CONJUNCTION
There are seven stages of transformation in the alchemical process which an initiate must undergo to achieve spiritual perfection. The forth one of these stages is Conjunction:
Chemically, it is the recombining of the saved elements from Separation into a new substance. Psychologically, it is empowerment of our true selves, the union of both the masculine and feminine sides of our personalities into a new belief system or an intuitive state of consciousness. The alchemists referred to it as the Lesser Stone, and after it is achieved, the adept is able to clearly discern what needs to be done to achieve lasting enlightenment, which is union with the Overself. Often, synchronicities begin to occur that confirm the alchemist is on the right track.
