Virgo 26 degrees: A boy with a censer

The occasion of the new moon taking place precisely at this moment in exact conjunction with the planet Saturn, opposing Uranus, suggests a turbulent month to come for many people. It would seem as good a time as any to contemplate the Sabian symbol and Marc Edmund Jones's profound interpretation for the 26th degree of Virgo:

"A boy with a censer. This is a symbol of individual initiative as a basic dynamic in the universal scheme of things, and it reveals itself most simply in our positive and necessarily self-seeking outreach to the world we would claim for ourselves. We make our conscious appeal to God , since it is a divine being which provides the over-all unity we recognize and enlist for our aspiration. Our motive is spiritual because we know we must share any reality we would care to possess. The keyword is rapture. When positive the degree is completeness of self-dedication and an achievement grounded in a consistent worthiness of living, and when negative, a resort to empty motions in order to avoid any appreciable self-expenditure."

And what exactly does it mean to contemplate this material, and to what end? Is the gesture perhaps a grand fatuity? I still wonder, and fling it out amongst us to see if it will fly. I personally am aware of the operation of the negative alternative at this very moment.
