Min's Planetary Awareness Technique Chapter 10
Daniel Min, Ph.D.
CHAPTER 10
ABOUT 9.54 astronomical units from the Sun, the seventh
heaven with his great rings is nearly twice as far from
the Sun as Jupiter is, or nearly ten times the distance
as Earth is. Like Jupiter, Saturn stands out clearly on
clear nights & good seeing conditions, and particularly
when Saturn is at inferior conjunction or opposition to
the Sun. Saturn's mass is less than one-third Jupiter's,
so has a lot lower gravitational influence with the Sun.
Saturn's orbit is inclined to Earth's ecliptic by about
two and a half degrees, and is only slightly more eccen-
tric than Jupiter's orbit at 0.054 & 0.048 respectively.
As the least dense planet in our solar system, combined
with Saturn's speedy rotation of less than eleven hours
per 360-degree day, Saturn is the most oblate sphere of
all albeit Jupiter rotates a little faster at under ten
hours per Jovian day. Saturn is the golden planet, with
his soft atmospheric bands having golden-yellowish hues
(see Min's Compleat Tarot Manual for more comprehensive
details on the planets & signs, such as Saturn's rings).
Saturn is made out of the ascending Mixolydian sidereal
mode beginning on the pitchkey of 'G' and ending on 'F'
whose is the sidereal key of Jupiter--hence the classic
mythology that Jupiter defeated Saturn: by limiting his
otherwise major modality on the flattened seventh. Play
Saturn's mode beginning on the G and ascending on white
keys only. Notice the distinctively limiting value that
Jupiter's 'F' exerts over the Mixolydian mode. Hear it?
Saturn's ascending mode is W-W-H-W-W-H, and H-W-W-H-W-W
descending is Hypophrygian/Locrian. The best rule to re-
member is that ascending steps begin on the tonic funda-
ment tone of that modality, while descending steps must
return to that same tonic key, playing only seven tones
per scale. Eight-tone scales begin and end on the tonic
key either an octave above or else an octave below that
fundamental tone, different octave, but repeating tones.
Saturn's archetype is Judgment of the major arcana, who
is Kronos in the Greek, hence the Scythe or father time.
The double-ensigns of Saturn are Capricorn and Aquarius,
the archetypal World and Temperance of the major arcana,
respectively. Saturn is at the center of the "pillar of
severity" in the tree of life. The superior, descending,
benefic letter of Saturn returning is pronounced as the
softened "aK" sound, symbolized with the Caper (he-goat)
ergo the ensign Capricorn, i.e. Saturn's benefic aspect
returning "born-again" by radial velocity. The harsh by
letters of Saturn is the "Ka" sound, Kappa in the Greek.
Kut, Kill, Kap, Karve, Kadosh, Kaiser, Kal, Karat, Kami-
kaze, Karate, Karma, Kasbah, etc. The Saturnine thinker
is contemplative, introspective, reflective, the limits
of time, the modal muse of hymnody, praise, worship, or
anything related to the sabbath, restful, tranquil, and
constrained by limits, serene, disciplined, bringing an
end to circumstances, extreme changes & new experiences,
climbing the "ladder" of Uranus to reach new beginnings
(see next chapter). The harsh, malefic aspect of Saturn
limits these changes, consciousness of regret, guilt or
nostalgia, wistfulness of a lonely soul trapped in time.
Saturnine souls tend to be dissatisfied or disappointed,
continually seeking to change things for the better, as
can be a very powerful force for good, but can distract
Saturn's attention too often--a jack of all trades, but
master of none. Capricorn is adjoined to Aquarius, thus
the soft/harsh sound of 'K' are most nearly the same of
the double-lettered planets. The ending of "aK" is very
abrupt, sudden, and with a hard cutting edge, as spoken.
Hence, replacing the "C" and "Q" with the "K", then the
names "Kapricorn" and "aKuarius" reveal themselves, but
their order seems strangely reversed. That is, until we
remember that Saturn's inferior sign is also Uranus' su-
perior sign, and that the sound of "Ka"/"aK" are nearly
equal when spoken. Also notice how the name "Pisces" be-
gins with the "Pi" of Jupiter-inferior/Neptune-superior,
and Taurus begins with Venus' "Tau". Other signs reveal
their sound imbedded within the name, like "Ares" which
is pronounced "ah-rays", emphasizing the "Re" sound for
Mars-inferior, and Skorpios with its "oR" sound of Mars-
superior and Pluto-inferior (see chapter 13). Libra, of
course, is named for the balance and the "book of life",
which weighs our works of good and of evil since caeles-
tial Libra with Arcturus & Spica close to the beginning
is the archetype of the ankh, which is the symbol of Ve-
nus--the fulcrum at the center of the tree of life, and
who holds both dishes of the balance in Taurus & Pisces
of the terrestrial courtyards more ruled by the planets
Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, & Saturn last
of all, i.e. all of the planets who have double-ensigns
and so are more effective in adjudicating the horoscope.
