Astrological Equations: Qoshet: Sagittarius

Qoshet / Sagittarius 400 300 100 Gematria: 800                      Qoshet-Keshet/Sagittarius The following sign, Qoshet, whose three cosmic letters (Qof-Sheen-Tav) are so impressive, is actually formed by the female sex, Sammekh, and is, almost ironically, Tsedeq (Jupiter's) abode. In this sign Tsedeq is formed by the pointed Ghimel, indicating that it is resistant to its own residence.     Suares, The Sepher Yetsira (Yetzirah), p.142 The Perfection of Material Energy: Leo through Sagittarius Now we can trace the full evolution of physical energy from the physical cell, Tayt/Arieh, through Sagittarius and the illusion of material perfection to the edge of Capricorn. Flowing from the Tayt (cell) of Leo, energy emphasizes the formative Yod of existence in the next sign, Bayt-Tav-Waw-Lammed-Hay, 2.400.6.30.5 or container cosmic-resistance copulation movement life. Far from a virginal sign, Betolah/Virgo is pregnant with the cell of physical energy. Here, Mercury/Kawkab is Z'ar, Zayn-Raysh-Ayn, the seed of possibility. Next, Libra/Mozenaim, formed by the sign of organic movement, Lammed/30, finds Aleph and Yod in an "ambiguous" (ayn) balance; the "ear" (Aleph-Zayn-Noun) listens in the Waters (Mem-Yod-Mem). The fruitfullness of the Waters are realized in the next sign. In 'Aqarav/Scorpio, Ayn-Qof-Raysh-Vayt, 70.100.200.2 the process of creation has reached its culmination. Formed under the aut of existential life, Noun/50, we could read it as achieved-freedom.cosmic-Aleph.universal-container.individual-container. Qof/cosmic Aleph's penetration down to archetype of the individual container ends the cycle. In the last sign, Qoshet/Sagittarius, Qof-Sheen-Tav is formed by the female centripedal energy of Sammekh/60 and is in some ways in opposition to it. Material energy has reached its perfection, but an immature personality will claim the authority of the cosmic Qof and will strive for the highest material position attainable. Suares points out that both Gemini and Sagittarius flow into Saturn at East-Top and West-Top. Both force a choice -- in Gemini between Tav-Aleph and the Waters, and in Sagittarius between material perfection/power and the realized life of Capricorn.
