Identifying

The third Star, related to lessons of Identifying, I call Unity. Its letter is Tav which literally means “a mark” and is correspondent to Saturn. The planet Saturn symbolizes our Self Center – the throne of individualized Awareness or our consciousness of “self”. It is said that we are all marked in this spot by our navel to remind us of our connection and unity with others. Tav is the letter “T” or a Tau cross, the three points of which represent the three-fold consciousness that marks our vessel. It is also called the Egyptian cross, being the symbol marked on the forehead of Egyptian initiates. Self-consciousness allows for our individual experience of the world but when individualized traits are identified as the absolute what would otherwise be an instrument becomes the instrumentalist, rendering Tav the so-called “mark of the beast”. Within this inverse reality of the ego-beast, the planet Saturn is easily perceived as the “great malefic” or Lord Death with his sickle of Time and unwelcomed limitation. Yet in Actuality, Saturn’s Harvest is the collection of Souls, ripened through the passage of Time and unwelcomed limitation here in “The World”… the name of the card Tav is assigned to.
