through Alice Bailey
in Chapter II of Esoteric
Astrology and simplified in
An
Esoteric Journey Through the Zodiac: The Inner Meanings of the Signs
PLEASE NOTE: By no means do the paragraphs on this page
represent firm or final textbook delineations. Please consider them
as constituting an initial attempt to verbalize possible soul's-purpose
implications of the ascending sign in the horoscope. I offer them
to you as a starting point, an initial frame of reference, in our collective
quest to discern and recognize the various arenas of growth, types of consciousness
expansion, and fields of service that can be intended by the human soul.
Of course, the esoteric significance of the rising sign must be modified
by many factors, most significantly, by planets in the first house, aspects
to the ascending degree, and the house position, sign, and aspects of the
esoteric ruler of the ascendant. Degree, decanate, duad, and fixed
star symbolisms are among the many other possible colorations that can
contribute to the synthesis that would begin to describe the soul's purpose.
