Trump 7: The Law of Seven

The Law of Seven is also the law of the seven universal rays, the Rays of Evolution. "Fluid Light", the highest divine emanation, enters the solar system via the "7th sphere", ascribed to Saturn, and via the central transmuting agent, the Sun itself. It is associated with seven particular qualities, enters the solar system, is there changed and transmuted in accordance with the prevailing "vibrational state", and leaves again towards its origins beyond the solar system. The solar system as a whole may thus be seen as "inhaling" seven-fold evolutionary rays, transmuting these within, and "exhaling" these seven rays in their transmuted form.

The Law of Seven owes its primal arising, as seen from planet Earth within the binary Earth-Moon-Sphere, to the four-fold division of the Moon calendar of 28 days, thus creating four weeks of seven days. As this is not explored within the text of the Tarot Trumps, here the composition of the week-days is given. Sunday (Dimanche, Domenica, Sonntag) is dedicated either to the Sun or to God as symbolised by the Sun. Monday (Lundi, Lunedi, Montag) is dedicated to the Moon. Tuesday (Mardi, Martedi, Dienstag) is dedicated to either Mars or his Nordic equivalents. Wednesday (Mercredi, Mercoledi, Mittwoch) is dedicated to Mercury or his Nordic equivalents. Thursday (Jeudi, Giovedi, Donnerstag) is dedicated to Jupiter or his Nordic equivalents. Friday (Vendredi, Venerdi, Freitag) is dedicated to Venus or her Nordic equivalents. Saturday (Samedi, Sabato, Samstag) is dedicated to Saturn, his Nordic equivalents, or to the Shabat as "day of Saturn". As may be seen, the Moon-month is a fourfold repetition of the planetary influences within the solar system. Thus the Law of Seven stands for the Solar System and all its interplaying influences. These are described within the Trumps.

Within the Solar System, seven life-forms inhabit the spheres : plants, animals, Man, the Angelic or Demiurgic Beings, Higher Man or the Cosmic Individual, the planetary Rulers, and the Central Spirit of the Sun, which is symbolic of God, the One and All. The interplay of emanations within this sphere, which receives emanations from the galaxy and the universe, and emanates the waves, subtle forces, rays of its own alchemic transmutations, is governed by the Law of Seven. By the interplay with the primal Law of Three, the inherent Trinity of all Manifestation, the 21 powers, forces or spheres of the Tarot are created. For Man this means that by conscious interplay with all surrounding forces and dimensions, he may, within the solar system, evolve to become the Cosmic Individual, thus transcending the Angelic Beings. This depends on the conscious creation of the Body of Light, also called the Mer-Ka-Ba.

For a deeper analysis of the Law of Seven, and its interplay with the surrounding cosmic factors or principles, see Appendix 4: The Law of Mutual Self-Preservation.
