How is your last day of summer?
Before I answer this question I want to share the insights on the particularity of the 30 degree of Virgo based on the symbols channelled by Elsie Wheeler whose visions were compiled by Marc Edmund Jones in the 1920s then published as “Sabian Symbols” (1953). Those visions expanded with Chandra Symbols by John Sandbach, and inspired by Dane Rudhyar’s writing were insightfully compiled by Ellias Lonsdale in his “Inside Degrees”. Nevertheless, we shall not forget that before all these men got to write their books that brought them astrological fame, the visions came from a spiritualist and a gifted clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler – who is not even mentioned by her name in Lonsdale’s book…. I want to acknowledge and thank the spirit of Elsie for the beauty and wisdom she brought us.
Myself, I have worked with the Charubel, Sabian, and Chandra Symbols amongst others systems of degree symbology developing them through my daily dream journal practice. I began this spiritualist journey, free of preconceptions, and wide open with a performance art piece “Eating from the Tree of the Goddess” in Venice in 2018, curated by Claire Zakiewicz at Anita Cerpelloni’s gallery ARTI3160. This shamanic journey continued ever since (https://creatrixmag.com/full-moon-in-pisces/), enriching the collective unconscious with my own dreamscapes as per the symbolism of my Moon at 12 degrees of Pisces “A woman asleep in a ring of flames”….and compatible with the Sanskrit meaning of my native Slavic name which opens Akashic Records – Sleeping Wisdom of Fire (Gnosis).
Note while analysing the symbols if the planet occurs at 29 degree it is represented by 30 degree as the first degree is 0 degree… (!!)
VIRGO 30 degree Supernatural beings appearing as geometric forms
Sacred geometry, a code of the Universe, transgresses the materialistic view of the world and offers a quantum leap into what is possible in the 5th dimension. Through the harmony and beauty of patterns we access the divine cosmic consciousness, finally capable of perceiving the interconnectedness between us and all beings.
This degree is also described by Ellias Lonsdale in his “Inside Degrees” as – Supersensible beings manifesting through geometric forms, Lonsdale channels:
If you learn how to stand back and be within the greater archetypal motions, you find yourself being placed in perfect strategic positions, in exquisitely rightful initiations and assignments.
You are called to serve the highest, to respect and honor all manifestations, to be there for everybody.
How are you going to spend the last day of summer? Meditate on geometric shapes to access the higher guiding voice which will carry you through the portal of the Autumn Equinox!
Be inspired by some of our favourite contemporary artists who work with the occult language of the Universe – sacred geometry:
