This is where Soldiers of Jah Ministries is proud to introduce you to what's more approperiately called "God's Wheel", but is more commonly called "The Witches Wheel", aka, the Wheel of Astrology!
If one looks to the written work of Enoch, they quickly will find this wheel noted and decribed as being located in the heaven Between our Almighty Creator's throne, which is situated in the 10th heaven, and the throne of his only begotten son which is located on the 7th heaven.
According to Enoch, the 8th heaven is where the symbols of the wheel sit, and the 8th heaven is where there houses are. Enoch notes nothing else about these two heavenly realms unlike the immense detail regarding all the other realms of heaven.
The purpose of the wheel is to associate characteristic traits to individual human beings - "Creator's summerized assessment" if you will. Dor this, the wheel breaks down into a few different ways. Let us begin with the beginning of the breakdown -
First, there are 4 elements that are undeniably essential upon our mother earth:
Welcome to Western Astrology~
Each of these astrological factors represents a coded set of drives in your sub-conscious. Drives may be activated and brought to your awareness by circumstances in your life, presenting you with a range of choices. Of course, your choices are to a considerable extent limited and determined by your character, which is itself revealed through an understanding of the symbols that make up the chart.
Each sign projects a set of deep-seated behavioural characteristics and typical responses to the influence of circumstances. Each sign also symbolises one of the stations on our spiritual journey. As we undergo spiritual growth, exploring the process of karmic fruition, each of the signs presents us with characteristic challenges and rewards.
The nature of these in terms of a sign's character is revealed through the combination of its Element (Fire, Air, Earth, or Water) and its Quality (Cardinal, Fixed, or Mutable). The energies of the signs do have some meaning in themselves, but are most strongly expressed as a backdrop for the planets and their relationships, as well as their placement with relation to the house cusps, especially the angles (1st, 10th, 7th and 4th houses, in order of strength).
Particular planets can be either sympathetic or otherwise to specific signs
The Elements and Qualities
The basic structural components of the world are known as elements, modified, or flavoured by their modalities, or qualities. In astrology, four material elements are recognised: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Originally conceived in ancient Greece and officially identified as elements by Plato himself, the astrological elements are beyond physical substinence, but are expressions of spiritual energies when talking astrological influences on individual beings overall.
The Elements
Astrological signs are categorized below by their ancient, elemental identities and symbolism (ancient drawings) below, along with their spiritual symbolism astrologically speaking:
1. 
= Fire = (spirit & energy),
2. 
= Air = (intellect & communication),
3. 
= Water = (emotion & nurture) and
4. 
= Earth = (material things & security).
These elements are considered the building blocks of existence at all levels, the universal forces upon which all life depends. They are also known as the quadruplicities, or modalities.
Please note that there Is a fifth element, or quintessence, which is the underlying "spiritual essence" out of which the four material elements are precipitated. The quintessence is central to spiritual development in many cultures and is also known as the astral light, the collective unconscious, and in yoga, the akasha, a sanskrit word meaning "shining". The karmic memory of nature is held to be stored in the akashic records.
The Qualities
Each sign is also identified by its quality.
1. Cardinal (creative) = head of the element;
2. Fixed (determined) = set in their way of the element;
3. Mutable (changeable) in character = follower of the element.
These features are known as the triplicities and are usually interpreted in conjunction with the elements or quadruplicities. The Fiery signs, for example, are Aries, the Ram (cardinal-fire), Leo, the Lion (fixed-fire) and Sagittarius, the Archer (mutable-fire). In other words, if you're an Aries, you are by nature an energetic leader, where if your a Leo, your wisely set in your ways, and sagittarius can go either way but usually tend to sway toward the way that is exciting, which usually tends to land them into unecessary trouble in the end before everything's said and done. Cancers, on the other hand, are the heaad of the emotions and best described as "the world's den mothers", pisces on the other hand are the water content in the fishbowl and confident in their position, whereas the scorpio are the most distrusting and reclused in all the wheel, including within there ownselves.
The "Zodiac" or "Circle of Animals" is the name given to the band encircling the earth on either side of the ecliptic, the Sun's path. It is like a belt in space, about 15-18 degrees wide, across which the planets move and form their aspects, or geometrical relationships. The Zodiac forms the symbolic backdrop for the path of the Sun, called the plane of the ecliptic.

Astrologers divide the circle of the ecliptic into twelve equal parts, each subdivided into 30 degrees, making 360 degrees in all. The twelve divisions are called the Signs of the Zodiac. The beginning of the Zodiac is deemed to be the first degree of Aries, marked in the Tropical Zodiac by the vernal equinox, at the start of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The signs are historically related (but not exactly identical) to the constellations (star groups) of the same name. There are many constellations, but there are only twelve signs. We emphasize this point in view of the recent furore over the so-called "13th Sign", the constellation Ophiucus, the Serpent Bearer—which has been known since ancient times, but is not and has never been a Sign of the Zodiac.

There are 9 traditional planets ("wanderers"), namely the 5 visible planets, plus Sun and Moon, along with the Moon's North and South Nodes. 3 transpersonal planets, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto, have been discovered in modern times, plus Chiron and the 4 main asteroids (Note: Ceres is now classed as a "dwarf planet", as is Pluto; other recently discovered bodies such as Eris are not yet classified for their astrological influence). The Part of Fortune also has planetary status, being the primary relationship point between Sun, Moon and Ascendant.
The Planets and Aspects
Each planet symbolises certain sides of your character; for example, Mars stands for action and passion, Jupiter stands for fortune and higher thought and so on. Planets are located symbolically in the chart: the signs and houses filter their energies through the planets, much as a coloured lens filters the image thrown by a stage-light, or received by a camera.
Planets which are particularly expressive of certain signs are said to rule these signs; a planet whose energies are most powerfully channelled through a certain sign is said to be exalted in that sign. Planets can have a positive (day) or a negative (night) rulership, but only one exaltation. The symbolism is so carefully designed that a planet placed in the opposite sign to its exaltation is found to be weak in the expression of its natural powers and is said to be in fall; planets in the opposite signs to their rulership are also weakly placed and are said to be in detriment.
