Gnostic and Fabricative Powers: Soul and Demiurge as Dual Sources of Planetary Function

Astrology Theory

Reading from left to right, the line of planetary glyphs in the center consists of the dignities of house 11, bracketed with the label “7,” which in this context refers to the seven fabricative powers of the Demiurge; the detriments of houses 10-7, bracketed with the label “4,” which in this context refers to the soul’s four gnostic functions; and the detriments of houses 6-5.

The Sun in Aquarius, also in detriment, is thus where the Demiurgic functioning, which fabricates the fourth quadrant, meets the Soul ring (that is, the planets in detriment), which Damiani sometimes refers to as "individual Soul" (whether cosmic or human).

Below this line, there is the solar system from the geocentric perspective, with the seven planetary spheres above the Earth.
