The Esoteric and ExotericRuler is Mars • Mars is definitely the planet which rules and controls the physical vehicle. • In Scorpio, the result of all the struggle carried forward during the pilgrimage around the zodiac is brought to a point of climax through the activity of Mars. • The disciple has now to demonstrate the strength, character and quality which he has unfolded and developed within himself during his long pilgrimage.
The Esoteric and ExotericRuler is Mars • All aspects of the lower nature are involved in this crisis, and the tests applied involve the form nature--gross and subtle, integrated and potent. • The effect of Mars is largely mass effect and group results, producing great struggles but leading finally to great revelation.... • In Scorpio, it is the revelation of the vision of liberation and service; .. . It must never be forgotten that Mars establishes relations between the opposites and is a beneficent and not a malefic factor, as is so often supposed.
The Hierarchical Ruler is Mercury • We shall find that Scorpio rules and governs the fourth Creative Hierarchy, the human, from the angle of the soul and not from the angle of the lower nature. • The final struggle in Scorpio only takes place when the point of balance between soul and body has been reached in Libra and it is in Scorpio that the preponderance of spiritual energy is imposed upon the lower personal forces. • Scorpio governs "the initiates", which is the true esoteric name of man, and through its hierarchical planetary ruler, the Sons of Mind, the Messengers of Deity are revealed, but it is through Mars and the Martian activity that the revelation comes about.
Ray Ruler for Scorpio • The fourth ray of “Harmony through Conflict” is associated with Scorpio. • It is through such conflict that the real task of Scorpio rising takes place—transformation! • And while Scorpio is transforming herself, she is also encountering those life experiences which bring her into contact with the opportunities to be an agent of transformation and renewal for others.
The Labour in Scorpio His challenge in this sign is to destroy the hydra.
The Labour in Scorpio When a drought occurred in Argos, Amymone called upon the aid of Neptune, who commanded her to strike a rock, from which, when she did, gushed out three crystal streams. But soon a terrible hydra came to live there and a plague spread over the whole countryside. Hercules must now destroy this monster with its nine heads, of which one is immortal.
Hercules completes his task In the stench of the Lernean swamp, Hercules tracks the foul beast to its lair and is forced to resort to firing arrows, dipped in burning pitch, to draw it out into the open. Provoked, the raging monster attacks Hercules and battle commences—the hydra growing stronger, not weaker, with each assault.
Interpretation of the myth Scorpio has been described both as a turning point for the individual and in the life of humanity. In the hydra, we have depicted the serpent of desire and all the unredeemed aspects of human nature and in the associated tests and trials are illustrated the formidable problems of self-mastery. Its symbolism is particularly appropriate in our contemporary way of life in the ethos of a consumer society that feeds selfish desire with little regard to the consequences or the pressing material needs of others.
Interpretation of the myth If we aspire to reconnect to the wellspring of spiritual life, we must free ourselves from the prison of clamoring desires. Like Hercules, the disciple must first recognize the existence of the hydra, search for it with patience and finally, with humility, destroy it. The concise reminder, given to Hercules by his Teacher, is revealing: “We rise by kneeling, we conquer by surrendering; we gain by giving up”.
Interpretation of the myth In Scorpio, Hercules becomes the triumphant disciple. He demonstrates to himself that he can rise above the thrall of matter and stand, for all time, in spiritual being. The same test awaits each disciple and humanity, the world disciple.
Scorpio Hercules Question What do each of the nine heads represent?
The three tests in Scorpio concern the three aspects of the human being as they fuse and blend upon the physical plane. • Tests of appetite/physical plane • Sex—the relation of the pairs of opposites.—These can be selfishly utilized or divinely blended. • Physical comfort—life conditions, selfishly appropriated. • Money—selfishly cornered. • Tests of desire/emotional plane • Fear—which conditions activity today. • Hate—which is a factor in conditioning relationships • Ambition—conditioning objectives. • Tests of lower critical mind/mental plane • Pride—which is intellectual satisfaction, making the mind the barrier to soul control. • Separativeness—which is the isolated attitude and which makes the mind the barrier to right group relationships. • Cruelty—which is satisfaction with personality methods and which makes the mind the instrument of the sense of power.
