    The key takeaways are an introduction to astrological concepts like the elements, signs, planets and their relationships which are important for understanding magical correspondences.

    The three modalities of the elements are cardinal, fixed and mutable.

    The seven unique planetary forces referred to are the classical Ptolemaic inner planets - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

    Astrology for

    Magicians

    VHF Lux Æterna


    This presentation is not intended to be a primer on the construction and/or
    interpretation of an astrological (natal) chart. Instead, it should be viewed as a sketch of
    the materials needed in order to best approach the astrological concepts required for an
    understanding of zodiacal correspondences. Knowledge of these concepts WILL lead the
    student to a better understanding of an astrological chart.

    The planets used herein are the “inner” planets used in the classical Ptolemaic system.
    These same planets are used within the Golden Dawn system. Our magick is focused on
    the inner world of the magician, so it makes sense that the Outer planets (Uranus,
    Neptune, and Pluto) would be excluded, since their influence is generational, societal.

    We begin with the elements, because the signs of the zodiac are each phases of
    the elements. These phases are termed “modalities” and each element goes
    through 3 modalities, creating a total of 12 varieties or “styles”.

    Modalities The Fixed signs are also sometimes


    • Cardinal called Cherubic. They are associated
    • Fixed with the 4 cherubs (Lion, Eagle, Bull
    • Mutable and Man.

    The Signs
    The Signs of the Zodiac are the result
    of varieties of the elements. 12
    universal, human archetypes which
    result from the following formula.
    The planets are 7 unique forces, or
    expressions of energy.

    The
    Planets
    Dignities and More!
    Planetary forces have specific affinities;
    likes and dislikes:

    Rulership: Authority over those signs


    Exaltation: A place of honor in that sign
    Detriment: Unease and dislike of the sign

    Most planets rule 2 different signs, a day


    sign and a night sign. Leo through
    Capricorn are day signs, Aquarius through
    Cancer are night signs.

    Lesser Banishing
    Ritual of the
    Hexagram

    It isn’t always obvious to Neophytes why


    they are using the Saturn form of the
    hexagram when performing the LBRH.

    As the LBRP uses the slowest, most stable


    energy (Earth) to banish, so does the
    LBRH use Saturn, the planetary kin of
    Earth.
    Planets and Elements are
    different sorts of energy!

    The Tree of Life

    Understanding the foundations of


    astrology will make the Tree of Life
    much more approachable.

    Most of the sephiroth are associated


    with a particular planet.

    Every one of the paths on the Tree is


    associated with Hebrew letter, and thus
    either an element, a planet, or a zodiacal
    sign.
    Planets
    on the Tree
    Beginning with Yesod, and
    moving up the tree up to Binah,
    each Sephira is associated with a
    planet.

    Saturn is attributed to Binah,


    but is also with the Binah-
    Chokmah convergence…or
    Daath.
    The Paths on the Tree

    The paths are associated with a Hebrew letter


    The Paths and Spheres of the Outer Order grades
    The
    Decans
    of the
    Tarot

    Each of the “small” or


    numbered cards of the Tarot is
    associated with both a planet
    and a zodiacal sign. However,
    there’s something more…
    Houses

    Houses are like the set of a movie. The 1st


    House is the set for a movie about Aries. Aries
    is the intense onrush of fire. It is ruled by Mars,
    the planet of aggression and passion.
    So…the movie is like Gladiator, with the set
    maybe the colosseum.

    Leo is exalted in Aries, so Leo, Fixed Fire is quite


    happy there…but what if Venus shows up? She
    might like the passion, but all the weapons and
    blood is going to leave her cold.
    Tarot and the Tree

    Each of the small cards of the Tarot is


    also associated with one of the
    Sephiroth. Ones with Kether, 10s with
    Malkuth.

    In this context, the Sephira are akin to


    Houses. They are a setting. So, to fully
    understand a small card, you must
    combine the planet and sign, in a
    Sephiroth.
