The Sage

The One with Wisdom

Sign

Virgo

Role

The Potentiator of the Body

The Sage offers withdrawal from the ordinary to experience the extraordinary. The seeker unravels ego to discover insight.

A hermit avoids others. The sage avoids influence.

The poem

Before I know I must see
before I see I must know
the plan in motion
before the commotion.
And then the truth will show
and in the stillness
the lantern begins to glow
and there, I know, the spirit flows
