Taking a Crack at the Planets
You know me, I can only make sense of things by attempting to work forward from first principles: large lists of random associations don't make any sense to me. As I start to dig a little deeper into astrology, here's an attempt at the planets:
Planet | Principle |
---|---|
Saturn | contraction |
Jupiter | expansion |
Mars | conflict |
Sol | emission |
Venus | harmony |
Mercury | mediation |
Luna | reception |
Of particular note, these form three orthogonal poles: Jupiter/Saturn (up/down), Mars/Venus (left/right), Sol/Luna (forward/back), with Mercury sitting in the center between them all. I'm not yet certain of Uranus/Neptune, except that I suspect they form a forth orthogonal pole of some kind (future/past?).
no subject
Yes, if you were to look at the 211 propositions of Proclus in Elements of Theology--in the raw, sans commentary--they could almost work as a kind of code for procession from The One.
Excellent.
