The ancient zodiac portrays the serpent in the hands of this man. He seizes it with both hands and treads on its heart, which is the red star of desire. As he does this, he looks towards the constellation that we saw in Libra, the crown. So we have personality, symbolized by Ophiuchus, struggling with the serpent of illusion, with the crown held before him, towards which he aspires. The third constellation is called Hercules and portrays the aspirant looking not at the crown but at the eagle, Aquila.
He is occupied with that marvellous symbol of light emerging, which makes all victory possible. Keep your eye on the eagle, call down fire, do not look at the ground, be centered in divinity. The story was that Hyrieus, a Boeotian king who had no children, was advised by Zeus that if he wished for a child he should urinate on a bullhide. He did so, and Hermes and Poseidon buried it. Nine months later, a boy was born from the hide.
This was Orion. In Greek Myth he was simply a great and powerful hunter, a son of Neptune, and possibly of a somewhat boastful disposition, as he is said to have claimed dominion over every living creature. He had come to love the divine huntress Diana, but was unintentionally slain by an arrow from her bow, at the instigation of her brother Apollo. In another version of the story, Orion was killed by the sting of the deadly scorpion sent by Juno to punish him for his arrogant pride, nevertheless he was honored by a place in the heavens, and the fatal scorpion was placed in the exact opposite part of the sky so that it could never threaten him again.
Orion is the giant who is said to have pursued the Pleiades, particularly Merope, and was consequently blinded by the angry Oenopion, King of Chios. On the advice of Vulcan, however, Orion climbed to the top of a great mountain on or near the isle of Lemnos, where, as he faced the rising sun, his sight was restored. On wall reliefs at the Temple of Denderah, he is shown journeying through the heavens in his celestial boat, followed by Sothis Sirius who is identified as the Soul of Isis, and is shown as a kneeling cow with a star between her horns.
References to Orion occur also in the famous Book of the Coming Forth by Day, or the Book of the Dead, which dates back to the very earliest period of Egyptian history. In a late version, the Papyrus of Ani, which is at least years old, the text promises the scribe Ani that he shall enter the heavenly regions, and become one with Orion.
From Rijl, the Foot. Influence: According to Ptolemy and Lily it is of the nature of Jupiter and Saturn, but later authors consider it favorable and similar to Jupiter and Mars. Alvidas likens it to Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. It gives benevolence, honor, riches, happiness, glory, renown and inventive or mechanical ability. Legend: The giant Orion was created out of an ox-hide by the Gods, Jupiter, Neptune and Mercury, at the request of Hureus who had entertained them.
It is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, prosperity in trade and particularly by voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. He fell in love with the daughter of the King of Chios, and for love of her he cleared the island of wild beasts.
The spoils of the chase he brought always home to his beloved, whose name is sometimes said to be Aero, sometimes Merope. Her father, Oenopion, agreed to give her to Orion, but he kept putting the marriage off. The god threw him into a deep sleep and Oenopion blinded him.
An oracle told him, however, that he would be able to see again if he went to the east and let the rays of the rising sun fall on his eyes. He went as far east as Lemnos and there he recovered his sight. Instantly he started back to Chios to take vengeance on the king, but he had fled and Orion could not find him. Nevertheless in the end the goddess killed him. Some say that Dawn, also called Aurora, loved him and that Artemis in jealous anger shot him. Will there never be an end to them? I refuse to continue on this way!
Orion was alone, drinking heavily. Then staggering to his own room he fell asleep. This all came about after Orion fell in love with Merope. Instead of giving consent to the marriage, Oenopion came up with another task to be done. See if you can find another one for me. Orion, said to be a man of great beauty, was so tall he could walk on the bottom of the seas while keeping his head above water. He was a mighty hunter, being expert with spear or bow and arrow. But Orion was blind. Go only one direction,.
You must see the Light. Make connection! Orion immediately set out to the East to regain his sight. No hardship, no difficulty he encountered, could turn him from his goal. Always travelling Eastward, he finally managed to reach the land where the Sun resides. There he met Eos, goddess of dawn and sister of Helios. She fell in love with Orion and had her brother restore his sight.
After spending some time with Eos, Orion left her to seek Oenopion for revenge. However, shortly after leaving the land of Helios he met Artemis, the huntress. She persuaded him to forget revenge for the love of hunting together. Show me that you can hit it with one of your arrows. Of course the blob was Orion. Orion, now in the starry heavens, can be seen dominating the skies with his mighty stature for many months. He battles the Taurian Bull of desire with this club while standing with one foot in the waters of the Eridanus, the river of life and its experiences.
