| I can only most briefly touch upon the energies which motivate
and condition the Italian empire and the United States, leaving you to make your
deductions and applications. Russia is as yet embryonic and her
part lies more in the East than in the West, provided she follows the indicated lines. Her
two ruling signs are Aquarius and Leo and her real function in the comity of nations lies
far ahead when [86] the Aquarian age is flourishing and the Leo control of the Russian
personality has been offset. The planets which primarily influence Russia are the Sun (2nd
ray), Uranus (7th ray), Jupiter (2nd ray) and the Moon (4th ray). This makes a most
interesting, a most humanitarian and - in the long run - a non-destructive combination. At
present, the intensely individualistic Leo force in its worst aspects are dominating, but
this will not last as history will eventually prove. The noisy, cruel child can turn into
a controlled humanitarian in adult life and the influences potent in the Russian horoscope
indicate this. |
