A huge human face is formed in the stone of a mountainside.

This degree speaks of the development of character so enduring and monumental that it becomes indistinguishable from nature itself.

ETERNAL CHARACTER

"Becoming the mountain"

The Great Stone Face represents the ultimate achievement of character — qualities so consistently expressed over such duration that they become permanent features of the landscape. This final symbol of the zodiac speaks to the possibility that human character, when sufficiently developed, achieves the permanence of stone.

Left unexamined, the compulsion to perform eternal character without genuine feeling — the development of character so enduring and monumental that it becomes indistinguishable from nature itself, but hollowed of meaning.