One can pronounce the phonic sound of the chart, by pro-
nouncing the alphabetical letters of each ruling planet
in order. For instance, this is a natal horoscope which
includes the Saturn souljourn, and with five ruling pla-
nets, which are Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Node & Fortune:

Virgo is the sign of Mercury-superior, the soft/benefic
aspect of Beta and is pronounced "eb". Next is the sign
of Venus-superior, Libra, pronounced "out". Thus far we
have "eb-out". Next is Jupiter in Sagittarius, superior,
thus is pronounced "ip". So this chart is basically pro-
nounced "eb-out-ip". Strange, yes. But is this accurate?
Absolutely Yes. Furthermore, each planetary modality is
being transposed into a specific chromatic key, and our
simple pronunciation of each chart becomes very musical.
Virgo is always the "F" tone, such that the mode of any
planet therein is being transposed into that key. Hence
Mercury, whose mode is Locrian ascending and Mixolydian
descending, begins on the "E" then descends seven steps
to the tonic "F". At least, each of the three syllables
of this chart's "eb-out-ip" should be pronounced in key,
hence the triad "F-Gb-Ab". I've already covered details
on this subject of astrological music in previous works,
finished works, therefore I continue to write new books.
Unfinished works, limited activity, constraints of time.
Saturn's exaltation is for the superior aspect of Venus,
Libra, which is cardinal west--as the Titans count time
in the first house of evening, as called the west-above.
Saturn's common association with the "devil" is because
of Mars' exaltation in the tenth house, that of the "he-
goat" Capricorn, whose terrestrial court is the King of
Diamonds, meaning creative quality of the earth-element.
Recall from chapter 7 Cayce's description of Armageddon,
that "it will be as a thousand years, with the fighting
in the air, and - as has been - between those returning
to and those leaving the earth"-Cayce\readings\5748-006.
In essence, every soul tends to grow quickly accustomed
to its lifestyle, whether incarnated upon the Earth, or
sojourning about in the heavens above Earth, or waiting
for the judgment between heaven and earth, either below
the earth. Remember that the judicial astrologer counts
the beginning of life at the moment of death, beginning
with soul's departure for the heavens. The exception to
this is called heaven-in-practice, heaven-on-earth, the
tenth heaven where humans don't all die but are changed
in the proverbial twinkling of an eye, as in one moment.
The continual struggle between souls wanting to stay in
heaven verses souls wanting to stay on earth, and souls
wanting to leave heaven and return to earth against the
souls who want to leave earth and return to heaven, the
the battle for evermore is fought on the aetheric field,
where begins evening & morning, the reasons of activity.
Consider this profound juxtaposition, since souls don't
want to leave their familiar habitat, except if they're
roasting in Hades, in which case they're dying to leave.
Also, there are souls who've had quite enough of mortal
trials and tribulations, and so they're dying to return
to the relative bliss of heaven. The divine conflict is
best described as death to oneself, destruction of self.
Why, you might ask? Because Death, the Scorpion of Mars-
superior, is ante-Aries, literally "before the self" of
the inferior aspect of Mars receding by radial velocity.
That's why alpha Scorpio was dubbed Antares, ante-Aries.
The astrological distribution of the twelve tribes, one
tribe for each sign, makes one sign per tribesman, with
each tribe having a thousand tribesmen in each sign. So
makes a total of 12,000 tribesmen per tribe and 144,000
tribesmen for all twelve tribes combined. Consider this
next chart, showing the number of days and named cycles
in the ancient Mayan calendar as still holds true today:
Cycle Composition Days
kin 1 kin . . . . . . . . . . .1
uinal 20 kin . . . . . . . . . . 20
tun 18 uinal . . . . . . . . .360
katun 20 tun . . . . . . . . . 7200
baktun 20 katun . . . . . . .144,000
pictun 20 baktun. . . . . .2,880,000
calabtun 20 piktun. . . . . 57,600,000
kinchiltun 20 calabtun. . .1,152,000,000
alautun 20 kinchiltun. 23,040,000,000
Note the last number of 23 billion days, or just beyond
63,081,000 light years. The Mayan astronomers seemed to
be implying that man has walked earth for at least that
long. Also note the commensurate value of one baktun is
exactly 144,000 solar days & that's no mere coincidence.
Each day is named for the Gods, rising in sidereal 5ths
from the Sun through Saturn. Hence each day is for each
soul/god-incarnate, literally, a descendant of the Gods.
144,000 days (dies) is to 144,000 gods (deis)-incarnate.
Recall from chapter 1, that "ephemeris" means "day-book
of the Gods". There are the three repeat modes, Aeolian,
Locrian and Ionian for Ouranos, Poseidon & Pluton-Hades,
respectively, with 8, 9 & 10 tones each in their scales.
