It is to be noted that the 7th Manifestation consists of the astrological ages Virgo, Leo and Cancer. Vishnu’s Age of Preservation is lodged between Virgo and Cancer. Leo, the Lion, was the first of Vishnu’s ‘strides to measure the universe’, it may be remembered. Theon was correct in understanding that there would be no pralaya any more because a certain equilibrium had been attained. Indeed, the 7th Manifestation, which he called the ‘seventh creation’, according to the Mother, would rightfully correspond to the astrological 7th sign, Libra, precisely the sign of balance and equilibrium.
