Doctrine of Signature<br />
• <strong>Aurum</strong> is gold. Astrology places the metal gold under reign of the Sun. Through nuclear reactions the<br />
Sun generates its own energy. The planets are born from the Sun; the Sun is in a way the father/mother<br />
of the family of our solar system. All life on the diverse planets depends on the Sun. Now, knowing this<br />
about the Sun, it is understandable that people who need <strong>Aurum</strong> have a very strong feeling of<br />
responsibility and the idea that they have to solve all their problems by themselves.<br />
• In astrology the Sun symbolizes our core, our spirit, our individuality, our deepest self. Astrology<br />
associates the Sun with these qualities: courage, self-consciousness, self-trust, self-respect, nobleness,<br />
sense of honor, human dignity, the truth in your heart, vitality, radiance, life-force. And indeed, in<br />
balanced <strong>Aurum</strong>-people these characteristics are clearly visible.<br />
• <strong>Aurum</strong>-personalities are correct, honest and responsible people with some sort of natural leadership<br />
(like the central position of the Sun).<br />
Indications<br />
• <strong>Aurum</strong>-personalities can develop complaints because of: (self) criticism, grief, loss of a loverelationship,<br />
death of loved ones, bankruptcy, loss of money, loss of dignity, offence, heavy<br />
emotions like anger, irritability and disappo intment.<br />
• This substance is productive of the best effects in ophthalmias and other scrofulous affections,<br />

inflammation of the mucosal lining, but theinvolvement of the cartilaginous bones of the nose.<br />