There have been numerous attempts over the centuries to
deduce the corresponding zodiac sign for each tribe and
their guardian angels, birthstones and astrological sym-
bology thereof. Generally, the color of the birthstones
roughly correspond to the zodiacal rainbow, e.g. Taurus
is red-orange, Virgo is green, Capricorn is indigo, and
Pisces is violet or magenta. Libra's green-blue or cyan,
Leo's yellow & Cancer is orange-yellow, Scorpio is blue,
Sagittarius is blue-indigo, Aquarius indigo-violet, and
Gemini is orange. Aries is, of course, red. The planets
rule the ensigns that they make to the Earth, and exalt
in their corresponding directions. Sun in Aries, Saturn
in Libra, Mars in Capricorn, and Jupiter in Cancer. The
compass directions being east, west, south & north, res-
pectively. Hence, the Sun might be associated with ruby,
the color of Aries, or onyx the color of Leo. Since the
planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn make two
signs apiece in the zodiac by their superior & inferior
aspects to the Earth relative to the Sun, it makes more
sense that the house of exaltation for each planet goes
with that color of birthstone, since that is a planet's
most logical favorite color. The Sun prefers red, blood-
stone or ruby, or perhaps any other reddish, or pinkish
stone like rhodochrosite would do just as well. You see,
it's the planet of ones sojourn which prefers the color
of its exaltation. E.g., the Mars sojourner prefers the
color of itself, red, and its color of exaltation which
is indigo, or any deep-blue stone, such as the sapphire.
Venus clearly prefers amethyst the color of Pisces. The
Moon prefers Taurus, with its reddish-orange birthstone,
such as a fiery opal. The planet with its exaltation is
the logical choice for that birthstone. Remember, souls
are incarnated from the planets, not from the arbitrary
signs on the caelestial sphere. Next time you meet with
someone who claims to be a "Sagittarius" or "Capricorn",
ask them about their ascending planet, that heaven from
which their soul took its flight on their date of birth.
You'll find no one has a clue what you're talking about,
since they were misled into believing "tropic-illogical"
charlatans who can only pretend to be astrologers since
they never learned about biblical or judicial astrology.
As for the twelve tribes [Gen 49:1-28, ibid], generally
zodiacal descriptions are accorded most of Jacob's sons,
as the sons & daughters of Israel. The traditional sign
for each of the twelve houses are fairly obvious, or so
it seems. First, the order of birth is recorded, as are
the names for each of the four directions called "camps"
which is composed of three tribes each. To the east, to
the rising Sun, is Aries with the exaltation of the Sun.
Remember, Leo is the zodiacal force that the Sun exerts
on the Earth. Strength is the Sun's, not some arbitrary
sign or group of stars up in the sky, but the Sun. See?
The lion is the standard of Judah ergo Judah is the Sun,
because the exaltation of the Sun is rising in the east.
To the south is the camp of Reuben, with the exaltation
of Mars in Capricorn. In the center is Pluto-superior &
Mother Earth with the tabernacle in the camp of Levites.
To the west is Libra and the exaltation of Saturn, camp
of Ephraim. To the north is Cancer, with the exaltation
of Jupiter, which is the camp of Dan. The four elements
are each composed of their elemental triplicities, with
Creator, Sustainer, Destroyer, the King, Queen & Knight,
Cardinal, Fixed & Mutable, respectively. Again, I refer
to my "Compleat Tarot Manual", chapter 9 & these charts:
THE THREE MOTHERS
1 / 1 Aleph / Alpha /A /oxhead
13 /12 Mem / Mu /M /water
21 /18 Shin / Sigma /S /tooth
Shin/Sigma-FIRE
(suit of wands)
Sagittarius = purified 9
Leo = balance 5
Aries = sinful 1
EARTH
(suit of pentacles)
Virgo = purified 6
Capricorn = balance 10
Taurus = sinful 2
Aleph/Alpha-AIR
(suit of swords)
Libra = purified 7
Aquarius = balance 11
Gemini = sinful 3
Mem/Mu-WATER
(suit of cups)
Scorpio = purified 8
Pisces = balance 12
Cancer = sinful 4
Notably, the ranking of these triplicities also applies
through the zodiac in standard numerical order, as with
Aries, the King of Fire, Taurus, the Queen of Earth and
Gemini, the Knight of Air, etc. These relationships are
accentuated in the decanates and pentades, specifically
by the elemental triplicities, not the qualitative quad-
ruplicities. This has long been a sticking point to the
orthodox theologians, since they've never studied bibli-
cal astrology, nor have they practiced it. When we look
at the list in the context of tribal "mothers", we then
see the correlation with the kaballah and classic Greco-
Roman mythology. The Olympians are the children of Rhea
& Kronos. The Hebrew word ephraim literally means "very
fruitful", and Kronus & Rhea were indeed that. When you
consider that Rhea's the feminine nature of father time,
both "sister" and "wife" of Saturn and his attributions,
you begin to understand the genealogical theocracy that
is portrayed in classical mythology. Judah, the Sun, is
Apollon-Re, son of Zeus & Leto. His twin sister Artemis,
the Moon, is the only other planet that appears to be a-
bout the same size as viewed from Earth, and is further-
more the only other planet that is orbiting relative to
Earth sidereally, hence, the myth that they are "twins".
