In the LA Master Class Mercury is given power of making sounds, Saturn power of excretion, Jupiter power of generation and Venus manual skill
In Graha Sutras Me is excretion, Saturn is manual skill, Jupiter is Sound, Venus is generation. (p113)
What accounts for this difference? Is one definitive or are they provisional?
There are two alignments of the elements depending on the way the element is being used in creation. I explained that all in the Understanding the 5 elements vidoes which will help all this make sense.
Ok, I had a feeling it was provisional but I couldn't remember the information you are citing in the Understanding the 5 elements video, thanks for pointing out the way!
The signs are manifest things, so there is only 4 elements and these things take up space.
