Triangles: Cancer Leo Aquarius

A very important triangle in consciousness for humanity

three signs responsible for the growth of the human understanding, the unfoldment of the human the form nature, and the expanding perception of that which is contacted

From Esoteric Astrology:

We have… three signs which (from the angle of consciousness) are closely connected yet are widely separate and different in effect.

  1. Cancer—mass consciousness—instinctual awareness
  2. Leo—self consciousness—intelligent awareness
  3. Aquarius—group consciousness—intuitional awareness

There are other major triangles… called ‘triangles in consciousness’ and… the most important of these for mankind is… Cancer, Leo and Aquarius… because the energy pouring through these three are basically responsible for the growth of the human understanding and the unfoldment not only of [the human] response apparatus, the form nature, but also of [the] expanding perception of that which is contacted. The threefold process under these three constellations produces finally the identification with that which is perceived to be the divine essence, underlying form. The identification with that which is the subjective and real Self and the consequent withdrawing from that which is the not-Self is the keynote of the fourth initiation.

From the mass awareness in Cancer, the [person] becomes an individual in Leo and the slow, unintelligent sub–consciousness of the herd becomes the self-awareness of the developed [person] in Leo. Instinctual reaction gives place to conscious, intellectual activity. This dual activity in turn gives place to the group awareness which is the gift conferred by by Aquarian activity; the super-conscious divine [person] then transcends [the] limited self-consciousness and the intuition supersedes the intellect.
