1. Capricorn connotes density, firm foundations, concretization, the mountain of karma that holds down the [436] struggling soul or the mountain of initiation which must eventually be climbed and surmounted. It signifies, therefore, the great force of liberation which both drives into experience and brings experience to an end, from the angle of humanity. This is the major stream of force in this particular triangle at this time.
2. Mercury brings in that quick and intuitive mind which interprets experience, fosters the growth of the intuition and relates the inner spiritual man to the outer human being in such a way that their future unity of purpose, plan and effort is assured. Mercury brings about those changes in mental perception which eventually enable humanity to act as the mediating interpreter between the higher worlds and the three lower kingdoms in nature; thus Mercury institutes the threefold activity of this center in the body of the Heavenly Man which we struggle to perceive and comprehend, and which we regard as forming the three phases of the mind:

1. The abstract mind - pure manas.
2. The Son of Mind - soul, manasaputra.
3. The concrete mind - mental body.

and their correspondences in substance-energy:

1. The right eye.
2. The left eye.
3. The third eye.

Here in pictorial language I have endeavored to indicate the three streams of energy which meet in the center called Humanity, involving therefore:

1. The active intelligence of man, latent in the human center.
2. The initiatory activity of Capricorn.
3. The illumining radiance of Mercury.