It's the uniqueness of the Sun & Moon to Earth which is
cause for them ruling only one zodiac sign apiece, even
though there are seven double letters in the astrologic
alphabet. Five of the seven doubles are Mercury & Venus,
Mars, Jupiter & Saturn, each of which form two zodiacal
aspects, the hard and the soft, which again are B, T, R,
P & K, leaving D and G for Cancer and Leo, respectively.
This is fundamental to understanding the genesis of the
twelve tribes, the twelve chromatic aspects of the Gods
to the Earth, where the Sun & Moon are awarded only one
sign each since both planets orbit the Earth sidereally,
so that their double-letters, D & G, are made by phases
of the Moon to Earth, and night and day made by the Sun
to the rotating Earth--neither of which are significant
vectors in radial velocity, hence they get but one sign
apiece. So we see, the ten planets always make 12 signs,
and these signs are numbered 1 through 12 in the zodiac
beginning with Aries and ending on Pisces, respectively.
At this point, let's review the basic genealogy of Gods
in the Greco-Roman pantheion, using classic Greek names:

In the war of ten sidereal years, the chromatic ensigns
form twelve directional titans to twelve transliterated
signs of the horoscope, and is the battle of Armageddon
between souls cast down to Earth and souls departing to
the heavens above. Here they are, in alphabetical order:
Titans Olympians
------ ---------
Atlas Aphrodite
Koeus Apollon
Kronus Ares
Epimetheus Artemis
Hyperion Athena
Iapetus Hades
Metis Hephaestus
Oceanus Hera
Phoebe Hermes
Prometheus Hestia
Rhea Poseidon
Tethys Zeus
Clearly, ten of these twelve signs correspond to double-
lettered planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn,
while the remaining two of them match with the Moon and
Sun as Cancer & Leo. The vast regions are the Titans in
their sidereal and synodic orbits. The Olympians are by
astrological transposition reigning in the horoscope of
Earth, and each soul who sojourns on the Earth. This is
done by election, not foisted upon us by the directions.
The accession, or succession myth of the Olympians over-
throwing the Titans is sometimes inconsistent comparing
extant sources such as Hesiod's Theogony, Homer's Iliad,
or Apollonius' Argonautica. But the consensus that Zeus
reigns supreme with our fellow Olympian Gods atop Mount
Olympus is uncontested. The Titan Gods were defeated in
the ten sidereal-years war, i.e. of each planet or vast
region known as the Titans yielding to the music of the
spheres transliterating the greatest & predominant rule
of the Olympian Gods from their positions to Earth. The
meridian houses or courtyards of the Gods as they trans-
pose under the planets closer to the Earth: Venus, Mars,
Mercury, Sun, Moon, Jupiter & sometimes Saturn, this is
the practice of judicial astrology. For what purpose we
ask? It is the understanding of our soul's relationship,
each with its earthly habitation of the living human bo-
dy, it is no less than the conscious elucidation of the
principal phases of life & death and soul's sojourns in
heaven & earth that every sovereign astrologue adjudges.
Why do the secular orthodoxy have such difficulty under-
standing what biblical astrology is--or what purpose it
serves? You would think that everyone with a soul would
be interested to learn how and why souls sojourn in the
heavens then incarnate to this earthly body, each of us
at our appointed time, once to die, then the adjudgment.
And so it goes to the ages of ages for every soul alive.
The relationship of the Titans with the Olympians shows
the contrast between planetary motions and hierarchical
reigns in the horoscope. Some of the Titans are readily
associated with their corresponding Olympian, e.g. Hype-
rion & Apollon for natural & judicial Leo, respectively;
Phoebe & Artemis for natural & judicial Cancer; Oceanus
& Poseidon for natural & judicial Pisces, etc. There is
the Titan Kreios, God of the four winds, who must yield
to Zeus, whose authority overrides the directions, with
the adjudgment of reigns exerted by the Gods upon Earth.
And because of our many sojourns there over millions of
light-years, we bring that aggregate experience to this,
our proverbial table of mortal life till the day we die,
each of us playing the horoscopic cards that we're delt.
That's why the horoscope is at the first breath of life,
whereas the soul has within that day to incarnate again
to its newborn habitation. You are part of the Titans &
Olympians, invariably at war with the soul and oversoul:
one of corrupt nature, approaching inferior conjunction,
and the other purified in duel with the Sun to superior
conjunction, when oversoul is born-again in the heavens.
Oversoul is the individual will at one with the will of
God. Like Jesus said "among them that are born of women
no greater than John the Baptist is risen...yet he that
is least in heaven is greater than he..from the days of
John till now the heavens suffer violence...the violent
take it by force" [Mat 11:11-12]. Some food for thought.