As celestial Scorpio begins to rise in the East, Orion begins to slowly sink in the West. Orion The highly developed, self willed personality. His great beauty is beauty of spirit. His tall stature refers to the spiritual heights he has attained. Walking on the bottom of the sea with his head above the water symbolizes feet on the physical ground, head in the spiritual air, while remaining aloof from the water, emotions a potential not always used successfully.
Spiritual heights are achieved through determination that will not accept defeat. No task, no obstacle is too great. Even the loss of his sight spiritual sight or in-sight , lost when desire is allowed to rule, can be regained by increased determination to regain insight. Oenopion: The archetypal father. He tests personality for purity and readiness to unite with anima. Merope: The anima. Orion failed the test of purity of emotions.
Desire, not love ruled, and he fell spiritually blinded. Leaving her for revenge symbolizes a fall from the heights he had regained. No path is straight, but consists of many ups and downs. Artemis: A moon goddess, who nurtures the subjective nature. She symbolizes a second spiritual reawakening of Orion. She is also the Huntress of the Heavens. She hunts and slays the wild beasts and animal forms uncontrolled emotional and physical forms.
Scorpio Decan 3 ~ General Meaning
Thus, she is the slayer of the lower self. The slaying of Orion can be considered a symbol of initiation, in which the physical form was removed in order to place the perfected self in the heavens. The Scorpion: A symbol of the sting of death, but also of regeneration. This is shown by the constellation Orion falling in the West as the Scorpion rises in the East.
But the following year Orion will be found rising in the heavens once more, reborn. He further thinks that the name was given, because the constellation was taken as a stellar re-duplication of the great Light of Heaven, the Sun Maunder. Orion fell in love with Merope, one of the stars in the Pleiades.
At the instigation of her father, who had been much exasperated at his treatment of the maiden, Bacchus deprived him of his sight. After his death, Orion was placed among the stars. It gives martial honor, preferment and wealth. Kazwini had this last, but Ulug Beg said Al Murzim al Najid, the Roaring Conqueror, or according to Hyde, the Conquering Lion heralding his presence by his roar, as if this star were announcing the immediate rising of the still more brilliant Rigel, or of the whole constellation.
It gives great civil or military honor but danger of sudden dishonor, renown, wealth, eminent friends and liability to accidents causing blindness and ruin. From Al Mintakah, the Belt, or Dividing. It gives good fortune. The central star in the Belt of Orion. From Al Nitham, the String of Pearls. It gives fleeting public honors. From Prokuon, before the Dog, in allusion to its rising before Sirius. It gives activity, violence, sudden and violent malevolence, sudden preferment by exertion, elevation ending in disaster, danger of dog bites and hydrophobia, and makes its natives petulant, saucy, giddy, weak natured, timid, unfortunate, proud, easily angered, careless and violent.
Influence: Ptolemy gives no information as to the influence of the constellation itself, but merely describes that of its chief star, Procyon. By other authors, however, it is said to cause frivolity and either love of dogs or danger of dog-bites. It is noteworthy that the ideas of water and drowning seem to be universally associated with the constellation, for in addition to the Greek ideas embodied in the legends its Euphratean name, was the Water Dog, and its Chinese equivalent Nan Ho, the Southern River, certain of the stars being called Shwuy Wei, a Place of Water.
According to tradition, there is also a tendency to hot temper and impudence. Rise and success are found with it, but fall from high position later is indicated.

Procyon gives drive and a good sharp mind. The new constellation was then called the lessor dog that rises before its companion dog because it would appear in the heavens slightly before Canis Major made its appearance. Icarius was cautiously walking up a lighted golden pathway. It appeared as though the path was winding its way up into the clouds.
Maera, his dog, was up ahead constantly running towards Icarius and then running up ahead again. All the while Maera kept up an excited barking as if anticipating something about to happen. Following the pathway upward, both man and dog presently found themselves in the centre of a golden arena filled with spectators. All the seated onlookers wore white robes and had green wreaths on their heads. A priest holding a thyrsus a staff tipped with a pine cone and sometimes twined with ivy and vine branches THP in his hand was standing at an altar in the centre of the arena.
