Septem Portae
Albedo · 3/7 refined
Albedo · 3 of seven spheres refined
With two or three dispositions surrendered, the chaos first settles and shows a ground colour. The work of whitening is washing and discernment: do not rush upward — first guard the clarity already won, like cloth bleaching under moonlight.
I
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
- RefinedVenusClear-sighted love — loving what a thing is, not what it promises
- BindingSunThe arrogance of rulership — mistaking one's central place for supremacy
- BindingMarsReckless audacity — headlong collision that mistakes impatience for courage
- BindingJupiterGreed for wealth — the insatiable hoarding of abundance
- RefinedSaturnTruth — looking limits in the face without being deceived by them
