Molybdenum

March 30, 2008

Molybdenum is the first remedy from the individual part of the silverseries. After the primordial spirit, body, mind and soul, we now get to the individual spirit (leo).

Ego development, setting yourself apart from the rest of the world. Becoming your own person. Self-expression, being true to your inner nature, acting from the heart. Dawning awareness of self in relation to others.

And together with that, the complement aquarius.

Progressive view of things and rarely follow the beaten path. An insatiable urge for discovering that which isn’t known. Or developing that which is known into something which is new, refreshing and completely different.

Molybdenum is in stage 6, the same as Chromium. Scholten calls it the initiation, the fire walk. Not an exercise but the real thing.

Challenge to do something creative. Initiated in their own creativity. Not open for others, turn inside to unite all their strength for their performance. Wilful and dominating. Not want to burden others with something they see as a personal challenge. Have to do it all by themselves. Prove they can show their ideas. Feeling forced to be creative. Point of no return. Can not go back and do not dare to go on. Pressure themselves, by taking assignments. Force themselves to be creative. Want to remain free, go their own way. Appear very proud. Great fear they will not succeed, afraid to loose their face. Prefer not to show what they are doing, but try out first. While challenged they get triggerd to perform. Work has to speak for itself. Not want to explain it. Hide their aspirations, because they still have to earn the fame. Doubt if they will ever succeed to make something creative, that will be worth something. If they fail, they feel it as a humiliation.

Niobium

March 29, 2008

Niobium is in stage 5 of the silverseries. Cancer is the next sign in the development of the silverseries and is about emotions. In the case of Niobium that are the emotions that have to do with reflection (libra) and vision (sagittarius).

Like with Vanadium, the complementary sign of stage 5, capricorn, plays an important role here.

Ambitious, feels pride in accomplishments. Relationship to authority. Serious, determined, disciplined, focused. Seeks certainties in life. Concerned with the practical relationships to support yourself within society.

Scholten talks about being stuck in preparations because of their own high demands.

Need to make their talents successful. Not realistic and high demands about their artistic possibilities. Being creative has become an assignment. Stuck in preparations. Think things through to much, want to reflect everything. Difficult to receive compliments and admiration. Feeling they have not contributed anything yet. Changeable moods, one time they are cheerful, the next time they are serious and sad. Want to be very good, but miss the perseverance to bring their creations to a good end. Can not bear authority. Easily hurt. Vulnerable, get an armour. Act like they do not care. Protect themselves. Envy those who are successful. Great aspirations and ambition. Want to be the best. Have a reputation and dignity to maintain. Fear of being hurt and fear of acting superior.

So Niobium is about the alternation between ambition (capricorn) and vulnerability (cancer) in the area of art (libra) and inspiration (sagittarius).

Zirconium

March 27, 2008

With Zirconium we arrive at stage 4 of the silverseries, which is between the signs gemini (stage 3, interaction) and cancer (stage 5, emotion).

Stage 4 has the characteristics of both and can be described as doubleminded. The rational decision (gemini) and the actual experience (cancer).

It is the same stage as Titanium in the ironseries. Here with Zirconium it is on the level of the silverseries, which is about reflection (libra),

Harmony, balance, social awareness. Learning how to get along with others, treating others as equals. Art, beauty, harmonious surroundings, distressed by inharmonious interactions. 

and vision (sagittarius).

Being receptive to new points of view, wisdom, enlightenment. Using your talents for the benefit of the greater whole. Freedom loving, idealist, unfetterd by small thinking, inspiration, religion, philosophy, the law.

So Zirconium is the struggle between mind (gemini) and soul (cancer) in the series about art (libra) and inspiration (sagittarius).

In Homeopathy and the elements.

Start with a creative career. Opening their own practise, or the first official exposition. All kind of new ideas and want to carry them out. Want to establish their inspiration. At the beginning of something new and unique and want to get credit for that. Want to declare their ideas, give them a form. Want to break through the old known routine patterns. Want there to be room for creative impulses. Hate to adjust, want to have the freedom to develop their own ideas. Also insecure and hesitating. Can the inspiration be brought into practise. Often fail if they begin with the practise of their inspiration. Become insecure and collaps.
