The intricate interplay between celestial bodies and their symbolic significance to the human condition is explored with great depth. The sun, as articulated, epitomizes the essence of the soul, representing the light that resides within our corporeal forms. This light, or soul, is posited as the guiding force of existence, while the physical body is presented merely as a vessel, a transient vessel enabling the soul to traverse the earthly realm. The discussion further delves into the dichotomy of the sun and moon, where the sun symbolizes the soul and the moon embodies the physical body. This duality is described as a quintessential Yin Yang relationship, suggesting a balance between the spiritual and the material, where one cannot exist without the other, thus reinforcing the notion that the soul's journey is inextricably linked to the bodily experience. As the conversation unfolds, it transitions to the representation of various planets as metaphors for human emotions and experiences, with Mercury embodying the intellect and communication, and Venus representing love and desire, creating a rich tapestry that connects human experience with cosmic elements.

Takeaways:

  1. The sun symbolizes the essence of the soul, illuminating our very existence.
  2. The soul, often characterized as light, resides within the corporeal form of the body.
  3. The moon represents the physical body, while the soul requires this vessel for earthly existence.
  4. Saturn, regarded as the harbinger of winter, stands in stark contrast to the sun's life-giving properties.

Transcripts

Speaker A:

The sun came to signify the perception of the soul.

Speaker A:

The soul is the light inside your body.

Speaker A:

When you leave it, you will return back to light.

Speaker A:

The body is just a vessel.

Speaker A:

Which brings me to the moon, which signifies the physical body.

Speaker A:

Without a body, the soul cannot roam the earthly plane.

Speaker A:

Another Yin Yang between the sun and Moon.

Speaker A:

The merger of soul and body.

Speaker A:

Before I move off the sun and Moon, I want to mention one last thing.

Speaker A:

Yin Yang.

Speaker A:

One last Yin Yang.

Speaker A:

Father and mother.

Speaker A:

Sun is father, mud, Moon is mother.

Speaker A:

Now, Hermes, Mercury is the messenger of God and the bestower of critical thinking.

Speaker A:

It signifies our thoughts and communication.

Speaker A:

Aphrodite.

Speaker A:

Venus signifies love and desire.

Speaker A:

But airs.

Speaker A:

Mars signifies war and violence, hence the name Fiery one.

Speaker A:

And the Yang.

Speaker A:

To Venus, you know love and desire.

Speaker A:

The opposite of love and desire would be war and violence.

Speaker A:

Zeus.

Speaker A:

Jupiter is begetting of good things, hence its name, the radiant one.

Speaker A:

Jupiter is big and bright, like it's bestowing gifts.

Speaker A:

And lastly we have Kronos Saturn.

Speaker A:

I listed this one last because it's the last one of the visible planets.

Speaker A:

Bring back the yin and yang.

Speaker A:

If Saturn was the last of the visible planets and the sun was the big, bright and the giver of life, Saturn, the last has to be the opposite of that.

Speaker A:

If the sun gives life, what must Saturn, I mean Satan, I mean Saturn do take life?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Saturn was not seen as a positive planet.

Speaker A:

How do you come from the underworld?

Speaker A:

Through the gates of Hades, which would probably.

Speaker A:

Which was seen as the second house because the fourth house is.

Speaker A:

Was looked at as being subterraneous under the underworld.

Speaker A:

So the second house is the house right before the sun comes up over the horizon.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

All right.

Speaker A:

And to get to the upper world, we got to come through the gates of Hades.

Speaker B:

Second house.

Speaker A:

Second house.

Speaker B:

Who do you think?

Speaker B:

Which is also probably why the 8th house is considered death and rebirth.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

This is a polar opposite.

Speaker A:

So how.

Speaker A:

Who do you think is standing at that gate?

Speaker B:

Kronos.

Speaker A:

Saturn, the sun.

Speaker A:

If the sun rules the summer, longer days, shorter nights.

Speaker A:

But Saturn is the ruler of winter.

Speaker A:

Shorter days, longer nights.

Speaker A:

Sun rules the day, but Saturn rules the night.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker A:

So Kronos, Saturn is standing at the gates of Hades.

Speaker B:

So there's a yin and a yang there as well.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Just a little side note.

Speaker A:

You've heard the saying, I hope you burn in hell.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker A:

You heard that?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Well, actually that's a flawed concept because.

Speaker B:

You won't burn in hell, you'll freeze to death.

Speaker A:

Man, you smart.

Speaker A:

A more accurate statement would be I hope you freeze in hell.

Speaker A:

Hell is cold, not hot.

Speaker A:

Things grow in the sun and in the summer, but fall off and die in the winter.

Speaker A:

Warmth, growth, life, cold, no growth, death.

Speaker A:

Would you prefer warmth or cold?
