Each prophet has his zodiacal sign and his hour. And according to that zodiacal sign, and according to its ‘action’, so is a sign revealed to him, from VAV ו, for the twelve zodiacal signs are appointed over twelve hours, and over twelve months. And from there – from these zodiacal signs – do the twelve tribes inherit their souls.
And there are twelve from ‘the other side’, of which it is stated: (Gen. 25:16)... twelve princes according to their nations. For they are called: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, etc. This corresponding to that, did the blessed Holy One make.
