- sun; gold
Meaning
Lemma.
Sol may designate the heavenly sun, a central earthly sun or gold, with additional restrictions when called our or living. In the planetary-metallic ordering it occupies the middle of paired correspondences and mixes with all without improvement by lower bodies. Its rays and its metallic seed have related but not identical roles, so the referent must be checked at each occurrence.
