Planets, Bells

… Perhaps what is meant is the “wave” aspect of the planets. Or the planets symbolically represent different wavelengths

Because, unlike the sun, planets do not cast shadows on the Earth.

Of course the Sun is not a planet and I’m not putting it in the list of planets. Alchemists know well that the Sun is the ruler of the solar system, around which everything revolves. To clarify further, I can say that the planets of the solar system, from the alchemical and hermetic point of view, must be in the company of the Sun.

Pure ether because, unlike air, the ancients said that it was a void free of earthly dust. See Air Alchemy, the Dust.

The ancients also called the planetary part “night”.

The influence of the planets exerts an impulse of movement on the atmospheric air. For alchemists, the planets are what comes from them to Earth: something that can move the atmospheric air. Fire itself is so called because it is “flickering”.

No wonder, for alchemists, wind, air pressure and sound had the same origin. See also Air Alchemy, the Fabric.

Maybe not exactly moved, but “governed” by the Sun.

The profound difference is that the stars do not need to be governed by any other celestial body, since they govern themselves. Proof of this is that, in addition to competing with the Sun, they can even overwhelm it at certain times of the year.

Different words to repeat what was said above: when the planets were sound, they were moved by the Sun. When they were air, they were always moved by the Sun.

The only difference is that in the Aura Catena the list of “orchestral” is cited, Saturn the furthest, the Moon the closest.

In fact, in astrology, the domification of the planets makes sense only from the point of view of the ecliptic.

In the end we see how, for the alchemists, everything is reduced to movements in the air. It is undeniable, in fact, that movements in the air and the winds are governed by the changes of season.

The daily division then led to the “domification“ of the astrological houses. Of which the cardinal ones are I, IV, VIII and X.

As with birds, or liver malformations or the roughness of the ground by ancient augurs, the planets can predict events by chance – but some would say “by analogy” or “synchronicity”.

We cannot plan the future of alchemical processes, as the movements of the ephemeris could upset all our plans. To understand better, for example, our natal chart can be fully understood only at the moment of our death. At that moment, among all the various possibilities, everything has been accomplished and everything has taken on a meaning.

If we analyze more deeply what kind of alchemical works we are talking about, we discover that they are spagyric works. In fact, astrology is widely used in spagyria.

This makes the planets a true “horizon,” that is, a visible boundary between the Sky and the Earth.

In fact, it was the Chaldeans who created a system that could codify this connection between sky and earth. Thus were born the numbers, those that were considered above their common use as mere calculation symbols. Through sacred numbers, the Chaldeans measured energies, as we would say today. Or cosmic forces, as the ancients said.

Before becoming a tool for predicting the future, the concept of cosmic number was for the Chaldeans a means to understand what we today too roughly call the “energy flow” that crosses the universe, and which we could instead define as a number/line, visually translated into cosmic “ropes”.

The Chaldeans not only observed planetary conjunctions, but also meticulously noted their heliacal risings, that is, when a planet first appears at dawn. It is likely that the astrological houses of late astrology arose from observing the heliacal risings of the planets at dawn.

These undulations took on numerical characteristics, or rather, the numbers took on a wave-like character. In this sense, the science of numbers, for the Chaldeans, was not limited to linking a number or a letter to a being or an object, but carried with it a unique resonance of cosmic origin.

These rituals were called connections between the macrocosm and the microcosm. For the Chaldeans, everything, literally, resonated.

The Chaldeans did not see the sky of the planets in solar “quadrants”,which, as we have already seen, are nothing more than seasonal “air meters”, but in segments. The same ones they used to trace their actual positions (not the ecliptic, therefore). Hence the sacred role of each specific “rope”.

That, like bells, they created a frequency that spread leaving traces.

True. The fourth movement of the sea is caused by the oscillations, also called fire, of the planets through the lunar phases. The fire of the planets that gives shape to the movement is invisible, while the lunar phases that receive it are visible. See Flow and Reflux.

For the ancients, Saturn represented the boundary between the Firmament and the ring of the zodiac or fixed stars, although they suspected there were other planets beyond. An exact explanation for this pattern has never been handed down to us, but we can only conjecture that the reason lies in the sonic aspect of the planets: the most strident and chilling sounds came from Saturn.

It is defined by alchemists as “fire” because it presents analogies with the impalpable and uncontrolled movement of ordinary fire. It is an oscillation of the planets through the lunar phases and which can influence the movement of the “philosophical sea”. The fire of the planets that gives shape to the movement is often overlooked because it is invisible, while the lunar phases that receive it are visible. See also Flow and Reflux.

The planets participate in influencing the moon individually but in a linked way, one after the other.
