12 signs of zodiac Archangels that preside over the 12 signs
Balancing the energies of the 12 zodiac signs within you
Breaking the chains that bind us to the stars
“In the higher grades of the Golden Dawn, magicians are told to invoke the zodiacal angels and internalize the zodiacal angels often, so that the chain of the stars is broken and we are free from their influence.”

“Think of the signs of the zodiac as being an eternal cycle that serves as a training ground for souls incarnating on the material plane. We are born under the influence of a particular star sign because it has lessons which we need to learn. In one incarnation we may be born into Sagittarius because their are certain lessons we need to learn there, while next time we may incarnate under the influence of Cancer, or Gemini. This cycle may continue for millions of year until we learn to break the hold the wheel of the stars exerts on us. The lessons of some signs are harder to endure and a heavier burden than others, while others aren't quite as difficult. By regularly invoking all 12 archangels that preside over the zodiacal energies, we equalize and balance the influence of all the signs within our aura, so that we are no longer controlled by them. Only when the stars no longer pull us this way and that can we truly have free will and complete the great work. We use the Pentagram ritual to invoke them, instead of the Hexagram ritual, even though the Hexagram is used in most planetary magick. The reason is because the Hexagram is an entirely solar ritual, through and through. The Pentagram, however, is deeply connected to all for elements - and the elements are deeply intertwined with the spheres on the tree of life, the planets that correspond with the spheres, the zodiacal signs they rule, etc. I learned this through trial and error. I've tried to invoke the angels afyer doing the Lesser banishing of the Hexagram, but the effect felt energetically muted, faded, or washed out, if that makes sense. However, by doing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram first, then invoking the angels, i can feel their presence much more powerfully.”

“Celestial or astrological magic thus concerns itself with the middle world, that of the Zodiacal powers, which are a universal archetype of Reality and control the generation and corruption of all things in the material realm. The celestial corresponds to the middle world of the Alam al-Mithal the imaginal world, where the divine ideas take on form and physical things lose their materiality. It is, therefore, a central and ideal interface with the spiritual. Thus astrological magic combines astrological timing of ritual with ceremonial magic and invocation of celestial spirits, like the angels of planets, the planetary hours, the fixed stars, Mansions of the Moon, and other celestial factors. The height of astrological magic is the use of full chart elections and the creation of house based talismans.”
