ABSTRACT

[From occult definition of] three: … childbirth; b. often seen as a conscious-spiritual value, lacking the One of the unconscious to make the Whole of Four: the triangle can be seen as the half of the diagonal square: together they are at once polarity (2 triangles in opposition) and the conjunction of Wholeness (cf. Chinese Yang-Yin); three thus represents masculinity (or the animus in the female), whereas Four is femininity (or the anima in the male) with subconsciousness included.
