Rosh-Hashana

Rosh-Hashana is the first feast of the Jewish tradition.
As being the first one, it symbolizes new beginnings exactly as the sign Aries which is the first sign of the zodiac.
As symbolizing the end of the last year, together with what's said above,it expresses the Pluto's principle of regeneration.
Indeed, the Hebrew letters that compose this feast ("ראש השנה")  do express these principles.
the first letter which is Resh ("ר") is traditionally connected to new beginning as being in the first word in the bible ("ראשית"-reshit,the letter "ב"  that before it is a relative word that means "in" so it's not the letter that starts the word), which means beginning.
the word "Rosh" which start with this letter means head & hence also symbolizes (with a potential of containing & controlling it,after all the brain that control the whole body is found in the head) new beginning (exactly like a headline which is the first line of an article that actually contains & controls it).
More than that , if you switch the order of the letter "Resh" with the letter shin ("ש"), the word that is received is "she'erit" ("שארית") which means remain & hence this new word is connected to the end & this is where the principle of regeneration that is connected to Pluto is expressed(because it creates a bond between the beginning & the end).
It seems  that Mars actually actualizes itself here by implementing the principles of the letter Resh.
It starts with its drive in order to initiate a new beginning & ends with it's the highest point that it can achieve which is Pluto's essence of containing, controlling & of course regeneration.
It's known that Mars is connected to the basic instincts of survival as being connected to the base by representing the beginning.
It's also known that the regeneration is the ultimate survival!
Mars(or more correctly the person actualizing it's essence), which is represented by the letter Resh continues its journey to meet the letter Alef that comes after the letter Resh.
The letter Alef (as seen in the previous post) represents God.
God itself is represented by the principles of the three planets: Uranus, Neptune & Pluto which are beyond Saturn's orbit by being the unique (the one & the only) universal principle (represented by Uranus) of eternal & regenerating (represented by Pluto) giving (represented by Neptune).
It helps this person to reach the right way which is the altruism that based on this giving because the basic nature of Mars is the egoism.
When this person starts to go in this direction, he meets the letter Shin.
One of this letter's principle (as traditionally representing Pluto's essence) is the change (the word "change" in Hebrew is shinuy-"שינוי",which starts with this letter).
This change is the transformation of this person's soul & in other words it's the regeneration of the planet Pluto.

the other word-shana("שנה",which means "year".The "ה" which comes before the "ש" turns "a" to "the" & hence it's not part of the word), has both the letter "ש" which represent Pluto's essence & the letter "נ" which represents Scorpio's essence &hence emphasizes Pluto's essence of regeneration & transformation(Pluto controls Scorpio).
More that that, that year itself has the essence of Pluto as being a regenerating period of time, giving this process of self growth (from egoism(represented by the first sign,Aries to altruism(represented by the last sign,Pisces) to actualize itself in any point on it(when this process occurs inside the person's soul).

  1. Very interesting!

    I'd add... Aries as purity, innocence of the new born soul and Pisces as wisdom/knowledge - the soul ready to be reborn, seen in the symbol of the two fish.

    The Rosicrucians saw Aries-Pisces as the two sides of Jesus, the lamb of God and the fisher of men. It seems possible that Jesus, as a Jew, may have used that symbolism deliberately?

    and Happy New Year! :-)
