- “Mercury, as it relates Gemini to Scorpio and to our planet, has a mass or general effect, for it is the hierarchical ruler of Scorpio and its effect is of a planetary nature far more than is usually the case. […] Its true significance will not be understood until the consciousness of [the individual] is also planetary in its scope […] after the third initiation.
- “The influence of Mercury… is to inaugurate that final stage in consciousness which will place the soul in form surely in the place of power, swinging the earlier achieved balance and control [with Aries-Gemini-Mercury leading to intermediate balance in Libra] definitely into the realm of the soul. It is this which, in… Scorpio…, produces the terrific experience of the disciple and which… is one of the predisposing causes of the present world conflict.
- “These potencies, when effective, lead to true service in Aquarius.” (EA 359-60)
- Gemini-Virgo-Mercury: Form
