Aries 89the terrestrial fire (Pa-vaka). The ritual of the whole creation
is described as the great day with three fires. The star dust
is given out as the jet of fire which is known as the great
serpent Anantha, who takes shape in the great constellation
of the Dragon (cosmic Kundalini). This star dust forms into
three great centres in a space globe before it is distributed
into stars or solar systems. This whole story is epitomized
in the three signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
The glyph of Aries is also described as the two blades
of grass sprouting out. All the grasses of this earth are
governed by this sign because they are all annual herbs.
Like the sign Aries, the grasses mark the cycle of the year
in their fruition. All the cereals, which produced the chief
foods from the plant kingdom, are mostly annual herbs.
The fields of corn or wheat produce their fruit either once
in an year or twice. Their life span is also marked only
within the cycle of an year and also in tune with the
periodicities of the seasons. They play the role of dying
by producing their fruit. For this reason they symbolize
the reaping and sowing of the karma in the annual cycle.
Man takes in plant food and elevates the plant atoms in
the course of their evolution. This sign, which marks the
ending of the plant for the beginning of the fruit, definitely
symbolises an important periodicity in the course of
Karma. It is therefore represented by a plant of grass
growing near the flow of water (the water is Pisces and
the plant is Aries).
When the circumferences of two circles of equal radii
come into mutual contact, there is the manifestation of
the head of Aries glyph. This marks the manifestation of
objectivity, when the path is from Aries to Taurus. It marks
