      SUCCESS    SIX OF DISKS      The Number Six, Tiphareth, as before, represents the full harmonious establishment of  the Energy of the Element. The Moon in Taurus rules the card; and this, while increasing the  approach to perfection (for the Moon is exalted in Taurus and therefore in her highest form)  marks that the condition is transient.    The disks are arranged in the form of the Hexagram, which is shown in skeleton. In the  centre blushes and glows the light rose‐ madder of dawn, and without are three concentric  circles, golden yellow, salmon‐pink, and amber. These colours show Tiphareth fully realized  on Earth; it reaffirms in form what was mathematically set forth in describing the Ace.    The planets are arranged in accordance with their usual attribution; but they are only  shown as disks irradiated by the Sun in their centre.    This Sun is idolized as the Rose and Cross; the Rose has forty‐ nine petals, the interplay  of the Seven with the Seven.
