Correlating Parshiot and Zodiacal Signs

September 01, 2002

In putting together this table, I find the correlation between the traditional astrological glyphs and the Hebrew characters quite striking. Correlations are derived from chapter 5 of Sefer Yetzirah. I’ve also started a more complete chart, which includes tribal delineations.

Nissan			VaYikra Tsav Shemini
Iyar			Tazria Metsora Acharey Mot Kedoshim Emor BeHar BeChukotay BeMidbar
