   Now, I must instruct you on how everything that exists in this lower world comes from this Quatriple Divine Power. Notice the correspondence and close connection that there is between the circle of Saturn and that of the Sun, Mercury and Mars, and note how they repeat together the true figure of the Super Celestial. Also, these four circles are called "major celestial circles"; they are stronger in action and reaction than the three planetary circles that lie beneath them. This is the closeness that these four major planets have with the Super Celestial. It is not surprising then that they influence and govern, through their power, the three lower planets attached to the three angles of the last celestial triangle. It is through these last three planets, which are commonly called Jupiter, Venus and the Moon, that the general terrestrial body is formed, to operate according to its own nature, and that it is maintained in the movement and action that is appropriate to its vegetational nature.
