Capricorn is considered the sign of the birth of the Saviour. The light of life that shines in the darkness is the birth of the soul consciousness that frees us from imprisonment in matter. Capricorn is also the sign of the goat that climbs up the mountain and turns into a unicorn on the mountain peak of light. It is the disciple who becomes an initiate on the mount and descends again to help humanity.

Yesterday, we met with the team of supporters for preparing the fourth Aquarian Salon, Saturday, 20 January 2024. We were 7 persons and it was 7 weeks in advance, because I will be in India until 3 days before the Salon I-4. And it was an extraordinary meeting:

Risa opened our meeting saying that we have been collaborating now since some time and most of us know each other just virtually, seeing heads on screen but not knowing much about the background of the individuals. And she invited us – living in different parts of the USA and of Europe – to share with the others how we came to the spiritual path leading us together now. We are forming a very Aquarian way of collaboration for the Aquarian Salon, inspiring and innovative, but it would deepen our relation if we know more about our personal background.

It was a tremendous experience to hear how all had been striving in different socio-cultural and geographical contexts to get into contact with the wisdom teachings of Spiritual Hierarchy and of Master KPK. I knew a few of the group since long but many new dimensions revealed. And it was astonishing to see how similar certain experiences were. This is not the place to go into detail but it was a very sacred opening of hearts giving insight to the spiritual fire burning in all. It was bringing us much closer to each other, feeling the presence.

Risa spoke about how, in their group in the US, they work with astrology and the wisdom teachings, on the basis of each the horoscopes of each member. And she invited us to share ours so that we see the energetic background of all of us and get a deeper understanding.

We then also spoke about our forming a new group now and how this is giving a good foundation for the collaboration in the future meetings of the Aquarian Salon.

If you are interested, please save the date: “Aquarian Salon I-4. Theme: Intuition and the Rain Cloud of Knowable Things”, Saturday, 20 January 2024. The meeting will start 7pm CET (UTC +1) / / 12pm CST (UTC -6), 10 am, PST (UTC -8).

When we live in a body, we experience limitations. The limitations are described as the effects of a ring. The limitations are a protection, like the eggshell that surrounds the chick. When the chick has fully developed, the shell gets broken.

The rings are the effect of the cosmic principle of Saturn located in the planet Saturn. Saturn’s rings symbolise our personal limitations and problems, the limits of our understanding. The wisdom of the principle of Saturn teaches us to accept the limitations and work with them. Thus, Saturn slowly leads us to liberation from limitations. The mind is free by nature.

For the background of the painting I used a photo of a sunrise because Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, symbolises the time of sunrise and the rise from matter. A NASA photo of Saturn is integrated into the colours of the sunrise. Inserted into the rings is the figure of a meditator, designed with an Indian statue of a meditator. Lower body and torso are confined by the rings of Saturn. The right arm, symbolising right action, extends beyond one ring.

The opening of the head centre leads beyond the sphere of Saturn into the vastness of space. It is composed with images of the flowers saxifrage and begonia with a luminous ‘jewel in the lotus’.

Sagittarius is the symbol for an aspirant who intends walking the path of light or the path of discipleship. His bow indicates attunement to the super-soul and the arrows indicate his energetic good will. True aspiration lies in dedicating our life to the path of light and love. This impulse to dedicate our life for the path of light is seen as grace but not as our own will. Once we have decided to walk the path of light, we need to strengthen ourselves with skills and abilities, virtues and rhythms. We can develop them through daily attunement to the divine which is within and all around.

Picture to the month of Sagittarius: In Spiritual Astrology, Sagittarius is considered the most exalted Sun sign, very favourable for spiritual practices. In the body, Sagittarius is located in the higher Muladhara centre (root chakra) at the lower end of the spine. This centre is the entrance to the path of light called the Sushumna. We can imagine that we enter the light in the Muladhara and quickly move up to the Sahasrara, the head centre. Then we can contemplate on the radiant light in the spine and the head.

Especially during the first 7 days after the entry of the Sun into Sagittarius, the Sushumna column opens wide and the light is flowing upwards like an arrow to the Sahasrara. This is called “the path to Narayana”, the universal consciousness. Lord Krishna epitomises this universal consciousness. He says in the Bhagavad Gita, “Among the twelve months of the zodiac, I am Sagittarius.”

The image visualises the ascent of light from individual consciousness in the body (planetary consciousness) to the soul (solar consciousness) and spirit (cosmic consciousness). These layers are represented by the red-brownish earthly sphere below, from which rises the silhouette of the body with the centres of light. Above this the sphere of the sun, the soul, arches in fiery colours. The blue sphere indicates the magic of the cosmic dimension; it is represented by Krishna playing the flute, surrounded by the signs of the zodiac, with Sagittarius at the top, and the depth of the black starry sky.

The design of the image visualises the realisation that in reality we internally, are the planetary, solar and cosmic consciousness. The image arrangement illustrates the invisible path of ascension through the planes.

Last Saturday, we had our third online Aquarian Salon meeting. It was a thrilling experience – a beautiful flow and exchanges, and live guitar music by Frank. In the past, Salon gathering were social events for gathering and sharing, and a source for inspiration. This is now a virtual continuation.

Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac and is related to the eighth house of darkness and death. Its colour is black and its metal is lead. To the average person, Scorpio seems frightening, for it brings darkness and loss of consciousness. But to those who courageously and ceaselessly strive for deeper knowledge, the mystery of darkness and death is revealed.

Picture to the month of Scorpio: A few weeks before his transition November 2022, Master KPK (Dr K. Parvathi Kumar) gave a prayer called “Master CVV Sharing“. It refers to Master CVV’s mission to connect the spiritual groups and share the creation and building of an energy grid around the Earth, thus helping to uplift humanity and the Earth into the realms of Light.

The prayer is intended to remind us to consciously connect the individual Kundalini with the group Kundalini and with the Kundalini of all spiritual groups that are oriented towards the Hierarchy. From there the spiritual Kundalini may merge with the Kundalini of Humanity and the Earth Kundalini, and further with the Kundalini of the Hierarchy, and up to Shambala. All global groups may remain connected and the energies be shared with all groups to uplift the Earth to the Kings of Beauty.

The image visualises the linking and merging of the individual Kundalini with the Kundalini of the global groups. For this I used elements from various earlier paintings. The image is centred on the central axis as the planetary Kundalini and indicates the spiritual upward movement leading beyond our planet.

At the bottom, you see individual persons forming a group, the rainbow snippets symbolizing the different Kundalinis. Out of the group rises a greater form with a longer Kundalini symbolizing the humanity. It is looking up to the huge lighted form symbolizing the Hierarchy and Shambala with a white spot at the top surrounded by an aura of light. The white central axis over the planet might be seen as the Kundalini of the Earth aligned with the higher centres.
