Firstly, I was under the impression that the keywords describe the whole "essence" of the planet. If that is the case, then yes, EVERYTHING should be described by the keywords. But the way you expressed your opinion seems to imply that these keywords only describe a substantial part of the essence of a planet, as seen from the eyes of Schmidt. In that case, then perhaps, there are other aspects of Mercury that are not explained by these keywords.
So in your opinion, are there things that Mercury does that are not described by these principles?
About truth. Well, I wasn't thinking about philosophy and those things that are highly dependent on human opinions. I was thinking about...things that are more practical and sensory in nature. Things like counting or arithmetics, algebra, things like "when was World War I", "is the murder weapon, and why", "the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, true or false", "is this procedure correct or not?"
Perhaps a better word would be the learning of facts and conventions. Are these things not the domain of Mercury?
This goes back to your implication that the keywords may not describe everything that Mercury does.
I think Socrates wasn't saying that there is no such thing as truth, just opinions. I think he was saying that, the more he learns, the more he realises that there is so much that he did not learn before. Of course, since he's dead, I do not want to put words in his mouth.
It is interesting that you assumed that when I said "significations of Jupiter", I was talking about "growth and expansion". Actually, that was not my understanding of Jupiter. To me, Jupiter is indeed about persons in command, those who are moderate in nature. Additionally, Jupiter signifies money and property.
However, your elaboration makes the essence of Jupiter clear to me now, thanks!
Often, one doesn't simply get rich by working in a high paying job. If one makes a lot of money, but spents equally as much of it that he spends, he would not have much in terms of long-term savings. Moderate spending is what makes a person rich. There is a similar logic with property. Wise management and/or investment of property allows one to keep one's property for a very long time.
I'll admit, I was being a bit sneaky with my question about the malefics. I deliberately avoid elaborating on my understanding, in order to prevent confirmation bias on my part. It turns out that we have a similar understanding of the difference. Thanks to you, my understanding has become clearer.
So Mars is about quick and sudden, forceful destruction, whereas Saturn is about slow and gradual deterioration. If we speak in game terms, Mars is more offensive, while Saturn is more defensive.
In football for example, of the many strategies, there are two opposing ones. The first strategy is a team that is oriented around scoring as many goals as possible, and hopefully more than the opponent. The second strategy is where the team tries to score the first goal, and then maintain its defences so that the opponent cannot score.
The first strategy is more like Mars, the second one is more like Saturn.
