Sebian Symbol Aries 5º
Dane Rudyard's Sebian Symbol for Aries 5º says
"Aries 5°: A triangle with wings. The capacity for self-transcending.
This is the symbol of the
desire to reach a higher level of existence, of pure aspiration or devotion, of
bhakti. What has emerged in the first phase of the process of differentiation
is becoming aware of the possibility of further up-reachings. The principle of
"levitation" is seen as one of the two essential factors in
evolution. The emergent being glorifies and deifies it, but it is still only an
ideal. At this stage, nevertheless, the whole being experiences a childlike
longing for its eventual realization.
At this point the last and
synthesizing stage of the first five-fold unit in the cyclic process is
reached. A NEW DIMENSION of being is envisioned
mobilizing creative endeavors."
