The Six People in Your Chart
begins the Upper or Heavenly trigram of the I Ching symbol . From this point on , influence and connection replaces selfreliance and independence . Persuasion becomes more important than personal will power , much like the upper half of the Western Chart . This is the realm of the Minister or Eldest Son or Daughter . Because of its proximity to the King above it , the Minister holds a place of humility and tact . As the king ’ s representative , he holds a status above the workers and artisans below him , but his responsibilities are many with limited decision making power . This is a position of mediator or enforcer who understands the law and applies his wisdom to practical issues . In Western Astrology , there is an obvious tie to Libra and her darker companion , Scorpio . This is the role of the judge , or the middle manager , who need to focus on productivity and results . It is also the role of the husband and wife who look to accommodate to each other ’ s expectations and aspirations . Rudhyar assigns this power to Kriyashakti , the force that produces results from ideas and intents , much like the power behind The Secret 4 made so popular in recent years .
Line five is the King or father and holds

the most powerful position of all six lines . This is the place where decisions are made and a vision originates for allotting power to the other five figures . Although the king is supreme , he has the responsibility of distributing his power to where it is needed . His strength is to form a strategy which benefits the entire system and so defines the law and delegates control accordingly . It ’ s important to understand the king does not execute the law , but rather creates it . In that sense he is like the Mother , only his creations are not tied to the Earth , but rather to principles , honor and integrity . His influence is felt by everyone . The signs of Sagittarius and Capricorn align with this energy as do the ninth and tenth houses . Kundalinishakti is the force that Rudhyar links to this role , the descent of the spiritual force , which has a regenerating effect on the material plane . It is associated with relevance , inspiration and empowerment . When the vision of the king is clear , harmony is infused into every aspect of society . When clouded , chaos reigns and everyone suffers .
The Chinese regarded both the sixth and the first lines to be insignificant , concentrating on the more powerful inner four lines . The reasoning behind this is similar to a rule in Horary Astrology which regarded the early and final degrees of a sign as either too soon or too late to be of much relevance . The sixth line refers to the Sage or retired grandparent who has moved beyond participating in the social struggle of the other figures . This also can refer to special interest groups who , while individually weak , are influential when operating as an organized whole . Aquarius and Pisces relate most powerfully to this stage . They represent highly focused interests which are often the wave of the future . In modern Western society , they are anything but weak . The image of the sage does conjure up a return to the elemental forces of the world as means of finding our spiritual roots . According to many studies , Americans take matters of religion more seriously than most other nations , for better or worse . Rudhyar associates this power with Matrikashakti , literally , the power of the thought or word , a theme we look to as the events of our time put our most cherished principles of freedom and democracy to the test .