Now, of the twelve tribes of Israel, we've already iden-
tified four of them with absolute certainty. 1) Judah's
the Sun whose sign is Leo; 2) Reuben is Mars whose sign
is Aries & Scorpio; 3) Ephraim is Saturn, whose sign is
Capricorn & Aquarius, and 4) Dan is Jupiter, whose sign
is Sagittarius & Pisces. According to the four cardinal
directions these four planets exalt in Aries, Capricorn,
Libra & Cancer, East, South, West & North, respectively:
CAMP SIGN TRIBE EXALTS ENSIGN MOTHER
---- ---- ----- ------ ------ ------
East Aries Judah Sun Leo Leah
Issachar Leah
Zebulun Leah
South Capricorn Reuben Mars Ari & Sco Leah
Simeon Leah
Gad Zilpah
Center Iris Levi Jehovah All Signs Leah
West Libra Ephraim Saturn Cap & Aqu Asenath
Manasseh Asenath
Benjamin Rachel
North Cancer Dan Jupiter Sag & Pis Bilhah
Asher Zilpah
Naphtali Bilhah
There's a tendency to ascribe qualities as described by
our father Jacob to the planet for which each child was
associated, but this is not necessarily the case. Birth
horoscopes of the father, mother and their children may
as likely--probably more likely--be the reference being
used, since it's predicated by Jacob saying, "I declare
to you what will happen in the latter end of your days".
That's clearly the fruition of the natal horoscope, and
not anything else could that possibly be. Reuben for ex-
ample, is described like the Sun, yet his tribe matches
explicitly with Mars in Capricorn. It could be Reuben's
natal Sun or part of Fortune is in terrestrial Leo, for
example, and Jacob was interpreting this aspect. Reuben
was a Mars souljourner, that much we can be sure of, as
his tribe heads up that camp to the south. Again, it is
the mood of the passage which defines its portent since
this is given in the imperfect mood, meaning "temporal",
for that person specifically, by the Qal stem (Heb. arq,
"qara" pronounced kaw-raw, meaning to befall) Reuben as
his firstborn son. His natal Mars in Leo would work too.
The point being, we're talking about horoscopes and not
the simple order of birth. The real key to solving this
long-standing astrological conundrum is revealed in the
mothers of these children, with the implied correlation
based on the classic creation myth which varied more by
language than by actual planet and sign of the major ar-
cana as we experience them in our own solar system. The
first mother Leah has five of the twelve tribes and the
Levitical priesthood. Then Leah's handmaiden Zilpah has
Gad and Asher, two of the tribes. Rachel has Joseph and
Benjamin, whilst handmaiden Bilhah has Dan and Naphtali.
Rachel's grandchildren through Joseph with Asenath, the
daughter of an Egyptian priest, is Manasseh and Ephraim;
the tribe of Joseph splits into these latter two tribes.
Nine of these twelve tribes must be attributed to three
mothers Alpha, Mu & Sigma, as charted above. With Sigma
the mother of Sagittarius, Leo & Aries. Alpha for Libra,
Aquarius & Gemini. Mu for Scorpio, Pisces & Cancer. The
remaining three signs are for the Earth-mother which is
Virgo, Capricorn & Taurus. Twelve signs w/ four mothers.
In the Greek creation myth, there are at least four pri-
mary mothers, beginning with Gaea, Mother Earth, who is
the great great grandmother of all creation. Her powers
manifest uniquely in every solar system in the universe,
just as do the other nine planetary Gods. Kronos & Rhea
are born of Gaea & Ouranos. Zeus & Hera are born of the
aforesaid, as are Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, then Demeter.
Zeus in turn fathers progeny with Hera, namely Ares and
Hebe, Hephaestus, & Eileithyia. Zeus fathers myriads of
other children, Apollo & Artemis with mother Leto, then
Hermes with the beautiful Pleiadian Maia, and Aphrodite
with mother Dion (others say Mother Earth via castrated
parts of Ouranos). In the case of Asenath, most say the
mother is as much grandmother Rachel, since the mood of
the Qal stem is perfect (Genesis 41:50, 46:20, Heb. dly,
yalad, meaning to bear). Not once but twice, clearly em-
phasizing Rachel's offspring as to foreordained purpose.
We'll examine both possibilities concerning Asenath and
her mother-in-law, since either or both may satisfy our
common criteria. The perfect mood tells us this is more
of a long-term prophecy than just a genealogical report.
Genesis 29:17 says "Leah was tender eyed but Rachel was
beautiful". What Leah says in Gen 30:11, the part about
"the troop" is perfect mood while the part about Gad is
imperfect mood. See the difference? The tribe of Gad is
foreordained, Gad himself is temporal, as to the moment.
Gad is the actual son of Zilpah & not just a descendant.
Not to belabor this point, but it's imperative that you
understand this particular aspect of the ancient Hebrew
language. Not as an expert, but about the difference of
imperfect mood verses the perfect mood. One "speaks" to
the moment, while the other is a lot closer to prophecy.
The old aphorism about one day is like a thousand years
just as a thousand years is like a day to Jehovah, this
originates in the understanding between the perfect and
the imperfect mood of Hebrew writing, reading and under-
standing. The day is imperfect, & 1000 years is perfect.
