Above and below are the symbols of Jupiter

duality but also the self fertilisation

aspect which leads to birth . It shows two opposites interwoven so

t

closely together that they almost function

as a single unit in a

harmonious vibration . The cyclic nature of the card, influenced by Jupiter with the detachment of Capricorn shows the expansion of the individual units . The unsupported disks are cosmic forces in action and they create the necessary conditions

for further

unfoldment and show the movement of the elements at interplay . The Fountain of Life that was reflected through the winged sphere of the Ace of Disks, is shown to have stimulated growth and regeneration in the -2 of Disks through the presence of the serpent, whose phallic connotations depict the seed, and through



L83/pg 2

the presence of the disks, encircled by the serpent, depicting the ovum, which will be seen in future cards as the growing rose .

The

encircled

disks also reveal the power of the waters around

the earth and the awakening of a dynamic force, which shows the disks as emblems of resurrection .

The clouds separated from the

lower part of the card, and placed on the left side and centre of the card show that the source of change of the 2 of Disks i s not earth-bound . The serpent is Mercurius and is also known as the "fiery wheel

of

existence ." It is also analogous in meaning

vertical symbol of infinity, and also the alchemic

symbol of Sal Alkali, Sal Gamma, White Vitrol

and Tutia . From

these symbols we see here firstly a pure fluid metal(zinc) which i s itself generated from 'three fluid pr i mal s, crystal i sed within salt' . Secondly the 2 of disks represents the salts of metalsz at their magistery during the whitening stage . Note : This is mineral

implying

the formation of material

fore is the

and vegetable Kingdom where the zinc is made

solid

by imbiding it in Sal Alkali (glass salt), and from which it can be used. Sal Seems is sparkling salt (oetaline salt) . White Vitriol is known as Zinc Sulphate, Vitriol is other wise known as Salts of Metals . Alkali is vitriol from the aims.

L83/pg 3

The

serpent

being

coloured

green

and

gold

is

also

representative of nature who gradually performs her work, where substances regenerate within the bowels of the earth (see above "seed and ovum") . So the green and gold serpent is initially crude matter, in the verdigris, (the green) and then in the gold as the resultant matter .

You will see from the above that the "Lord of Harmonious Change"

i s an apt name for the 2 of Disks, its nature being one

increased realisation and its constructive force towards creation .

The 2 of Disks-is coloured in the Princess Scale . The background

is

the colour of the zodiac sign, Deep Olive Brown, which

is translucent around the snake and disks, forming a figure 8 in space, it becomes truer to the depths of its colour on the outer areas of the card . The disks are the colour of the planet, Violet Blue rayed with Yellow Gold . The stars of the disks are Yellow Gold . The middle circle of the disks, in the centre of the stars are coloured White . The hand and clouds are Brilliant White and the serpent is Yellowish Olive Green (on its underbelly) and Gold (on its back) . Note : The introduction of the Green to this card is another example where additional colours are used to balance up the overall meaning of the cards, though these are few and far between within the G .D . system . If you combine the Yellow Gold rays

with

the

background colour you will obtain Yellowish Olive

Green that has been introduced .

L83/pg 4

The Deep Olive Brown is the necessary solidification required to effect the change and growth of the Yellow Gold and Yellowish Olive Green in the direction

manifestation

of

matter, along with structuring the volatile and expansive nature "of the Violet Blue . So where there's solidity there i s also the subtle upsurgence of growth and movement (Green and Gold), and where there is over expansiveness and stillness in "just being" (Violet Blue), there is compression and construction causing movement, (Deep Olive Brown) .

The astrological association to the 2 of Disks is Jupiter in Capricorn . This shows a period of readjustment, changes in public image and an overall attempt at self improvement . Jupiter is in its fall in Capricorn and those under its influence must learn how to give, free of commitment and free of payment . They have a talent for planning and are analytical in their work, traditional and conservative in their ways . Through managerial abilities there is personal financial gain . They are practical in thought and on the negative side of things they become dogmatic, miserly and morally narrow . However these people are very serious minded individuals and have a talent for turning everything their way . There is an inclination to travel and study philosphy and religion . Jupiter 'in Capricorn represents those who desire positions of power and high social positions . When in these positions

of

power they can become cold individuals with an

austere manner along with an inflated ego .

In this position the 2 of Disks has a dual meaning,

more so

than any other card in the Minor Arcana . On one side it shows generous, positive and intuitive projection of personality with many agreeable qualities . On the other side it shows an indecisive and pliable personality that gives the impression of weakness . The lesson to learn is dependability and integrity .

LESSON 84 3 of Disks "Lord of Material Works" 10-20 degrees Capricorn

(f in

A white winged angelic hand,

W as before, holding a branch of

a rose tree, of which two white rose buds touch and surmount the top most pentacle . The pentacles are arranged in the equilateral

I

triangle .

The rose bush forms the shape of the Papal Cross while the

t

disks form a triangle, which is known as the human triangle or the triangle of consuming fire . Together they form a symbol thus : The Papal cross symbolises concealed mysteries, and this is emphasized by the unopened buds at the top ; the triangle of the supernals enclosing the cross shows that the mysteries not only allude t the spirit, but the presence of salt, sulpher and mercury, and symbolize the law of balance where trinity becomes unity, as the electrical and magnetic forces depicted by this symbol are of equal power . Moreso,

the 3 of Disks shows through

this symbol that conflict between opposites

appears have

ceased for the time being and they are working in harmonic interaction . However, harmony only lasts while this conflicting force does not manifest .

In breaking down

this symbolism we can see the alchemic

L84/pg 2

connotations coming through from the 2 of disks.

For example, an

upward pointing triangle with a straight line drawn from the apex through

the bottom line is another symbol for Sal

The root of such reactions is jealousy . If you are one of these people you'll find yourself semi-isolated from others, but i f you're one of the jealous people think twice before allowing negative feelings to control you : The successful person got that way due to a lot of hard work and sacrifice .
