Based on what has been presented in the document Luminaries-Rulers-Planets for the astrosophic vision, we present here a systemic hypothesis of their relevance and meaning in the 12 Signs of the Zodiac.
In fact, the arrangement in a 12×12 Lambdoma allows for a synoptic and integrated vision of the various relationships between the Planets of Esoteric Astrology, bodies of expression of the solar Centres or planetary Logoi, with respect to the 12 Fields of the evolution of consciousness, the 12 zodiacal Archetypes [1]: 144 qualitative values or sound nuances which are important to order and include in a harmonic system of relationships and correspondences, so that we can achieve an increasingly synthetic understanding of the causal energies and forces of this “highest among the Sciences”.
In the aforementioned text, an attempt has already been made to identify the values according to the three levels of the Rulership of the Signs (hierarchical, esoteric and exoteric) indicated by the Esoteric Astrology (see p. 68), from virtues to vices, i.e. defining both the higher and ‘lower’ or undeveloped aspects at the exoteric level of ordinary humanity.
Our inquisitive gaze now leads us to enquire further in order to grasp the sound of the Planets in relation to all 12 Signs, inscribed in good time by exalted and excellent Composers in the Scores of the solar Orchestra, but activated in a particular way by their cyclic transit through such qualified fields of Evolution.
As our consciousness is in perpetual evolutionary motion, the reading of the various combinations is an eternal “work in progress”, so we will constantly update these harmonic diagrams, according to the growing light of our understanding.

We present here the synthetic Formulas of the exoteric perspective and, in the following Lambdoma, those of the esoteric level:
- In the first Lambdoma, relating to ordinary humanity, ranging from the instinctive level to that of ‘good will’ and ‘common sense’, for each ‘box’ or position the positive or virtuous significance of the Luminary’s relationship with the exoteric ruler of the Sign (e.g. Jupiter in Aries: Jupiter-Mars) will be indicated first, followed by the involuted value, that we express when we are still imprisoned by the limits of our responsiveness to evolutionary celestial influences;
- In the second Lambdoma, which is reserved for the advanced level of disciples and initiates, clearly only the evolutionary value is identified, the energy that the Soul or “group solar consciousness” has at its disposal, resulting from the harmonious relationship between the Luminary and the esoteric ruler of the Sign (e.g. Jupiter in Aries: Jupiter-Mercury);
- In a future third Lambdoma, the one for initiates of a higher order (beyond the third initiation), we will attempt to imagine the relationship between the Luminary and the hierarchical ruler of the Sign (e.g. Jupiter in Aries: Jupiter-Uranus).
Here are the three levels of the rulership of the Planets in the 12 branches of the 3 Crosses (for their Ray Principles, meanings and values, please always refer to the various articles about Luminaries and Signs on TPS):

[1] “… the accuracy of astrological prediction and interpretation will be based upon three factors:
- The potency of the thoughtforms which have been built up in connection with the twelve signs. These thoughtforms were originally constructed or anchored upon the mental plane by the Hierarchy in Atlantean days and they have steadily gained in power ever since. They serve as focal points for certain forces and enable the individual, for instance, to be in touch with great reservoirs of energy which then definitely condition him… (A. A.
