In illustration, number 5, we see the first Conjunction, the Coitus or inner union of the male and the female forces of the soul. They merge together in sexual intercourse, the man uppermost. In this first cycle of transformation, the male forces are spiritually active working upon the passive female forces, however, as we shall see later, the opposite will be the case in the second transformation. This point was not noticed by Jung in his commentary.