But wait! The day is perfect as 1000 years is imperfect.
It's like reading, then reversing, that famous "for the
want of a nail, the shoe was lost'"; shoe..horse; horse
.rider; rider..battle; battle..kingdom and all for the
want of a nail". The macrocosm & microcosm tend to give
each other a whole lot to ponder and to be aware of, as
holds true for the ancient Hebrew language. It's like a
biofeedback mechanism, really, here focused on learning.
Because the alphabetical mothers are arranged in groups
of four elemental triplicities, then their children are
subject to the same elements as their mothers. The five
double-ensign planets rule two elements apiece, such as
Mercury rules Gemini & Virgo, Knight of Air & Knight of
Earth. Venus rules Taurus & Libra, Queen of Earth, King
of Air. Mars rules Aries & Scorpio, King of Fire, Queen
of Water. Jupiter rules Sagittarius & Pisces, Knight of
Fire & Knight of Water. Saturn owns Capricorn, Aquarius,
King of Earth, Queen of Air. The Sun rules Leo Queen of
Fire. The Moon rules Cancer King of Water. Notably, the
masculine & feminine attributions of the courtyards com-
plement the signs of these houses. The Moon, explicitly
feminine, rules over the court of the King of Cups. The
Sun, masculine, rules the court of Queen of Wands. Simi-
larly, the double-ensign planets rule by radial aspects
over their respective courtyards in the same, complemen-
tary fashion. The feminine aspect of Venus is the court
of the King of Swords, Libra, while Taurus, or Queen of
Pentacles, is Venus' masculine aspect. The unstable, or
mutable, courts are ruled by the masculine and feminine
aspects of the planet, one for each sign. To wit, Virgo
is the feminine aspect of Mercury & Gemini is masculine.
The masculine aspect of Jupiter rules Sagittarius, thus
the feminine aspect rules over Pisces, albeit these dis-
tinctions are less obvious than the others. Then we see
Mars--extremely masculine--ruling over the court of the
King of Wands, Aries. Scorpio, Queen of Cups is perhaps
a slightly more feminine aspect of Mars, but that's not
as obvious at first glance. Saturn in Capricorn is male
very obviously, as signified by the caper, or "he-goat",
the court of the King of Pentacles. Aquarius, the Queen
of Swords, is clearly the feminine aspect of Saturn. As
we compare these zodiacal results with Jacob's children
and their mothers, several observations may be apparent.
This list of children represents the ten Gods and their
twelve Ensigns. This grouping of children is consistent
with the four elements: Aries = Fire; Capricorn = Earth;
Libra = Air; Cancer = Water. Leah has the most children,
numbering six in all. Zilpah has two and Rachel has one.
Bilhah has two and Asenath has two, for thirteen in all.
Levi, of course, represents Pluto & Earth-Mother, which
is the center of the eye of the Sky & the Fool of Tarot,
the four Pages together, the twelve Courtyards together.
Judah represents Aries, Reuben is Capricorn, Ephraim is
Libra, and Dan is Cancer. So far we've represented five
of the ten Gods and four of their twelve ensigns and we
have done so strictly by astrological scientific method.

When we include the father figure of the Gods and their
Ensigns going in order around the zodiac, Zeus and Hera
begat their son Ares who rules Aries. Zeus & Dion begat
their daughter Aphrodite, who rules Taurus. Zeus & Maia
begat their son Hermes who rules Gemini. Zeus & Leto be-
gat their son Apollo & his twin sister Artemis, the Sun
who rules Leo, and the Moon who rules Cancer. Next, the
son of Zeus & Maia, Hermes, rules Virgo. Zeus' & Dion's
daughter Venus rules Libra. The son of Zeus & Hera Ares
rules Scorpio. Zeus, the son of Kronos & Rhea, rules in
Sagittarius. Kronos, son of Ouranos and Gaea, rules Cap-
ricorn. Kronos, and his father Ouranos rule in Aquarius.
Finally, Zeus and his brother Poseidon rule over Pisces.
So, according to the majority consensus of classic myth,
Mother Earth is mother to her caelestial sphere Ouranos.
Thus, Earth & Heaven are the parents of Kronos and Leah,
or Father & Mother Time. This makes Mother Earth mother
to two of the ten great Gods, namely Ouranos and Kronos.
Note the caelestial firmament is like a brother to Gaea,
whereas the planet Ouranos is locally the eighth sphere,
and more like a son to Mother Earth in our solar system,
i.e. within the limited space of planets out to Neptune
and Pluto well within the Kuiper belt & vast Oort cloud.
Bottom line Gaea is mother of two of the ten great Gods,
Kronos and Ouranos, the seventh and eighth vast regions
of heaven in our solar system. Saturn's feminine aspect
Rhea is the mother to three more of the great Gods, who
are Poseidon, Hades and Zeus, a.k.a. the three brothers,
for a total of five of the ten great Gods, leaving only
five more to go. Hera is mother by Zeus to Ares, one of
the remaining five Gods. Four to go. By Zeus Leto gives
birth to Apollo & Artemis, the twins, leaving two to go.
