The seven spheres
- RefinedMoonConstancy — recognising the unmoving witness within the tides
- BindingMercuryMachination — the habit of bending intelligence into cunning and contrivance
- 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
- BindingSaturnThe falsehood that lies in wait — the lie crouched at the boundary, calling the prison wall the edge of the world
