Heat

Energy Transfer & Initiation

Heat is the net flow of energetic potential between systems or components, measuring the total available transformative force. With respect to humans, Heat is the capacity to initiate and energize social interactions, measuring the raw transformative power being exchanged between people.

Alchemically, Heat is the spiritual fire or vital force that flows between elements and spheres, strongest during Sun and Mars hours - like the difference between noon in midsummer (Solar-Martial heat rising) and midnight in midwinter (Lunar-Saturnian heat resting).

Heat represents the raw transformative power that:

• Flows from high Spirit/Fire concentrations to lower ones

• Is stabilized by Substance, Essence, and Matter

• Is modified by elemental conditions (water, air, earth)

• Functions as the primary driver of change

The value of Heat is represented by the variable h, and is calculated using this formula:

h = (Spirit² + Fire²)/(Substance + Essence + Matter) + water + air + earth

This formula derives from the heat equation fundamental to modern thermodynamics.

High Heat Situations

• Active conversations and debates

• First meetings/introductions

• Teaching or presenting

• Physical activities together

• During Mars or Sun hours (most active)

Low Heat Situations

• Quiet contemplation together

• Long-term established relationships

• Passive observation

• During Saturn or Moon hours (more receptive)
