The Triads of the Planetary Natures
Dec. 28th, 2023 02:22 pmThree characteristics of the SUN:
He is Masculine, Diurnal, and like unto Fire, hot and dry.
Three characteristics of the MOON:
She is Feminine, Nocturnal, and like unto Water, cold and moist.
Three characteristics of MERCURY:
He is Masculine or Feminine, depending on, in order of preference,
(a) the gender of a planet with whom he is in conjunction by three degrees,
(b) the gender of a planet with whom he is in aspect by three degrees,
(c) or the gender of his dispositor.
He is Diurnal if he rises before the Sun, and Nocturnal if he rises after the Sun.
He is like unto Earth, cold and dry.
Three characteristics of VENUS:
She is Feminine, Nocturnal, and like unto Water, cold and moist.
Three characteristics of MARS:
He is Masculine, Nocturnal, and like unto Fire, hot and dry.
Three characteristics of JUPITER:
He is Masculine, Diurnal, and like unto Air, hot and moist.
Three characteristics of SATURN:
He is Masculine, Diurnal, and like unto Earth, cold and dry.

From there, I plan to list
Three Greater Medicinal Plants of the Nature of the Sun
Three Lesser Medicinal Plants of the Nature of the Sun
And so on, following that pattern for the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.
For each plant so listed, I will give its three main uses.
For instance:
Three Medicinal Uses for Cannabis species pluralis:
Against pain, against anxiety, against insomnia.
I just made a quart of Tinctura Cannabium yesterday evening. Someone asked me what it was used for as a medicine, and I said I knew only of three things. You might see that these are all Saturnian type things. This plant dulls and deadens the three great principles of manifestation: substance, motion, and consciousness. Or we might say, in this context: nerves, involuntary revolutions of the mind, and self-awareness.
I am also going to aggregate the rules for astrological diagnostics, how to judge from a horary whether to treat by sympathy, antipathy, or both, and things like that.
So far as I can tell, no one has aggregated aphorisms of natural philosophy. In my view, that should begin with planets and plants.
This should also be done for metals, minerals, and stones.
