The Three Spiritual Festivals
The sun’s symbolic passage through the signs of the zodiac brings into focus the subtle energies they represent, and this tracks the progress of the spiritual year. The higher interlude of this annual cycle begins in Aries with the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere and continues through Taurus and up to the solstice at the close of Gemini. This whole interlude carries fresh divine energies setting the tone for the service initiatives of the unfolding year and is celebrated by the three festivals of Easter, Wesak and Goodwill.
In general terms, Aries (Easter) stimulates mental processes and relates to divine love; Taurus (Wesak) stimulates the sensitive nature and is associated with wisdom; and Gemini (Goodwill) vitalises etheric substance and relates to spiritual unity – the divinity within humanity. These festivals focus on the divine vibration received and offer the opportunity to consciously engage with the new spiritual influences to facilitate their fuller expression in the personal and group life.

Triangles is a world service activity in which people link in thought in groups of three to create a planetary network of Triangles of light and goodwill. Using a world prayer, the Great Invocation, they invoke light and love as a service to humanity. Further information is available on request from Triangles.
The Triangles Bulletin is for people of goodwill and is published four times a year in Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
