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
- RefinedMarsTempered courage — the strength that knows what is fearful and advances nonetheless
- RefinedJupiterGenerosity — letting abundance flow through oneself without damming it
- RefinedSaturnTruth — looking limits in the face without being deceived by them