By Zeus Maia has Hermes, and by Zeus Dion has Aphrodite.
The many facets of Jupiter's feminine nature are mother
to his children, and particularly the five younger Gods
called the Olympians with Zeus as our Emperor of Heaven.
Leah is the only mother with enough children to satisfy
the Olympian Gods fathered by Zeus. Like Achilles, hero
of Homer's Iliad killed by Paris with an arrow, sagitta,
in his only vulnerable spot, his heel, Jacob represents
Zeus who supplants the reign of Kronos in the pantheion.
Even the name Jacob (Heb. bqey pronounced "yah-ak-obe")
means "heel holder" or "supplanter", from the primitive
root Heb. bqe, "aw-kab", meaning "to supplant" or "take
by or attack at the heel", "assail insidiously" etc. as
the Hebrew Lexicon indicates beginning at Genesis 25:26
(freeware on http://www.onlinebible.net/downloads.html).
The war of ten sidereal years is much the same as myths
and enmity surrounding Jacob and Esau, and their descen-
dants. Israel is already victorious in the perfect mood
of prophecy since Jesus was crucified at Golgotha 31 AD.
But here in the 21st century AD, many still hold hatred
one for the other, this ancient and portentous vendetta.
Let's say Leah is the generic name for Zeus' many wives
and lovers, really just the overall feminine attributes
of Jupiter, who we commonly associate with Hera or Juno.
Leah means weary--no doubt from having so many children!
The biblical names of her sons are Reuben, Simeon, Levi,
Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. Just their names may show
some relationship to how they are grouped by threes, as
Judah means "praised", Issachar means "recompense or re-
ward", Zebulun means "exalted habitation". Next, Reuben
means "behold a son", Simeon means "be heard" or "rock".
Then appears Gad whose name means "troop", Zilpah's son.
Clearly, Zilpah, whose name means "trickling", is close-
ly attached to Leah as her handmaiden. That's six signs
so far. Centered in the twelve signs is Levi whose name
appropriately means "joined together", the whole zodiac.
Before continuing, assuming that Leah's children corres-
pond to the Olympic progeny of Zeus, these children are
Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes and Aphrodite. We've seen
that Judah must be the Sun in Aries. The sceptre is the
wand, staff, or rod of power, as in Genesis 49:10 which
says "the sceptre shall not depart from Judah" relating
to "Shiloh", one of many messianic names for Jesus from
the old testament. Aries is king of the sceptre or wand,
so Judah is almost certainly Aries by the exaltation of
the Sun. Simeon & Levi are called "brothers" Gen 49:5ff,
drawing attention to Scorpio, in which Mars & Pluto are
co-ruling. Simeon is fixed "like a rock..in their anger
they slew a man--into their secret come not, O my soul!"
That sounds a whole lot like Pluto inferior and Mars su-
perior in the eighth house & court of the Queen of Cups.
So Simeon is closely aligned with Mars in Scorpio, with
anger and wrath, death & the underworld of Pluton-Hades.
Reuben is something of an anomaly, since "mutable water"
is Pisces, but the south is clearly Capricorn with Mars.
There's another biblical aspect to this analysis, which
pertains to the signs of blessing vs the signs of curse.
That's very helpful because half the signs are accursed
and the other half are purified. I'll quote Deuteronomy:
"Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a
curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of
the LORD your God, which I command you this day: And
a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the
LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I
command you this day, to go after other gods, which
ye have not known. And it shall come to pass, when
the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land
whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt
put the blessing upon mount *Gerizim, and the curse
upon mount *Ebal"--Deut 11:26-29 AV
"These shall stand upon mount *Gerizim to bless the
people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and
Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Ben-
jamin: And these shall stand upon mount *Ebal to
curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan,
and Naphtali."--Deut 27:12-13 AV
Gerizim is the name of a mountain of Samaria some 3,000
feet a.s.l., which stands against Mount Ebal, about two
miles from summit to summit. Gerizim means cuttings off,
souls cut-off by the Scythe from our earthly habitation
dispatched to sojourn among the heavens above and below,
each for their appointed time. Our souls are born again
at the moment of death in the mortal body to experience
our discarnate life in heaven. At the second death soul
is cast down to Earth to live again in a new human body.

superior Leo to Capricorn & inferior Aquarius to Cancer:

The "blessings" group are Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar,
Joseph and Benjamin. Across the valley of Shechem which
is modern-day Nablus stood the "cursings" group, Reuben,
Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali. Notably, Ebal is
to the north, Gerizim to the south. Again, Cancer is to
the north, Capricorn is to the south, Aries to the east,
Libra to the west. Cap, Sag, Sco, Lib, Vir, Leo are the
signs of blessing. Can, Gem, Tau, Ari, Pis, Aqu are the
signs of cursing. We already know Judah is east, Reuben
is south, Ephraim is west, and Dan is north, as we know.
