The 12 signs are the 12 faces of God – the 12 states of perfect being – each with their unevolved, evolving, and evolved levels of being.

Instead of ‘faces of God’ you may want to use the words ‘states of perfect being’ or ‘states of higher consciousness’ or ‘levels of divine being’ or whatever … The specific words aren’t important — choose whatever words resonate most deeply for you.

Astrology is a ritual / a game / an intuitive science / a form of prayer / a connection with higher intelligence which involves identifying with symbols. These symbols gain deep meaning — intuitive meaning — when and only when we look deeply into the symbols, when we observe their inner (or esoteric) meanings and resonances.

If we’re going to identify with a symbol, like a Sun Sign, it might as well be a high one … a deep one … a powerful one — a face of God.

Many of the current popular conceptions of astrology are still suffering from Victorian and even Puritan hangovers. Most of the understanding of the signs relates only to the lower, unevolved side of the symbols … and the evolution of the symbol, the power of the symbol, is lost, forgotten.

Each sign is a sign of transformation… The unevolved is the ‘ground’, or starting point… The evolving is the ‘path’, or direction of growth… The evolved is the ‘goal’, or the fruit of the search.