Maera helped bring you here to be initiated into the rites of the grape vine. When Icarius finished drinking, the thyrsus was touched to his forehead. Immediately, he had a vision showing how wine was to be used as a sacrament. Icarius was then led to each of the four corners or stations in the arena. The rythm was so powerful and compelling that …. It had the effect of printing the whole ceremony indelibly into his memory. Each of the four stations represented one of the four yearly seasons. The first station represented the winter solstice. A priest was standing beside the altar dressed in an earth-brown colored robe.
Icarius was then guided to the second station representing the spring equinox. The priest standing beside it was dressed in a flaming saffron robe. The rythmic chanting was now impressing upon him the method for developing and nurturing the forms he had planted. When Icarius was brought to the third station, he saw that this station symbolized the summer solstice.
The priest at this altar was dressed in a sea green robe. The priest was dressed in a robe of ethereal blue. Icarius awakened to find he had fallen asleep while at meditative prayer in a temple. Lying beside him he found some fresh grape vines ready for planting. Maera was smelling them and then looking at Icarius. Icarius and Maera went out to teach grapevine culture to the shepherds. But as soon as the shepherds produced the wine they began drinking the beverage. Being inexperienced, the shepherds soon became very drunk.
At the time Maera was out walking in the forest with Erigone, daughter of Icarius. Maera knew instantly that something was wrong. When they reached the garden, Maera led her to the dead form of Icarius. Erigone was so shocked she hanged herself. This creates need for a new more refined form. Hence, death of the old. Death is symbolic and may indicate death of old ways or death of the physical body. Shepherds: They may represent the emotional faculties.
Caring for the flocks can symbolize caring for the physical body, its muscles, nerves, organs cells, etc. Maera: The symbol of instinct. Wine: As an archetypal symbol it is the life of spirit synthesized with substance. For we are in effect synthesizing spirit with matter. These theories may be well connected with the naming of the constellations after animals, both in the East and in the West.
This eventually brings a man back to his originating source. It might, therefore, be correctly inferred that this Pointer and the energy emanating from it guides humanity upon the involutionary path, and is constantly active in its influence upon the man who is still upon the Mutable Cross. Then the energy of the Pointer furthest from the Pole Star begins to make its presence felt and a sense of right direction or guidance is registered by the disciple upon the Path, and such guidance when followed leads man nearer to the Hierarchy.
Astrologers will do well in connection with the horoscopes of disciples and particularly of initiates to consider the two Pointers and the Pole Star. More than this it is not permitted to me to convey to you. I may, however, give to you another hint. These three stars are embodiments of the three aspects of divine will. It is the three aspects of all expressions of divinity in manifestation which underlie the Science of Triangles. Very recently, however, Brown has suggested that he word is not Helenic in origin, but Euphratean, and , in confirmation of this, mentions a constellation title from that valley, transcribed by Sayce as An-ta-sur-ra, the Upper Sphere.
Ursa Minor was not mentioned by Homer or Hesiod, for, according to Strabo, it was not admitted among the constellations of the Greeks until about BC when Thales, inspired by its use in Phoenicia, his probable birthplace, suggested it to the Greek mariners in place of its greater neighbor, which till then had been their sailing guide. Thales is reported to have formed it by utilizing the ancient wings of Draco, perceiving that the seven chief components somewhat resembled the well-known Wain, but reversed with respect to each other. But the Finns, apparently alone among the northern nations of Europe in this conception, have Vaha Otawa, the Little Bear.
But a star, being always a symbol of sanctity, was peculiarly so of the holiest of women, so that this title of the chief star of heaven was adopted as one interpretation of her Jewish name Miriam. Another name in use in Moslem lands was Al Kiblah, referring to a concept of determination of true compass points so that the traveller might know the accurate direction to Mecca. Meru or Sumeru of Hindu and Buddhist lore. Virtually all of the great temples of India are symbolic representations of the cosmic mountain;.
In early Buddhist thought the endlessly turning heavens visibly express the concept of the Wheel of the Law. In the opening sentence of the great Buddhist scripture called the Dhammapada, often attributed to Buddha himself, the turning wheel appears as a metaphorical symbol of the inviolable principle of universal karma:.
If a man thinks or acts with with an evil thought, pain will follow him as surely as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage…. Great accuracy is claimed for the traditional representations of this deity, as they are all based upon a famous painting made by the Sung Dynasty artist-emperor Hui -tsung, after the God had honored him with a personal visit in AD.

Other writers state that it is meant to represent Cynosura, one of the Nymphs of Crete who reared the infant Jupiter; the other, Helice, being Ursa Major. Influence: According to Ptolemy the bright stars are like Saturn and in some degree like Venus. It is said to give indifference and improvidence of spirit, and lead to many troubles. Influence: Of the nature of Saturn and Venus. It causes much sickness, trouble, loss of fortune, disgrace and great affliction, and may give legacies and inheritances attended by much evil.
