And so…today, February 4, 2025, Tuesday.
Mars overseeing our day today.
Mars, Ray 6 – asking us what are our desires & aspirations, hopes, visions, wishes & dreams. These are the “Poets of emotions.”

Mars & the Signs
Mars flows through Aries (all things new):
Scorpio (tests that lead to Discipleship):
& Sagittarius (the pilgrim on the Way to Shamballa).

Mars – Ray 6 of Devotion.
Virtues & Vices of Ray 6.
SKILLFUL & UNSKILLFUL WAYS OF DEMONSTRATING RAY 6.

Skillful –
Aspiration, hopes, wishes, dreams, visions, devotion, love, tenderness, care, compassion, loyalty, reverence, etc. Seeing the needs & responding to the need. Mars is like an arrow, directed towards a goal, reaching that goal, seeing the next goal.

Unskillful Ways of Demonstrating Ray 6.
Fanaticism (concerning anything especially religion), fiery anger, deception, impatience, separations, concretization of & being stilled & caught in the past, not moving forward, etc.

THE SIXTH RAY OF DEVOTION
Special Virtues:
Devotion, single-mindedness, love, tenderness, intuition, loyalty, reverence.

Vices of Ray:
Selfish and jealous love, over-leaning on others, partiality, self-deception, sectarianism, superstition, prejudice, over-rapid conclusions, fiery anger, bigotry, inquisitor, idolatry, lack of sympathy.

Virtues to be acquired:
Strength, self-sacrifice, purity, truth, tolerance, serenity, balance and common sense.

Ray 6 is the Ray of devotion. Those on Ray 6 are full of religious instincts and impulses, and of intense personal feeling; nothing is taken equably. Everything is either perfect or intolerable; friends are angels, enemies are very much the reverse; one’s view, in both cases, is formed not on the intrinsic merits, but on the way others appeal to them, or on the sympathy or lack of sympathy which they show to their favorite idols, whether these be concrete or abstract, for a Ray 6 person is full of devotion, devoted to a person or to a cause.

A Ray 6 person has & adores a “personal God,” an incarnation of Deity. The best type on Ray 6 makes the saint, the worst type, the bigot or fanatic, the typical martyr or the typical inquisitor. All religious wars or crusades have originated from sixth ray fanaticism. A Ray 6 person is often of a gentle nature, but can quickly flame into fury and fiery wrath. One laid down their life for the objects of their devotion or reverence (their ideals), but will not help those outside of their immediate sympathies. As a soldier, a Ray 6 person hates fighting but often when roused in battle fights like one possessed. Never a great statesman nor a good business person, but may be a great preacher or orator.

The sixth ray person will be the poet of the emotions (such as Tennyson) and the writer of religious books, either in poetry or prose. Devoted to beauty and colour and all things lovely, but one’s productive skill is not great unless under the influence of one of the practically artistic rays, the fourth or seventh. A Ray 6 person’s music will always be of a melodious order, and can often be the composer of oratories and of sacred music.

The method of healing for Ray 6 would be by faith and prayer.

The way of approaching the Path would be by prayer and meditation, aiming at union with God.

How to use this information.
Look at one’s astrology chart.
Find the house/area of life where Aries, Scorpio & Sag are.
Then begin to observe how one acts in these areas of life.
This is a real study of one’s actions, behaviors, emotions, mental abilities, etc. Knowing the signs, having one’s astrology chart, gazing at one’s chart, understanding the areas of life in the chart, understanding the Rays. This is esoteric astrology in real life.
