I very clearly said that I was talking about the *English word*

" intelligence " . I prefer to use the word " wisdom " for what you called

" discrimination " above and painstakingly described in your long post. I

did agree that Jupiter stands for wisdom and judgment. I only said that

Mercury stands for logic and reasoning.

 

Whoever wrote that translation used " intelligence " in a sense in which

I do not understand that word. I am quoting below the meaning of the

English

word " intelligence " from the online Webster dictionary.
