Sabian Symbols: A Grand Army of the Republic campfire

Campfire grand army of the republic
Campfire grand army of the republic
This universal idea is best expressed through planets in

Sagittarius 1 (0° - 1°)

FINDING THE MEANING WITHIN OUR STRUGGLES​
It is an aspect of our life on Earth that we will have a constant struggle against natural forces and other difficulties
"Processing the lessons within our mistakes and struggles"
We can see culture as the softer side of civilisation wherein we tame the beast within humanity by getting people to appreciate more subtle things like art and the technologies of comfort. Yet to contain Nature’s violent disregard for our comfort and security at first requires a stronger approach than culture alone.

​The strong force that carves out our place and way to be is structured and conservative – it takes land and claims it; it is the military. Old army generals, some of whom are now wielding political power, sit and discuss how they did what they did and, importantly, why. With age comes the big life-question – I have struggled and overcome, what gives that life-struggle meaning? The answer is an abstraction, a philosophy, about what we have come to believe will make the world a better place.

Reminiscence

Grand army of the Republic campfire
What went before can give useful insight into what is to come

To optimise our potential, we should not spend too long nostalgically resting on our laurels, telling tales around the campfire with compatriots. Our gifts have to be repeatedly re-grasped, re-energised, and renewed in their application.

What is seen as contentment with the way things are, can be none other than superficial idleness; what is considered as valuing of old ways, none other than an unhealthy veneration of the past. Discretion must be exercised to know what is helpful in previous events for developing our present well-being.

If reminiscence is to have useful impact, then it must serve to help us appreciate more deeply each significant aspect, and each phase, of our life experiences. What went before can give useful insight into what is to come.

With such an attitude towards remembrance, during points of crisis in life we can usefully call upon our collected wisdom to sustain us and carry us through the challenges.

Besides, the connections and allegiances that have, over the years at campfires, been nurtured, cultivated and preserved, will support us in our accomplishments.

Doing nothing much except feeling and perceiving what is now present – subjective passivity – can be of immense importance, yet surely only to the extent that it is gainfully employed to build inner strength.
​
For example, a periodic ‘return to centre’ is of great value in rebalancing and reorienting. We can look for, and find, great relevance in all that has gone before, and all that is to come, by deepening our involvement in this present moment. This may well be enhanced by placing today’s events contextually within the backdrop of our fondest memories.

Advanced Level: Elven Star Analysis

​Although we can find relevance in some way to all 360 degrees, each degree resonates particularly, and mysteriously, with the 6 other points of its Elven Star and clues, from the 7 Words System, and the Sabian Journey, are shown in the text below. This first degree of the Expression "Hopefulness" is the Affirming principle.

The scope of Sagittarius 1  is "Processing the lessons within our mistakes and struggles", and its means of expansion is Taurus 5, "Letting go of grief and sorrow". Its preferred path, Libra 9, "Chain of transmission", leads to its principle challenge, found in Pisces 13, "Develop sharpness of intent".
Awareness of its spiritual purpose is described in Leo 18, "Demonstrating knowledge of magick", which generates the feedback found in Capricorn 22, "Redefying the meaning of success and failure" and thus the evolutionary gateway offered by Gemini 26, "Ridding ourselves of non-essentials and finding truth in beauty". 

​​(This list will differ slightly from your Elven Star points unless your degree is exact, such as Taurus 15:00 not Taurus 15:39)