The Arabs were of the opinion that the contemplation of Polaris cured opthalmia. Thales is said to have formed it out of the wings of Draco, the Dragon, around BC. Because of its relatively recent formation, it is lacking a mythological story. There has been some attempt to name it Arcturos, After Arcas, son of Callisto but that name and story had already been given to the constellation Bootes. The pole star, Polaris, is the most important star in the constellation Ursa Minor.
It can be found at the tip of the tail of The Little Bear. Polaris is known as the star of direction, for not only do mariners and astronomers use it to get their bear-rings, it is also the star from which spiritual direction must be sought. Esoterically, it is called the star of reorientation. The Bear: A bear is a huge, powerful animal. The two Bear constellations relate to power and right direction in its use.
Also the word bear, connotes many things, such as: to support, to sustain the burden of, to withstand, to endure: as, to bear expenses, to bear one-self well, to bear the pain. And their prehistoric tradition made it the ship Argha for their wandering sun, steered by Agastya, the star Canopus. Sir Isaac Newton devoted much attention to the famous craft, fixing the date of its building about BC, forty-two years after King Solomon. In early German astronomical books it was the Schif-stern, or Ship-star. Named in honor of Canopus, the chief pilot of the fleet of Menelaus, who was killed in Egypt by the bite of a serpent on his return from the destruction of Troy.
It gives piety, conservatism, a wide and comprehensive knowledge, voyages and educational work and changes evil to good. Combined in Canopus are powers ascribed to Jupiter and to Saturn. Can you imagine someone gaining admission to see a king wearing only one shoe. Well, this man did. And why would a king even want to see such an unlikely person?
The one shoed man was Jason. He lost one shoe while carrying a huge old lady across a swollen river. The shoe got stuck in the muddy river bottom. She had come to test Jason, to see if he was worthy of her protection. And test him she did, for half way across the river Jason felt her getting heavier and heavier. Even a strong young man like Jason began wondering if he was going to make it to the other side, but he did.
Then as he looked back towards the spot in the river where his show came off, Hera disappeared. The king who was willing to see the one-shoed man was Pelias of Iolcos. He had been told by an Oracle that his kingdom would be taken away from him by someone wearing only one shoe.
From that time on Pelias had wearily been on the lookout for such a man. Years earlier, Pelias had seized the throne from his brother, Aeson. But you can bring the Golden Fleece back to Iolcos where it belongs, I will feel assured that you are capable. Jason on the other hand, was delighted to undertake what appeared as an exciting adventure. He immediately commissioned a great vessel, the Argo, to be built for the journey.
At the same time he called for volunteers to sail with him on an expedition for the glory of Greece. The heroes assembled and sailed as soon as the Argo was completed. Their sails were set for Colchis, their goal, the Golden Fleece. As their first night at sea approached, the voyagers beached the Argo on the island of Lemnos. They found the island inhabited only by women. These women had banded together one night and killed all their men.
They did this after the men brought concubines to the island and pushed their wives aside. These same women were so hospitable to the Argonauts that the heroes spent a year living on the island.

Finally, Jason called them all together one day. They all agreed, although with some reluctance, since they had been treated so royally. Embarking for Colchis the next morning all went well until nightfall when they halted at an unknown landing site. While searching for drinking water Hercules lost his armor bearer, Hylas. They thought some water nymphs may have enchanted him and dragged him under the water. But Hercules refused to leave off searching for Hylas the next day.
Finally the Argonauts had to sail without either of them. When they stopped the next night on an island, they found it occupied by Phineus, a prophet with unerring insight. But the poor old man was starving to death. Zeus, displeased with his prophecy had sent the Harpies, huge birds with human heads, to plague him. Whenever Phineus tried to eat, the Harpies would swoop down, snatch up his food and leave a loathsome stench behind.
The Argonauts chased the beasts away with their swords allowing Phineus to have his first undisturbed meal in a long while. Phineus was so pleased that he predicted the remainder of their journey, to help them on their way. If you hope to pass through safely, you must first send a dove flying between the rocks.
If the dove flies through safely it is a symbol that the gods will favour you to pass through safely. Those women warriors will challenge you to do battle. If you accept their challenge many of the crew will be lost, sail on. Do not stop anywhere until you reach Colchis.
