The Plan of Universal Causes is another depiction of Kabbalistic relationships between the Sephirothic Tree and other phenomena of life, and the Active and Passive nature of "The Light."

This Chart depicts The Plan of Universal Causes by Robert Fludd (translated from the original Latin) out of his Collectio Operum. It must be remembered that this was published in the 1600's and that Kabbalah is a universal body of knowledge exclusive to no one. The chart depicts Kabbalistic Theory from the Christian perspective without diminishing the Hebraic Theory. The Theories of Robert Fludd correlate to Franz Bardon and Jakob Lorber exactly.

This chart also shows the scope of angelic influence within creation in general and to distinguish between the commonly practiced Mantic Astrology and Kabbalistic Astrology. The main difference being Mantic Astrology and Kabbalistic Astrology is the former is actually astronomical, measuring and tracking the physical planets and stars whose effect is physical and the latter which is actually concerned with the effect of the unseen astral influences upon life. The effects in Mantic Astrology are based strictly on the emitted light "particles" or reflections thereof from the heavenly bodies upon our Earth - whereas Kabbalistic Astrology deals with the actual Divine Order of the Astral Beings (Angels, Archangels, Intelligences, Genii, Seraphs, and Cherubs etc) that dispense the Will of God. Both are significant but worlds apart in their modus operandai.

The effects of Kabbalistic astrology are recognized by sound and number which is also the fundamental premise of Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, observing everything from colour to geometry, time of day to the time of birth has significance. This is also the basis for the ancient Laws of Analogy and Signature. Basically, Mantic Astrology is actually determining physical astronomical influence while Kabbalistic Astrology is actually determining Astral influences as the chart above further exemplifies. Because of the prognostic quality of Kabbalistic Astrology its information has commonly and often recklessly been inappropriately borrowed by Mantic Astrology. The accuracy and reliability of conclusions drawn and prognostications made using this mish-mashed information are for the individual to determine.

This does not mean that these forms of Astrology applied with the proper understanding within their scope cannot be extremely useful and accurate.
