Pisces is the zodiacal sign of saviourship and sacrifice. Pisces is the fourth mutable zodiacal sign, and the two fishes indicate the dual nature of spirit and matter, which need to find harmony. Pisces contains the possibility of descending into materialism as well as ascending into the light of the soul. Both paths are wide open to us as we end one solar year and enter another lifetime cycle. The choice is always ours as to how we want to move forward and use our will. Jupiter is exalted in Pisces; it helps us rise from duality to synthesis.
A few days ago, I received the photo of a huge drawing that Albert Sassi made of the Rishi Agastya, Master Jupiter. It was drawn on a piece of plain plywood, with charcoal and white. It is a 3/4 portrait. The size is larger than life, it stands almost 2 meters high. This picture shows only the top half of the whole drawing. Maybe one day we will find a more complete picture of it. The current whereabouts of this drawing are unknown.
Rishi Agastya, by Albert Sassi
And little is known about the author of the painting, Albert Sassi (born end of the 19th century in Italy, passed over 28 March 1971 in Belgium). In his outer life, he was for years a high ranking officer at the Geneva Department of Commerce and a professor of Labour Law.
At the same time, he was a very profound spiritualist, a high dignitary member of the Theosophical Society (TS) in Geneva and he translated “Esoteric Astrology” of Master DK / Alice A. Bailey into French. After his retirement he lived for several years in India, especially near the Durga Mountain of the Nilagiris, the Blue Mountains which are said to be the main seat of the ashram of Rishi Agastya in the subtle planes.
There, Albert Sassi met Master EK and deeply interacted with him. Master EK even called him his “spiritual colleague”. Master EK revealed to Sassi the work of Master CVV, who is considered to be an advanced disciple of Agastya or even identical with him, and shared teachings received from him. Albert Sassi facilitated the introduction of Master EK to the West by inviting the Master to Europe. However, when Master EK travelled to Europe for the first time, Albert Sassi had already passed over. Read more about Albert Sassi and the meeting with Master EK.
A friend from Siberia wrote me some days ago in response to the last Aquarian Salon & recording on “Shambala” where we had presented a painting on “The Jewel in the Lotus” and another on “Chintamani, the Philosopher’s Stone of Heavenly Origin“. She gave me some warm personal remarks about my creativeness with the paintings to which I replied, “As per the images, they come, it is not “my creativeness” but given. If there is nothing coming, it is empty in my mind, no work possible.”
She further wrote: “Chintamani is the stone which Nicholas & Helena Roerich mystically received (see a conversation from November 2023). Chintamani was sent to the Roerichs on October 6, 1923, in Paris, in a simple parcel box. It was wrapped in embroidered cloth and placed in a leather casket. This casket and the cloth are depicted in S. N. Roerich’s painting “The Sacred Casket.” In his book “Heart of Asia,” N.K. Roerich wrote: “The great Timur owned this stone. The stone is usually brought by the most unexpected people. In the same unexpected way, in due course, disappears in order to reappear at the destined time in a completely different country. The main part of this stone is located in Shambhala. Only a small piece of it is issued and wanders all over the earth, maintaining a magnetic connection with the main Stone.” I know about this Stone, Ludger. Does the group know?”
Since I cannot tell “about ‘the’ group” but only about individuals, I sent her some pictures of Nicholas Roerich paintings and answered, “I once got these images from a German friend, I did not know the details (from the book ‘Heart of Asia’) you gave.” And later I asked for her permission to quote her from our exchange to which she agreed. Here are the pictures.

Nicholas Roerich has done many paintings on the most sacred and radiant stone Chintamani. Here are two of them.
In the trinity of the air signs (Gemini, Libra & Aquarius), Aquarius represents spiritual air, which corresponds to electric fire. The Aquarius glyph has two lines or waves in space representing sound and light, space and time, Uranus and Neptune, or Mitra and Varuna. These are the two aspects of the One, spirit and matter.
Aquarius is ruled primarily by Uranus and stands for rapid and sudden change. These changes affect all areas of life in ways we cannot imagine – changes for the better, but at first can be experienced as distortions. In order to cope with the changes and their speed, we are to attune ourselves to the Aquarian energies. We must call forth our ability to adapt to the changes. “Accept the inevitable changes and move forward” is the message of Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of humanity and its freedom. Aquarius and Uranus free humanity to become friendly with all of creation.
Our planet Earth, in Eastern Scriptures and in Sanskrit, is called Vasundhara, the goddess of the Earth. Vasundhara is not just the physical globe, but the planet in its seven layers. The plane solidified into the physical globe is but a tiny planet, constituting a 64th part of the entire system of seven Dweepas (islands or layers).
