Antimonium is in stage 15 of the silverseries. It is in the same stage as Nitrogen (carbonseries), Phosphorus (siliciumseries) and Arsenicum (ironseries). The astrological sign that belongs to stage 15 is aquarius.

Aquarius in the zodiac follows capricorn which is about rules, borders and staying within the known. Aquarius is about breaking the rules and going beyond the known.
With Antimonium it is about breaking the rules in the area of the silverseries, which have to do with reflection (libra) and vision (sagittarius).
Aquarius is the universal mind, it is no longer about personal matters, everything has to be seen in the light of the whole. But things can go to far out of line and become totally distant from the individual. This is where the complement of leo has to be integrated.
Ego development, setting yourself apart from the rest of the world. Becoming your
own person. Self-
Nitrogen is the remedy in stage 15 of the carbonseries, which is the polarity between destruction and nervousness. The abstract theme of aquarius, the universal mind, is invention.
Freedom and cooperation between individuals. Free-
Here on the personal level of the carbonseries there is the unconventional urge to explore their own personality.
Scholten about Nitrogen:
Expansion of the ego. Assertion. Look confident but there is doubt. Will not show that. Selfconfidence based on support from others. Expansion of selfvalue. Others should appreciate them. Enthousiastic. Carry out ideas. Pushy. Holding on: tension. Can not relax, although great need to. Explosive. Impatience. Holding on. Many fears. Not forgiving.
The complementary sign is Leo, which is the polarity between arrogant and disrespected. And when it is finally balanced, there is a solid confidence on the personal level.
Phosphorus is in stage 15 of the siliciumseries, the same stage as Nitrogen. After the construction of a personal vision, it is now time to extend the interaction to new people and new places.
The astrological sign here is aquarius.
Freedom and cooperation between individuals. Free-
Scholten mentions the many friends, learning and desire to travel.
See someone as a friend even if they only know him shortly. Want to share their friends with other friends. Another aspect of the communication is the use of language. Talking, listening, writing, reading, thinking and learning. Learning especially as an exchange of knowledge, not so much of achieving. Desire travel because of the constant change of people, places and cultures.
Phosphorus is well known for an open mind and sees the whole world as a field of study. This leads to inventive interaction, but it can also go into extremes of nervousness and destruction.
Great susceptibility to external impressions, to light, sound, odors, touch, electrical changes, thunderstorms. Suddenness of symptoms, sudden prostration, shooting pains. Produces a picture of destructive metabolism.
The quality that has to be integrated is the individual spirit. This is leo, the complement of aquarius. Which is about personal expression, and is also the centre of the next homeopathic remedy, Sulphur.
Here at this point is the transition from the primordial into the individual area, which is the centre of the human development.
Arsenicum album is one of the best known remedies in homeopathy. The picture comes from Arsenic trioxide, which is Arsenicum (ironseries, stage 15) and Oxygen (carbonseries, stage 16).
This means an emphasis on the astrological signs virgo (ironseries and complement of stage 16) and pisces (stage 16 and complement of ironseries).
These explain the fastidiousness and tidiness (virgo) and the decline and decay (pisces).
The other signs that play a role with Arsenicum album are taurus (carbonseries), aquarius (stage 15), scorpio (complement carbonseries) and leo (complement stage 15). These explain the possessiveness and many fears (taurus), the extreme restlessness and destructive processes (aquarius), the obsession and suspicion (scorpio) and the selfishness (leo).
The picture of pure Arsenicum is a combination of virgo (ironseries) and aquarius (stage 15).
It is in the same stage as Nitrogen and Phosphorus. Stage 15 is the polarity between destructive and nervousness (aquarius).

And the ironseries is the polarity between critical and indifferent (virgo).
Embodiment of the individual in the world. Problems of adjustment dealing with the world and others. Perfection of the approach to life. Development of mundane skills, ability to change to adapt to life better. Service, helping, perfectionist, always seeking to improve, efficiency, practical, functional, analytical. Interested in crafts and projects, true to self in a simple, unassuming manner. Reacts to defeats and setbacks by pulling back and altering approach. Lacks confidence in the face of opposition, lives up to duties and responsibilities. Interested in maintaining the body as a fit vehicle.
The final purpose is inventive function.
Accomplished by integrating the complementary signs leo (expression) and pisces (compassion).
Thulium is in stage 15 of the lanthanides. In the universal part of each series, this phase is the symbol of the universal mind. It is similar to the astrological sign aquarius.
Freedom and cooperation between individuals. Free-
The final purpose is invention, but first the polarity of destruction and nervousness have to be explored.
The lanthanides as a whole are a fusion of the primordial mind and the individual soul (gemini/scorpio) and with Thulium this goes together with the universal mind (aquarius).
Scholten talks about the total state of consciousness.
Typical of Thulium is the frightening dream of falling endlessly in the dark. This dream expresses the state of Thulium quite completely with the feeling of fright, not being able to do anything, not being able to see, not having any contact, only having consciousness.
What is needed here is to find the individual centre again. It is the complement of aquarius, leo, that has to be integrated. The expression of leo, the individual spirit.
