Soul and Body Monads
Soul and Body Monads
Monads
The top row consists of the planets in fall, grouped by quadrant from first to fourth (reading left to right), which constitutes the Body monad. (The Body monad begins with Saturn in Aries, which is written slightly below the rest of the planets in this line. It’s unclear why there is also a Jupiter glyph in this row since the only Jupiter in the first quadrant is Jupiter in Gemini, which is in detriment.)
The next row consists of the planets in detriment (Soul), grouped by quadrant from first to fourth (reading left to right), which constitutes the Soul monad.
The next row repeats the planets of the Body monad.
Below this is a twelvefold circle with two rings. The outer ring depicts the planets of the Soul monad, and the inner ring depicts the planets of the Body monad.