The main centre of this planet is Shambala. It is called the White Island (Swetha Dweepa) or the imperishable holy land Pushkara. This is also how we refer to the seventh sphere around the physical Earth.
Our body also consists of seven layers. Our head centre – the crown chakra or Sahasrara – is like Pushkara, the imperishable White Island. This reality is only perceived by those who have divine vision. These connections were explained by Master KPK in his teachings on Shambala.
To visualise Vasundhara in her seven layers, I used images of the planet in different degrees of density and a photo of a crystal ball. The seven white lotuses indicate the reality of Shambala.
The Sun begins its journey northward in the earth sign of Capricorn. It is known as the ascent of the sun and is related to the ascent of the soul. Capricorn is traditionally associated with the mountain goat. The goat has strong willpower and its goal is the mountain peak.
Those born with Sun in Capricorn set goals for themselves; they are down-to-earth and generally practical and grounded. In this they differ from the Sagittarius-born, who strive high in the heavens. We need a strong will and lofty goals that we achieve slowly and gradually. We reach the peak through tireless inner will, patience, contemplation and outer work. At the peak of light, the goat transforms into a unicorn, the struggling and triumphant creature of ancient legends. It is all alone, peaceful and completely still inside. The symbol of the unicorn represents the soul. The qualities of the unicorn are of great importance on the spiritual path.
There are correspondences between the properties of the Earth and the properties of our bodily tissues. The North Pole of the Earth corresponds to our head centre, the South Pole corresponds to the base centre at the coccyx, and the Earth’s axis of rotation corresponds to our vertebral column. The heart centre is located in the geometric centre of the Earth.
The intelligences working within us are related to the planetary intelligences. The guiding intelligence of the Earth’s head centre is called Sanat Kumara, and it is connected to our head centre. The guiding intelligence of the Earth’s heart centre is Lord Maitreya, and it works with a group of intelligences through our heart centre.
The higher heart centre in the upper part of our chest is connected to Capricorn. The winter solstice at the beginning of Capricorn is the start of the ascending arc of the sun. Capricorn represents the dawn of the year and the ascent of spirit from matter. It is a favourable time for our spiritual reorientation.
The science of correspondences was forgotten for centuries. The knowledge is slowly being imparted again by the Masters of Wisdom so that we can recognise the relationships between the centres in our body, the centres of the Earth and the planetary intelligences, and accelerate the vital activity of the centres through conscious connection.
The image shows the connection between the planetary head centre at the North Pole and the human head centre, as well as the connecting axis to the South Pole or the base centre. The sunrise at the higher heart centre was created using a photo of a sunrise taken at the winter solstice in 2023 in the Nilagiri Mountains of southern India.
The globe is surrounded by an orange sphere. It symbolises the solar energies that promote our ascent to soul consciousness.
The month of Sagittarius is a sublime time. Every day, the energy of Sagittarius visits us in the two hours before dawn. It is the best time for all spiritual practices. Sagittarius is a sign that points the way. The arrow of our thoughts is to be directed upwards, towards the soul. Jupiter, the lord of Sagittarius, gives us the necessary direction and guidance. Jupiter stands for wisdom and spirituality. He symbolises teaching and the teacher. Dattatreya, the Lord of Yoga and the cosmic principle of the Teacher, works through the energies of the Sagittarius sign. The Sagittarius full moon is considered his birthday.
In the wisdom teachings, the lighthouse is a symbol of the state in which a person has transformed their personality. They are filled with the light of the soul and thus promote goodwill everywhere. They do not speak about themselves and instead, redirect any adoration of themselves to the ONE divine energy. In this way, they clear the way for the light that flows through them.
The Masters of Wisdom are great lighthouses and guiding stars for people who walk the pathway of Light. We grow by invoking the light and making it visible through acts of goodwill.
Shambala is the reception centre on Earth for energies from higher circles, which are distributed for the well-being of the earth and he kingdoms. Through our connection with Shambala, we are able to receive the Will, Knowledge and Light of God in a larger degree in order to pass it on to our fellow human beings. A symbol of Sanat Kumara, the Lord of Shambala, is the six-armed cross.
In the centre of the image, I placed the structure of the six-armed cross, formed by rays of light. The three axes symbolise the four cardinal directions and the vertical. Downwards, the light is reflected in the sea; upwards, it is connected to Sirius, the cosmic principle of the Teacher. The central guiding star forms a triangle with the Pleiades on the left and the Great Bear on the right – embodiments of the divine Mother and Father. The vertical axis passes over the arc of the earth’s horizon, which indicates the bow of Sagittarius – a sign of extreme tension and direction.
I designed the lighthouse in the centre of the picture using a photo my brother took of the Lismore lighthouse on the west coast of Scotland. I placed seven lotuses on the tower as symbols of the seven etheric energy centres.
