"If your Sun Sign or Ascendant is Taurus, Scorpio, or Sagittarius, you are functioning on the FOURTH RAY OF HARMONY THROUGH CONFLICT. “The purpose of the Fourth Ray [is to be] an agent of balance. The Fourth Ray leads to that type of discrimination required for the life of the Soul and the way of service. It is thus the Ray of trial and error, so that we may move from the unreal to the real. The Fourth Ray is the energy behind what we may call ‘Divine Discontent’…. As the Ray of beauty and art, the Fourth Ray is also essentially the refiner—the urge for an ever-more-perfect representation of the Will of God in the many forms of Its expression…. The Fourth is the Ray of struggle, and those people who are especially connected to it will find a very special duality appearing in their lives…. As the Ray of the artist, the Fourth is especially connected to color. People who are closely associated with this Ray may find themselves with tremendous gifts.
Soul Level: The ‘Divine Artist’—one who seeks to raise humanity’s consciousness through the realization of the beauty and harmony existing in nature and in the world of forms; the mediator between heaven and earth, God and man; the Priest.
Personality Level: Ray of the mediator, interpreter, artist, and those healers whose treatments involve the harmonizing and balancing of the body’s energies and polarities—acupuncture, certain techniques of massage, color therapy.
General Positive Traits: Strong sense of equilibrium and symmetry; a poetic sensibility, especially about nature; imaginative and creative in the formation of one’s life-style; can sustain struggle and conflict until desired aims are achieved.
General Character Difficulties: Indolence, self-indulgence; may be overly passionate; may initiate conflicts unnecessarily; restlessness and a tendency to depression when goals cannot be accomplished. (Since the Fourth is very much a blend of Rays One & Two, when the energy of the First Ray of Will/Power is not in balance with the Second Ray, the resulting lack of direction for the expression of Will is clearly marked. This demonstrates as a poorly focused sense of personal orientation to life and a resultant lack of willpower.)
To Be Cultivated: Serenity, emotional balance, confidence, self-control, truth, clarity of purpose."

VERY RARE SOUL: The Dynamics of the Fourth Ray Soul
"According to the Ageless Wisdom, there are at this time in history only a “very few” fourth ray souls in incarnation, though they are slowly beginning to come into incarnation (Esoteric Psychology, Vol. I, p. 26). The meaning of “very few” is, unfortunately, not determinable. It could be a relative term, and might, in fact, relate to a significant number. Further, those ray four souls who are in incarnation, are said to be found only “in the ranks of disciples of the Great White Lodge” (The Rays and the
Initiations, p. 605). The great majority of those who are interested in the seven rays are either aspirants or disciples. Since aspirants and disciples are few in number compared with the rest of humanity, the concentration of ray four souls (though very small when considering humanity as a whole) might be significantly greater in the ranks of aspirants and disciples.
In Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. II, p. 220, we read the following which has important
implications for this discussion: Within the United Nations is the germ and the seed of a great international and mediating, reflective group—a group of thinking and informed men and
women in whose hands lie the destiny of humanity.
Is the Tibetan speaking of those whose souls are upon the fourth ray? Perhaps yes, perhaps no. He has said, “…few fourth ray egos are available in world service. There are, however, many fourth ray personalities and they can learn much by the study of the work of the New Group of World Servers (Esoteric Psychology, Vol. II, p. 142). It could be said that the New Group of World Servers is equivalent to the “great international and mediating, reflective group” referred to above, and that, therefore, the phrase “fourth ray disciples” signifies those whose personality ray (and/or mental ray) is strongly conditioned by the fourth ray. It seems there must remain some ambiguity surrounding the subject of whether or not ray four souls are to be found with reasonable frequency among the ranks of disciples.
All this is an attempt at educated guessing. Given various statements by the Tibetan, it is wise to be cautious when assessing an individual as a fourth ray soul, for the ray as a whole (on some level of its several cycles) is definitely outof incarnation [written, 1988]. On the other hand, there are, equally as definitely, ray four souls among us, and one would not want to foreclose the possibility—especially when considering individuals who are aspirants and disciples. It is well to remember that the term “disciple” is very broad, and has been applied, on one or more occasions to denote a range of development extending from the humblest aspirant on the periphery of Hierarchy, all the way up to and beyond the Christ. It would seem wise to judge each case on its own merits, and have a very clear idea (to the extent that it is possible) of how a ray four soul would manifest.
The Experience: The energy and influence of the ray four soul are experienced as an irresistible inner urge to bring harmony and beauty out of conflict and chaos.
Contribution: One of the greatest contributions of the fourth ray soul is the service of harmonizing and beautifying the lives of others —helping them reconcile their conflicts, resolve their crises constructively, and bring peace and/or aesthetic loveliness into their daily experience. (All these actions apply to the gifts which the fourth ray soul is equipped to bestow upon the environment in general, as well as upon people.)"
