I'm not making the claim that I'm an expert at Kabbalah, or anything, but I want to point out a theory. The positioning of the planets according to Kabbalistic belief had always fascinated me, and I must confess that the Tree of Life had influenced my ideas of Magick, but the place where Saturn had been placed, in Binah, had always troubled me. At first, I was afraid to experiment with my theory, because I was still new in this area of study, but as I grew accustom to the energies which related to the Sephiroth, I began to understand more of how my theory could be proven to be true.
I moved Saturn to Daath, for three reasons. Daath has a dark energy which can easily be attributed to Saturn. Placing Saturn in Daath will allow for the hexegram to be placed accurately on the Tree of Life. The alignment of the Moon, Sun and Saturn seemed logical as being equivalent to the astral, soul and ego energies, respectively.
| Common View | My View | |
| Kether: | Universe | Universe |
| Chokmah: | Zodiac | Stars |
| Binah: | Saturn | Zodiac |
| Daath: | Saturn | |
| Chesed: | Jupiter | Jupiter |
| Geburah: | Mars | Mars |
| Tiphereth: | Sun | Sun |
| Netzach: | Venus | Venus |
| Hod: | Mercury | Mercury |
| Yesod: | Moon | Moon |
| Malkuth: | Elements | Elements |
The purpose for this was to allow the zodiac and the mass of stars to be separate. I placed the zodiac in Binah and the stars in Chokmah. This seemed like a logical conversion. Doing this allowed for a natural progression from the elements to the grand universe as a whole. This also allowed me to place gold and silver with Chokmah and Binah respectively, which I see a the divine colours for yellow and white, the masculine and feminine colours for which the God and Goddess can be represented. This would leave white belonging to Kether, where the place of the Great Spirit would lie. Is this wrong of me to make such a change? Will the whole universe come crashing down around us? Not likely.
