| | Extracts from the books of Alice Bailey related to the sign of Capricorn (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | This sign portrays to us man, an ambitious animal in two senses of the word: in the early stage upon [Page 154] the Mutable Cross, man, the blend of desire (water) and the animal nature (earth), and upon the reversed wheel, man, the blend of soul and form. |
 | | Secondly, Capricorn is ever the sign of conclusion, and of this the mountain top is frequently (though not always) the symbol, for it marks the point beyond which further ascent in any particular life cycle is not possible. |
 | | Capricorn is, therefore, the sign of what has been called esoterically "periodic arresting." Progress becomes impossible under the existing forms, and there has to be the descent into the valley of pain, despair and death before a fresh attempt to scale the heights takes place. |
