The basic symbols of the planets are represented by
the circle, the crescent and the cross. The circle represents that which is
boundless, eternal, infinite. The crescent represents the personality, half the
circle, the outer aspect of being. The cross symbolizes earth living; the
opposition of the human and the divine. It is the signature of this planet
(earth) for this is called the Planet of the Sorrowful Star. We are the rebel
angels that set our will against the will of God in order to learn to be Gods in
our own right. Man, when he stands upright and extends his arms is the form of
the cross. When the outer self becomes the reflector of the true self, then we
can truly say, "I and my Father are One." The "me" is the
personality that has to become the servant of the High Self. In the Aquarian Age
this will come about through the redemption and mastery of the personality
rather than by crucifying it.
