Taxonomy
In the Apg3 classification the Haloragaceae are part of the Saxifragales. In the past it had been placed in its own Order.
I have placed it as a separate Order under the presumption it is the Hydrogen series quality of the Malvidae. This is because they are aquatics mostly.
Introduction
There is a kind of conflict between a desire to be special and important in society on the one hand and lacking the concentration and will power to effect that desire. They feel as if in limbo, not being able to act in the world. They can have fantastic ideas but do not have the power to bring those creations into the world.
Mind
Confusion
Lack of direction, disorientation in time and space.
Confusion; alienation; reality and mask; confusion identity; recognising or not.
Lack of will, power, focus.
Dreams: water, boats, boating, drifting, steering difficulty.
Immigrants, people without roots.
Psychosis.

Plant theory
I n the first version of the Plant theory Haloragaceae was placed in its own Order and Subclass. The presumption was Haloragaceae is the Hydrogen series quality of the Malvidae. This is because many are aquatics.
In the updated version of the Plant theory the aquatic Myriophyllum is split of from Haloragaceae and placed in its own family Myriophyllaceae. The rest of the family is returned to Saxifragales. The reason for doing so is that Myriophyllum is a real aquatic. That fits with the Hydrogen series in a similar way as Ceratophyllum. The rest of the family is very different, being normal herbs and shrubs.
