I’ll be visiting this episode again sometime as I’ll both be learning that hermetic chart system and I’ll add “thrones, cheribum, and Seraphim” are likely references to fixed stars. Since I’m here and there’s a visual.. in Rosicrucianism they refer to the formation of the galaxy as “old Saturn” as it was a ball of warmth that extended from the center of the chart to the sphere of Saturn. Then, looking at the center, it entered the “old sun” phase, next to old moon stage, then what we know as earth. The war in the heavens is refering to the compression of the cosmos that broke apart and then materialized into orbits. In their story it started as totality sort of gaseous, started forming a star, started to cool which formed the modern moon as it shed and then, heat plus expansion and compression broke the rest apart into what we see as the 7 planets. More confusing, it says the esoteric meanings of mercury and Venus are reversed, but that may be a reference to the heliocentric vs geocentric model. Sphere of moon is the world of the angels, they have the most individual impact. Archangels, sphere of mercury. Archai, sphere of Venus. Sphere, not just planets which relate to the physical. The actual orbits. Good times.
