keep going ga-ga.....
Given that Golden Dawn sensibilities were over 100 years ago, perhaps it is time we adapt them for the 21st century - or let them go altogether?
Certainly they were around in a historical period which we (from hindsight - o! what a wonderful sight is hindsight! LOL) refer to as the 'Modernist' era; whislt we are today firmly ensconced in what is called 'Post-Modernist', where the singular Truth has shattered into billions and trillions of little pieces, too many to pick them all up and try and reconstruct it all. So let's just accept the many truths, and in some weird quantum-physics kind of way, try instead to look at the relationship between the truths and try and come up with a different answer....
Don't know....
....I think I like the Star back down the bottom! The Emperor isn't necessarily about horrible patriarchal God pinning us down from above. It is just as much about setting our boundaries, becoming our own Masters. I liken it more to the discipline one learns from doing traditional martial arts, where you develop the self-regulation to obey your own commands, as opposed to the kind of externally-directed discipline learnt in the army, where you develop only the ability to take orders from someone else, and do nothing for yourself.
Its kinda like taking personal responsibility. EG: if you trip over a lead on the floor, do you pick yourself up and remind yourself to pay attention where you're walking, or blame everyone around you and sue them in court?
That is the Emperor who lives on path 15, IMHO.
Whereas the Star is the bridge between our unconscious and our emotions.... that ability to channel the nergy required to manifest our wishes (remember, Aquarius is the Channel - that is why the 'water-pourer' is an Air sign...)
