Significance of Rulerships
All elements combine to rule this glyph. This is because The Universe represents unification and integration. It is the creative fusion of all that has been, is, and will be.
Saturn rules The Universe. This gives us the aspects of harvest, abundance, and fulfillment; but also of responsibility, control, and discipline.
The Astrological rulership is, quite appropriately, the universe and all that is contained within it. This is a call for us to realize that the universe exists not outside ourselves, but within ourselves. Therefore, anything and everything that we can dream can be achieved.
The Hebrew letter for The Universe is Tau, the Cross. This is known as your personal mark, your identity. It speaks of establishing your role in theuniverse, of letting your uniqueness shine through to your advantage. It is the sum of the entire essence of all that is and ever has been.
The Numerological Value for The Universe is 21, or the qualities of the Empress in their highest form. Within her, she carries the seeds of all potentiality. Therefore, this vibration symbolizes that within ourselves are the seeds for all that we can become and achieve.
