The process of psychic transformation occurs in the formula Solve et Coagula, which is to say, destroy and recreate; dissolve and conjoin; break down so as to come back together.
It must take place sub rosa (under the rose), or in a state of secrecy.
The solve or dissolution is associated with the moon (moisture and coldness), while the coagula is associated with the sun (dryness and heat).
