PHASE 175 (VIRGO 25°): A FLAG AT HALF-MAST IN FRONT OF A PUBLIC BUILDING.

KEYNOTE: The social acknowledgment of a job well done and a destiny fulfilled.

As an individual who has accepted any significantly met public responsibilities reaches the end of his service to his community or to mankind as a whole, he gains social immortality, at least to some extent. In death he becomes identified with the archetype that ensouled his public office. He becomes a "culture hero," enshrined in the official memory of his race. He has found his place in history. The symbol implies the ability to carry any task to its ultimate fulfillment, provided this task is carried out with reference to the need of a collectivity, small or large as it may be.

In this final phase of the thirty-fifth five-fold sequence of symbols we are presented with an image of the end results of the individual's service to mankind. His personal failings may be forgotten but his achievements remain. They are given PUBLIC RECOGNITION.
