and the works by the hands of him they are announced
firmamentum --Psa 19:1 (Vulg. 18-2)
on the firmament.
Remember that Earth s firmament is where men walk on terra firma, or sail on her waters,
or fly in Earth s skies. Man sends unmanned instruments into outer space, but man NEVER
leaves Earth s inner space, being confined to about 250 to 300 miles above sea level to wit, as
in the space shuttles. Bottom line is Earth s heavenly firmament is right here on Earth, not
somewhere deep in outer space. The announcement of God s universal works is radiated
spherically in all directions from each sun thereof, which radiation is carried all the way to
us and to every other solar system across lightyears unobstructed thru the near-vacuum of
deep space.
Hence we know that natural law is universal and repeatable, reliable and inexorable. God s
law defines the boundary of each of his holy angels, each in their sidereal orbits and synodic
positions to Earth s iris, commencing on our local meridian. How God s angels  get along
forms the mythology of astrology, their innate universal archetypes, and their powers and
principalities as Gods interact on the Earth in human form, we collectively being them &
them collectively being us, the solar system altogether creating, sustaining and destroying
through the grand skein of life & afterlife.
The Gods project our anthropomorphic Archangels toward man. Hence, Archangel Michael
is Jupiter,  Emperor of the Gods. Satan is Saturn,  Judgment ranking second only to his son
Jupiter. Gabriel is Apollo,  Strength of the Sun. The Sun exalts in Aries hence Mars is  Regent
of the Sun , King of Wands whose principality or terrestrial courtyard is Aries, so Uriel is Mars
the  Tower , the  Fire of the Gods whose scavenging vultures  feast on the fallen . These four
Gods, Jupiter (Michael), Saturn (Satan), Sun (Gabriel), Mars (Uriel), exalt in the cardinal or
 king elements: Water, Air, Fire, & Earth, respectively. Not surprisingly these are the same
four planets which the prophet Nostradamus had in his seal, with his natal Sun transiting
midheaven to rule in the 5th house of his horoscope, and Jupiter ruling 12th house over Mars
& Saturn therein. Add to this, he had Venus ruling in the 7th house, Mercury ruling 6th af-
flicting his Neptunian souljourn therein. His natal Moon was ruling the 4th house. Nosty s
chart had all seven of his archangels in rulership. Of course he knew this, being a master judi-
cial astrologer and devout Catholic. No wonder so few could understand him.
Raphael is Mercury the  Magician , the Physician or Healer.  chief messenger of the Gods.
Raphael exalts in the Queen of Swords, Aquarius sustainer of the element Air. Jophiel is the

 Beauty of God Venus, guardian of the Tree or Book of Life, Libro, she who wields the flaming
sword, guarding her terrestrial principality of King of Swords, ergo Libra. The Archangel
Chamuel is the Moon,  the vision of God who has emotional feeling, to wit compassion (and
whose waning phase Hekate is the favorite of Zeus) thus the Moon exalts in the principality of
Passion, Taurus. Of the hundreds of famous commentators on angels, St. Jerome, Dante
Alighieri, and the Vulgate itself apocryphal books notwithstanding , in general terms the
angelic hierarchy outlines as follows:
(Jerome)
1 Seraphim
2 Cherubim
3 Powers
4 Dominions
5 Thrones
6 Archangels
7 Angels
(Dante)
1 Seraphim
2 Cherubim
3 Thrones
4 Dominations
5 Virtues
6 Powers
7 Archangels
8 Principalities
9 Angels
Again, the classic Greco-Roman myth provides the benchmark against which previous and
subsequent angelic myths can be best recognized and understood in basic astrological terms.
Consider, the Gods of the Pantheion are well-known by both astronomical & astrological
characteristics and behaviors. Man, who is created in the image & likeness of the Gods is in
communication with the Almighty through his holy angels.
How the Archangels communicate with humans is archetypally familiar and common to all
of us, yet is singularly unique to each of us on an individual basis, according to how far we
have evolved as souls, and our self-imposed limitations. We tend to congregate into and away
from groups of similar unfoldment, as our physical, mental and spiritual capacity takes us.
Those with extraordinary limits or extraordinary gifts tend to specialize, and often excel more
than others. But how much they influence the world, depends on how much they demon-
strate, communicate, and propagate their talents. Even the most unknown hermit can refine
his or her ability, but to share it with others requires a little extra effort.

The question arises, how much of the Archangels as we know them is projected from our-
selves up toward the illimitable, I mean, collectively, archetypally? In essence, Archangels are
