tellus of Jupiter i
On the twenty-second degree the sign reaches the limit of its
effective dominating or insinuating power; it is the ontological limit of
extension inherent in the sign's style as such, a crisis in combina-
tion, for the intimacy of relations with the opposite mode is in
balance with the self's domination of these relations, so that the
original style of the sign makes maximum allowance for the op-
posite style and is only precariously or delicately itself.
23.
.... Jupiter of Jupiter
The twenty-third degree is one of excess in combination or adul-
teration. The mode is wide-flung, spread-eagled, and out of control;
a thinning out, mottling, or alteration of its essential style is the
result, for the self no longer determines the style of its combination
with the opposite.

tangential as it were to the old, becomes real, and there is a glimpse
or wholly imprecise awareness of a new opposition.

The twenty-seventh degree, in which the possibilities of motion
in the new vein are explored, discovers the need of a reversal of the
original style; it is always a contrary withdrawal of energies from the
old direction that they may be deployed in the new.

.... Present Sign: Tellus of Saturn

The twenty-eighth degree, where the energies are equally dis-
posed along the old and the new direction, always sets up central-
circumferential tensions which force an effort of alignment between
the new vein of becoming and the old, and is thus a degree of
clenching responsibility to some novel style, an inquisitorial demand
by circumstance for self-reform.
GLOSSARY

ANGEL (Angelic): a universal and, practically speaking, eternal agent,

specialized in function but not limited in competence; intermit-
tent in predomination, but not subject to growth and decay; a
distinct and comparatively simple active or technical delegation
of Natura naturans, quae est Deus (creative Nature, which is God),
exercised in variable "conspiracy" with other angels for the ma-
terializing of image or production of phenomena. Desire, or at-
traction between separates, and death, or change-suspending
determinateness of state, are typical angelic conspirates of high
order. Zodiacal degrees are angels of lower order. But the tra-
ditional angelic hierarchy of "thrones, dominions, principalities, I'
powers," and so forth cannot be taken into consideration here;
angels are regarded for the present as the whole realm of agency
immediately subordinate to the divine or One Will, not even
excluding the traditionally divine principles of duality and trinity.
CENTRIPETAL: seeking a center or essential unity in self or situation
or both. Symbolically, the recovery of one's balance, or the in-
stinct for getting to know "the right people" are typically
centripetal.
CIRCUMFERENCE: that which is remote from the central or essential
unity of self or situation. Much so-called waste of time is cir-
cumferential becoming.
CONCRETE: of joined or conjunct patterns (see Pattern). Symbolic
examples of the mental-concrete are laws, logical and systematic
constructions (often phenomenally symbolized in glass and
books). Material-concretes are crystalline, mental-concrete frame-
213
 works within which substance has been deposited (phenome-
nally symbolized in stone or dark bodies).
CRYSTALLIZE: to posit or stabilize substance in a concrete frame or
lattice, or to devote energy in the execution of a set or prede-
214 termined plan.
DEATH: the temporary suspension of change or self-motions sym-
bolized in crystallization, rest, silence, animal or vegetable death,
the reduction of thought or emotion to print, and so forth.
DISTRIBUTION: the partitive giving of self, or output of energy or
substance.
ECSTASIS: a violent carrying of self beyond self's normal style or
scope by the energetic predominance of its primitive momen-
tum over the habituality or inertia of the style's qualifying or
antagonistic components, or the tensions determining their scope,
Ecstasis interrupts consistency or coherence.
ENERGY: energy and substance are used as virtually convertible
terms for that which becomes act or phenomenal image.
ENTELECHY: the end, or expressive completeness, to which a strain
of becoming acts as potential.
EXTRAVERT: moving outward from self to notself.
FORM: distinct from pattern (which see); the typical water-made
shape of image or materiality, or altering and evolving character
of a becoming. Complex change and non-mechanical motion in
time are implicit in form, as stability or tension are implicit in
pattern. All formal symbols are curvilinear, or of curved surface.
IDEA: a dynamic mental entity or pattern-complex possessing fac-
ulties of duration, motion, operation, evolution, and attraction
through fiery informing of air.
INTROVERT: moving inward from notself towards self.
INTUITION: the precise alignment of activity with events of which
the causal or involutionary sequence is not apparent, or the
taking into cognition of what has no continuity with the per-
ceived or remembered.
MIND (Mental, Mental-Concrete, Mental-Mechanical): mind is vir-
tually air as faculty, the establisher of pattern. Where aspiration
is in process it abstracts the reunitive factors from their mat~·rial
investment. To the descent of impulse it supplies the rigid cross
of tensions which enable definite materialization. Tpus it is the 1
'
realm of exchange and transmission between creativity and tht•
created, and the realm in which idea exists. The mmt~l-co11crt'lt'
is a valid or consistent and stable complex of patterns. Tht• mt'll-
tal-mechanical is an automatic motion or development of the
mental-concrete, distinct from the freer motion of idea in that it 215
possesses no power of attraction.
NOTSELF: the object; what faces, surrounds, or acts upon the seli
for perception, action, counteraction, endorsement, etc., sym-
bolized in opportunity, wife, enemy, material for work, and so
forth.
ORDER:arrangement or sequence in which the style of pattern pre-
dominates over that of form.
ORGANIC: compound with a water predominance. Becoming in
modes where exchange of substance in forms is comparatively
free from arrest in states or deaths, symbolized in vegetal and
bestial life, the growths and decays of nature.
PARADIGM: an example or typical scheme of potentially larger or
transcendent validity.
PATTERN: a harmonious complex of conioined tensions operating
as a unity.
PLAY: free motion of substance or exercise of energy, in a relevance
of image or delight, and an irrelevance of responsibility to the
existent.
REDUCE (Reduction): to revert from the tendency to distribute, grow,
and multiply variety; reducing is thus not only diminishing but
also ordering in collections taken as units.
REFLECTION: transmission of style between opposites.
SELF: that part of me which seems to be knowing and doing, as
I
distinct from the notself (which see).
·11
SIMULTANEITY: both at-onceness and spatial dispositon with its '1
contents at a moment.
SOUL: an operatively individuated or independent complex int~n­
tion in nature, of mixed mental and ideal compo~ents, which
invest the identity with (mentally) stance or p~ed1cament, and
receptive-reductive faculty, and (ideally) process1veness and self-
giving faculty.
STATE: a tension-held or quiet condition of existence wherein be-
 coming is temporarily exempt from change; virtually identical
with death (which see).
SUBSTANCE: that which becomes the events perceived in nature.
