Again the inner spaceIn former numbers of ZIGZAGZINE we have discussed two patterns of beginning which had
to do with inner space. This time we'll discuss inner space for the third and last time.
Now that we have dealt with space-making and space-claiming, we shall now proceed with space-arranging.
This beginning with keeping in order or regulating takes place when we start with the
application of the 12th colouring or filter, when we begin in the Pisces manner.
We take the initiative of beginning with something by adapting our inner space, therefore
in the background, inside ourselves! People using this pattern of beginning want their
initiative to contribute to bringing order in their inner context. That has to be sure
from the start. |

'First I'll keep my inner space in order'The twelfth sign Pisces acts in an integrating manner, works on gaining inner unity, on
letting go and freedom. Just as in the last phase all preceding phases are known and are
processed, so the last sign has knowledge of all preceding signs. Pisces' way is inwardly
directed, active in the background, in the shadows, ordering experiences, integrating.
From integration can develop inner freedom. In the field (the phase) where Pisces is
active, the person has the possibility to gain inner freedom. If that is in the first
phase of the pattern of beginning, the case we are going to dicuss, then this person is
elusive, you can't lay hands on that person, he doesn't have to prove anything. Pisces is
available and makes things available. Let us imagine asking Johann Sebastian Bach (you know who) what passed through him when he started something new. He could have said: 'I try to feel the situation, sense the atmosphere and then I want to see if I can be of any practical use'. Ringo Starr (drummer of 'The Beatles'): 'I keep quiet until I get a chance to add or contribute something useful and supportive to the group. I am available on demand'. Wilhelmina of Orange (Queen of the Netherlands from 1890-1948): 'I am in the first place aware of a unity with many different people' (the title of her autobiography is "Lonely, but not alone"), and perhaps: 'I serve and want to be served'. The goal of every person who uses the Pisces pattern of beginning is: via social
acceptance, equivalence and uniqueness (phase 12, starting in the sign of Aquarius)
to finally find a solution (continuing with the sign of Pisces). One of
their conditions (phase 2) will always be: Is this also a practical (Aries)
initiative? |

| Johann Seb. Bach, 1685 - 1750. Eisenach, 21 March 1685, 05:45h. [ source ]. As soon as he started something new he shifted his attention to the 12th phase, and from there subsequently towards the 2nd, the 9th, the 4th and then back to the 12th phase. This movement could be repeated continually. |

All other phases formed feeder-lines for the above described movement
between phases:
He added this also to the above-described movement which started in the 12th phase: it
had to serve his unique and musical goal. |
Four feeder-lines:

| Ringo Starr (1940- , real name Richard Starkey) Liverpool, 7 July 1940, 00:01h. [ source ]. He directs his initiative (phase 1) to support the whole or the group, to the 6th phase, from there towards the 4th and then to the 5th phase. He stays there until something diverts his attention. |

All feeding from the other areas eventually reach the area of playing and showing. |
All remaining phases lead, some via one of the functions in the 2nd phase, towards the
4th or the 5th phase. |

| Queen Wilhelmina, (1880-1962), The Hague, 31 August 1880, 18:30h. [ source ] As soon as she started something new, she shifted her attention to the 3rd phase, and from there towards the 7th, the 6th phase and then back again to the 7th phase. |

Wilhelmina could be very nice to people but also suddenly turn away from them in a
sharp and critical way. |

Other people: more illustrationsI have not elaborated on the drummer of 'The Beatles' Ringo Starr and Queen Wilhelmina as much as I did on Joh. S. Bach. As it turned out, Bach yielded so much interesting material which took so much space that it seemed better to leave it at that. Another fact was that there are relatively very few people with this pattern of beginning and I wanted that to be evident. People with this pattern of beginning are generally at the outset not very visible, rather stay in the background. Examples of people who share(d) this pattern of beginning [ sources ] are listed on a separate page. Links to |

Shifts of perspectiveIn the course of the process we transfer our attention, depending on the phase of the
process we are dealing with. The transference of attention is like a shift of perspective:
we view the activity from a different standpoint and in the manner which, for the person
involved, matches that standpoint. In the discussion of the examples in former numbers of
ZIGZAGZINE about patterns, I have already given global descriptions of these shifts of
attention. Albert Einstein transferred his attention from phase 1 to 6, Sigmund Freud
shifted his perspective from phase 1 to 6, and Ringo Starr does the same: from 1 to 6.
They do so (go directly to the 6th phase) for quite different reasons.
Einstein, who began in the Cancer way, transferred his attention to
phase 6 because the Moon, which is closely connected with Cancer, was
positioned in that phase; Freud, who began in the Scorpio
manner, shifted to phase 6 because Pluto was situated there; Ringo Starr,
beginning in the Pisces manner, did so because Neptune was
located in the 6th phase in Virgo. Johann Sebastian Bach however, who also began in the
Pisces manner, transferred his attention to phase 12, because in the period from 1685
till c. 1697 Neptune was situated in Pisces. All people who were born in that period with
Pisces Ascendant would have had Neptune in the 12th or in the 1st phase of
the process and as a consequence would go directly from phase 1 to the perspective of
phase 12 or stay in phase 1 for some time. |
