Mapping the astrology signs
over the chakras in the framework
In the 2 sets of signs and planets in the diagram:
- The top set represents those signs and planets that are
indicated when the card being read is for the moon
chart.
- The bottom set of symbols represent those signs and planets
that are indicated when the rising
chart is being analyzed.
- When the background color for any sign is dark blue, it indicates
that the sign is archetypally dominant with the night
force.
- When the background color for any sign is yellow, it indicates
that the sign is archetypally dominant with the day
force.
With this it will be seen that for any card house
in the framework, it can be associated with a rising
chart or moon
chart, and the sign associated with that location can be
active by day or by night. With this we have defined 4
distinct categories of alignments, which is again reflective
of the 4 elements, 4 suits, etc.

| The planetary influences are associated
with the chakras by rotating the zodiac such that the signs of Capricorn
and Aquarius are aligned with the 1st chakra as shown above (see
the 7 Chakras). When viewing
this alignment, the archetypal planetary ruler of each sign can
be assigned to a chakra position as indicated in the diagram.
To clarify the symbology of the diagram shown above, let's focus
on the 2 rows of symbols at the top and the 2 rows of symbols at
the bottom of the diagram. The outer of these rows of symbols
represent the planetary ruler assigned with the associated astrological
sign (the inner row of symbols).
You will notice that the 7th chakra does not have a set of zodiacal
signs associated with it. This is indicative of the fact that
the 7th chakra is transcendental in nature, and as such does not
manifest as form. Instead, it shows that the 7th chakra is
represented by the 2 lights (Sun and Moon) as reflected by the 3
outer planets of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These 3 planets
act outside of the ancient set of the 7-planet system of our solar
system, being the Sun and Moon (the 2 lights) and the planets Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Saturn still maintains the
position of outer ruler of this solar system, making the 3 outer
planets members of a larger galactic system. As such, these
outer planets represent the connection of our higher faculties to
the cosmos in general.
As the signs are assigned with their associated chakra, you will
notice a color-coding in effect. Take the 1st chakra signs
of Capricorn and Aquarius: The background color for Aquarius is
yellow, while that of Capricorn is blue. This signifies that
Aquarius is dominant in the day, whereas Capricorn is dominant at
night. This is in reference to the original statements regarding
sign placements described by Agrippa and others--being Saturn rules
Aquarius by day and Capricorn by night. Later we come to find
that Uranus is now associated with Aquarius, but that does not change
the relationship any. Uranus rules Aquarius by day and Saturn
rules Capricorn by night.
By following the color-coding as we move to the succeeding chakras,
it is noticed that they alternate between being dominant by day,
and then by night. This shows that the traditional placement
of the signs already had this alternating sequence present in its
structure. Seeing it as it is shown above, it becomes apparent
that the alternating sequence creates the effect of spiraling around
a central pole, as is representative of the intertwining snakes,
the components of the caduceus (see The Caduceus
Symbol).
