"Alice Bailey-- A Treatise on the Seven Rays, 3rd book: Esoteric Astrology."
Just as there is a science and astrology of the personality, so too there is a science and astrology of the soul.
This new or soul-centred astrology is not intended to replace popular western astrology; it is intended for both to run alongside each other. The same astrological relationship often has multiple levels of interpretation and expression on the personality level-- these are in themselves lower expressions of higher soul energies emanating from the planets.
What is the soul?
The soul of a man is the divine counterpart of the personality. The soul is the reason for the personality being in incarnation. In the study of the charts of people who have achieved some measure of soul-power and integration in their life, the esoteric or soul connections and rulerships are of more significance than the mundane rulerships.
The esoteric rulerships are as follows:
Aries: Mercury
Taurus: Vulcan
Gemini: Venus
Cancer: Neptune
Leo: Sun
Virgo: Moon
Libra: Uranus
Scorpio: Mars
Sagittarius: Earth
Capricorn: Saturn
Aquarius: Jupiter
Pisces: Pluto
These are the signs which the planets transmit from the soul level. For example, on the personality level the effects of the moon are Cancerian, while on the soul level the effects of the moon are highly Virgoan.
There is also a recognition of the seven base energies or Rays which emanate from Deity and which the planets serve to mediate, through the twelve zodiac signs:
The three base aspects:
Ray 1: The energy of Will-Power-Purpose
Ray 2: The energy of Love-Wisdom-Consciousness
Ray 3: The energy of Activity-Intelligence-Mind
The four base attributes:
Ray 4: The energy of Harmony and Rhythm
Ray 5: The energy of Concrete Science and Truth
Ray 6: The energy of Pointed Devotion
Ray 7: The energy of Order and Expression
Each planet transmits all seven Ray energies, but each planet is composed of and transmits one Ray primarily:
Sun: Ray 2
Vulcan: Ray 1
Mercury: Ray 4
Venus: Ray 5
Earth: Ray 3
Moon: Ray 4
Mars: Ray 6
Jupiter: Ray 2
Saturn: Ray 3
Uranus: Ray 7
Neptune: Ray 6
Pluto: Ray 1
The masculine Rays: 1, 3, 5, 7
The feminine Rays: 2, 4, 6
It is interesting to note the Rays of Venus and Mars in relation to femininity and masculinity.
Vulcan, inside the orbit of Mercury, is a planet which lacks the dense-physical counterpart which the other planets possess. Nevertheless, it transmits a powerful energy. It is visible to the human eye, but only if that person has been trained in etheric vision.
The constellations, through the zodiac signs, also transmit the Ray energies:
Aries: Ray 1 and Ray 7
Taurus: Ray 4
Gemini: Ray 2
Cancer: Ray 3 and Ray 7
Leo: Ray 1 and Ray 5
Virgo: Ray 2 and Ray 6
Libra: Ray 3
Scorpio: Ray 4
Sagittarius: Ray 4 and Ray 5 and Ray 6
Capricorn: Ray 1 and Ray 3 and Ray 7
Aquarius: Ray 5
Pisces: Ray 2 and Ray 6
The signs are also understood in terms of the fusion of each pair of opposites, creating six fused energies:
Aries-Libra
Taurus-Scorpio
Gemini-Sagittarius
Cancer-Capricorn
Leo-Aquarius
Virgo-Pisces
In addition to this, the planetary aspects are in their nature composed of certain Ray types. This tells astrologers a bit on how to deal with certain aspects:
Square: Ray 4 - Characterised by tension and harmony through conflict.
Conjunction: Ray 1 - Characterised by overpowering fusion.
Trine: Ray 3 - Characterised by fluid activity.
Opposition: Ray 6 - Characterised by twin forces.
Sextile: Ray 5 - Characterised by creative effort.
Inconjunction: Ray 7 - Characterised by manifestation.

Re: Esoteric Astrology
Very interesting!! I never knew about esoteric astrology until today! I will read more up on it because it sounds really cool. I think the planet sign rulerships are kind of weird though.
