Promotes intensification of the evolutionary process
Involving each astrological cross, these triangles cover the rulerships of Mercury and are grounded on Earth. They represent the three primary qualities. The signs involved form the fourth triangle.
All this activity is intensified by two facts: one is that the Earth is the Hierarchical ruler of Gemini and … Venus is the esoteric ruler. This intensifies all that goes on and leads to the unfoldment upon our planet of the consciousness of universality… (EA 361)
See the rulerships of Mercury for more details.
- 1. Aries-Gemini-Mercury: Life
- Will aspect
- “The potencies of Gemini-Aries, instilled into our planetary life via Mercury, focus the energy of the conditioning will-to-be upon the Earth, producing initial beginnings as in incarnation, or initiation, or the start of organisation as well as organisms. It should be remembered that there is the will-to-be in form and the will-to-be free from form, but all these aspects of will are achieved through conflict and interplay of which energy both Gemini and Mercury are the eternal symbols.
- The influence of Mercury, as it relates Aries and Gemini to our Earth, establishes in time and space a unique situation, for it incites to trial efforts or initiates a series of beginnings in order to relate opposing forces and produce certain planned and definite effects upon our planet, thus influencing the kingdoms in nature or an individual soul-in-form. A conflict is thus initiated which leads finally to balance.
- “This leads to an intermediate consummation in Libra.” (EA 358-360)
