Twelve Moods
GA 40
Aries:
Arise, oh shining light,
Take hold of growth and becoming,
Lay hold of the weaving of forces,
Yourself ray forth, life-wakening.
In face of resistance, gain;
In stream of time, disperse;
Oh shine of light, abide!
Taurus:
Brighten, oh glory of being,
Reach into the power of becoming,
And weave the thread of life
Through worlds imbued with being,
In mindful revelation,
Into radiant life-awareness.
Oh glory of being, appear!
Gemini:
Reveal yourself, life of sun,
Stir up what tends to rest,
Embrace what desires to strive
Towards a mighty prevailing of life,
Towards a blessed knowing of worlds,
Towards a fruitful maturing of growth.
Oh life of sun, endure!
Cancer:
You resting, luminous glow,
Engender warmth of life,
Enwarm the life of soul
To meet with vigor each test
And permeate itself with spirit
In quiet, light-outstreaming.
You luminous glow, gain strength!
Leo:
Invigorate with senses' might
Matured existence of all worlds,
Perceptive element of beings,
Toward the firm resolve 'to be'.
In the surging shine of life,
In the prevailing pains of growth,
With senses' might, arise!
Virgo:
Behold the worlds, oh soul!
Let the soul take hold of worlds,
Let the spirit lay hold of being,
Work out of powers of life,
Upon will-experience, build,
In blossoming worlds, put trust.
Oh soul, comprehend the beings!
Libra:
The worlds are sustaining worlds,
And being perceives itself within being,
Existence bounds itself with existence.
And being stirs and causes being
To pour out deeds that unfold,
To rest in world-enjoyment.
Oh worlds, uphold the worlds!
Scorpio:
Existence consumes the being,
Yet in being, existence is held.
In activity, growth disappears,
In becoming activity pauses.
In worlds that prevail and punish,
In the chastening that shapes and forms,
All-being sustains the beings.
Sagittarius:
Becoming achieves the power ‘to be’,
Into what is, the might of becoming dies.
Achievement resolves the desire to strive
Into prevailing will-force of life.
In dying, there ripens prevailing of worlds,
Forms disappear within forms.
What has come to be, may it feel what is!
Capricorn:
May what is coming, rest on what has been.
May what has been, surmise what is to come,
For a vigorous present existence.
Through inward life-withstanding
May world-beings' guard grow strong,
May life's working might blossom forth,
May what has been endure what is to come!
Aquarius:
May what is bounded yield to the boundless.
What feels the lack of bounds, may it create
Bounds for itself in its depths;
May it raise itself in the current,
As wave, flowing forth, sustaining itself,
In becoming, shaping itself to existence.
Set yourself bounds, oh boundless!
Pisces:
In what is lost, may the loss find itself,
In what is gained, may the gain lose itself,
In what is comprehended, may comprehending seek itself
And sustain itself by sustaining.
Through becoming, uplifted to existence,
Through existing, interwoven with the becoming.
May the loss be gain in itself!
Widder:
Erstehe, o Uchtesschein,
Erfasse das Werdewesen,
Ergreife das Kräfteweben,
Erstrahle dich Sein-erweckend.
Am Widerstand gewinne,
Im Zeitenstrom zerinne.
O Uchtesschein, verbleibe!.

In leuchtendes Seins-Gewahren.
O Wesensglanz, erscheine!
Zwillinge:
Erschliesse dich, Sonnesein,

O Sonnesein, verharrel.

Und Wesen erwirket Wesen
Zu werdendem Tatergiessen,
In ruhendem Weltgeniessen.
O Welten, traget Welten!
Skorpion:
Das Sein, es verzehrt das Wesen,
Im Wesen doch halt sich Sein.
Im Wirken entschwindet Werden,
Im Werden verharret Wirken.
In strafendem Weltenwalten,
Im ahndenden Sich-Gestalten
Das Wesen erhalt die Wesen.
Shütze:
Das Werden erreicht die Seinsgewalt,
Im Seienden erstirbt die Werdemacht.
Erreichtes beschliesst die Strebelust
In waltender Lebenswillenskraft.
Im Sterben erreift das Weitenwalten,
Gestalten verschwinden in Gestalten.
Das Seiende fühle das Seiende!
Steinbock:
Das Künftige ruhe auf Vergangenem.
Vergangenes erfühle Künftiges
Zu kräftigem Gegenwartsein.
Im inneren Lebenswiderstand
Erstarke die Weltenwesenwacht,
Erblühe die Lebenswirkensmacht.
Vergangenes ertrage Künftiges!
Wasserman:
Begrenztes sich opfere Grenzenlosem.
Was Grenzen vermisst, es gründe
In Tiefen sich selber Grenzen;
Es hebe im Strome sich,
Als Welle verfliessendsich haltend,
Im Werden zum Sein sich gestaltend.
Begrenze dich, o Grenzenloses.
Fische
Im Verlorenen finde sich Verlust,
Im Gewinn verliere sich Gewinn,
Im Begriffenen suche sich das Greifen
Und erhalte sich im Erhalten.
Durch Werden zum Sein erhoben,
Durch Sein zu dem Werden verwoben,
Der Verlust sei Gewinn für sich!
Aries:
Arise, O dawn,
Grasp the becoming,
Seize the web of power,
Shine forth, awakening being.
Gain strength through resistance,
Melt away in the stream of time.
O dawn, remain!

Shine forth, radiance of being,
Feel the power of becoming,
Weave the thread of life
Into the living world,
Into meaningful revelation,
In luminous awareness of being.
O radiance of being, appear!

Open yourself, being of the sun,
Move the urge to rest,
Enclose the desire to strive
In powerful vitality,
To blissful world comprehension,
To fruitful future maturity.
O sun, remain.

You resting luminous splendor,
Generate life warmth,
Warm the soul life
To powerful self-proving,
To spiritual penetration,
In calm light-bringing.
You shining light, grow stronger!

Flow through with powerful meaning
The world that has come into being,
Feeling essence
To willing decision of being.
In flowing life-light,
In ruling pain of becoming,
Arise with power of meaning!

Behold the worlds, soul!
Let the soul grasp worlds,
Let the spirit comprehend beings,
Work from the forces of life,
Build in the life of will,
Trust in the blossoming of the vast.
O soul, recognize beings!
Libra:
The worlds sustain worlds,
In beings, beings experience themselves,
In being, being encompasses itself.
And beings bring forth beings
In becoming action,
In tranquil world enjoyment.
O worlds, bear worlds!
Scorpio:
Being consumes essence,
Yet essence holds being.
In action, becoming disappears,
In becoming, action remains.
In punishing worldly power,
In punitive self-formation
Being preserves beings.
Sagittarius:
Becoming reaches the power of being,
In being, the power of becoming dies.
What has been achieved concludes the striving desire
In the ruling power of the will to live.
In dying, the vastness of power matures,
Forms disappear into forms.
Let the existing feel the existing!
Capricorn:
The future rests on the past.
The past senses the future
To a powerful presence.
In the inner resistance of life
The vigilance of the world's beings grows stronger,
The power of life's activity blossoms.
The past bears the future!
Aquarius:
The limited sacrifices itself to the limitless.
What lacks boundaries, it establishes
Its own boundaries in the depths;
It lifts itself in the stream,
Flowing as a wave, holding itself,
Forming itself into being in the process of becoming.
Limit yourself, O limitless one.
Pisces
In what is lost, find loss,
In gain, lose gain,
In what is grasped, seek grasping
And preserve yourself in preservation.
Elevated to being through becoming,
Interwoven with becoming through being,
Let loss be gain for itself!
