Correspondences 47zodiacal signs and the parts and potencies in his own
vehicles carries a deeper significance than the traditional
astrologer supposes. This meditation of the
correspondences is called Nya-sa Vidya. This works as a
sacrament in raising his body to the level of His body.
Hitherto man believes that he is the owner of his body.
Hence-forth he realises that he is but a steward of the
property entrusted to him. All the stars in the sky (which
are but so many solar systems in various stages of
evolution), which correspond with the zodiacal signs at
this time, will stimulate the parts of his body and their
principles. They work in unity to co-operate with the effort
of man and contribute to his success. They are his helpers
in the cosmic work. Thereby he gains mastery over the
elements and in his turn he co-operates with the higher
forces in sharing the burden of elevating his fellow-beings
on his planet.
Among the stars and constellations that work in this
plan, there is a special role for those stars that are more
advanced than the Sun of our solar system. The seven
stars of the Great Bear and the seven stars which form the
cluster of Pleiades have a special bearing. For this reason
the stars of the Great Bear are called the Seven Great Seers
and the Pleiades are called the Seven Mothers who nourish
the newborn Kuma-ra, the celibate, with their breast-milk
(light visible and invisible). Also the stars of the
constellation called Zeta Pisces, which form the two great
Fishes, have much to do with his progress. They are called
“the Wise Men who come to see the newborn babe who
is the future Saviour and Redeemer of the world”. For
the same reason, the fish is called the renovator of the
ageless wisdom.
