Ray Weightings
Contents
The Rays are the seven primary energetic influences proposed and described in various works relating to esoteric astrology and philosophy.
Each sign is considered to be influenced by a subset of rays, and possibly in varying proportions. In the "Preferences" dialog, "Calculations" tab two of the most commonly used schemes for assigning weightings to the rays influencing each sign are provided as options.
•Equal – This scheme is based directly on tabulations in the book “Esoteric Astrology” by Alice A. Bailey, and assumes that each ray influencing a sign does so in equal proportion.
•D.Baker – This scheme is based on the works of Dr. Douglas Baker, and assumes that the rays influence each sign disproportionately.
