How to use Planetary Forces in your LifeThe sun and moon can be placed internally. In the five element creative cycle water will
give birth to wood, wood to fire, fire to earth, earth to metal. It is a cycle of expansion and
contraction in five stages (see Fusion 1 book). In the Taoist spiritual practice this interac-
tion is compared with cooking. Water controls fire. If the sexual energy potential dries up,
the fire has no more control. At the same time there is a controlling cycle which balances
the five elements. Water controls fire. So kidney/sex energy has a cooling balancing effect
on heart and heart governor. On the other hand, if the fire is too weak, the body often gets
very cold and the spine and hip area can become very stiff.
The water-fire balance is related to the Chi/Jing/Shen interaction and is a fundamental
step in the Taoist Immortal Practice, Kan and Li.
The sun/moon meditation and to a lesser degree Mars/Mercury meditation can help
people who have problems balancing their life according to the future and past. Today
many people are stuck in past experiences. These experiences have an emotional charge
and are connected with pain which may be constantly denied or at the most intellectually
controlled. For these people, the sun connection will bring relief, more vision of the future
and another view of their past. Some are only striving for future experiences, running
away from themselves constantly. The moon/mercury meditations will bring them closer to
where they come from and to the forces and influences which have shaped their emo-
tional body.
