Antimonium
April 26, 2008
Antimonium is in stage 15 of the silverseries. It is in the same stage as Nitrogen (carbonseries), Phosphorus (siliciumseries) and Arsenicum (ironseries). The astrological sign that belongs to stage 15 is aquarius.
Freedom and cooperation between individuals. Free-thinking, unorthodox, far-sighted, idealistic, utopian. Impersonal thinking, detached from emotional considerations. Interested in focusing the mind to formulate new and unusual ways of dealing with people, groups society and the world. 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.
Aquarius in the zodiac follows capricorn which is about rules, borders and staying within the known. Aquarius is about breaking the rules and going beyond the known.
With Antimonium it is about breaking the rules in the area of the silverseries, which has to do with reflection (libra) and vision (sagittarius).
Aquarius is the universal mind, it is no longer about personal matters, everything has to be seen in the light of the whole. But things can go to far out of line and become totally distant from the individual. This is where the complement leo has to be integrated.
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. Ego, self-centred, arrogant. Artistic or creative expression. Needs to be a center of attention, likes to be noticed and appreciated, ego-strokes. Personal integrity, true to self, honorable, trustworthy, self-assured, confident.

Stannum
April 16, 2008
Stannum is in stage 14 of the silverseries. It is the same stage as Carbon, Silicium and Germanium and is similar to capricorn.
Bring about the perfect society. Making practical, efficient connections with others on the physical plane. Ambitious, feels pride in accomplishments. Reality, hard facts. Relationship to authority. Serious, determined, disciplined, focused. Fathering, disciplining love. Authority figures. Seeks certainties in life. Want things in concrete. Concerned with the practical relationships to support yourself within society. Not interested in blue sky ideas, needs to bring theory into concrete reality. Knowing the rules and playing the game.
Capricorn has the polarity between formal and depressed with the purpose of construction. In the silverseries it is a construction that has to do with reflection and vision.
Scholten calls them civil and polite, which can be translated as formal (capricorn) reflecting (libra) a vision (sagittarius).
Do not have any real authority anymore. Just marginal designs. Lost glory, grandeur and fame. Loss of honour, fortune and possessions. Formal in their visions and philosophies. Worn out. See something in every ideology. Hate dogmatic ideas, like to discuss their own vision with others. Show formal in public. Not take responsibility. Not dare to take a stand out of fear to get rejected. Try to spare everyone. Think along with others. Benevolent, civil and polite. Courteous, can go along with the ideaworld of the other. Good at distracting from problems. So powerless that they keep agreeing. Tired of talking, it is not their own expression. Art is only an empty shell, a form without meaning. Feel insulted inside, but act as if they do not care and stay polite.
The complement is cancer, so here the emotions have to be integrated.

Indium
April 14, 2008
The first remedy from the universal part of the silverseries is Indium. Indium is in stage 13 which is the same stage as Boron (carbonseries), Aluminium (siliciumseries) and Gallium (ironseries). The astrological sign here is sagittarius, the universal spirit.
Consciousness expansion. Freedom loving, idealist, unfettered by small thinking, inspiration, religion, philosophy, the law. Awareness of connections to the rest of the world, can be distant from others. Afraid to give up freedom, reluctant to be tied down. Enthusiastic, generous, loves abstract, theoretical ideas, sees the big picture, ignores the details. In love with an ideal, strong opinion.
The emphasis on sagittarius is very strong here, as it is also part of the whole silverseries. Here it becomes more and more clear that sagittarius can not reach its full potential. The silverseries is similar to libra and sagittarius, but they do not follow each other in the zodiac.
The sign in between is scorpio, and although it has played its part in the stages (stage 12), it is not part yet of the human development as a whole. That will not happen until going into the goldseries, where stage 3 has the hidden development of the lanthanides.
So the universal part of the silverseries is about projecting (libra) a vision (sagittarius) on the rest of the world, without the inner development of the individual. And with Indium the vision will be very present, as it is the intersection of sagittarius in series as well as in stage.
In Homeopathy and the elements it says dogmatic, withdraw on ideas.
Perfect conservators, people who are at their place in museums. Want others to also see that it has been done much better in the old days. Collect antique. Have seen it all, do not need to hear something new. Have their mind made up, are dogmatic and know it all better. New ideas are not for them. Stay behind with the new developments. Disbelief in possibilities of development. Hold on to the old ways. Can not wonder anymore, because everything is well known already. Sometimes an old piece emerges that can make them enthusiastic, but mostly they live with the feeling they all seen it before. Withdraw in their ivory tower. Others do not understand it, so why would they want to try to convince them, who is interested must come to them. Watch with disbelief how new talents get the attention of the public.
And although the vision will not be a result of an inner battle yet, it does need its complement gemini to come to an interaction with other visions.
