| The phases: the 12 stages of the process (e.g. starting from the Ascendant: the process of beginning and the approach of the environment) (list of standard phrases for the twelve phases of the process) |
|
| ** A phase in her 30 degrees always spans two (parts of) consecutive signs and an
x-number of functions. |
|
| Examples of the process and more about its structure can be found in ZZZine #3 and subsequent parts of the structure line and in the survey of the structure and in the description of the dynamics of the phases. |

| distance | Aspects or angles |
| in degrees +/- 6° |
significant dynamic relations between functions |
| 0° | conjunction: both tools together form a unity, they are experienced as a unity; when the faster one is approaching: the experience with the slower function is old and thus well-known, tired; when the faster one is departing: the experience with the slower tool is fresh, the faster one is supported in as far as their characters match. |
| 30° | semi-sextile: the relation between the functions connects two differently natured colourings and phases, differently directed, using different forms of activity. She rests on the inherent dynamics between consecutive phases. The co-operation is sought after and recognized or is confident and anticipated. |
| 60° | sextile: the tools are located in two differently natured colourings and phases which are directed similarly, but use different forms of activity. The collaboration is activating and stimulating. |
| 90° | square: the relation between the functions connects two differently natured colourings and phases, differently directed, but using similar forms of activity. The collaboration is very energetic, sometimes outright combative. |
| 120° | triangle: the tools are located in like-natured colourings and phases which are directed similarly, but use different forms of activity. The co-operation is replenishing, self-evident, sometimes she is weak or even self-indulgent and lazy. |
| 150° | inconjunct or quincunx: the relation between the functions connects two differently natured colourings and phases, differently directed, using different forms of activity. The co-operation is uncommon, requires prolonged exertion, insists on examination and analysis. |
| 180° | opposition: both tools are located in two differently natured colourings and phases which are directed similarly and use similar forms of activity. They are initially experienced as in maximum contrast but they complement each other and that demands a serious endeavour to harmonious collaboration. |
| none | unconnected, isolated function: difficult to recognize, hard to control. The tool expresses itself in an extreme manner or is unpredictable because the manageability depends on one or more actual relations with the outer context. |

JustificationAll potentialities of a process collaborate in an individual manner. That means that a capacity can seem to be absent in a certain context and, in other situations, express itself more clearly. Our world is subject to transformation, she develops continually. In the interpretation
of the concepts and symbols with which we want to describe her we shall have to take into
account the general tendency of the specific context. |
