carries the fair jewel which gives light upon its forehead

(EA 488)- Leo
- The expression of … experience in daily life and … the effort to justify knowledge (EA 488)
- Achievement of self-mastery, personality control of groups (Aquarius). A combination of the will-to-illumine and the will-to-rule.
The will-to-illumine is that which drives all Leo people on to experiment and so to gain knowledge; it is this which links them with Taurus, which ‘carries the fair jewel which gives light upon its forehead’
(EA 289)- Produces true Self-consciousness (EA 488)
- Aquarius
- The use of experience in order to make the gained knowledge a factor in service (EA 289)
Aquarius takes that experience and the knowledge gained thereby [in Leo], and turns it to conscious use in the service of the group.
- it indicates the individual
of spirit, of life, and of consecration to the divine expression of service.
