26th degree of Sagittarius (25° - 26°)SAGITTARIUS 26
When a group forms, and as its members become increasingly identified as its members, what occurs is the development of group consciousness. This process includes the definition of the scope of that group and also its essence – the core principle that defines its substance and its goals. These are the essential aspects of the meaning of the group and are epitomised by its name and banner. The flag is the essence-symbol of the group and the person who is awarded and accepts the role as flag bearer takes on both the responsibility of rallying the members, and the consequent risk of being a vulnerable target. In such a position in life it is safer to be humble. Rudhyar: A FLAG BEARER IN A BATTLE. The nobly accepted subservience of the individual to collective values and goals: CONSECRATION TO AN IDEAL. |

Whenever they resound with the imperatives of history, collective ideals trump personal needs
In battle, the flag bearer carries no gun and is very vulnerable. Yet it is a high honour and requires a deep sense of nobility to raise up the standard that holds aloft the value-essence of those who are loyal to the flag. This is no empty gesture to win false credit – when properly done, all available resources are pulled together and applied effectively towards a common purpose that expands experience to a new dimension. Nobility commands. This is the quality that commandeers resources so that the impossible may be achieved, typically in times of emergency or when great deeds are enacted. At such times, things of enduring significance have to be managed – historical imperatives are at play. Our personal ideals take on a transcendent dimension only to the extent that they resonate with the collective vision that unfolds as the march of history. At such times our personal agendas are made subservient in service to the greater good. Common ideals trump personal visions. This is the image of a level of service so high that it awakens the spiritual dimension in our lives, as we put aside lesser considerations in order to apply ourselves in a self-sacrificing way to support the great cause of the moment. |
