Although Sherpa might be able to give a better explanation of this, after some time exploring the possibility of correlations between the 8cb and the zodiac and the planets and so forth, personally I have finally decided that, what is most important is, is that it doesn't matter. Whereas before I would have exalted the unification of these maps, now I see it as being quite pointless and limiting.

Although it is quite easy to see, like the days of the week;

1st C = Moon - Monday
2nd C = Mars - Tuesday
3rd C = Mercury - Wednesday
4th C = Jupiter - Thursday
5th C = Venus - Friday
6th C = Saturn/Uranus - Saturday
7th C = Sun/Neptune - Sunday
8th C = Sun/Pluto

..I see it as being sort of baseless. Getting to understand what, for instance, Mars, as a Astrological planet and as a God represents - and then getting to understand what 2nd Circuit represents - and then getting to understand what the Sefira of Geburah in the Tree of Life represents - and then getting to understand what the 27th Emanation in the Sefer Yetzirah represents - and then understanding what the pathway between Hod and Netzach represents - and then getting to understand what the Sacral chakra represents - and then, heck, understanding what all of the innumerable Gods that roughly correlate to Mars in the innumerable historical Pantheons of global mythology represents; when you have a look at all of these, realizing that they all potentially represent Mars - you realize just how multi-dimensional our universe really is in relation to any metaphors and maps we want to give it.

Thus - in order to navigate the territories of consciousness and participate in expanding your consciousness in life on this planet - it is great to have these maps as one-time guiding ways - but thinking that it is our job to try and explain everything with a 'singular grand unified theory of everything', and further-more, thinking that this will offer some sort of enlightenment with some deluded notion of tying together all of the symbolic cords in your head, is just plain silly. I have found that whilst it can help to bring about a sense of intellectually understanding unity - it only acts as an occasional convincing agent for my over-analytical intellect - which more often than not, is remedied with relaxation, focus and meditation; rather than any silly certitude-game which just perpetuates the separation of body and mind.

Sherpa and others have said all of this a number of times, each time helping me call attention to further fixations I have on this intellectual neurosis - at the moment I feel I am coming into a firmer understanding of it as, perhaps, I am beginning to integrate it through my own being and participate in it's articulation in my own personal emotional life, though I won't hold any certainties about that. lol