We look above, and sure enough there's the tribe of Dan
to the north, to the inferior & accursed sign of Cancer,
the sins of the fathers--so to speak in genitive neuter.
On average, the Moon is slowly receding away from Earth,
whilst the Sun is slowly closing the distance by radial
velocity, as if to affirm their astrological reputation.
Judah is in the blessings group, while Reuben is in the
cursings group. That would put Judah in Leo, and Reuben
in Aries, the signs of the Sun-superior & Mars-inferior,
respectively. Remember, the inferior signs refer to our
soul in separation from heaven being cast down to Earth
away from the planets receding by radial velocity. This
is to be born in sin, to be born the son of man, as all
mere mortals are born to die. Death is the wages of sin.
Be content with your wages, the separation of soul from
the temple of the living, and reunion of soul in heaven.
Next, the tribe of Joseph is Jacob's eleventh son whose
mother is Rachel. Joseph's tribe is split into Manasseh
and Ephraim, most likely Aquarius & Capricorn, the sign
of Saturn inferior & superior, respectively. That draws
attention to the order of birth, since the eleventh son
correlates to the eleventh and tenth sign of the zodiac.
Genesis 29:32, says that Reuben is the first-born child
of Jacob & Leah, followed by Simeon, Levi, and Judah by
the same parents. There's little doubt that Reuben must
be Aries, & Judah must be Leo. Then Rachel's handmaiden
Bilhah gives birth to Dan and Naphtali. Dan fits neatly
with Pisces, perhaps because my name is Daniel, and I'm
a Neptune exalted in Sagittarius beneath ruling Jupiter,
God is my Judge. So we've identified several more signs.
Issachar is of the blessings group, and is probably the
sign of Libra, she who holds the scales of compensation,
"measure of wheat..three measures of barley for a penny"
[ref. Rev 6:6]. After all, it is Saturn, the Scythe who
"cuts off", and reaps the harvest. Libra is Saturn's ex-
altation, who we've already identified as Ephraim which
is Capricorn, the superior aspect of Saturn. Thus Benja-
min is Virgo, the last remaining superior ensign in the
zodiac. That leaves just two signs to go, Gad and Asher.
Now, this list is by no means gospel. It is just a best,
educated guess based on reconciling the classic myth of
divine pecking-order with the four directions, elements,
three qualities, order of birth, two orders of blessing
by Jacob in Genesis 49 and Moses in Deuteronomy 33, and
the blessings and cursings told by Moses in Deuteronomy
27, and the order given by John in Revelation 14:1, and
the traditional meaning of the names of the twelve sons
and tribes of Israel. That's a lot to consider, but I'm
reasonably certain that this chart is close to the mark:
TRIBE SIGN MOTHER
----- ---- ------
Levi Iris Leah
Reuben Aries Leah
Gad Taurus Zilpah
Naphtali Gemini Bilhah
Asher Cancer Zilpah
Judah Leo Leah
Benjamin Virgo Rachel
Issachar Libra Leah
Simeon Scorpio Leah
Zebulun Sagittarius Leah
Ephraim Capricorn Asenath
Manasseh Aquarius Asenath
Dan Pisces Bilhah
So, we've gone to all this trouble to compare the myths
of the twelve tribes of Genesis with the twelve ensigns
of the zodiac. The twelve tribal modalities are readily
identified in relationship to the ancient Greek methods,
in which malefic signs are ascending, benefic signs are
descending. We've covered this comprehensively in other
chapters and books, thus I'll sumarize this order below:
SIGN MODE- SCALAR MOTION
---- ---------------------
Leo Phrygian- Descending
Virgo Mixolydian-Descending
Libra Lydian- Descending
Scorpio Dorian- Descending
Sagittarius Ionian- Descending
Capricorn Locrian- Descending
Aquarius Mixolydian-Ascending
Pisces Lydian- Ascending
Aries Phrygian- Ascending
Taurus Ionian- Ascending
Gemini Locrian- Ascending
Cancer Aeolian- Ascending
Comparing the myths with the ancient Greeks & Egyptians,
the traditions of ancient Hebrews show clear similarity
between them. The contributions of Abraham to the study
and understanding of the kabalah & astrology in general
are too outstanding to ignore for any serious student &
teacher of biblical astrology and its utmost prominence
in biblical theology. Denounce astrology and you reject
both the old & new testament canon, lock stock & barrel.
Remember it was the MAGOI who understood, predicted and
acted upon the Star of Bethlehem. Remember Abraham knew
astrology, tarot and kabalah better than just about any-
one else in history. Remember the Apokalupsis, the Reve-
lation, the crown of twelve stars, the seven seals, and
the 144,000 and the innumerable multitude. Remember the
prophet and judicial astrologer Daniel, and his visions.
Those who denounce biblical astrology blaspheme Jehovah.
Rest assured the day and hour of your reckoning is near.
