Unity - Capricorn. This sign is a fire sign, and it is the pre-eminent fire sign at this time. There is in them that peculiar quality which can burn and destroy and so eradicate all that hinders their essentially divine expression. I would have you bear in mind the purificatory nature of fire. There are two elements in nature which are connected in the public consciousness with the thought of purification - one is water and the other is fire.
Fire always carries forward esoterically that which water has begun.
In Cancer, the purificatory waters of experience begin their beneficent work. This is begun upon the Cardinal Cross because that cross deals only with wholes and, therefore, with mass experience. In Scorpio, the purificatory waters of testing and trials are applied. This takes place upon the Fixed Cross and their effect is drastic in the extreme. Thus the influence of the three Crosses is brought to bear upon the incarnated Son of God upon the wheel of ordinary life and in the usual order.
