Teil 14 · Kapitel 79

And therefore in this firmament there are: stars, and constellations, the sun, and the moon. For the stars are the souls of the righteous, who descend there from the upper brain, and stand there, and from there descend to Malchut. And the constellations are twelve, in the secret of the six extremities from Hesed and below: six from below upward, and six from above downward, as mentioned in the Tikkunim. For although all the nine strike this firmament, the striking of the six extremities is not like the rest, for each one has its own aspect; and therefore from the six extremities go out twelve constellations.
