Contemplation
As I
said, this may not be an easy task, but I know
that you have the personal resources to play this
role among your associates and the people who
work for you. You may also picture in your mind
the calm stability that is described in the image
of Contemplation, as a constant meditation that
will help you fulfill this immensely important
role. The image of Contemplation describes a
tower at the center of a great field. From the
tower, one rises in altitude to survey all the
land surrounding it. The tower is designed to
give the long view of things. During the Middle
Ages, great scholars and mystical alchemists like
Faust lived in towers. It is also a place of
utmost tranquility and self-possession, once
again harking back to what I said above about the
eye of the storm.
And in
the central verse associated with the image of
Contemplation, your role is characterized in yet
another way, but still in perfect conformity with
what has already been said above. In this verse,
the oracle says, “Thus the kings of old
visited the regions of the world, contemplated
the people, and gave them instruction.”
In short,
you need to exert a unifying force upon people
during the week ahead. The way in which people
are depending on you is described in the Judgment
verse associated with the image of Contemplation.
In this verse, the oracle says,
“Contemplation. The ablution has been made
but not yet the offering. Full of trust they look
up to him.” This verse draws on the idea of
religion, describing, in our Western terms, the
equivalent of the most profound moment in the
Holy Mass. The Communion (in which the word
“union” is the operative word) requires
the offices of the priest, on whom all others are
absolutely dependent. Thus, you can see the
importance in your situation of rising above all
forms of egoism, so that none of the individuals
referred to above can succeed in drawing you in
their factional direction exclusively through
emotional appeals to you personally. A supreme
detachment will help you in the days ahead to
make a success of your business venture.
