Stars: Polaris

Polaris: the Pole Star

Esoterically speaking, the Pole Star is regarded as the “star of re-orientation” whereby the art of “refacing and recovering that which is lost” is developed. This eventually brings a person back to their originating source. It might, therefore, be correctly inferred that [Dubhe] and the energy emanating from it guides humanity upon the involutionary path, and is constantly active in its influence upon the man who is still upon the Mutable Cross. Then the energy of the Pointer furthest from the Pole Star [Merak] begins to make its presence felt and a sense of right direction or guidance is registered by the disciple upon the Path, and such guidance (when followed) leads Humanity nearer the Hierarchy.

…the two Pointers and the Pole Star… are mysteriously connected with the three aspect of incarnated Humanity—Spirit, Soul and Body. […] These three stars are embodiments of the three aspects of divine will. It is the three aspects of all expressions of divinity in manifestation which underlie the Science of Triangles.’

Polaris—The Star of Direction—governing Shamballa.

When the two Pointers are symbolically aligned in humanity, and the personal will is congruent with the soul’s purpose, the influence of the Pole Star can begin to take effect: ‘It is here that the divine necessity of achieving alignment is portrayed for us in the symbolism of the sky and when it has been achieved there is a direct inflow of divine energy and [we are] linked up in a new and creative manner to sources of divine supply. (EA 196-7)

Astrologers will do well (in connection with the horoscopes of disciples and particularly of initiates) to consider the two Pointers [Merak and Dubhe] and the Pole Star. They are mysteriously connected with the three aspects of incarnated [humanity]—Spirit, soul and body. … These three stars are embodiments of the three aspects of divine will. It is the three aspects of all expressions of divinity in manifestation which underlie the Science of Triangles. (EA 197)
