XIX - The Sun...
The Center
Description of the Illustration:A golden-crowned, handsome king rides bareback astride a glorious lion, naked exxcept for his royal cloak and six-rayed scepter; he smiles happily as darkness seems to run from his presence. Orbiting about his crown are all the planets of the solar system - Mercury, Venus, Earth and its Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Sun itself shines its approving rays down to warm him. In the distance in an ominous mirror glares a dark man who looks surprising like the King, only he is completely clothed and rides a black dog. The upper left sphere is gray (Chokmah) while the lower right sphere is yellow (Tiphereth).
Astrological Association: Sun Element: Fire, Masculine
