Triangles: Taurus Capricorn Aquarius

The constellations behind the “holy three”: Mercury-Venus-Earth

Little is given about this, other than a passage from the Old Commentary, quoted here in full:

Just as humanity strives towards the Hierarchy, so that Hierarchy itself strives towards Shamballa. As the Old Commentary has it: He who sees in the dark light of Shamballa penetrates to that which lies beyond our little sphere to that which can be sensed behind the holy triangle [Mercury-Venus-Earth with Venus first]. There is to be found the point of radiant fire which shines within the eye (Taurus), which burns upon the mountain-top (Capricorn) and which the water cannot quench (Aquarius). These are the holiest three. (EA 593-4)

To make this triangle relevant to humanity, this marks three key points of the will aspect or three fires (see Aries-Leo-Sagittarius) represented by “Shamballa”¹:

Taurus

Mercury: The third eye, illumination and personal integration, initiating the path of will. The will-to-liberation Capricorn

Venus: The third initiation and exit from the human kingdom. Aquarius

Earth: The ability to handle the astral/emotional levels and freedom from the necessity to learn by emotional pain. The will-to-serve
