The impulse from the sign leads the cosmos and human beings towards their destiny. Blavatsky relates the sign with the Occult Hierarchy, commissioned to 'create' man in a special mould. It is the task of the Fifth Hierarchy, the mysterious beings who preside over the constellation 'to inform the empty and ethereal animal form, and make of it the Rational Man'. She also states that the Dhyanis in India and Egypt were connected with the crocodiles and their abode was in Capricorn. Capricorn is a mystical sign capable of producing selfishness as well as occult insight.
