The Four Degrees of Heat ”The Sun travels in a year around Through the entire Zodiac, And renews with its light All herbs, trees, and flowers. Therefore, one must learn the four degrees Of our work. Which will then be a guideline for you In our accepted work. It is Aries, Cancer, and Libra And then Capricorn, as I say: Choose freely among these Who is the first or second." — Daniel Stoltzius von Stoltzenbergs Stammbuch, c. 1622-1628
