The celebration of the East is the time/space for reawakening the connection between the reality of the world and the transcendence. In this "Saturn" year (a year of career-responsibility) the East ritual means a time/space to either: find your basic revelation, or if you have that already, to use your revelation to transform your worldly profession, and put it in better alignment with your "spiritual vocation."

Prior to the invocation, when near the fire, remember the many false steps you have taken to find your true way. Thank your teachers, ancestors and masters who prepared you to listen to the call of the divine. Think of the many friends who confirmed your life so that you did not lose your way. Then recall five inspiring synchronicities that happened to you in the past to reveal the correctness of your way. Leave all fears behind because from this day forward you will always have the force to try to do the right thing.

Next ask yourself two questions. Who am I? and What am I? In the circle during the invocation listen to the Answers that come to these questions from the ten steps. Try to remember these Answers. It might be good to write them down immediately thereafter, or to design them, so that you won't forget them for the whole year up till the next ritual of the East (Spring Equinox).

Saturn in myth meant a golden era where everything was good due to cosmic justice. Take the preparedness that comes to you from this East celebration and use it to during the year. Use it to transform everything that happens to you into a positive inspiration, no matter how difficult it may look in the moment. During this year also try to remember all of the things that you have forgotten to do correctly so far in your life, and try to make them well again. Know your responsibility. Do you have the position and power to fulfill your spiritual work? Do you have to give up any superfluous things, or start into unknown directions?

Next think of the number from the last celebration. Try to fortify it and understand it. Allow your spiritual work, your higher vocation, to become part of the sense of that number. Have confidence that each step you take in this work will lead in the right direction. Wear that number on your shirt so that others can ask you if they can have help in their spiritual vocation from that symbol.

The Equinox, the point of Spring, is a time for understanding that the plenitude of the New Age can be realized in beauty. What can you do tomorrow to make life more beautiful? Have flowers around and pick one to add to the number on your shirt. This symbolizes your capacity, like the flower, to unite the growing light of the sun with the spiritual light.
