The seven spheres
- BindingMoonThe force of growth and waning — the involuntary swelling and shrinking that follows every external tide
- RefinedMercuryStraightforwardness — letting speech and thought travel the same straight road
- BindingVenusIllusory desire — love that projects the infinite onto finite objects
- RefinedSunHumility — shining on all things without claiming the credit of light
- RefinedMarsTempered courage — the strength that knows what is fearful and advances nonetheless
- BindingJupiterGreed for wealth — the insatiable hoarding of abundance
- RefinedSaturnTruth — looking limits in the face without being deceived by them
