Thousands of years ago, Jewish Kabbalists establish a divine schematic called the Tree of Life. Composed of Sefirot, it showed the relationships of the Divine qualities to be sought within humanity. Legend says that the Divine tree has its roots in the Heavens, while the human tree has its roots in Earth; the two touch at the had or top of the tree.Like the ten planets used by astrologers in horoscopes, the Sefirot symbolize qualities of being and human development. Unlike the Sefirot, the growth, awareness,and spiritual development of humanity is included in horoscopes by using more recently discovered planets.Alice Miller begins by explaining the theory and structure of the planetary principles. In the center is the Identity Structure, with the Consciousness Structure on one side and the Creativity Structure on the other. Each of these is represented by several planets that receive and channel energy and a chapter is devoted to each, including the planets in the elements and signs.• Sun-Identity Structure• Mercury-Basic Consciousness• Venus-Attraction• Moon-Identity Structure• Earth/Ascendant• Mars-Identity Structure• Chiron-Personalized Consciousness• Pluto and Eris-Healing for Humanity's Future• Jupiter-Expanding Consciousness• Saturn-Outlining Creativity• Uranus-Identity Structure• Neptune-Higher Consciousness• Pluto-Higher Creativity
